Offshore oil and gas production makes a significant contribution to the Australian economy and enhances our energy security. Australia's vast deep-sea reserves of hydrocarbons lie on the NW Shelf and in Bass Strait, ecological 'hot spots' that are extremely vulnerable to the impact of exploration, extraction and production. Using deep-sea equipment, we will conduct the field experiments that are essential to understanding these ecosystems and the impact of deep-sea structures. Our advances will produce data and develop methodologies that will make Australia a world leader in reconciling our deep-sea energy and environmental needs.

海上石油和天然气生产为澳大利亚经济做出了重大贡献，并增强了我们的能源安全。 澳大利亚巨大的深海碳氢化合物储量位于西北大陆架和巴斯海峡，这些生态“热点”极易受到勘探、开采和生产的影响。我们将利用深海设备进行实地实验，这对于了解这些生态系统和深海结构的影响至关重要。我们的进步将产生数据和开发方法，使澳大利亚成为协调深海能源和环境需求的世界领导者。
