Offshore extraction of oil and gas lies at the heart of Australia's prosperity, but faces escalating challenges in water depths already in excess of 1 km and approaching 3 km. Safe and economic design of seabed systems and pipelines requires novel techniques for assessing the engineering properties of seabed sediments, and for foundation and anchoring systems that must withstand extreme loading conditions. This project contributes to future exploitation of offshore hydrocarbon reserves, by developing new technology and improved reliability in offshore geotechnical design, with consequential benefits to our economy and in minimising impact on the marine environment.

海上石油和天然气开采是澳大利亚繁荣的核心，但在水深已经超过1公里并接近3公里的水域面临不断升级的挑战。海底系统和管道的安全和经济设计需要新的技术来评估海底沉积物的工程特性，以及必须承受极端载荷条件的基础和锚固系统。该项目通过开发新技术和提高海上岩土工程设计的可靠性，为未来开发海上碳氢化合物储量做出了贡献，从而为我们的经济带来了相应的好处，并将对海洋环境的影响降至最低。
