Oil and gas is a key industry in Australia, contributing A$17 billion to the economy. However, with the large accessible reserves in shallower waters becoming exhausted, Australian oil and gas companies require new technologies to extend their capabilities. The research in this proposal addresses this concern, providing an extension of the operational depth range of mobile jack-up platforms from 120 to 200 m. This creates the opportunity to develop the significant number of Australia's smaller gas fields that are currently uneconomical to exploit. The proposed project will contribute to the future competitiveness of Australia's oil and gas industry and ensuring energy supply for the sustained growth of the Australian economy.

石油和天然气是澳大利亚的关键产业，为经济贡献了170亿美元。但是，随着较浅水域的大量储备量变得筋疲力尽，澳大利亚石油和天然气公司需要新技术来扩展其能力。该提案中的研究解决了这一问题，从而扩展了移动升级平台的运行深度范围从120 m到200 m。这创造了机会开发目前不经济的澳大利亚较小天然气场。拟议的项目将有助于澳大利亚石油和天然气行业的未来竞争力，并确保能源供应澳大利亚经济的持续增长。
