Oil and gas is a key Australian industry, worth over $15 billion annually. In order to maintain current hydrocarbon production levels, Australian offshore oil and gas companies are extending their capabilities beyond the 2000 metre water depth limit. The offshore industry has identified economic and geotechnical limitations of current anchoring technology to be the major challenge that must be overcome in order to make this transition into deep and ultra-deep water. The research proposed in this project focuses directly on this critical issue, with potential for immediate application to the Australian offshore oil and gas industry, and ensuring the continued viability of the key oil and gas industry in Australia.

石油和天然气是澳大利亚的主要产业，每年价值超过150亿美元。为了维持当前的碳氢化合物生产水平，澳大利亚海上石油和天然气公司正在将其功能扩展到2000米水深限制之上。离岸行业已经确定了当前锚定技术的经济和岩土技术局限性，是必须克服的主要挑战，以使这种过渡到深层深水。该项目中提出的研究直接关注这一关键问题，并有可能立即应用于澳大利亚海上石油和天然气行业，并确保澳大利亚主要石油和天然气行业的持续生存能力。
