Gulf Offshore Research Institute, along with Blue Silo Aquaculture and Excipio Energy, have completed and submitted to the U.S. Department of Energy our Phase I study report on the various uses for Gulf of Mexico energy infrastructure and blue development. Application has been made for Phase II. A copy of the report can be found here.
In collaboration with the Center for Sportfish Science and Conservation of the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies (Texas A&M), GORI is conducting research to quantify the ecological value of a standing platform compared with a platform moved to a reef site. This collaboration will evaluate how oil and gas platform habitats function to support marine life in the Gulf of Mexico. The Phase I report has been completed and can be found here.
GORI becomes a participant in the National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) Environmental, Social, and Governance Network (ESG Network). The ESG Network is a programmatic effort to share and develop best practices across the offshore energy industry. GORI is pleased to lend its expertise and its portfolio of offshore platforms to making the U.S. offshore industry the best it can be.
