GORI has entered into a Masters Services Agreement (MSA) with Danos Corporation to help evaluate the offshore platforms for alternative uses.

The Gulf Offshore Research Institute (GORI) was awarded a start-up grant from the Fondren Foundation for $125,000. “We are very appreciative of the Fondren Foundation’s generous support of GORI”, said Mr. Kent Satterlee, Executive Director of the Gulf Offshore Research Institute, and we believe the funding will go a long way toward getting our offshore platforms ready for the many potential users in the Gulf. We also appreciate the Foundation’s recognition of the value of these offshore platforms to support recreational fishing, scientific research, and offshore renewable energy. Especially during this time of unprecedented uncertainty and hardship, we want to demonstrate the viability of utilizing this valuable offshore infrastructure and its promise to our ocean economy.”
