Vision

To be the premier subsea engineering research institute focused on discovering safe and reliable ultra deepwater solutions for  enabling and increasing offshore oil and gas recovery.

Mission Statement

Build a synergistic academic-industry research partnership advancing subsea engineering and graduate student education with an emphasis on technology transfer to industry.

Values

Develop engineers that understand multi-scale multi-physics modeling and intelligent systems within a multi-disciplinary curriculum to produce environmentally protective subsea oil and gas systems.

Research Goals

  • offshore.jpg Integrate a broad range of engineering research programs applicable to subsea engineering with full-scale and near full-scale testing laboratories located at each university campus
  • Establish international subsea research facilities available to the Alliance Partners
  • Perform propriety research under the International Subsea Engineering Research Institute
  • Perform pre-competitive research among the Alliance partners
  • Build qualification and testing facilities coupled to workforce development
