WA:ERA Research
The Western Australian Energy Research Alliance (WA:ERA) is focused on providing premium quality research and technology-based solutions and education services to the global energy industry, particularly to companies with commercial activity in Western Australia.
Oil and gas exploration and production is highly dependent on leading edge technologies. As the industry moves to ultra-deepwater exploration and production, new challenges require innovative technological solutions to utilise assets in an safe and economical way. WA:ERA partners draw together specialised skills in all science and technology areas necessary to address challenges concerning the discovery, development, recovery, transportation and refinement of sub-surface energy sources.
WA:ERA has three core strategic research programs which target key technology challenges for the industry in WA, covering:
Program Development Leaders, supported by research staff from across CSIRO, Curtin University of Technology and The University of Western Australia are collaborating on a number of research projects with support from Industry and Government.
