A major subsea research initiative has launched this month. The National Subsea Research Initiative (NSRI) will be the focal point for the co-ordination of research and development activities for the UK’s subsea oil and gas sector.

As a direct link between the subsea community and academia as well as government, NSRI will facilitate the development of subsea technologies which enable increased recovery of hydrocarbons, prolonging the life of the UKCS as well as innovation which adds value to the UK’s subsea engineering base, helping to maintain the country’s position as a world-leader in subsea.

NSRI will play an influential role in making sure the UK’s subsea technology needs are understood and met within the increasingly complex and competitive technology strategy and associated funding landscape in the UK.
