Consortium Organization

OESI is organized under an agreement between the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station and the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement and the U.S. Department of Energy.

A world-class team of consortium members has been assembled that covers the entire geographic, environmental and technological footprint needed to address our mission and goals.

A world-class team of consortium members (including 16 universities, 9 industry organizations of varying size, 3 national labs, U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Pacific Ocean Energy Trust, and the Offshore Operators Committe) has been assembled that covers the entire geographic (a map of the United States), environmental, and technological footprint needed to address the mission and goals of OESI. This will be accomplished through collaboration, diversity of ideas and expertise, innovation, shared learning, promotion of dialog and complementary research.
