OESI Roadmap 2024 – Oil & Gas, Wind, and Marine Energy
The Ocean Energy Safety Institute (OESI) is at the forefront of advancing safe ocean energy production through its collaborative consortium. Central to its operations is a robust refresh process for the research roadmap, ensuring ongoing relevance and impact. This process solicits broad stakeholder input to validate, adapt, or identify new targets and strategic pathways while eliminating obsolete elements. The refreshed roadmap, a guiding document for OESI’s collaborative efforts, integrates insights gathered on the state-of-the-art, problem statements, and knowledge gaps. This iterative process, overseen by the Joint Steering Committee, fuels Project Calls by providing real-time information on critical development needs. The outcome is a dynamic roadmap that not only aligns stakeholders but also serves as a foundation for the OESI Annual Plan and Request for Proposals, propelling the consortium towards cutting-edge, sustainable ocean energy solutions.
OESI Annual Plan 2024
The OESI Annual Plan aims to outline the planned activities that will receive funding in the upcoming year across various application areas. These research activities are determined based on the specifics outlined in the Refreshed Roadmap. The Request for Proposals (RFP) for research projects will be formulated by OESI in alignment with the Annual Plan, using the project call process.
Project Calls
Request for proposals are generated from our roadmaps and annual plans. The Ocean Energy Safety Institute consortium uses a Federal Acquisition Regulation-compliant research project call process.
Consortium members are invited to submit a proposal that must include a clearly defined approach, tangible outcomes, budget justification and quantifiable success metrics.
Proposals are selected using an evaluation process that employs non-advocate review and selection criteria with merit-based scoring rubrics tied to the solicitation’s requirements.
Annual Report
The OESI is pleased to publish its Annual Report for Year 3. Our annual reports provide updates for our current and potential OESI Consortium Members on our progress to meet our funded research goals as well as our visions, collaborative efforts, external engagements, and our commitment to the safety of U.S. Offshore Energy resources. Readers are also provided an insight into the OESI’s plans to develop knowledge, technologies, and workforce development that will increase the safety and sustainability of U.S. ocean energy resources.
