Research

The OTRC is a joint venture of Texas' two leading research universities -- Texas A&M University and the University of Texas at Austin -- and a center of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station, a state research agency.

A focused, cross-disciplinary research program has been developed utilizing faculty from both universities and outreach to several other institutions outside of Texas. The five major research areas of current concern are:

• Floating Structures
• Risers and Moorings
• Materials
• Seafloor Engineering
• Subsea Systems
• Other Projects

Applied research programs sponsored by the industry consortia complement the basic research programs funded by the government and the offshore petroleum industry.
