Woodside to Bring Space Tech to Oil & Gas

A statement of strategic intent and cooperation agreement signed in Perth by Dr. Megan Clark AC, Head of the Australian Space Agency, and Woodside Vice President Technology Jason Crusan is designed to highlight areas of potential research, development and commercial outcomes, targeting specific technology developments as well as improved capability and competitiveness of wider Australian industry.

“By looking outside our industry to the Australian Space Agency, we can accelerate the development of technologies that allow us to safely and efficiently manage assets in remote and harsh environments,” said Woodside CEO Peter Coleman.

“This initiative will build on Woodside’s work in remote sensors and data analytics, as well as our ongoing collaboration in robotics with the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration.”

Dr. Clark noted, “The Australian resources sector is leading the world in remote management and maintenance through robotics, automation and artificial intelligence. These technologies and applications are critical requirements in any future near space and other space exploration initiatives.”
