The Gulf Offshore Research Institute (GORI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to repurposing retired offshore oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico for alternative uses. Their mission includes marine monitoring, energy and environmental research, scientific education and training, as well as promoting the Blue Economy through multi-use applications. GORI also collaborates with oil and gas operators to evaluate platforms at the end of their producing life and explore options for offshore renewable energy and aquaculture operations.
With approximately 2000 offshore platforms in Federal waters, GORI aims to provide alternatives to platform removal by leveraging their expertise in converting these structures for various purposes. By working within the regulations set by the Federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, GORI seeks to create a better future for the Gulf of Mexico by harnessing the potential of offshore platforms beyond their oil and gas production life.
