It was standing room only at the Ion, the centre of Houston’s innovation district, for the official launch of the Woodside-Rice Decarbonisation Accelerator. Houston is just as excited as we are about our most recent technology collaboration! Woodside Energy and Rice University executives received a capacity crowd at the Ion, spanning industry, government, and academia, for the official launch of the Woodside-Rice Decarbonisation Accelerator (the Accelerator) in January of this year. We’re proud to be contributing US$12.5 million to this initiative over the next five years with an aim to bring breakthrough decarbonisation technology from Rice labs to market.

We seek out opportunities to improve our business performance through innovative thinking and applying technologies developed outside our industry. We recently became a foundation buyer in Australia for a two-part epoxy coating called Humidur. Find out how we use this product.

In partnership with The University of Western Australia (UWA) and Chevron, we launched the Centre for Long Subsea Tiebacks at UWA. The Centre will drive research into new subsea engineering technologies for offshore oil and gas production and maintain Western Australia's competitiveness in the LNG market.
