Wood plans to integrate the University of Western Australia's mechanistic hydrate model into its online Virtuoso software to allow operators to calculate the risk of costly hydrate blockages in subsea pipes. The researchers are also working on a new method for predicting how much oil is left in an offshore reservoir and what it will take to extract it.

Wood has secured a new funding partnership with National Energy Resources Australia (NERA) to support the development of the prediction model.
