Offshore delegation to US

A DELEGATION of more than twenty WA-based companies led by Attorney General Peter Foss recently attended a major investment and export development conference in the US.

The Offshore Technology Conference exhibition in Houston, Texas is a key conference for the offshore oil and gas industry, with more than thirty countries represented.

Mr Foss said the WA delegation highlighted the Australian Resources Research Centre in Bentley Technology Park to OTC attendees.

He said the State Govern-ment’s $34.8 million investment in the centre represented the largest funding package ever provided by the State for dedicated research into the resources and energy sector.
