Core Program• Funded with membership fees from core
members, associated members, admin
fees from Satellite program andPartnership program

Satellite Program• Satellite projects are funded withseparate cash calls from the project
participants (mainly operatorcompanies)• Focused on small projects and multi• A Satellite project must be led by at leastphase projects on common industry needs
one DeepStar Core operator company• Set to develop ideas for Satellite program• Core members can participate in Satellite
projects with only 10% project admin fee• Proposal due date: May 31, 2021

• Non-DeepStar members/operators canparticipate in any Satellite project with35% project admin fee• Two participants can start a Satellite
project• Proposal due date: anytime

DeepStar Program Framework (cont.)

Partnership Program
Nippon Foundation (NF) DeepStar Partnership(connected to Core Program)•Projects are funded with financial support from the Nippon Foundation (80%) & Japanesevendors (20%); and guided with technical support from DeepStar core operators•

Proposals are evaluated, reviewed, and selected by DeepStar; and approved by NF•

Projects are managed by DeepStar (guided by DeepStar champions & chairs)•

DeepStar Core members can access to NF DeepStar partnership projects without additional
cost – reports/deliverables are shared with all DeepStar Core members•Project contractors/vendors are Japanese companies or other companies collaborated withJapanese companies•

1. Geothermal generation by using high temperature in preserver (renewableenergy)
2. Wind power/Ocean current power generation to supply offshore oil & gas
production facilities (renewable)
3. Cost reduction technology for flammable gas removal and re injection at
production facilities (global warming)
4. Establishment of oil spill drift forecast simulation method by using local ocean
current monitoring by aerial drone (marine environment)
5. Hydrogen related technologies
6. Safety related techs including NUF (normally unattended facilities) and robotics
7. Water treatment related technologies

DeepStar expectations for Japanese companies
1. Communicate with the Nippon Foundation and DeepStar to understand generalneeds for proposals requested funding from the NF DeepStar Partnership Program.
2. Engage with DeepStar core members/operators to understand DeepStar
operators’ business and technical needs.
3.

Find overlapped areas between the needs of DeepStar operators and thetechnical capabilities of Japanese companies.

4. Develop ideas for proposals in such overlapped areas – a Japanese company canalso work with another international tech company to jointly deliver a project.
5. Convince at least one technical representative from a DeepStar core
member/operator to champion the idea to develop it into an official proposal.
6. Submit the one-pagers/proposals to the Nippon Foundation between mid-Jan andJan 31, 2022.
7. Plan to attend the DeepStar Technology Symposium on May 6, 2022 (if possible).
8. Get ready to start the projects by June 2022 (if the proposals are approved).
