DeepStar Director

1DeepStar Overview
DeepStar• is the industry’s longest running and mostsuccessful offshore technology development
consortium• has generated significant value by providing
technology transfer to its members and theindustry• will be needed more by major operators and theindustry for collaborative technology developmentin the future2

DeepStar Overview (cont.)
DeepStar’s primary goals are to:• improve the profitability, execution, operability,flexibility and reliability of existing offshore production
systems technology• i.e., enhance existing technology• enable and assure cost effective continued service ofproducing assets• ensure correct technology availability at the correctbusiness intercept time
• develop and implement technology to enableproduction in areas that are currently technicallyunproven with the specific goal of developing thetechnology required for economic production inoffshore3

DeepStar Overview (cont.)• work to ensure the Acceptance of offshore technology by:o facilitating the development of industry standards &practices as appropriateo fostering communications with appropriate
stakeholders• act in a facilitator role,o providing a forum and a process for discussion,
guidance, and feedback with contractors, vendors,operators, and academia regarding offshore production
system technology capability gaps
o promoting standardization of component interfaces
