Ocean Therapy Solutions (OTS) is a company owned by actor Kevin Costner. He acquired the company from the United States government for US$24 million in 1995. The company specializes in developing centrifugal oil-water separators. After the "Exxon Valdez" oil spill in 1989, Costner wanted to find a new way to separate oil from water, so he acquired the company. He found it difficult to promote its products, until BP placed an order for several of the company's devices in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
