DeepStar II: Continuing industry cooperation for technology development
DeepStar is a Texaco-administered consortium of 17 offshore oil/gas producers (participants) and 46 supplier/vendor organizations (contributors). The program is consistent with Texaco`s vision for development of the deepwater Gulf which is closely tied to the concept of cooperation and evolution of a synergistic relationship with other members of the oil community. There are many ways for the oil industry to cooperate in a manner that benefits all. Texaco believes that it will indeed take a cooperative effort to facilitate the commercial realization of the deepwater of the Gulf. What is required is a common vision on the best way to proceed. DeepStar may provide that common vision as well as the vehicle that moves the industry forward into the new deepwater frontier. DeepStar is redefining the way that major operators, suppliers, and government agencies can work together to promote development in technically challenging environments such as the deepwater Gulf. The program has now been operational for over two years. Many technology issues critical to the progress of deepwater development are being addressed and innovative development concepts and approaches are being evolved.
