DeepStar is a collaborative consortium that has developed a framework to address emerging technologies and topics for its members within the oil & gas community working towards a common goal of efficiently developing offshore technologies by removing barriers for technology adoption.

This technology symposium provides attendees a public forum to hear both operator's technology needs, a summary of the technology advancement within the service company segment, and the introduction of the DeepStar Program, and other industry initiatives that spark technology development.

Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to hear different perspectives on how operators and service companies value technology development, while DeepStar forecasts its technical subcommittees’ focus for the rest of the 2021 Program and beyond. The focus of the discussion will be on linking strategic needs from the operator’s community with the strategic decisions from the service companies focusing on specific areas including drilling operations, flow assurance, subsea systems engineering, fixed & floating offshore production, autonomous operations, and green house gas emission reduction and carbon abatement and other areas.
