Nippon Foundation: “DeepStar”

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed on a collaborative R & D program with the major oil consortium “DeepStar” on May 1, last year.

After that, we applied for a project from a Japanese company and examined with DeepStar, an oil major, etc.

Adopted the following 10 offshore oil and gas technology development projects.

We announced in Houston on May 10th.

The Nippon Foundation, in cooperation with DeepStar, will continue to support the efforts of these projects to open up a new world of marine development in the future.
