- Abstract
- This Sixth Annual Information Transfer Meeting (ITM) is the second such meeting in which projects from the Minerals's Management Service (MMS) Technology Assessment and Research Program have been presented. A year ago we discussed deep ocean well control, the collection of oil from blowing wells, and the structures proejcts directly pertaining to Tension Leg Platforms (TLP.) Recent leasing of deepwater tracts in the Gulf of Mexico and the Conoco TLP planned for the Green Canyon Area, have offered assurances that the new technologies needed for the deep slope waters are going to be developed. In this vein, we continue at this year's ITM.
