Lean energy management required for economic ultradeepwater development

摘要

Conversion to lean energy management will be required to insure economic development in ultradeepwater regions. Software-controlled lean systems integration will drive innovation toward breakthrough cost and cycle-time savings. This move will utilize commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software widely used in the communications, chemical processing, aerospace, automotive, and other high-tech manufacturing industries but not yet used for lean management in the upstream energy industry.
