    Don Vardeman championed successive applications of the production spar technology for deepwater development, and by his leadership in deepwater mega projects has provided an important example for Project Management in the offshore oil & gas industry. His untiring efforts in technology, academic and business societies, as well as his willingness to mentor colleagues and other young professionals have advanced the entire industry. Don successfully led Oryx Energy’s deepwater group to design, install, and operate the industry’s first production spar—named Neptune—in 1996 at Viosca Knoll 826. His team and that project revolutionized the offshore industry by developing an economical application for producing reserves in deepwater.
