Members Commitments and Expectations

Objectives

ITF exists to facilitate the collaborative research, development and implementation of new technologies within oil and gas and related energy industries. The principal vehicle for this is a proven process which delivers Joint Indsutry Projects (JIPs) that address member needs. Accordingly, it is ITF's aim to have every member contributing to JIPs that add value to their business.

ITF Commits its Members to:

• Actively manage membership to ensure an active, aligned group of companies commited to technology development and deployment in oil and gas and related energy industries
• Engage with multiple contacts within each member company across all company locations to:
• Understand Members' technology needs
• Inform all Members of all JIP proposals (developers will not be able to exclude any Member from seeing a proposal)
• Inform Members of other relevant events and information
• Maintain dialogue with senior management to ensure management support for working with ITF
• Conduct an annual review which addresses "what ITF has done for you"
• Enable each Member to select what projects to support
