He started his own consulting/R&D company in 1980 and received a contract to develop specifications for in-situ inspection and testing system for tension leg platform tendons (tensioned pipes used to anchor floating oil production systems). He also helped develop and market a patented energy recovery pump for use with reverse osmosis desalination systems. In 1989 Dr. Halkyard teamed with Deep Oil Technology, Inc. (DOT) to develop and sell the spar production system for deepwater oil drilling and production. This led to the successful installation of 16 of these large floating production systems between 1995 and the present. When DOT was acquired by Aker Maritime in 2000, Dr. Halkyard joined Aker to be in charge of their deepwater R&D effort. Aker’s deepwater group was subsequently acquired by Technip where Dr. Halkyard holds the position of Chief Research Advisor.
