1.	To develop further the capability, effieciency and reliability of pumps, including            TE + CR
         downhole electrical submersible pumps, hydraulic pumps and jet pumps.

2.	To develop improved lifting technology for use with heavy oils.                                    TE +E

	(Asset focus of the above topics: field development and production, especially 
        for heavy oil)	

TE- technology enhancement.  CR- cost reduction.  E- enabling.
