Default Goodbye Helix hello Technip

this post is more for the guys on here still at Helix. others may read/post if they want.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone back at Helix. I took a nice long vacation and started at Technip on Monday.

I am in teh subsea engineering group not the installation group.

talk about going from one end of the project life cycle to the other. The project I am working on now started a year ago and should be installed in early 2013. Its a pretty big project though.


anyways, I just wanted to say hi, maybe sometime when yall have an afterwork BSP meeting I will come downa nd have a beer with yall.

keep in touch

Brook

Technip... They are going to try and get into the ROV business I think? Perry Slingsby is contracted to build subs for them if I remember right. Or maybe they had some deal with SubSea7?

I believe it's their own or SubSea's... I don't believe they are ours though. What are the names of the bigger vessels?

I beer would be good if I ever make my way back from India.
giv me a hand installing a couple of turbos on the car and you can have all the beer you want

I am not sure if I want to tackle the install or have a shop do it. looks like it would be a PITA.
