“[They were] a big help in making the Commissioning effort a success.”
I would like to Recognize Clay Sparks for his tremendous work. (and the fact that he did it calmly and always with a smile). Clay came to the project under a very difficult situation where we needed him to develop a more “fit-for-purpose” commissioning plan; along with finding ways to reduce cost. Working on his own most of the time, with very little guidance and assistance from the Katmai team, he was able to put together the systems, procedures, and plans that were more in line with my expectations. Once he got offshore he was able to find further opportunities for improvement. He also found a way to bring cohesion to the various groups; and get the contractors to work better together with each other. He was a big help in making the Commissioning effort a success.

“It is evident that GATE is mindful about cost and therefore request with cost implications are reasonable and justified.…”
Although I have only been on the project for a few months, working with the GATE Team has been a pleasure. The team is open-minded and always open to constructive criticism and responsive to project needs/requests. I look forward to working with the GATE Team for the remainder of the project. The team is always very responsive to request appropriate with the degree of urgency for the task. Although we have not begun executing commissioning activities, the quality of the planning and procedures produced by the team has met or exceeded the expectations of BP.

“Looking forward to the next project…”
Experience with Lincoln facilitating the process was great. [He] made himself available as required to not hinder startup critical activities. Responsiveness to multiple and numerous BP requests was handled professionally. Forms and process was smooth, and nothing was missed out. [The] process aligns with both a small operators requirements and easily transfers to a majors. Looking forward to the next project.

“GATE is second to none…”
On behalf of the Colibri project, thank you for your services! Without a doubt, I will work with GATE and Chuck Centore again in a heartbeat. The GATE personnel are world-class. From a technical perspective, GATE is second to none. The major component of the planning was preparing the personnel for international travel, and associated pandemic-protocol requirements. Chuck and I had regular calls and e-mail correspondence, with no project delay ever encountered.

“I've personally learned so much while working w/ Karan over these past 2 years and feel he has done an exceptional job in supporting us…”
Overall, very impressed by how knowledgeable and sharp Karan (Deokar) is and how much value he continues to bring to our projects. He is very aware of issues that have occurred in the past and brings that experience forward to our projects. This helps us understand and be aware of what could be critical for the project and what those problem areas are that we should be actively looking out for. It is really difficult to think of any improvement areas, as his communication, support (during office hours/outside of office hours) and guidance is greatly appreciated by our project. I've personally learned so much while working w/ Karan over these past 2 years and feel he has done an exceptional job in supporting us.
