Thanks for setting up the community Stu, i'm here to help and mentor Newbies and share experiences with the community. I'm a Freelance client rep mostly with BP & Azule-Energy which is a 50/50 JV between BP & ENI in Angola. I'm a chartered Marine Engineer, volunteer Mentor and Assessor with the Institute of Marine Engineering Science and Technology IMarEST. I have also kept my 3.4U certificate in date since 2009, so happy to discuss all things Subsea.
