SBS was commissioned to review technical and operational issues on a complicated deepwater project and recommend solutions. Their specialist subsea and TSR engineers’ approach in dealing with the issues was robust and always very professional. Their recommended solutions were subsequently implemented, resulting in significant cost, time and resource savings for ConocoPhillips. We look forward to working with the SBS Team again on other projects.– Bill McIntosh
