Garrett’s book addresses that gap in an easily accessible all encompassing guide. This book has all you need to know for buying and owning property in Central Florida.

COMMISSIONING OF OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS PROJECTS  by Trond Bendiksne

The book’s primary focus is preventing the industry’s upward trending schedule and cost overruns. It provides specific figures and facts based on experience, as well as extensive advice on how to apply strategic and tactical measures to ensure successful project completion. It covers not only all the “standard” important aspects of commissioning, but also paramount strategic elements that need to be in place to ensure a robust and streamlined project process. Special focus is on maximizing up-front planning as well as continuous risk evaluation in all phases of a project.

Also included in the book is a chapter about Ethics and Values.  Here a summary of the Top 10 Guiding Principles:

  1. Team guidance and leadership should be based on honesty and care.
