About Me

Dear MR. Hooper,

On behalf of Petro-Canada. I am writing to thank you for the support that Hooper Welding Enterprises Ltd provided during our 2003 HTU incident at our lubricants Center.

As you are aware this incident was unexpected, and without notice, demanding the immidiate response of Petro-Canada personel and its entire supply base for the immediate provisions of materials and Services.

The excellent response provided by your staff helped us all to meet the challenges required to practically ‘re-build’ a complete process unit in record time. The people at Hooper Welding enterprises Ltd, should be proud of their performance towords this accomplishment.

Petro-Canada relies heavily on suppliers and service providers to run a safe and productive operation. This untimely incident has once again confirmed that without the support of companies such as yours, we would not have been successful.

Please pass on our sincere thanks to all concerned.

Yours truly,

Robert j Major

To Whom It May Concern:

In January of 2006, Hooper Welding Enterprises Limited was contracted by Worley Parsons in Houston, Texas to fabricate (3) three desalter vessels for ExxonMobil’s pipestill 3 (PS3) and Pipestill 7 (PS7) projects in Baytown, Texas.

P.O. #157000-20127 was issued to fabricate Tag# DR-712 for PS3 while P.O. #157000-20134 was issued to fabricate Tag#s DR-723 and DR-724 for PS7.

Hooper Welding worked very close with WorleyParsons engineering to ensure that the vessels were fabricated to the highest quality standards and in compliance with all specifications. After completing fabrication, the vessels were successfully hydrotested and post weld heat treated. Hooper Welding subcontracted the installation of the internal electric grid systems which were provided by others. This work required a high level of coordination with a designated 3rd party inspector who was a specialist in this field. Next, a qualified subcontractor was selected to coat the vessels with thermal spray aluminum (TSA). Finally, the vessels were insulated by a qualified subcontractor at the Hooper facility in Oakville.

In addition to completing all(3) three desalters on schedule, Hooper Welding was involved in the difficult task of shipping these vessels via rail from Oakville, Ontario, Canada to ExxonMobil’s plant in Baytown, Texas, USA. All (3) three vessels arrived at ExxonMobil’s rail spur in Baytown, Texas without damage to the vessels or the insulation.

WorleyParsons congradulates Hooper Welding for a job well done and looks forword to working with Hooper Welding Enterprises limited on other projects in the future.

Dear Chris:

I wanted to express our appreciation for the great job you and Hooper Welding did on the coalescer and amine contactor vessels for Oneok. It was nice to receive vessels early for a change. The contactor vessels looked awesome with the nice shiny lagging, and insulating them in the shop saved a lot of time in the field. our fears of damage to the insulation during shipment proved unfounded.

We also appreciate the effort you personally went to work with the railroad to come up with a routing to the jobsite. thanks for the job well done, and we look forword to working with Hooper again on future orders.

Sincerely,
Burns & McDonnell
