“G’day John,
I am just writing, wanted to say thank you, to you and Jessica for your assistance in mobilising a packer to the Alba Thermal Springs project.
We greatly appreciated the effort RIPE made to get the equipment to us without delay and associated rig costs.
The packer worked well in both screen installations and the project has been successfully completed.
Cheers
Steve – Senior Hydrogeologist
