Project Overview

The GATO DO MATO FPSO project involves TUFF providing a wide range of services including construction supervision, engineering, project controls, and detailed Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for both topsides and hull utilities. The project aims to establish a robust and efficient FPSO system that meets all safety and operational requirements.

Project Details

TUFF's integrated team works in close collaboration with Saipem and BW Offshore to support the overall design competition for the GATO DO MATO FPSO. The team's efforts are focused on establishing a solid process design basis, assessing topside configurations, and evaluating the conversion versus new build hull options. The project also includes a detailed assessment of H2S removal systems and the evaluation of turbine-driven versus electric drives to optimize operational efficiency.

The scope of the project also extends to the generation of MTO (Material Take-Off) and weight estimation, vendor proposal evaluation, and providing input to the project execution plan and schedule. Through a detailed and thorough approach, TUFF ensures that all systems and equipment undergo rigorous engineering, fabrication, installation, integration, testing, and commissioning processes.

Scope of Work

• Establish Process Design Basis from well data provided by the client
• Overall Design Basis establishment for topsides and hull & naval architecture
• Topside Configuration Assessment for optimal design efficiency
• Conversion vs. New Build Hull Assessment to determine the best approach
• H2S Removal System Assessment for zero-emission compliance
• Turbine Driven vs. Electric Drives Assessment for enhanced performance
• Establishing Module Size and Weight considering identified yards
• Detailed FEED for Topsides and Hull Utilities to ensure comprehensive project design
• MTO and Weight Estimation Generation for proposal teams
• FEED Definition Document Generation to guide project execution
• Optimization and Value Engineering Activities for cost-effectiveness
• Vendor Proposal Evaluation for selecting the best suppliers
• Input to Project Execution Plan and Schedule for streamlined operations
• Project Risk Register Input to identify and mitigate potential risks

Conclusion

The GATO DO MATO FPSO project highlights TUFF's capability in delivering extensive design, engineering, and construction supervision services. By closely working with the client and applying meticulous project management practices, TUFF ensures the successful completion of the project with a focus on safety, efficiency, and operational excellence.
