GATE was involved early in the seawater treating design basis to influence / impart operability and commissioning efforts. From the design phase, GATE became responsible for dynamic commissioning and start-up during the offshore phase.

GATE provided seawater treating equipment process, materials, corrosion, chemical, and commissioning / start-up expertise. The scope included shaping the design of the seawater treating equipment and providing commissioning leadership and start-up expertise. The equipment included a Minox and Sulfate Removal Units.

GATE provided process / commissioning expertise in the pre-commissioning and dynamic commissioning of the Tahiti II deaeration system (100,000 BWPD Minox).

Scope included planning for the offshore portion of the commissioning and offshore execution with the pre-commissioning contractor including confirmation of design, heat and mass balancing, and performance testing.

GATE was engaged to evaluate the current condition and remaining life of the subsea jumpers and flowline of a deepwater oil and gas facility in the Gulf of Mexico.

The subsea field, which was comprised of multiple oil wells, was produced at a Tension Leg Platform (TLP) with a nominal capacity to produce 100,000 barrels of oil and 50 million cubic feet of gas per day. The subsea and topsides facilities were designed to operate with an expected maximum carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration of 0.15 mole percent from any given producing well.
