Abstract
The Brutus TLP was installed in 2976 of water in Green
Canyon Block 158 in May - June 2001. Various teams from
within the Shell organization were responsible for planning
and executing the offshore installation, commissioning, and
startup activities. Since each team was focused on developing
work plans to complete their individual scope of work, a
working level team was formed to coordinate interfaces while
ensuring a best for project philosophy was utilized in
decision making. The Brutus Offshore Coordination Team
(OCT) was formed in July 1999 for the purpose of
coordinating the planning activities of the teams working on
the offshore portion of the Brutus project. This paper describes
the organization, tools, and work process developed and
applied by the OCT to achieve the objective of optimizing
critical path to first oil while considering cost, quality, safety,
and environmental issues.
Introduction
The Brutus Project was organized in a team-based
environment, which was necessary to staff multiple projects.
The matrix organization supplied resources for all work from
the various Shell communities. The team-based project
management structure had been proven successful on the
previous Ursa TLP project and was an effective way to
optimize resources in a multi-project organization.
The Brutus project leadership was also faced with several
cost challenges that where compounded by a low oil price and
the fact that Brutus was a 100% Shell project. This translated
into managing resources based on need, dealing with a
greater risk exposure, and still having to deliver on an
aggressive schedule.
Once the cost challenges where achieved and the project
was sanctioned, the focus shifted to accelerating schedule

Hot Work Complete - Delayed 14 days due to HDCF problems, which included bolt and valve change out.
First Well Perforation - Delayed five days due to inadvertent release of production riser and HDCF punchlist scope.
Oil P/L Ready for Start Up - Accelerated 8 days due to work progressing better than expected.
Gas P/L Ready for Start Up - Accelerated 7 days due to work progressing better than expected.
First Oil - August 2, 2001 - Delayed four days due to inadvertent release of production riser and HDCF punchlist scope.

TLP Storm Safe - Delayed 4 days due to high seas.
First Oil - July 28, 2001 - Delayed 4 days due to weather.
Temporary COI Issued - Delayed 7 days due to limited Commissioning resources. No impact to first oil.
TLP Sailaway from GMF - Delayed 1 day due to the Oceanworker (Drill Rig) demob from GC-158 delay. Diamond Offshore did not wish to pull riser in eddy current
and risk damaging the production riser and BOP. SDS and SEPCo analyzed data and clarified risks for Diamond thus they pulled riser.
Commencement of Installation - Delayed 1 day due to Oceanworker. Reduced Tendon Installation time by one day therefore no impact to first oil.
Oil Pipeline Ready for Start up - accelerated 3 days due to scope clarifications
Gas Pipeline Ready for Startup - Accelerated 4 days due to scope clarifications
First Oil - July 19, 2001
