Chevron's Blind Faith project consisted of a drill center tied back to a newly installed semi-submersible floating platform host facility located in Mississippi Canyon Block 650, with oil and gas export pipelines that connect to the host facility by means of steel catenary risers (SCRs). The drill center is located approximately seven (7) miles away from the host facility and is connected to the host facility with two (2) 7 5/8" production flowlines and one (1) control umbilical.

Production from the drill center is gathered in a manifold and transported back to the host facility through the above flowlines. The wells and manifold are controlled with the previously described control umbilical. Produced oil and gas are then exported through the export pipelines.

CTI personnel were integrated into Chevron's Blind Faith Project Team to provide significant project management and construction management support for the following functions:

• Assisted with the development of tender documents for the procurement of key project materials
• Provided project and construction management support for the following work scopes:
• Onshore

• Stalking of flowline and SCR pipe
• Pipeline End Manifold (PLEM) fabrication
• Manifold caisson support pile fabrication
• Offshore
• Flowline and manifold installation
• Umbilical, jumper and flying lead installation
• Pipeline End Manifold (PLEM) suction pile foundation installation
• Manifold caisson support pile installation
• SCR spool piece installation utilizing air diving
• Mooring line installation and tensioning for the SEMI
• Provided the onshore and offshore interface management assistance for all offshore installation activities, concurrent with on-going topsides hook-up and commissioning activities
