1.0 Introduction
The program charter documents along with tracks the required information by the
decision maker to approve for the program funding. This charter is included of program needs,
scope, details of the program budget and duration and the program sponsor proceeds with the
program. Into this program charter, it is main role of program manager to determine and create of
initiation phase of the project. This charter provides with a brief description of the program so
that the reader can understand the purpose of Airborne oil and gas program. Budget estimation
and schedule plan helps to determine entire project cost so that the program management plan
should finish on planned timeframe and there are no delays in program.
2.0 Program overview
The program is based on Airborne oil and gas which is commenced of qualification
program of the thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) for deepwater as well as dynamic
applications. This specific program provided rise behavior as well as installation analysis. It is
aimed to provide with pipe technology for the international deepwater applications. The main
purpose of this program is to design and install of technology to provide with complete solutions
to the program clients. TCP is a cost effective materials for the application, cost effective for the
transport which are installed with the light vessels and permits quicker termination into the field.
TCP is lead to compel with the business causes for the application, and reduction of cost
installed. The lightweight of TCP flow line is being supplied into longer lengths and spooled on
the transport drums.

3.0 Justification of business need
The Oilfield technology company Airborne oil and gas has started of its qualification
program of thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) Riser for the purpose of deepwater applications
into South America. This particular program was being started into collaboration with Subsea 7.
As per the Airborne oil and gas, with knowledge of the materials, the company can able to work
with the supply chain to develop of materials combination for each application. The main
objective of this qualification program is to offer new disruptive riser pipe technology to offshore
workers occupied into the international deepwater applications. The rise design of TCP is offered
of total installation at lower cost as compared to the existing solutions. Within this program,
Subsea 7 is being engaged into conducting of TCP riser analysis of both behavior as well as
installation.
4.0 Program Scope
The scope of this Airborne oil and gas program is include with delivering the 550 meters
TCP flow line, offshore installation, engineering along with field support. TCP flow line is being
installed in 30 meters of the water depth which are connected two of the platforms that are
located offshore of Malaysia. The scope of this program is also included of testing of materials,
prototype testing, offshore installation testing. There is proper development in addition to testing
of the integrated optical fiber conditions monitoring along with up scaling of the pipe
technology.

7.0 Assumptions, constraints and risks
Assumptions:
1. It is assumed that the program manager can successfully complete entire plan on time as
per scheduled time frame.
2. It is assumed that there are no over budget of the cost, as proper planning is done.

8PROGRAM CHARTER
3. There are accurate hire of program team members those are expertise into advanced
technology implementation.
4. The program deliverables are delivered on time as per client’s requirements.
5. There are proper update of installation and testing of the qualification programme as per
scheduled time.
Constraints:
Scope: It is occurred when the project is not on track and not meetings with the project
requirements, then required project deliverables are not delivered on time.
Resource: It is occurred when the hired resources are not able to work into the program
as they have lack of knowledge and expertise to work into the project, therefore there is required
to hire more people as per technical expertise and program requirements.
Schedule: It is occurred when there is addition of extra resources into the project, which
causes more activities to be added into the final project plan. Proper scheduling is required in this
case.
Risks:
Lack of support from the executive team: There is lack of support from the top level
management to motivate the team members to participate into the qualification program.
Budget risk: There are additional resources are added into the program so that the
estimated budget becomes over budgeted.

9PROGRAM CHARTER
Schedule risk: The schedule of the project is delayed when any of the project resources
have taken leave suddenly from the program. Huge delay into the program plan causes
unsuccessful installation of pipe technology.
Communication issue: All the project stakeholders are not communicated with each
other properly, therefore there are high communicational gap among the project team members.
Technology issue: There is lack of design blueprint of entire work, and there is improper
maintenance of the pipe technology.
