The economy of subsea production systems must be improved to maintain the viability of future projects. However any cost saving solutions must recognize strict safety requirements. Further, reducing the rated working pressure of a pipeline below the maximum working pressure of the well, presents an interesting dichotomy between safety and production downtime. This paper reports various methods to down rate equipment protected by HIPPS, with respect to the above issues. In addition to discussion and analysis, some HIPPS design options to be qualified in an ongoing qualification project are presented. The qualification testing is scheduled to be finalized by the end of 1997.
