Operability is intrinsic to the Flow Assurance/System Design process. INTECSEA has made significant contributions in the assessment of system operability issues and in developing operating philosophies/strategies to avoid the formation of hydrate or wax at any time during system operation. These capabilities have been developed on long-offset, deepwater, subsea development projects for several clients.
"Operability" is the set of design provisions and operating strategies that ensure the production system can be started, operated, and shut down under all conditions (planned and unplanned) throughout the operating life of the total system. In accomplishing the system design, system operability is inseparably connected to the rest of the system. Operability is, of course, especially connected to the system thermal-hydraulic design.
