WELLHEAD FLOWLINE PRESSURE PROTECTION USING HIPS

Used worldwide in thousands of wellhead applications the inherently safer design practice presented in this paper ensured that flowline pipe was specified with a maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) equal to or greater than the maximum pressure expected to be produced by the well.
