Finishing the construction of a processing or production facility long before commissioning.

Finishing the construction of a processing or production facility long before commissioning.

Finishing the construction of a processing or production facility long before commissioning.

(OP)
Hello all,

This facility is for oil and gas production (upstream and midstream type facility). If the facility is finished and production was delayed or fluid/product is not flowing yet, for weeks or even a couple of months. Hydrotest water have been dried out, etc. Is it okay to leave the facility just empty until commissioning time or is there a recommended or safe practice like filling with inert gas or ...?

Thank you.

As much as possible, do it right the first time...

a nitrogen purge to ensure ALL water removal followed by N2 pressure, 5-psig, on systems to preserve. put a gauge on various systems to monitor. all too often simply removing hydrotest water and drying w/ air is not good enough.

You need to consult Shell DEP "PRESERVATION OF NEW AND OLD EQUIPMENT STANDING IDLE" DEP 70.10.70.11-Gen.
There are quite a few things in that document that are done in many oil and gas installations, worldwide.
