For test separator ESD logic on an offshore platform where the test separator is supplied directly from wells via a dedicated Test Manifold:

1. Should a high pressure in the test sep isolate the tested well in addition to isolating the inlet ESDV.

2. If yes to q 1, how can this be done given that only one well at a time will flow to the test separator and it is undesirable to simply shutdown all producing wells for a test separator upset.

Thanks.

Dear ChemEngSquirrel,

-a high pressure in the test sep shouldn't isolate the tested well
unless the well is protected by HIPPS "high-integrity pressure
protection system".
-for a high pressure signal activated on test separator, the PCV
should open gradually till reaches wide open then, the PSV should
opens.

I wish i May helped you!! :)
