• If YES, can you depressurize in late-life at high water cuts?<br />

• If YES, can you maintain pressure below hydrate formation conditions<br />

during restart?<br />

• Difficult for deepwater<br />

• If YES, is there a pour point concern?<br />

• Depressurization increases restart pressure requirements<br />

• If NO, consider the following for hydrate prevention:<br />
