CHRISTMAS TREE ASSEMBLY WITH HIGH INTEGRITY PIPELINE PROTECTION SYSTEM
A mineral extraction system that includes a christmas tree. The christmas tree includes a valve that controls the flow of hydrocarbons through the christmas tree. A subsea control module couples to the christmas tree. The subsea control module controls the valve to control the flow of hydrocarbons through a conduit in the christmas tree. A high integrity pipeline protection system integrated with the subsea control module. The high integrity pipeline protection system includes a first pressure sensor that emits a first signal indicative of pressure in the conduit. A high integrity pipeline protection controller that receives the first signal indicative of the pressure and automatically controls operation of the valve in response to the pressure exceeding a threshold pressure.
