off the fluid flow from the subsea well into the environment in sequence block 110 hydrate formation in lower csp 34 is treated by injecting methanol see e g fig1 3 and 15 in sequence block 112 the open valves 66 a in vent system 64 are closed see e g fig1 3 and 16 in sequence block 114 a formation stability test is performed see e g fig1 3 and 17 fig5 is a schematic diagram of sequence block 90 according to one or more embodiments of subsea well safing system 10 which is described with further reference to fig1 and 3 in response to initiating safing sequence 86 one or more vent valves 66 a of vent system 64 are opened valves 66 a are opened to reduce the flow of fluid through the annulus 41 between tubular 38 and the csp 28 walls forming bore 40 through csp 28 see fig3 the dashed lines in lower csp 34 and lowering the backpressure on lower slips 60 the open and closed position of vent valves 66 a can be verified by a control signal from each valve position sensor 84 an accumulator 50 located in the assigned accumulator pod 62 can be activated to provide hydraulic power to the valve actuators 116 of controller 82 lower controller 82 continuously monitors the pressure at accumulator pod 62 and activates additional accumulators 50 as may be required to maintain working pressure.
