## Description

This MCP server provides a suite of analytical tools to manage flow assurance risks in pipeline systems. It allows AI agents to evaluate the likelihood of gas hydrate formation using `get_hydrate_risk`, assess paraffin buildup with `get_wax_deposition_profile`, and monitor asphaltene stability via `get_asphaltene_stability`. Additionally, users can calculate available shutdown time with `get_operational_window` and receive specific chemical or mechanical recommendations through `get_mitigation_requirements` to ensure operational continuity.

## Tools

### get_asphaltene_stability
Evaluates the stability of asphaltenes within the fluid

### get_hydrate_risk
Determines the likelihood of gas hydrate formation under current conditions

### get_mitigation_requirements
Recommends chemical or mechanical actions to prevent identified risks

### get_operational_window
Calculates the time available before critical risks manifest during a shutdown

### get_wax_deposition_profile
Assesses the risk of paraffin/wax buildup on the pipe walls

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the hydrate formation risk for a pipeline at 200 bar and 5 degrees Celsius with a seabed temperature of 4 degrees?
```

**Response:** 
```
The hydrate formation risk is high, with a dissociation temperature of 12.5 degrees Celsius and a safety margin of 7.5 degrees.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much time do I have before the fluid reaches the wax appearance temperature during a shutdown?
```

**Response:** 
```
The available cooldown time is 14.2 hours before the critical temperature threshold is reached.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What mitigation is needed for high wax risk?
```

**Response:** 
```
For high wax risk, the recommended actions include pigging operations and thermal heating.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How can I check for hydrate formation risks?**
You can use the `get_hydrate_risk` tool by providing the fluid composition, operating pressure, operating temperature, and seabed temperature.

**What is the purpose of the operational window tool?**
The `get_operational_window` tool calculates the cooldown time available before the fluid temperature reaches a critical threshold, such as the hydrate formation temperature.

**Can this tool recommend mitigation strategies?**
Yes, by using `get_mitigation_requirements`, the tool provides chemical or mechanical recommendations based on the identified risk levels for hydrates, wax, and asphaltenes.
