What is hook-up and commissioning (oil and gas industry)

Since the oil and gas industry goes from the well to the gas pump, it is not clear what area you are asking about. I do know that there is activity similar to this for connecting a well to production facilities and shipping facilities. In that case "hook up" refers to making the connections from the well to the oil and gas separator and from the separator to either the storage tanks or a flow line. It also includes connection the utilities needed for the controls to function. The "commissioning" refers to activating the system once it is hooked up. You check out the connections with pressure tests, the controls by putting them their paces and then you turn the well into the separator and verify that the separator and the controls are working as required.
