Abstract

See full text

A system and method for the on-site separating and treating of a hydrocarbon liquid stream at an oil and gas production site is disclosed. The system comprises an oil and condensate distillation unit and a vapor recovery unit. In one embodiment, the oil and condensate distillation unit operates at low pressure or vacuum conditions to reduce the vapor pressure above the column of oil within the tubing, thereby increasing the production of oil and condensate and capturing entrained natural gas otherwise lost or burned off. The system further functions to improve the quality and volume of recovered natural gas and to decrease air pollution, in addition to increasing oil and condensate production at the well site.
