Abstract:

The present invention essentially comprises a vessel built to maintain accumulated pressure generally having a separator means for separating the elements from the production of a well. The vessel may be relatively mobile in nature, usable to a plurality of wells, and may further be constructed by converting existing equipment. In a preferred embodiment, a pressure tested vessel will hold all of the produced liquids from a well, passing the natural gas to a sales line as it is separated from the fluids, allowing water to sink to the bottom of the vessel for drainage into a water storage tank for proper disposal, allowing condensate to form for recovery with any produced oil. The condensate and oil are stored until the vessel is nearly full, and then sold in the same manner as crude oil.
