Abstract: A vortex control apparatus is disclosed which has a unit body extending longitudinally along a central axis. The unit body has a plurality of primary fins extending radially from its central axis. The unit body also has a plurality of secondary fins extending radially from its central axis. Each of the plurality of primary fins can be spaced apart and be positioned disposed between two primary fins. The vortex control apparatus can also include a flange coupled to the unit body that extending radially from the central axis of the unit body. The flange can also extend radially from the central axis of the unit body farther than primary fins or the secondary fins.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and managing wellhead production and costs associated therewith. Electronic equipment is placed at the well head to monitor the volume of product lifted from at a wellhead. The equipment monitors both the volume and the percentage of products lifted and stored at the well head. The status of the separation and the volume can be monitored in real time or on a delayed time basis. The data is displayed on a map and used to identify efficient routes for gathering the lifted product at an appropriate time. The data may be displayed in a user interface which displays desired data in connection with each well head in a represented geographic region.
