Abstract: An inlet device (17) for a separator (18) for separating a fluid mixture including gas and liquid. The inlet device (17) includes an inlet nozzle (1) for the fluid mixture, a distribution chamber (2) connected to the inlet nozzle for distributing the fluid mixture to one or more axial cyclones (3) constituting an integral part of the inlet device (17) and being connected to the distribution chamber (2). The axial cyclones (3) are provided with an outlet opening (9) for the gas rich fluid stream, a swirl inducing element (21), one or more openings (24) to allow the liquid-rich stream exiting the openings (24) of the axial cyclones (3) as well as liquid separating from a gas-rich stream exiting the outlet opening (9) to be drained to a level below the inlet device (17).

Abstract: The present invention comprises a process and apparatus for separation of hydrocarbons from hydrocarbon-containing produced water, wherein in stage 1 the hydrocarbon-containing produced water is supplied with a gas-containing component, whereupon a gas- and hydrocarbon-containing produced water mixture is fed to an inlet tube (22, 27) in the center of a tank, whereupon the said mixture is tangentially distributed via at least one nozzle (7) and at least one baffle plate (8.1), whereupon separated hydrocarbons are conveyed to at least one outlet from the tank and cleaned water is conveyed to an outlet (12) from the tank.

Abstract: A process for separation of oil from oil-containing produced water as well as an apparatus for separation of oil from oil-containing produced water. A perforated baffle plate is arranged in a separator tank to provide for equalizing of the downwardly flow rate of produced water. The insertion of such baffle plates has shown that less oil is following the stream downward.

Abstract: An inlet device (17) for a gravity separator (18) for separating a fluid mixture including gas and liquid. The inlet device (17) includes an inlet nozzle (1) for the fluid mixture, a distribution chamber (2) connected to the inlet nozzle for distributing the fluid mixture to one or more axial cyclones (3) constituting an integral part of the inlet device (17) and being connected to the distribution chamber (2). The axial cyclones (3) are provided with a bottom inlet opening, a top outlet opening (9) for the gas rich fluid stream, a swirl inducing element (21), one or more openings (24) to allow liquid to leave the axial cyclones (3), and to be drained to a level below the inlet device (17).

Abstract: A well testing device for conducting well test operations on an oil, gas, or water well including a production flowline. A conduit guides fluids from the production flowline to the well test device and then back to the flowline. The well test device may include, in various combinations, one or more of a flow measurement device, a sampling device, a sampling chamber to collect sampled fluids from the production flowline, a particle separator, a particle detector, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a controller or data storage module, a choke, and other components.

Abstract: A system for connecting flow interface equipment to a subsea manifold is disclosed. The system relates particularly to an apparatus adapted to inject fluids into a well having a flow bore. The system includes a connection apparatus adapted to land a conduit means on a subsea manifold and to connect a conduit means of the connection apparatus to a choke body of the manifold.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for diverting fluids either into or from a well are described. Some embodiments include a diverter conduit that is located in a bore of a tree. The invention relates especially but not exclusively to a diverter assembly connected to a wing branch of a tree. Some embodiments allow diversion of fluids out of a tree to a subsea processing apparatus followed by the return of at least some of these fluids to the tree for recovery. Alternative embodiments provide only one flowpath and do not include the return of any fluids to the tree. Some embodiments can be retro-fitted to existing trees, which can allow the performance of a new function without having to replacing the tree. Multiple diverter assembly embodiments are also described.
