Abstract: A sand separation device for use with wellhead flow, the sand separation device comprising: a housing having a cylinder cone body configured for receiving a fluid mixture including oil, water, gas, and sand; a cyclonic insert arranged within the cylinder cone body; and a tangential inlet configured to redistribute the flow of the fluid mixture and allow for substantially laminar flow of the fluid mixture as it enters the housing and begins separation.

Abstract: An emission control system, comprising a plurality of vessels, each vessel an adsorbent arranged in the vessel; a valve system for selectively routing a feed stream to a selected vessel of the plurality of vessels thereby establishing an online vessel and one or more offline vessels; and a control unit configured for monitoring breakthrough of the online vessel and for controlling the valve system to route the emission an offline vessel upon breakthrough being determined in the online vessel, the routing establishing a new online vessel.

Abstract: An instrumentation system includes a detection apparatus and a data logging apparatus that detect and record various inflow parameters and outflow parameters of the well during the completion phase or other operational phase of the well. The detection apparatus includes instrumentation that is applied to both the inflow into the well and the outflow out of the well and that detects the inflow and outflow parameters. The data logging apparatus captures the output from such instrumentation and records it for analysis. Such analysis can be performed in real time, i.e., as the data is being recorded, and/or can be retrieved at a later time for analysis and for optimization of future wells. A method involves applying the instrumentation system to a well.
