Abstract: Inlet and outlet connections of a well manifold connect to integrated piping of a unitary vessel on a skid. The unitary vessel defines an interior separated into two chambers by a barrier. One chamber has a test inlet for well testing operation, and the other chamber has a production inlet for production operation. Each of the chambers is in communication with a gas outlet for gas, a water outlet for water, and a condensate outlet for condensate. Each of the chambers has a weir plate disposed in the chamber and separating the water outlet on a waterside of the weir plate from the condensate outlet on a condensate-side of the weir plate adjacent the barrier. During use, the second chamber can be isolated so well testing operation can be performed using the first chamber.
