Abstract: A system (102; 302) for recovering natural gas liquid from a low pressure gas source (110; 310), comprising a gas/gas heat exchanger (104; 304), fluid from the gas source flowing therethrough; at least one separator (108; 308) for receiving the fluid from the gas/gas heat exchanger (104; 304) and separating liquid from the gas, the gas being directed via a connecting pipe (116; 316) to the gas/gas heat exchanger (104; 304) where it cools the fluid from the gas source; characterised in that the connecting pipe (116; 316) includes expansion means (106; 322) for cooling the gas therein and liquid injection means (120; 320) for saturating the gas with liquid.

Abstract: A separator system (5) comprising; a separation chamber (10) arranged to separate liquid from an inflow production fluid (45); at least one gas scrubber (15) for removing entrained liquid from a separated gas inflow from said separation chamber (10); wherein said at least one gas scrubber (15) is positioned above and proximate to said separation chamber (10), said gas scrubber (15) and separation chamber (10) connectable through a vertically oriented at least one liquid outflow conduit (20) arranged to direct the removed entrained liquid from the gas scrubber (15) to the separation chamber (10) wherein the conduit (20), is arranged such that an outflow end (22) of said conduit (20) extends into the separation chamber 10(10) such that it is lower than a minimum threshold liquid depth (65) in said separation chamber 10(10).

Abstract: A method for the production of stabilized crude oil, the method comprising the steps of: providing a stream of crude oil; injecting steam into said stream and so stripping C3? from said stream; providing a gas stream; extracting C4+ from the gas stream, and so; producing a stream from the extracted C4+; co-mingling the stripped stream with the C4+ stream, and so; producing a stream of stabilized crude oil.

Abstract: A separator vessel (5) comprising; a separation chamber (10) arranged to separate liquid from an inflow production fluid (45); at least one gas scrubber (15) for removing entrained liquid from a separated gas inflow from said separation chamber (10); wherein said at least one gas scrubber (15) is positioned above and proximate to said separation chamber (10), said gas scrubber (15) and separation chamber (10) connectable through a vertically oriented at least one liquid outflow conduit (20) arranged to direct the removed entrained liquid from the gas scrubber (15) to the separation chamber (10) wherein the conduit (20) is arranged such that an outflow end (22) of said conduit (20) extends into the separation chamber (10) such that it is lower than a minimum threshold liquid depth (65) in said separation chamber (10).
