  • Patent number: 12698699
    Abstract: A system for conditioning live crude oil to produce stabilized oil that can be stored in a conventional oil storage tank and hydrocarbon gas includes a stabilizer tower and a heater treater. The stabilizer tower receives oil from separators at the wellhead production facility and outputs oil to the heater treater. The heater treater outputs gas back into the stabilizer tower and, optionally, recycles a portion of oil output back into the heater treater, which enhances oil output.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20260001712
    Abstract: A vapor and liquid recovery tower (VLRT) includes a top section adapted to receive a liquid stream with entrained gas that gravity flows down through the VLRT, and a packing section comprising packing material adapted to release the entrained gas from the liquid stream to produce a VLRT liquid output and a VLRT gas output. The VLRT may further include a lower section adapted to receive a gas stream that rises up through the packing section, wherein the packing material is further adapted to increase surface area contact between the liquid stream and the gas stream, and wherein the VLRT gas output includes the entrained gas and the gas stream.
