Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a separation system having a first inlet line through which a multiphase fluid is directed; a first separator connected to the first inlet line, the first separator being configured to separate the fluid into a heavy fraction primarily comprising solids and a light fraction primarily comprising gas, oil and water, the first separator comprising a heavy fraction outlet for discharge of the heavy fraction and a light fraction outlet for discharge of the light fraction; a heavy fraction outlet line connected to the heavy fraction outlet; a light fraction outlet line connected to the light fraction outlet; a second inlet line connected to the light fraction outlet line; a second separator connected to the second inlet line, the second separator being configured to separate the light fraction into separate gas, oil and water fractions, and the second separator comprising a gas outlet for discharge of the gas fraction, an oil outlet for discharge of the oil fraction, and a wate

Abstract: A system for separating a multiphase well stream into a solids fraction, a water fraction, an oil fraction and a gas fraction includes a transportable support surface; a solids separator which is mounted on the support surface and is configured to receive the multiphase well stream and separate the well stream into a first heavy fraction primarily comprising the solids fraction and a first light fraction primarily comprising the gas, oil and water fractions; and a multiphase fluid separator which is mounted on the support surface and includes a first separator section and a second separator section which is positioned vertically below and connected directly to the first separator section. The first separator section is configured to receive the first light fraction and separate the first light fraction into a second light fraction primarily comprising the gas fraction and a second heavy fraction primarily comprising the oil and water fractions.
