  • Patent number: 11136874
    Abstract: Apparatus for separating solid particles from a hydrocarbon-containing fluid produced from an oil and/or gas production facility, supported on a wellhead or a riser connected to a wellhead, the apparatus comprising: a conduit for conveying a hydrocarbon-containing fluid from a wellhead or a riser connected to the wellhead; a solids separator in fluid communication with the conduit adapted to separate solid particles from the hydrocarbon-containing fluid, a solids outlet for outputting solid particles separated by the solids separator, a fluid outlet for outputting hydrocarbon-containing fluid separated by the solids separator; and an output conduit, coupled to the fluid outlet, for conveying the hydrocarbon-containing fluid from the fluid outlet into a production line attached to the wellhead.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 18, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 5, 2021
    Assignee: FourPhase AS
    Inventors: Anders Arefjord, Jorgen Bruntveit
  • Patent number: 10994312
    Abstract: An apparatus for washing solid particles removed from a hydrocarbon-containing fluid produced from an oil and gas production facility using a company automated unit. The apparatus comprises an inlet that carries a mixture of solids particles and water flushed from a de-sander.

  • Patent number: 10883353
    Abstract: An apparatus for, and a method of, separating oil, water, gas and solid particles (usually sand) from a hydrocarbon-containing fluid produced from an oil and/or gas production facility. In particular, this invention relates to an apparatus and method for the separation of oil, water, gas and solid particles from a well or group of wells using an integrated apparatus which significantly reduces the space required on the production platform or rig and recycles produced gas to improve process efficiency while reducing cost.
