  • Patent number: 6755255
    Abstract: The disclosed invention comprises an apparatus and method for producing hydrocarbons from an oil well where no production lines are in place, or where the backpressure of existing production lines is higher than the surface pressure of the oil well, preventing flow of the hydrocarbons into the production lines. The apparatus comprises a production assembly which may be mounted on either a flatbed trailer or on a liftable skid unit. The production assembly comprises a two-phase separator for separating liquid and gas phases. The production assembly further comprises a flexible flowline which is wrapped around a spooling drum. A first end of the flexible flowline receives the fluids from the two-phase separator. The second end of the flexible flowline is attached to a production facility or production line. The production assembly may further comprise pumping and compression means, liquid measurement means and gas measurement means.

  • Patent number: 6612037
    Abstract: A chainsaw guide bar includes a bar body and a nose member removably attached to the bar body by an elastic snap-in coupling, eliminating the need for separate fastening elements. The snap-in coupling includes dimples formed in tongues of the nose member, the dimples being received in holes formed in a web of the bar body. The dimpled portions of the tongues are elastically flexible in a thickness direction of the guide bar to enable the nose member to be inserted or removed.
