  • Publication number: 20250277434
    Abstract: Hydrocarbon gas capture from a well stream can involve recovering light hydrocarbon gases from liquids and solids via a multiphase separator that is upstream of a sand removal system. Pressure is controlled in the multiphase separator to facilitate hydrocarbon gas capture. The light hydrocarbon gases can be recovered for sale or can be used on-site.

  • Publication number: 20250230719
    Abstract: One or two continuous recirculation loops are utilized for the well-site equipment that separates produced fluids into sand, liquid, and gas during drill out and flow back that occurs after fracturing a subterranean formation. When one recirculation loop is utilized, the recirculation loop continuously recirculates fluid between the recirculation chamber of the disclosed sand removal apparatus and a shaker device. When two recirculation loops are utilized, the first recirculation loop continuously recirculates fluid between a recirculation chamber of the disclosed sand removal apparatus and a shaker device, and the second recirculation loop continuously recirculates fluid between the recirculation chamber and a gas separator.
