Heat recovery from condensed steam in gas-oil separation plant to heat crude oil

Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed. Systems may include a crude oil feed, steam recovery system, and first heat exchanger. The crude oil feed may be configured to receive a flow of crude oil. The steam recovery system may be configured to receive a first flow of low-pressure steam and produce a first flow of condensed steam. The first heat exchanger may be disposed along the crude oil feed. The first heat exchanger may be configured to receive the flow of crude oil and the first flow of condensed steam and produce, using the first flow of condensed steam, a first flow of treated crude oil from the flow of crude oil.
