Abstract
An onsite petrochemical storage and transport system comprising a land based facility, which provides storage at a well site for hydrocarbon reservoir products which include gas, oil and water at a high pressure. The pressurized mixture is transferred, by means of pressure equalization, into a truck with multiple pressure containing vessels and transported to a plant suitable for processing the raw hydrocarbon mixture. The well site facility and transport truck are configured to allow for separation of gas and liquids to selectively transfer the gas or liquids as desired. Remote well sites may be periodically serviced by transport trucks while maintaining continuous production.
Claims7
An onsite petrochemical storage and transport system, which includes an onsite gas and liquid storage facility comprising:
- an underground array of elongated storage tanks, wherein each of said storage tanks are sloped with one end lower than the other end for two-phase removal of a gas and a liquid;
- an underground pipeline extending between a conventional gas and liquid well to a first one of said storage tanks;
- an underground top gas header having gas pipes extending between top high ends of all said storage tanks to allow said gas to flow freely between said storage tanks under pressure;
- and
- an underground bottom liquid header having liquid pipes extending between bottom lower ends of all said storage tanks, to allow said liquid to flow freely between said storage tanks under pressure.
