Apparatus and method for recovering fluids from a well and/or injecting fluids into a well

A method of diverting fluids, comprising:

• connecting a diverter assembly to a branch of a manifold, wherein the branch extends to an export line and a choke body disposed on the branch and wherein the diverter assembly comprises a housing having an internal passage;
• and
• diverting the fluids through the housing wherein the diverter assembly provides two separate regions within the diverter assembly, and the method includes the step of passing fluids through one of the first and second regions and subsequently passing at least a portion of these fluids through the other of the first and the second regions.

A method of diverting fluids from a first well to a second well via at least one manifold, the method including the steps of:

• blocking a passage in the manifold between a bore of the manifold and a branch outlet of the manifold;
• and
• diverting at least some of the fluids from the first well to the second well via a path not including the branch outlet of the blocked passage.

A method of diverting fluids, comprising:

• connecting a diverter assembly to a branch of a manifold, wherein the branch extends to an export line and a choke body disposed on the branch and wherein the diverter assembly comprises a housing having an internal passage;
• and
• diverting the fluids through the housing wherein diverting comprises routing a fluid through the diverter assembly along a first path in a first direction, routing the fluid from the first path through a loop from the diverter assembly to a processing apparatus and back to the diverter assembly, and routing the fluid from the loop through the diverter assembly along a second path in a second direction, wherein the first and second paths are coaxial with one another, and the first and second directions are opposite to one another.

A method of diverting fluids, comprising:

• connecting a diverter assembly to a branch of a manifold, wherein the branch extends to an export line and a choke body disposed on the branch and wherein the diverter assembly comprises a housing having an internal passage;
• and
• diverting the fluids through the housing wherein diverting the fluids comprises flowing fluids to and from a processing loop in opposite directions through a central passage and an annular passage coaxial with the central passage.

A method of diverting hydrocarbon fluids through a tree on a well, comprising:

• diverting a fluid away from a fluid port of a branch extending from the tree, wherein the branch extends to an export line and a choke body disposed on the branch and wherein diverting comprises routing the fluid through a first path away from the fluid port, and routing the fluid back through a second path toward and through the fluid port.

A method of diverting fluids, comprising:

• diverting a fluid away from a fluid port of a branch of a mineral extraction component, wherein the branch extends to an export line and a choke body disposed on the branch and wherein diverting comprises routing the fluid through a first path away from the fluid port, and routing the fluid back through a second path toward and through the fluid port wherein diverting the fluid comprises flowing the fluid to a processing loop in a first direction along the first path, and returning the fluid from the processing loop in a second direction along the second path, wherein the first and second directions are opposite from one another.

A method of diverting fluids, comprising:

• diverting a fluid away from a fluid port of a branch of a mineral extraction component, wherein the branch extends to an export line and a choke body disposed on the branch and wherein diverting comprises routing the fluid through a first path away from the fluid port, routing the fluid back through a second path toward and through the fluid port and inserting a tubular portion of a diverter assembly into the branch of the mineral extraction component.
