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

A christmas tree of an oil and gas well, the christmas tree having a production bore, comprising:

• a branch connected to the production bore and to a flowline and comprising a first internal passage to flow a fluid between the production bore and flowline;
• and
• a diverter assembly comprising a housing having a second internal passage, wherein the diverter assembly is coupled to the branch, and wherein the diverter assembly comprises a first flow path in a first direction through the branch to divert flow of the fluid, and a second flow path in a second direction through the branch to return flow of the fluid, the diverter assembly forming a passage from the first internal passage to the flowline without passing through the production bore.

A system, comprising:

• a manifold comprising a production bore communicating with a branch having a branch inlet and a branch outlet;
• and
• a diverter assembly disposed on the branch between the branch inlet and branch outlet, wherein the diverter assembly comprises a first path in a first direction to divert flow of a fluid from the branch inlet or from the branch outlet, and a second path in a second direction to return flow of the fluid to the other of the branch inlet or branch outlet, the diverter assembly forming a passage between the branch inlet and the branch outlet without passing through the production bore.
