Methods and systems for hydrocarbon production

A method of hydrocarbon production from a well, comprising:

• a first analyzing step of analyzing, using a first analyzer module, phases of hydrocarbon oil, gas and water in a mixture at flowing conditions as the mixture is extracted from the well;
• separating, using a separator module, the mixture into an oil portion, a water portion and a gas portion, each respective portion contains substantially only oil, water or gas, respectively;
• a second analyzing step of analyzing the separated oil portion using a second analyzer module and determining if the separated oil portion meets a predetermined hydrocarbon oil standard, and treating any hydrocarbon oil portion that does not meet the predetermined oil standard to meet the predetermined oil standard;
• transferring the hydrocarbon oil portion meeting the predetermined hydrocarbon oil standard to a predetermined hydrocarbon oil destination;
• a third analyzing step of analyzing the separated water portion, using a third analyzer module, to determine if the water portion meets a predetermined water standard and treating any separated water portion that does not meet the predetermined water standard to meet the predetermined water standard;
• and
• transferring the water portion meeting the predetermined water standard to a water destination,
• wherein each of the first, second, and third analyzing steps occur simultaneously.

A modular system for hydrocarbon production optimization, comprising:

• a multiphase analyzer module for analyzing phases of hydrocarbon oil, gas and water of a mixture at flowing conditions as the mixture is extracted from a well;
• a separator module for substantially separating the mixture into hydrocarbon oil, water and gas portions, the respective portions containing substantially only hydrocarbon oil, water or gas, respectively;
• a hydrocarbon analyzer module for analyzing the separated hydrocarbon oil portion and determining if the hydrocarbon oil portion meets a predetermined oil standard;
• an oil treatment module for treating any separated hydrocarbon oil portion not meeting the predetermined oil standard to meet the predetermined oil standard;
• a water quality analyzer module for analyzing the water portion to determine if the water portion meets a predetermined water standard;
• and
• a water treatment module for treating any water portion not meeting the predetermined water standard to meet the predetermined water standard,
• a flow heating module for heating, when needed, the mixture to increase a temperature of the mixture to improve separation efficiency in the separator module, and
• a chemical injection module for injecting one or more chemicals into the mixture to modify mixture flow qualities in order to maximize separation efficiency of the separator module.
