How do you take gas out of oil?

Answer 1

I will assume that your question is how do you separate natural gas from crude oil. Oil comes out of a flowing well at an elevated pressure and enters a separation tank to separate the water, oil and gas or just oil and gas. The tank may be horizontal or vertical. There must be sufficient retention time in the separator to allow for the separation. If the flow rate of liquid and gas into the separator is too high, oil droplets can be entrained along with gas flow. To prevent this, baffles are used that help the droplets coalesce and separate.
