井流分離

處理井流的第一步是將原油，天然氣和水相分離成單獨的流。石油和天然氣場采用兩相氣/油和氣體/冷凝水和三相氣/油/水分離器。根據水平或垂直配置，操作壓力，湍流或層流以及測試或生產分離，單位分類。

挑戰

接口電平測量將開動一個閥門to adjust vessel level. An emulsion layer along the oil/water interface can contaminate the oil with water or the water with oil. Foaming along the gas/liquid interface, if entrained, can cause liquid carryover or gas blow-by.
