    摘要: The system and method for processing flowback fluid include a plurality of wellheads producing flowback fluid flows, a plurality of first stage separators corresponding to at least one wellhead of an installation with multiple wellheads and multiple flowback fluid flows, a plurality of metering devices corresponding to each first stage separator, and a second stage separator in fluid connection with the metering devices and the first stage separators. The second stage separator includes a solids separator to further control the storage volumes of the first and second stage separators and retention time in the second stage separator by removing solids.

    摘要: The system and method for processing flowback fluid include a plurality of wellheads producing flowback fluid flows, a plurality of first stage separators corresponding to at least one wellhead of an installation with multiple wellheads and multiple flowback fluid flows, a plurality of metering devices corresponding to each first stage separator, and a second stage separator in fluid connection with the metering devices and the first stage separators. Flowback fluid flows pass from the wellhead to the first stage separators for initial separation of a gas phase, through the metering devices for determination of production levels for each wellhead, and into the second stage separator for an additional gas phase separation. The storage volumes of the first and second stage separators control the retention time in the second stage separator for safe and efficient operation.
