A method to reduce slugging in a pipeline, including flowing a fluid flow through a pipeline having a fluid flow path extending therethrough and determining a presence of a slug within the fluid flow path of the pipeline. Launching a chokeable pig into the fluid flow path, anchoring the chokeable pig at a predetermined location within the fluid flow path, and adjusting the pressure drop through the pipeline.

Stabilization of flow by moveable choke

Small footprint, portable skid mounted wellhead desander systems are disclosed. In one version, two systems are mounted on the skid, one system being a single well system for testing various properties of well fluids, and the other being a combined bulk system for desanding comingled flow from a plurality of wells. In another version, the skid mounted system has three independent desanders together with all essential equipment, including e.g., plug catcher, hydrocyclone desander, solids accumulator, choke manifold, and all necessary sensors, valving and control equipment.

Skid mounted wellhead desanders and flowback systems

Methods and apparatus relate to removal of mercury from crude oil. Such removal relies on transferring mercury from a liquid hydrocarbon stream to a natural gas stream upon contacting the liquid hydrocarbon stream with the natural gas stream. Processing of the natural gas stream after used to strip the mercury from the liquid hydrocarbon stream removes the mercury from the natural gas stream.
