Abstract
A method of processing a fluid produced from a well, the produced fluid being a high pressure fluid, the method comprising: reducing the pressure of the fluid to a reduced pressure such that a gas phase and a liquid phase are formed; separating the gas phase from the liquid phase thus forming a gas product and a liquid product; and storing the liquid product in a storage tank at a pressure such that the liquid product remains in a stable liquid phase during storage, wherein the reduced pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure.
