Abstract
A system and method is described to recycle and reuse the gas and NGLs from producing wells thereby increasing on site for oil recovery. The process uses a one-step approach to separate and stabilize the crude from water, NGLs and the natural gas produced during production thereby reducing the complexity associated with oil production surface infrastructure and eliminating a majority of the fugitive emissions.
