METHOD OF PREPARING NATURAL GAS FOR TRANSPORTATION Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC E21B43/34 

FIELD: gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to gas industry and is an improved method of field development during field preparation of gas condensate deposits. Method of natural gas preparation includes transportation of produced fluid via loops from gas well clusters to complex gas treatment units (CGTU), gas separation in inlet separators and plug catchers, compression at booster compressor station (BCS) in several stages and cooling at gas cooling units after each compression stages. Linear collector in the form of a cylindrical tank is installed on the trestle at the level of the inlet to the separator of the CGTU at the section between the pipeline leading from the gas cluster loops and the inlet to the first separation stage of the CGTU. Linear collector is connected for gas removal to the inlet of the CGTU separator by means of a pipeline, the section of which extends from the linear collector vertically upwards, and the separated liquid is removed from the linear collector via the pipeline to plug catchers and further utilization, the section of which leaves the linear collector vertically downwards.

EFFECT: reduction of metal consumption of the structure with increase in the useful volume of the separation tank, as well as simplification of the structure erection.
