Abstract: A fluid monitoring apparatus for detecting which of a first fluid, a second fluid and a third fluid is present, the second fluid having a density less than the first fluid and the third fluid having a density less than the second fluid. The apparatus includes: a first float having a density less than that of the first fluid but greater than that of the second fluid; a second float having a density less than that of the second fluid but greater than that of the third fluid; and a sensor. The sensor is configured to detect the first float and the second float so that the position of the floats can be determined.

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.
