    Abstract: A system and method for the on-site separating and treating of a hydrocarbon liquid stream at an oil and gas production site is disclosed. The system comprises an oil and condensate distillation unit and a vapor recovery unit. In one embodiment, the oil and condensate distillation unit operates at low pressure or vacuum conditions to reduce the vapor pressure above the column of oil within a distillation column, thereby increasing the production of oil and condensate and capturing entrained natural gas otherwise lost or burned off. In another embodiment, oil from the distillation column can be measured by a flow meter and then transferred to one or more of an oil tank, a mobile tank, and an oil pipeline. Optionally, produced water at the production site can be run through the oil and condensate distillation unit to reduce the volume of produced water. The system further functions to improve the quality and volume of recovered natural gas and to decrease air pollution, in addition to increasing oil and condensate production at the well site.

    Abstract: Described herein are fuel modifiers for natural gas reciprocating engines, while recognizing the application of the inventions herein may be applied more broadly, to other natural gas-based engine systems. The fuel modifiers are primarily free-radical initiators, and the presence of this fuel modifier allows the engine operator to operate the engine under leaner conditions because, while employing the same ignition energy, more free-radicals are formed, thus overcoming the problems associated with dilution of the pool of free-radicals in the flame.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a process in which a gas comprising biomethane having a heating value of less than about 925 BTU/cubic foot is introduced to a pipeline system that is connected to at least one source of natural gas having a heating value of at least about 950 BTU/cubic foot. The gas comprising biomethane combines with natural gas in the pipeline system to produce a mixed gas having a heating value below about 925 BTU/cubic foot. An amount of natural gas at least equal to the amount of gas comprising biomethane is withdrawn from the pipeline system for use as a transportation fuel, a fuel intermediate or as a feedstock for producing a fuel. The process can enable fuel credit generation and/or reductions in life cycle greenhouse gas emissions.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a perfluorophosphate-based drag-reducing agent for gas pipelines. Raw materials for the perfluorophosphate-based drag-reducing agent for gas pipelines consist of fatty acid(s), pyridine(s), fluorophosphates(s) and haloalkane(s) in a mass ratio of 2:1:1:1 to 2:3:1:2. A method for preparing the perfluorophosphate-based drag-reducing agent for gas pipelines is also provided. The perfluorophosphate-based drag-reducing agent for gas pipelines is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, has a high drag reduction percentage, a long-lasting effect, good stability and solubility, does not affect the inner surface and coatings of natural gas pipelines or gas quality, and is suitable for on-line atomization and injection.
