Wellhead Gas Separator System

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed that may include producing wellhead gas from a wellbore, removing hydrocarbons and/or other particulates from the wellhead gas produced from the wellbore to maximize and/or provide a consistent BTU level to the wellhead gas, and burning the wellhead gas in a wellhead gas burner to heat water and/or other chemicals used in hydrocarbon production and/or well completion processes, including, but not limited to hydraulic fracturing (fracking). The wellhead gas burner may also be configured as a primary heat source and integrated with a traditional gas burner system configured as a supplemental heat source. The wellhead gas burner and the traditional gas burner may also be operated simultaneously. The wellhead gas burner may also be mounted to a mobile superheater truck.

主权项

1. A wellhead gas system, comprising:
a separator connected in fluid communication with a wellhead gas source and configured to separate wellhead gas from hydrocarbons produced from the wellhead gas source; and a wellhead gas burner connected in fluid communication with the separator and configured to burn the separated wellhead gas received from the separator to heat a wellbore treatment fluid; wherein the wellhead gas burner comprises a plurality of fuel rail fingers connected in fluid communication with a first fuel rail, wherein each fuel rail finger comprises a plurality of combustion chambers for burning the separated wellhead gas, and wherein each of the plurality of combustion chambers comprises at least one orifice configured to allow the separated wellhead gas to exit an associated fuel rail finger into an associated combustion chamber.
