Significant gains in production can be realized by reducing crude oil and natural gas processing costs. One area of the production process where significant economic gains can be realized is in the incorporation of enhanced processing technology into the surface production equipment used to process crude oil and natural gas to pipeline standards. One such product specifically developed to minimize the amount of energy required to process a barrel of oil to pipeline standards will now be discussed. It was recently recognized by the Department of Energy through issuance of a Special Recognition Award under their National Awards Program for Energy Innovation.
