Lecture Objectives,
by the end of this lecture, YOU should be
able to:

- Explain the functions of the Oil & Gas

manifold
- Select them
- List all safety aspects
Oil Manifold description:
•The oil produced by the separator can be directed
through an oil manifold to the tank, production
flowline or burner.
•From the tank, the flow is piped to the oil
manifold by way of a transfer pump.
•It can direct flow to either the port or starboard
burner without stopping the well test because of
undesirable wind directions.
Oil Manifold description:
•The manifold has five 2-in (or 3-in or 4-in) ball or plug
valves.
•Usually connections are 3”602 (or 4”602) weco-union.
•WP=1440psi (weakest parts are the flange ASA 600).
Gas Manifold description:
•The gas manifold directs the gas produced from the separator to the
port or starboard flare port, a function of wind direction.
•The manifold usually has two 3-in (or 4-in) ball or plug valves.
•Usually connections are 3”602 (or 4”602) weco-union.
•WP=1440psi (weakest parts are the flange ASA 600).
Oil & Gas Manifolds Safety:
•All valves should be labeled to indicate flow paths to
avoid diverting the flow in the wrong direction.
•When diverting flow, always open one valve before
closing another.
•Use the correct handles provided with the manifolds to
open and close the valves (do not use cheaters).
