As Pressurized Liquids are transferred into Storage Tanks, the pressure of the fluids decreases and vapors, which include volatile organic compounds (“VOCs”), are released or “flashed” into a gaseous state.Such vapors are known as “flash gas.” Additional vapors are released from the Produced Oil and Produced Water due to temperature fluctuations and liquid level changes.
Produced Oil and Produced Water are separated from natural gas near the well-head in a device known as a “Separator” or “Heater-Treater.” After separation in the Separator or Heater-Treater, the Produced Oil and Produced Water, also known as “Pressurized Liquids,” are emptied into Storage Tanks kept at or near atmospheric pressure.
