Abstract:
A device for co-mingling fluids from separate sources, comprising:a jet pump having a high pressure inlet for receiving a high pressure fluid, a low pressure inlet for receiving a fluid from a first source of fluid, followed by a diverging section and a main outlet for discharging a mixture of fluids received from the high pressure inlet and the low pressure inlet; anda phase separator having an inlet for receiving a fluid from a second source of fluid, a liquid-rich outlet connected to the high pressure inlet of the jet pump for supplying liquid-rich material to the jet pump, and a gas-rich outlet connected downstream of the main outlet of the jet pump, so that fluids from the gas-rich outlet of the separator are mixed with fluids discharged by the jet pump.
