Patent ID: 11208874

Abstract:
A header with associated lubricator is for fluid handling at the wellhead of an oil and gas well where a plunger/lubricator lift system is deployed, and provides a novel compact lubricator with attached header which can replace a conventional wellhead flow-tee without modifying or moving other wellhead equipment to accommodate the new lubricator and header replacing the old flow-tee. A sub seal is provided at the header/lubricator attachment(s). The header with associated lubricator encloses a conduit with seals in the attachment interfaces between the header and lubricator or between the header and exit attachment means, where the conduit may also comprise a means of flow restriction through machined geometry or by retaining a reduced diameter or valve component through various means of attachment. The flow restrictor means may also be serviced via service access means provided in the header or lubricator exterior wall.
