ABSTRACT:
A method for processing oil from oil wells having water bound locations whereby it is necessary to place the process containment vessels upon host structures that are floating and subjected to a swaying motion caused by the wave action of the water in which the host structures float. The process containment vessels are of a vertical cylindrical configuration to minimize their footprint and to mitigate the effect of tilting on the spatial process geometry inside of the vessels and further the vessels contain internal baffles that create horizontal flow patterns inside of the vertical vessel for a more efficient gravity separation process.
