1. A slug catcher skid comprising:

  • a common gas inlet pipe header, a gas inlet pipe, integral inlet separator, a compressor inlet pipe, a compressor discharge pipe, a common gas discharge pipe header, and a common drain pipe header;

    wherein the common gas inlet pipe header is comprised of flanged connections;

    wherein the gas inlet pipe includes an inlet isolation valve;

    wherein the integral inlet separator is sized for gas flow requirements to an individual compressor and is further comprised of integral inlet separator drain pipe connecting to the integral inlet separator via a primary liquid drain connection, the integral inlet separator drain pipe connecting the integral inlet separator to the common drain pipe header;

    wherein the common gas discharge pipe header is comprised of flanged connections;

    wherein the common drain pipe header is comprised of flanged connections;

    whereby a fluid comprised of gas and condensate coming from a well enters the skid through the common gas inlet pipe header and then travels sequentially through the gas inlet pipe into the integral inlet separator whereby the gas is separated from the condensate, the gas then travels from the integral inlet separator to the compressor inlet pipe via the compressor inlet pipe entering the individual compressor via a skid-to-compressor connection and compressed gas is formed, the compressed gas then travels through the compressor discharge pipe to the common gas discharge pipe header and eventually exiting the skid, and whereby the condensate drains into the integral separator drain pipe into the common drain pipe header.
