1. A system for selectively storing and selling a gas stream, the gas stream comprising of at least one of natural gas and natural gas liquids, the system comprising:

  • a sales transmission pipeline for transporting the gas stream from a plurality of sources to market;

    at least one producing field, the at least one producing field containing an extractable supply of the gas stream;

    a compressor, in fluid communication with both the at least producing field and the sales transmission pipeline;

    the compressor operable to compress the gas stream received;

    a variable volume flow splitter in fluid communication with the compressor, the variable volume flow splitter operable to selectively divide the gas stream into a first volume of the at least one natural gas and natural gas liquids and a second volume of the gas stream; and

    wherein the first volume of the gas stream is diverted into the sales transmission pipeline and the second volume of the gas stream is diverted into the at least one producing field.
