Newby # 6-1 oil has had problems with separation. We tried raising and lowering the back pressure, and have tried a number of experiments that have not had appreciable impact, so today we shut the well in and bled off the system in order to install another 1440psi two-phase separator in-line. What we are trying to do is have the wellstream under longer retention time so that the heavier components fall out, allowing our oil to be cleaner and with less BS&W.
