Flowback operation is conduced to handle amount of flowback fluid, consisting of gas, liquid, water and solids, coming after hydraulic fracturing. Flowback and clean-up operations are necessary to prevent proppant damage in the formation and maintaining the integrity of the performance of well(s).

For flowback & clean-up operation, special set of flowback equipment is used. Typical flowback equipment is summarized below: 

· Choke Manifold

· Sand Trap

· 2-phase separator

· 3-phase separator

· 4-phase separator

· Emergency Shutdown Valve

· Hydraulic Control & Automation System

· Flare stack

· Storage tanks

· HP & LP piping & fittings
