Gun Barrels
Gun barrels give produced fluid the retention time it needs to break out water before oil moves to sales storage. Smith Industries fabricates them alongside our tank line, using the same rolling, welding and coating processes.
Overview
About our gun barrels
A gun barrel is built as a tank with internal flume, spreader and siphon arrangements sized to the fluid stream it will handle.
Internals are fabricated and fitted in the shop so the unit arrives ready to tie in rather than requiring field assembly.
