How It Works

What Is a Surge Tank?

A surge tank is an atmospheric buffer vessel placed downstream of the separator to absorb short-term surges and fluctuations in liquid flow, giving the test system a stable volume to work with before fluid is transferred, gauged, or disposed of.

By smoothing out surges, the tank protects downstream pumps and gauge tanks from sudden level changes, reduces the risk of overflow, and allows crews to manage liquid handling safely even when well flow is unsteady.

Medit Oil Services stocks skid-mounted surge tanks sized to support well test operations across Libya's coastal and desert fields, available as a standalone rental or as part of a full surface test package.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

What is a surge tank used for in well testing?

A surge tank is an atmospheric buffer vessel placed downstream of the separator that absorbs short-term surges and fluctuations in liquid flow, giving crews a stable volume to work with before fluid is transferred or gauged.

Where does the surge tank sit in the test string?

It sits downstream of the separator, ahead of the gauge tank or transfer pump, acting as a buffer between separation and liquid handling/measurement.

Do you have surge tanks available for rental in Libya right now?

Yes. Our surge tanks are stocked in Tripoli, so there's no international freight or customs delay — equipment can typically mobilize the same day.

Can I rent the surge tank with an operating crew, or equipment only?

Both. You can rent the surge tank directly, or have our qualified crew operate it for you under a full-service well test contract.

What standards does your equipment meet?

Our equipment and operations follow API and ASME B31.3 standards, ISO 9001-aligned QA/QC processes, and HSE compliance on every job.

Do you also supply other well testing equipment in Libya?

Yes. Alongside surge tanks, we supply separators, gauge tanks, transfer pumps, and complete well test equipment packages, all stocked in Tripoli. View our full equipment range →
