16. A system for stabilizing a hydrocarbon feedstock and separating the hydrocarbon feedstock into a gas product, a water product, and a stabilized oil product, the system comprising only two separation units including:
a High Pressure Separation (HPS) unit in fluid communication with a hydrocarbon feedstock inlet, wherein the HPS unit includes an un-stabilized oil outlet; and
a Heated Low Pressure (LP) Separator unit downstream from and in fluid communication with the un-stabilized oil outlet of the HPS unit, wherein the Heated LP Separator unit includes a stabilized oil outlet wherein the oil outlet of the Heated LP separator unit is configured to discharge stabilized oil having a Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) of less than 10 psi.
