1. A dual header oil and gas industry hydrocarbon production manifold comprising:
a plurality of three-way directional valves with three fluid ports adapted to separate fluid flow between a well side of manifold and a pipeline side of the manifold;
a first header with a first header body and a first header flow path and a first pipeline side coupling;
a second header with a second header body and a second header flow path and a second pipeline side coupling;
at least two elbow pipes, each providing a flow path between one of the first header and the second header, and a port on one of the plurality of three-way valves;
at least one T-pipe, providing a flow path between one of the first header and the second header, and a port on two of the plurality of three-way valves; and,
a well side coupling on each of the plurality of three-way valves.
