Doc, Almost all oil and gas wells make some saltwater, some more than others. That is why there are separation facilities at the wellsite. Typically the salt water is collected in a holding tank and then trucked to an injection well. The oil or condensate is also collected in holding tanks and hauled away by truck if there is not a pipeline nearby. The gas has to go in a pipeline. Occasionally you will see production from the well separated and metered at the wellsite and then put back in a pipeline going to a facility that can properly deal with it.
