A system and method to remove gas, water, and salt from crude oil via a GOSP train and discharging the crude oil from a desalter vessel of the GOSP train as unstabilized crude oil to a stabilizer distillation column, removing gas from the unstabilized crude oil via the stabilizer distillation column to reduce vapor pressure of the unstabilized crude oil to give stabilized crude oil, and diverting a bypass portion of the unstabilized crude oil discharged from the desalter vessel to the stabilized crude oil downstream of the stabilizer distillation column.
