Why is compresser used in oil and gas plant?

Compressors are used for providing gas pressure required to transport gas with pipelines and to lift oil in gas-lift operations. The compressors used in today's natural gas production industry fall into two distinct types: reciprocating and rotary compressors. Reciprocating compressors are most commonly used in the natural gas industry.

How do natural gas compressor stations work?

The compressor station, also called a pumping station, is the "engine" that powers an interstate natural gas pipeline. As the name implies, the compressor station compresses the natural gas (increasing its pressure) thereby providing energy to move the gas through the pipeline. Pipeline companies install compressor stations along a pipeline route.

Can you compress natural gas?

Why Compress?Natural gas must be compressed for efficient processing, transportation, and storage.By decreasing the volume and increasing the pressure, pipelines can accommodate much higher gas flow rates.Decreasing well head pressure by 'sucking' on the well can increase production of both gas and oil.More items...
