Oil And Gas Compressor Station FAQ

How does a gas compressor station work?

The action of the compressor station is actually what moves the gas. As the station compresses the gas, it pushes it into a small space. This gives it a very high pressure as it leaves the station, and the gas moves by expanding through the pipe and relieving the pressure.

What is a natural gas compressor station?

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.
