Gas Pipeline Infrastructure Industry Background

The pipeline infrastructure plays a substantial role in transmission, distribution, storage of hydrocarbons. Small gathering lines are laid from the well to the processing facilities, where the contaminants are removed for further transportation. In order to facilitate a secure gas transportation operation, the gas is compressed at desired pressure at neighbouring compressor stations. Further the pipeline infrastructure includes valves, metering skids and control stations.
