The high demand for energy around the world has led to the migration of oil and gas fields from land to offshore. Yet in order to work, offshore oil and gas plants need compressors. In these offshore oil and gas facilities, compressors such as centrifugal and reciprocating compressors are used in drilling gas and extracting […]

Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) and the terms associated with it such as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) can be quite confusing, so here’s everything you need to know about them. While NGL, LPG, and LNG may be closely related since they refer to hydrocarbons and are an abbreviation for gases, their […]

Dual plate check valves vs swing check valves are two main types of check valves that are usually compared side by side, but what are the similarities and differences between the two, and how do you decide which is best for you? Either of these valves help to prevent a fluid reversal in a pumping […]

Within the oil and gas industry, there are many essential aspects that require proper compressor equipment. Here are the most common applications of compressors in this industry. The oil and gas industry through its refinement and distillation processes has helped in the production of: Gasoline Kerosene Jet fuel Diesel fuel Plastics A wide range of […]

Natural gas is used in many applications throughout the United States, but many people don’t understand the function and importance of a natural gas compressor station. When you turn on a natural gas furnace or fire up a gas oven, the fuel for these important household appliances don’t appear by magic. The gas which powers […]

The United State’s natural gas pipeline is at the same time complex and efficient, but it relies heavily on pipe fabrication and compressor stations for success. This process brings energy to millions of end users with its coast to coast network of compressor stations, pipelines, purification processes, and wellheads. Understanding how it works and the […]

Gas compressor stations play a vital role in the United State’s system of transporting our natural gas to consumers from well sites where the gas is extracted. Here’s how. Since pressure and gas flow are essential to the procedure of moving gas, these gas compressor stations help to keep the process efficient and safe. Geographical […]

The US relies on natural gas for industrial, commercial and residential use. Because of this, natural gas pipeline safety is of utmost importance.  Almost 45 miles of pipeline were replaced in Massachusetts after a series of explosions and more than 60 fires occurred in September, 2018. A teenager was killed, and approximately 25 people were […]

A natural gas compressor is a machine that acts to reduce the volume of natural gas by increasing the pressure of the gas. This is generally done for one of two reasons. To reduce natural gas volume and store larger quantities in tanks or bottles for storage or transport. To use the pressurization and attendant […]

  The world runs on natural gas every day. You use it whenever you use your furnace, gas stove, and many other gas powered appliances. All that gas has to come from somewhere, and it’s a more complex operation that you’d think. Here’s your guide to how a natural gas well is created, and how […]
