Understanding Midstream Oil and Gas Pipelines
The oil industry is most commonly divided into three separate energy markets known as Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream. The first of these phases (upstream) involves the location and discovery of oil fields, while the final phase (downstream) serves a wide variety of high quality, fully finished and processed products to consumers all over the world.…

Natural gаѕ trаvеlѕ frоm the wеllhеаd to еnd consumers through a ѕеrіеѕ оf pipelines. Thеѕе natural gas pipelines -including flоwlіnеѕ, gаthеrіng lines, transmission lines, dіѕtrіbutіоn lіnеѕ, and ѕеrvісе lines – саrrу gаѕ аt vаrуіng rates of рrеѕѕurе. Thе higher the рrеѕѕurе оf gаѕ іn a ріреlіnе, thе mоrе роtеntіаllу dаngеrоuѕ аn ассіdеnt wіth thаt pipeline…
Read MoreUnderstanding Natural Gas Shale Deposits
What are natural gas shale deposits, and where do they come from? Conventionally, natural gas is found in pockets beneath layers of impermeable rock, either as associated gas (gas that shares the pocket with liquid oil) or non-associated gas (gas that is in the pocket on its own). Shale gas, on the other…
Read MoreWhat to Know About a Natural Gas Processing Plant
Natural gas is something that we all rely on in the modern world. It is a type of fossil fuel that is usually gathered from underground reservoirs by companies that use giant wells. But, what happens after it has been gathered? Before natural gas can be used in our own homes and workplaces, it has…
Read MoreHow Do You Gather and Harvest Natural Gas?
Natural gas is something that we are all familiar with in the modern world. Like coal and oil, it is a type of fossil fuel. These fossil fuels are formed from the remains of animals, microorganisms and plants that will all have lived millions of years ago. To know how to gather and harvest natural gas,…
Read MoreUnderstanding Natural Gas Processing
What is natural gas processing? You might be imagining that the natural gas that we gather out of the ground can be moved into pipelines to be used straight after collection, but in fact, the opposite is true. Natural gas processing is an important process that allows us to use clean, purified natural gas in…
Read MoreEquipment Used During Oil and Gas Production
Globally, the demand for oil is persistently on the rise. This demand has led to companies developing fuel sources all around the world, and even then it never seems like there is enough. As a result, many other companies (who previously did not deal in this sector) are also investing in the oil and gas…

With natural gas posing more problems than other hydrocarbon products, safety is the lynch-pin of all operations within the industry. It is only in recent years that natural gas has become a viable energy form due to advances. These advances have been made in overcoming the difficulties in transporting gas from the well…
