The oil and gas industry uses compressors to provide the gas pressure needed to move gas through pipelines and lift oil in gas-lift operations. The compressors used in today’s natural gas production industry fall into two distinct categories: reciprocating and rotary compressors.
These compressors are mainly used for petroleum refining, pipeline transportation and gas re-injection petrochemical synthesis.
- Some compressors use variable frequency drives to conserve energy.
- While energy efficiency is the key buzzword, other factors such as safety, reliability, sustainability, close adaptation of the solution as well as after-sales support are considered key for end users.
