Precision and Reliability in Gas Compression Operations
Gas compression is a vital process in the midstream oil and gas segment, enabling the efficient transport of natural gas through pipelines by increasing gas pipeline pressure. Whether boosting pressure at compressor stations or managing flow across long distances, operators rely on robust systems that can perform under extreme conditions.
We understand the complexity of gas compression and the importance of maintaining system integrity, safety, and uptime. Our solutions are engineered to meet the demands of high-pressure environments, corrosive gases, and remote installations. From fittings and valves with the proper ratings to custom assemblies and field support, we deliver the tools and expertise needed to keep your compression systems running smoothly.
Midstream Gas Compression Key Applications
Efficient gas compression is essential for keeping midstream operations running smoothly, safely, and profitably. Operators face daily challenges—from maintaining optimal pipeline pressure and meeting regulatory standards to minimizing leaks and ensuring reliable performance across diverse facilities. Below are some of the most critical midstream gas compression applications that Swagelok can help with:
-
Pipeline Compressor Stations
that boost gas pipeline pressure to maintain flow over long distances. Our leak-tight fittings, valves, and assemblies are engineered for high-pressure reliability, helping minimize leaks and costly downtime while ensuring safe, efficient operation. -
Gas Gathering Systems
that collect natural gas from multiple wells and compress it for transport to processing plants or transmission pipelines. Our corrosion-resistant components and custom assemblies support safe, efficient collection and compression, improving system integrity and helping operators meet regulatory standards. -
Storage Terminal Compression Systems
that move natural gas in and out of storage facilities, maintaining optimal pressure for injection and withdrawal. Our precision-engineered products and comprehensive documentation help maintain optimal pressure and simplify compliance. -
Metering and Regulation Stations
that measure gas flow and pressure, and adjust before entering transmission or distribution pipelines. Our solutions ensure accurate measurement and control, supporting operational safety and regulatory compliance with installation oversight and training for your team. -
Booster Compression
for LNG Facilities that increase gas pressure for liquefaction or regasification processes. We deliver robust solutions for high-pressure conditions, helping you optimize processes and minimize risk with assemblies and purge systems built for demanding environments. -
Gas Lift Compression Systems
that compress and inject gas into oil wells to enhance production rates. Our field engineers enhance reliability, boosting production rates and reducing maintenance interventions in challenging oilfield conditions. -
Industrial Gas Distribution
that supplies natural gas for fuel or feedstock. Our hands-on training helps maintain safe, efficient gas distribution, supporting uptime and rapid troubleshooting in complex industrial environments.
