Gas Gathering

Compressors are used in gas gathering applications for compressing natural gas produced from individual wells and other sources.  The gas is stored or gathered through a network of pipelines and travels through a central pipeline to a designated location. This example below shows a scheme where natural gas produced from individual wells is gathered and compressed. The natural gas may be gathered from several different sources, such as a gas well, an associated gas and casing head gas, produced from an individual oil well, or gathered from other production facilities.
