U.S. Poised To Become LNG Exporter

摘要

Gas shale plays and associated gas from tight oil formations have led to a U.S. supply bounty. In addition to upstream activity, the industry has directed a massive capital investment toward building new midstream facilities, and constructing hundreds of miles of pipeline infrastructure to bring new supplies to market, and an almost endless number of midstream and transportation projects are planned for the near future. All along the way-from the pad well site and in-field gathering system, to the processing plant and pipeline delivery point-gas compression drives the flow of gas throughout the domestic market. With the United States seeking to become a substantial global exporter of liquefied natural gas, the role of gas compression in the supply chain is only becoming more critical.
