OKLAHOMA MIDSTREAM and DOWNSTREAM SECTORS

摘要

Oklahoma has a rich history in the midstream sector,and those opera-tions continue to support the state's economy today.The term "midstream" in the oil and gas industry refers to gas processing and pipeline transportation systems.Gas processing plants remove contaminants from natural gas and distill natural gas liquids from the gas stream so they can be used as feedstock for other processes.Pipelines move raw oil and gas to the processing plants and,further down the line,move refined products to commercial and residential consumers.
