Compressor
A compressor is a critical mechanical device used to increase the pressure of gases (mainly natural gas) so they can be transported, processed, or stored efficiently.
In the oil and gas value chain, compressors are widely used across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.

Compressor Overview
Key roles of compressors
Gas transportation
Boost gas pressure to move it through long-distance pipelines.
Gas processing
Enable separation, dehydration, and treatment of natural gas.
Production operations
Maintain reservoir pressure, support gas lift, and aid enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
Refining & petrochemicals
Supply compressed gas for reactions, hydrogen processing, and fuel systems.
