Compressor stations play a critical role in the natural gas infrastructure by ensuring efficient transportation through pipelines from wellhead to burner tip. Optimizing their performance is crucial for reliability, cost-efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
In this paper, we cover the objectives of compressor station optimization, the factors that operators can consider, and recommendations. Central focus is on the impact of fuel gas quality, which is one of the most significant factors for achieving maximum operational, financial, and emissions performance.
