Abstract: The natural gas industry has utilized reciprocating, double acting compressor units since the very beginning of long distance transmission of natural gas. The vast majority of the compressors were of single stage design, until recently, and were utilized to overcome pipeline friction losses between mainline transmission stations or to compress gas from relatively high pressure well gathering systems up to transmission pressures. In more recent years, the declining reservoir pressures have continued to require higher and higher compression ratios to achieve mainline transmission pressures. The net result is that recent gathering area compressor unit additions have 2, 3, and even 4 stages of compression with the numbers of cylinders per stage also variable.
