Abstract: TransCanada PipeLines, Canadas largest gas transmission company, realized in the mid nineteen-seventies, that compressor fuel was accounting for the majority of its operating costs. One of the steps the company took to reduce fuel consumption was to form an Operations Analysis (OPAN) group to monitor compressor performance through the use of field tests and to recommend ways in which fuel could be saved. At the beginning of the nineteen-eighties, the Operations Analysis group has developed its experience and procedures to a degree where it is estimated that the system has significantly reduced fuel usage through close performance monitoring. This translates into a saving of millions of dollars per year for TransCanada.
