Compression needs change with market
Abstract
Gas movement has changed. Gathering has changed. Operators concentrate their best resources on the core business of producing natural gas. These factors have created changes in the way compression affects production. From the 1960s into the early 1990s, Knox Western, Ariel and Gemini left their imprints on the industry. They filled that significant market for small, multistage reciprocating compressors that moved the gas from the wellhead to the main pipelines that were the only customers for gas, says Arne A. Kellstrom of Kellstrom Associates, working with Knox Western Gas Compressors. They put together the less-than-200-horsepower reciprocating compressors that made up half the compression in the nation. Knox Western makes high-speed reciprocating compressors in a range from 25 to 1,400 horsepower.
