GHGRP 2012: Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems
This sector consists of the following industry segments of the petroleum and natural gas industry.
- Onshore Production. Production of petroleum and natural gas associated with onshore production wells and related equipment.
- Offshore Production. Production of petroleum and natural gas from offshore production platforms.
- Natural Gas Processing. Processing of field quality gas to produce pipeline quality natural gas.
- Natural Gas Transmission. Compressor stations used to transfer natural gas through transmission pipelines.
- Underground Natural Gas Storage. Facilities that store natural gas in underground formations.
- Natural Gas Distribution. Distribution systems that deliver natural gas to customers.
- Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Import/Export. Liquified Natural Gas import and export terminals.
- LNG Storage. Liquified Natural Gas storage equipment.
