In an industry that spans oceans and continents, Midstream performance and reliability are the name of the game. Atlas Copco Gas and Process offers customized Once crude oil or natural gas have been located and and standardized machinery that supports every link produced, they enter the crucial midstream sector – in the value chain, maximizing performance without pipeline transportation, storage, and processing. sacrificing dependability. From transportation to storage, we offer decades of Upstream experience and expertise in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), including the reliquefaction of boil-off gas that occurs The beginning of the petroleum process involves the aboard LNG vessels. exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas. It covers all applications from the well to the Downstream product-transportation system. Perhaps the most complex market within the oil-and-gas Within this segment, gas processing, gas treatment, industry, downstream refers to the refining and marketing and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) applications rely processes, as well as all other subsequent measures on Atlas Copco Gas and Process turbomachinery. of transforming and processing hydrocarbon products further down the value chain. Atlas Copco Gas and Process machines support down-stream applications such as petrochemical, aromatics, anorganics, as well as refinery and power-generation processes.
