Note to User of “Gas Compression Library”

The intended use of this Power Point Presentation is to allow Petroleum Sales personnel in
Caterpillar and Caterpillar Dealerships for Caterpillar Natural Gas Engines to obtain Caterpillar
Performance, Technical, Marketing & Features & Benefit Slides about Caterpillar Natural Gas
Engines for Gas Compression Applications. It is not meant to be a presentation for all occasions
but rather a resource for petroleum sales personnel to use and modify as needed. In this way
specific material for specific target audiences are now more readily available to be customized to
urgent need of the day.
At no time should this be used as a presentation in its entirety!
On the next slide, the “Library’s Table of Content” has been provided to enable you to navigate the
library. Each Main Section Header of the Library and its contents are separated by a Title Page.

Gas Compression
Caterpillar’s Driving Force
Gas lift. Reinjection. Processing. Storage &

Retrieval. Enhanced Recovery. Pipeline
transmission.
There are many ways to get gas and oil from
where it is to where you want it. But there’s
only one best choice in engines for
compression applications: Caterpillar.
What is Gas Compression?

The process of compressing gas for:
 Oil production
 Fueling engines at the well site
 Transportation to a storage facility and
along the pipeline
Serving In All Aspects of

The Compression Market
 Well-head
 Gathering
 Processing
 Transmission
 Storage
 Enhanced Oil
Recovery
Gas Compression Applications

 Wellhead
– Compressor is located at the well

when reservoir pressure is too low
– Reciprocating and rotary screw

compressors are common
– G3300 & G3400 Series


 Gathering
– Compress gas through the pipes

from the well to the processing
plant
– Rotary screw compressors for

discharge pressures less than
350 psi
– Reciprocating compressors for

higher discharge pressures
– G3500 & G3600


 Processing
G3600 - Recip
– Remove heavier hydrocarbons G16CM34 - Recip
and undesirable compounds Storage
– Compressors increase inlet &

outlet pressure
– Reciprocating compressors are G3600 - Recip

G16CM34 - Recip
required for most full-scale gas Turbine - Centrifugal
processing operations
– G3600 (2000 – 4500 hp)

G3600 - Recip

 Transmission G3600 - Recip
G16CM34 - Recip
– Compressors transfer
processed gas to market Storage
– Reciprocating compressors are
used for transmission pipeline
compressor stations Transmission
G3600 - Recip
G16CM34 - Recip
Turbine - Centrifugal
– 1000 – 1200 psi
– G3600
– G16CM34
G3600 - Recip

 Storage G3600 - Recip
G16CM34 - Recip
Natural gas can be stored
underground in (A) salt caverns, Storage
(B) mines, (C) aquifers,
(D) depleted oil/gas reservoirs,
– Gas is stored when and (E) hard rock mines.
production exceeds demand
Transmission
G3600 - Recip
G16CM34 - Recip
– Reciprocating compressors Turbine - Centrifugal
are used, with size of engine-
compressor package driven
by the specific application
– G3600 or G16CM34 G3600 - Recip


 Enhanced Oil Recovery
 Gas Lift
– Used to maximize oil production
when well pressure decreases.
– Gas is compressed, then injected
into the tubing to reduce the oil
density and bring it to the surface.
– Requires reciprocating compressor
due to high compressor discharge
pressure requirement
– 800-1200 psi for injection into well
– G3300 & G3400 series
