Petroleum and petrochemical industry: Natural gas pipeline construction ushered in a period of rapid development

Natural gas is a multi-component mixed gaseous fossil fuel. The main components are alkanes, of which methane is the majority, and small amounts of ethane, propane and butane. It is mainly found in oil fields, gas fields, coal seams, and shale formations. After natural gas is burned, no waste residue or waste water will be produced. Compared with coal, petroleum and other energy sources, they have the advantages of safe use, high calorific value and cleanliness.

In the construction of natural gas pipelines, the largest consumables used are steel pipes, which are the main carriers for transporting natural gas. The main technical parameters of the steel pipe include: steel grade, diameter, wall thickness, total pipeline length and so on. For monitoring needs, pressure instruments are also used in natural gas pipelines. In order to facilitate maintenance, construction, monitoring, sampling and other operations, the valve is also an essential part of the natural gas pipeline. The compression station system provides power for the continuous transportation of natural gas in the pipeline. The main hardware components are the compressor and the power supply system.
