Pump Station Pressure Control

A major midstream pipeline company is undertaking several projects to expand its capacity to meet the energy transportation needs of North America. One of the projects – a pipeline hundreds of miles long – will result in an increase in flow to more than 1,000,000 barrels of crude oil per day from the original design capacity of 400,000 barrels per day. The project will involve modification and upgrading of the existing pump stations, as well as the addition of a number of new pump stations.
