What Trends Are Shaping The Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Virtual Pipeline Market?
Key players in the LNG virtual pipeline sector are enhancing natural gas compression stations through the application of innovative features, all aimed at improving the transport and distribution of LNG. These virtual pipelines provide boosts to efficiency, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, in turn reinforcing the natural gas supply chain. For example, Sun Bridge Energy Services, a US-based oil and gas firm, introduced a natural gas compression station in the Permian basin in August 2022. This company also set up a station capable of handling 50 million cubic feet per day in the Midland Basin, aimed at encouraging oil and gas producers across the country to incorporate dual-fuel engines into their completion, drilling, and midstream operations. Leveraging clean fuel alternatives such as compressed natural gas can help lower emissions. This station uses advanced composite tube technology renowned for safety and reliability and similarly utilized by industry giants including SpaceX and Shell. The new natural gas compression station by Sun Bridge Energy Services plays a crucial role in creating a virtual pipeline for greener fuels in the Permian Basin, thus facilitating a shift towards more eco-friendly energy sources in the region.
