Gas infrastructure refers to the complex network of facilities and systems used for the production, processing, transportation, storage, and distribution of natural gas. This infrastructure is essential for delivering gas from extraction sites to end-users, including residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. Key components include gas wells, processing plants where raw gas is purified, compressor stations that maintain pressure for long-distance pipelines, and storage facilities that ensure supply stability. The transportation system primarily consists of a vast network of pipelines, both onshore and offshore, that can span thousands of miles. Finally, distribution networks take the gas from the transmission pipelines to individual customers through smaller pipes. The development and maintenance of gas infrastructure are critical for energy security and economic activity, requiring significant investment and ongoing technological advancements. Safety regulations and environmental considerations are paramount throughout the entire lifecycle of gas infrastructure.
