The naturgasskjeden, or natural gas value chain, describes the series of operations involved in bringing natural gas from its source to the end consumer. This chain begins with exploration and production, where companies search for and extract natural gas from underground reservoirs. This often involves drilling wells, sometimes offshore, and then separating the natural gas from oil and other impurities.
Once extracted, the natural gas is transported. For shorter distances or within processing facilities, pipelines are
The next stage is processing and treatment. Natural gas may undergo further purification to remove any remaining
Distribution involves moving the natural gas from storage to consumers. This is primarily done through extensive
