Development of Energy Technology Circuits of Compressor Stations Based on Deep Utilization of Secondary Energy Resources

In the light of the requirements for making the Russian Federation’s economy more energy efficient and ensuring the country’s energy security, PJSC Gazprom is among the key guarantors for fulfilling these requirements. The extent to which the gas industry is furnished with power supply sources is governed by the relevant demands posed by the natural gas extraction, transportation, storage, processing, and distribution technological processes. It is important to note that gas transmission pipelines account for the major part in the total amount of energy resources (fuel and electricity) consumed by the gas industry. Improvements in the thermal and hydraulic operating conditions of gas transportation and the technical refurbishment of existing compressor stations will make it possible to reduce the consumption of fuel and energy resources in the industry by a factor of two or more.
