Gas
Compressors, Inc. The clean-burning properties of natural gas make it one of the preferred fuels for "clean power generation." Natural gas consumption (in the United States) for the power generation sector is projected to increase from 5.0 trillion cubic feet in 2003 to 9.4 trillion cubic feet in 2025. This means there is a significant market opportunity for gas compressors and for providing gas compression services as well as gas gathering, gas compression, gas transmission and gas storage.
Through our strategic positioning and our founder's 20 years experience and business relationships in the natural gas industry, we have the unique ability to learn about new natural gas opportunities before most of our competitors. This provides us with a strategic competitive advantage and the "first look" at new natural gas projects - that we will either pursue, or pass on. We are seeking joint venture partners interested in the natural gas market opportunities in the U.S. There is no other company better positioned to provide these natural gas products and services than us! Interested joint venture partners are welcome to call (800) 983 - 0672 to find out more about us and our joint venture opportunities in the natural gas markets.
We provide "vendor-neutral" gas compressor sales, rentals and services. About Fuel Gas Boosters We provide "vendor-neutral" fuel gas booster sales, rentals and services. About Rental Compression We provide Rental Compression services. Cooler, Cleaner, Greener Power & Energy Solutions project development services are one of our many specialties. These projects are Kyoto Protocol compliant and generate clean energy and significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Unlike most companies, we are equipment supplier/vendor neutral.

About Gas Compressors We provide "vendor-neutral" gas compressor sales, rentals and services. About Gas Gathering The physical facilities that accumulate and transport
natural gas from a well to an acceptance point of a transportation
pipeline are called a gas gathering system. Prior to FERC Order 636 in 1992, many interstate pipeline companies had a completely integrated supply system that was capable of delivering natural gas from the wellhead to the ultimate retail gas consumer. But, following Order 636, which separated gathering, marketing, and transmission operations, many pipeline companies reorganized and broke up this system into discrete parts and assigned them to affiliated companies. The facilities, functions, and services required for gathering, processing, and transportation were placed in affiliated companies or were spun off or sold to other companies. Since most gas prices were no longer regulated, gas gathering service charges became subject to market forces and were a function of buyer/seller negotiation, isolated from the transmission charges imposed by the pipeline transporter. More about Gas Gathering: The corporate reorganizations brought about under the influence of FERC
Order 636 caused a shift in the jurisdictional entities regulating the
various facilities and services. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) had once regulated the entire integrated interstate pipeline
system, but after the reorganizations, FERC became the regulating entity
for only the interstate pipeline transportation and processing facilities
and services. The spun-off or affiliated gathering facilities and services
generally fell under state jurisdiction or other Federal agencies, such as
the Department of the Interior, but in some cases FERC maintained
jurisdiction. Especially unclear, and still contested in 2004, is the
jurisdictional status of some Gulf of Mexico gathering systems. As a result of FERC's decision in Order 636 to promote competition by requiring interstate pipelines to "unbundle" their previously bundled sales and transportation into separate services and to transport natural gas for all qualified shippers, some such pipelines have sought to shed OCS facilities that primarily perform a gathering function. Accordingly, those pipelines have asked FERC to reclassify OCS facilities that were previously classified as transportation, and to authorize "spin-downs" of OCS gathering facilities to affiliates. To differentiate jurisdictional transportation and non-jurisdictional gathering for pipelines, FERC for many years has employed two principal tests. Under the "behind-the-plant" test, facilities upstream of compressors and processing plants (i.e., toward the wellhead where the gas comes out of the ground) were presumptively gathering facilities, while facilities downstream of the plants (i.e., toward the consumer) were presumptively transportation facilities. For gas that requires no processing, FERC employed a "central-point-in-the-field" test, under which lateral lines that collect and transport gas from separate wells that then converge into a single large line were classified as gathering facilities, while facilities downstream of the collection point in a field were classified as transportation. Since 1983, FERC has subsumed those two tests into a "primary function" test that focuses on a number of physical factors (e.g., length, diameter, and configuration of a pipeline) and certain other criteria, to determine whether facilities are primarily devoted to gathering or transportation. Under the primary function measure, no one factor is determinative, nor do all factors apply in every situation. FERC developed its primary function test in the context of onshore gathering patterns. For natural gas produced on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), pipelines generally are configured differently and typically do not gather gas at a local, centralized point within a field as they would onshore to prepare it for traditional transportation. As stated in EP Operating Co. v. FERC (5th Circuit, 1989), "Rather, on the OCS, relatively long lines are constructed to carry the raw gas from offshore platforms where 'only the most rudimentary separation and dehydration operations' are conducted, to the shore or a point closer to shore, where it can be processed into 'pipeline quality' gas." It also notes that pipelines on the OCS must construct large pipes to carry (often over a 100 miles away) the raw gas from offshore rigs to the shore for processing. In response to the practical and physical differences between onshore and offshore pipeline configurations, FERC modified its primary function test for the OCS to allow for the increasing length and diameter of OCS gathering lines, and later announced that it would "presume facilities located in deep water [over 200 feet] are primarily engaged in gathering or production." * Some of the above information from the Department of Energy website with permission. |
