Digital Exclusive: Aging gas assets increase integrity risks for gas processors
Gas processing facilities across the U.S.—and increasingly around the world—are entering a critical phase of their lifecycles. Much of the infrastructure that drives today’s midstream and processing sectors was built in the 1980s or earlier, an era defined by different process expectations, diverse materials and varied operating philosophies. Today, these same assets remain the beating heart of North America’s natural gas supply chain, yet they do so after 40 yrs of operation—more than 62% of these assets were built before 1980.
