Oil and Gas Engineering

Midstream Facilities

Second progressive part in Oil and Gas Industry is the Midstream Processes which provides the link between natural gas being produced at a source and then fulfilling society’s need for energy and by-products. As its name implies, the midstream segment surrounds facilities and processes that sit between the upstream and downstream segments. Activities include processing, storage and transportation (by pipeline, rail, barge, oil tanker or truck), storage, and wholesale marketing of crude or refined petroleum products.

 Most large oil companies are known as being "integrated" because they integrate upstream activities, which include exploration and production, with downstream operations. This segment also includes  Pipeline Corrosion control, Leakage Recognition, Road Transport and Environment, Route development, Bulk Natural Gas and Oil Transport, End Developers and Operators, Fire Protection and Emergency Response and Crude Oil Exports.
