Midstream assets transport, store, and process energy products between production sites and end-use markets. This infrastructure segment includes pipelines, compression stations, storage facilities, processing plants, and terminals—all requiring specialized equipment and systems.

Asset types span natural gas gathering and transmission pipelines with compression facilities, crude oil pipelines and tank farms, NGL fractionation and storage, gas processing plants removing liquids and contaminants, and product terminals for distribution. Each asset type requires specific equipment.

Equipment for midstream assets includes pressure vessels for separation and treating, heat exchangers for thermal management, compression packages for pipeline pressure, metering and regulation equipment, storage tanks for liquids and gases, and piping systems connecting equipment. Code compliance, quality, and reliability are essential.

Midstream sector drives substantial fabrication demand. Infrastructure expansion serves growing production, infrastructure replacement addresses aging assets, and new infrastructure supports energy transition including renewable gas and hydrogen. Fabricators serving midstream markets must understand asset requirements and execution timelines.
