America's muscular energy policy is creating significant ripples across multiple sectors, particularly strengthening the oil and gas industry in the Appalachian basin. With policies aimed at boosting domestic energy production, we're looking at increased drilling and extraction activities in the basin. Companies like Kingsly Compression are gearing up for what appears to be an imminent surge in demand.

Now, let's talk about what this means for your business. The reality is that mission-critical equipment—think reciprocating and rotary screw compressors, safety equipment, and control devices—is becoming both scarcer and more expensive. Whether you're running a well operation, managing a field, operating a tank farm or gas hub, handling flare gas recovery, or running a manufacturing plant, gas treatment facility, or refinery, securing affordable compressors should be at the top of your priority list. For growing companies, this market situation actually presents an excellent opportunity to invest in capital equipment.

When it comes to natural gas compressor packages, you'll want to focus on providers who can deliver complete systems. These packages include not just the compressor but all the necessary components—motors, controls, piping, and safety devices—for your specific application. The beauty of this approach is that instead of piecing together equipment and components, you get a ready-to-use unit that can be installed and operated right away. The best providers typically maintain a diverse inventory, ranging from modest 10-bhp electric Quincy compressors all the way up to powerful 1478-bhp Ariel JGK4 compressors.

Let's talk about applications. In high-volume gas gathering and vapor recovery, rotary screw compressors are the workhorses, handling flow ranges from 20 to 15,000 MSCFD. These machines are known for their reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, with minimal maintenance requirements. A crucial point here is ensuring compatibility with both natural gas and electric drives.

Depending on your operation's needs, you might require pipeline boosters for challenging pipeline sections or vapor recovery units capable of reducing hazardous pollutants by up to 95%. The supply chain position of your business might also necessitate specific equipment like fuel boosters for manufacturing, gas engine test cells, gas lifts, or flash gas units.

When it comes to choosing a supplier, there are several critical factors to consider. You'll want a reputable company with substantial inventory that can support any application. Look for suppliers offering prebuilt or custom-designed VFD, soft-start, motor starter, machine control, and power distribution panels, preferably using components from industry leaders like Siemens, Schnider Electric, Allen-Bradley, or Square-D. The best suppliers, like Kingsly Compression, typically provide online product selectors for easy inventory filtering. It's crucial to verify that your supplier uses American-made compressors; while import models might seem cheaper initially, they often end up costing more than double in maintenance and parts.

With the oil and gas industry poised for record growth in the coming years, now's the time to ensure your business is prepared. For those interested in learning more, Kingsly Compression, a family-owned business founded in 1991, has been serving customers nationwide from their offices in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, and Cambridge, Ohio.
