Why is there less gas in the gas pipeline of oil production station in winter?

The reasons for this situation are temperature drop, gas compression and insufficient heat preservation measures for pipelines.

1. Cooling: When the temperature is low in winter, the gas temperature in the gas pipeline will also decrease. The decrease of temperature will lead to the increase of gas density and the decrease of gas flow, so it is felt that the gas flow in the gas pipeline will decrease.

2. Gas compression: the gas pressure of the oil production station fluctuates. When the temperature drops, the gas pressure will increase, causing the gas in the gas pipeline to be compressed and the gas volume to decrease.

3. Insufficient heat preservation measures for the pipeline: If the heat preservation measures for the gas pipeline are insufficient, the pipe wall will easily dissipate heat, resulting in a rapid drop in gas temperature and a decrease in flow.
