Booster Compressors for Long-Distance Natural Gas Transfer
GasPro’s booster compressors are purpose-built to move natural gas efficiently from production sites to distant locations through high-pressure pipelines. Whether the application is a facility, pipeline integration point, or field site, these compressors are essential to maintaining pressure differentials that allow gas to flow reliably across long distances.
In Alberta’s natural gas sector, maintaining efficient flow is critical. Gas that emerges at low pressure – especially from aging wells or coal bed methane formations – cannot enter high-pressure pipelines without assistance. GasPro’s booster compressors are designed to bridge that gap, compressing the gas to the required pressure level and enabling stable, long-haul transport.
Why Booster Compression Is Essential
In any gas production system, pressure is the driver of movement. Natural gas flows from high-pressure zones to areas of lower pressure. However, when wellhead pressure declines or when gas must travel great distances to processing plants or export lines, the natural pressure differential isn’t enough.
Booster compressors solve this problem by increasing gas pressure to match the requirements of downstream infrastructure. Once boosted, the gas can flow into high-pressure lines without restriction, reducing bottlenecks and keeping production targets on track.
This is especially vital for:
- Remote or depleted wells
- Coal bed methane (CBM) operations
- Fields where pressure has declined over time
- Sites needing pressure alignment with existing infrastructure
Where Booster Compressors Are Used
GasPro’s solutions are widely used across Alberta and Western Canada. Our compressor packages are engineered for demanding field environments and customized to match unique flow requirements and gas compositions.
Common use cases include:
- Boosting gas into long-distance pipeline systems
- Enhancing flow from low-pressure wells
- Supporting facility-level pressure alignment
- Depleting coal bed methane (CBM) to near-zero pressure
- Maintaining flow in high-elevation or remote field installations

Helping Deplete Low-Pressure Gas Formations
One of the most impactful uses of booster compressors is in the depletion of coal bed methane (CBM) and other low-pressure natural gas wells. These types of wells often have insufficient pressure to push gas into a pipeline system, especially late in their production life.
GasPro’s booster compressors allow producers to recover more gas by drawing down well pressure to near-zero. This maximizes resource recovery, extends well lifespan, and improves overall project economics.
