Assumptions:
• 10,964 new wellsites in 2023 (2020 Annual Energy Outlook).
• Each company assumed to own 22 well sites.
• 250 new compressor stations per year (212 G&B (7 G&B stations per company) and 38 T&S)
• 7 new processing plants per year.
• 1 new sweetening facility per year.
• 0 new centrifugal compressors equipped with wet seals per year (2017 Compliance Reports).
• 72 reciprocating compressors in production & processing per year. (2018, GHGI, 2018 TSD and 2017 Compliance Reports). 10% route to a control device, 90% rod packing changeout.
• 1,234 new pneumatic controllers in production & processing per year (2018 GHGI).
• 663 new pneumatic pumps per year (2017 Compliance Reports). 50% are diaphragm pumps and affected facilities and 75% will be controlled (2018 TSD, page 92-93).
• 1,162 new storage vessels in 2023 (based on numbers from 2017 Compliance Reports and scaled using the number of well completions per year).
