The diagram outlines the system used in the production, storage, and distribution of Natural gas. The gas can originate from several sources. Firstly, natural gas can be directly obtained from the gas wells. After a treatment in a gas plant, it is ready for distribution. another way of obtaining natural gas is as a by-product of oil production. Oil is refined and natural gas is obtained as part of the process. Thirdly, the ready-to-use gas may be imported by ship and is available for immediate distribution. Gas from all these three sources is initially kept in a central underground storage facility. It is then piped to regional storage centers. Once there, it is transported either by a 24000 litre rail wagon, or a 40000 litre road tanker to the retail outlets ready to be sold to the public. At the retail outlet, itis stored in a 120000 litre tank. The final stage of the process involves delivery to the individual customer by smaller 12000-liter tanker trucks
