The reciprocating compressor equipment generally used in the oil & gas industry exhibit a linear motion when increasing natural gas pressure. They are commonly used in natural gas compressors as they can handle all volume capacities and pressures. Compared with rotary compressors, they have a variable volumetric flow-rate output, which can still be limited. Besides, these machines have more moving parts. Their mechanical efficiencies are lower, and there may be a need to lubricate the parts occasionally. Moreover, an increase in the demand for these machines can be expected over the next few years. The applications of compressor equipment in the oil & gas industry to process fuel-rich materials is one area that cannot be neglected, especially if a company wants to avoid drawing regulatory concerns in the jurisdiction where it provides its services. Depending on the type of machine that is employed, the pressure in natural gas can be enhanced; those held in a reservoir can be preserved with the right amount of pressure. Thus, the growing exploration and production activities in the oil & gas industry are expected to drive the growth of the global reciprocating compressor market during the forecast period
