natural gas plant

Fuel extraction facility

A natural gas plant is a facility that processes raw natural gas extracted from wells, removing impurities and separating valuable components like propane and butane before the gas enters pipelines for distribution.

Also called a gas processing plant.

The term occasionally refers to power plants that burn natural gas to generate electricity.
