times in KHolder Development. The gas that comes through the gas pipelines goes directly into
the transport network, after passing through the compression stations, which raise their pressure
to maximize the transport capacity of the pipes.
However, liquefied natural gas requires returning to its gaseous state. Those in charge of doing this
are the degasification plants, which discharge liquefied natural gas from ships and return it to its
natural state through the vaporization system that increases its temperature. Subsequently, the gas
is introduced into the high pressure transmission network, which in turn is connected to the
distribution networks of less than 16 bar pressure, which are the ones that bring natural gas to our
homes and businesses. Regulating and measuring stations have a fundamental role in this process,
which in addition to reducing the pressure, measure the gas delivered.

In the refinery, by means of a distillation process, the different oil fractions are separated to
transform it into higher quality and added value products. In this phase, an infinite number of
physical and chemical processes intervene that give rise to products that we use in our daily lives,
for example propane, butane or diesel.
This entire long journey makes it possible for us to have Oil And Gas Patents for heating or
cooking at home. It allows vehicles to circulate and enables industrial processes such as metallurgy,
the manufacture of plastics, the firing of ceramics or the production of fertilizers, among others.
