Midstream facilities gather, store, and transport crude oil, natural gas, and other related products, covering oil and gas industry facilities between (and sometimes overlapping) the upstream and downstream sectors of the industry. Some processing and treatment of products may also take place at these midstream facilities. As such, midstream facilities have much of the same equipment and infrastructure needs as downstream oil and gas facilities, but also have their own unique needs, specific Recommended and Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices (RAGAGEP), and distinct jurisdictional and regulatory issues.
