Give the title to the extract and discuss the problem.

Unlike crude oil, natural gas...	...in a manner similar to crude oil.
Gas begins that journey...	...is generally delivered directly to the consumer by pipeline.
Gas wells are connected to small- diameter (five centimetres to 15 centimetres; two inches to six inches)...	...that are mounted on moveable platforms and that remove impurities and water from the gas, to large gas plants that also remove sulphur and carbon dioxide.
Gas processing facilities, usually referred to as gas plants, vary in size from small compression facilities...	...gathering systems that take the gas to a gas processing facility.
Some gas plants also extract ethane,...	... into the transmission system which consists of steel pipe from 50 centimetres (20 inches) to more than a metre (39.4 inches) in diameter.
The generally dry gas may then be compressed prior to moving...	...propane, and butane, which are referred to as natural gas liquids or NGLs.
Gas flows through the system from areas of high pressure...	...along the pipeline to increase line pressure which is reduced due to friction of the gas moving through the pipe.
Compressor stations are placed at regular intervals...	... to areas of low pressure through the use of compressors, turbines similar to jet engines that increase the pressure of the gas up to 10,300 kilopascals (1,500 pounds per square inch).

Task 4. Pipeline Components

I.Word usage and common errors.

1. Piece is not used with countable nouns. Compare: “ a piece of equipment”, “a piece of furniture”, “ a piece of pipe”, “a piece of advice”.

2. As far as I am concerned, not concern

۷ As far as I am concerned, the cost of the repair is not my responsibility.

X As far as I concern, the cost of the repair is not my res­ponsibility.

II. Pronunciation practice.

Network, inject, facility, liquid, topography, deliver, re­lease, maintenance, trajectory, pressure, intermediate, distri­bution, terrain, rupture, storage, location, exclusively.

III. Read the text and underline the international words.
