(Image:Everllence) Everllence has secured its first commercial order for its PARSYN synthesis gas compressor train, which will be installed at AM Green’s green ammonia production project in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India. The order marks the first commercial application of PARSYN, a compressor train concept developed specifically for green ammonia production.

Methane regulations are expanding across the global natural gas industry, but differences in compliance requirements, emissions measurement and verification standards threaten to complicate international trade and increase costs for operators, according to a new report from the International Gas Union (IGU).

Freedom LNG LLC, an affiliate of Singapore-based LNG Alliance, has applied to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for authorization to export natural gas to Mexico for liquefaction and subsequent shipment to international markets. The proposed Bravo LNG project would be developed near the Port of Matamoros in Tamaulipas, Mexico, on the Gulf of Mexico. The facility would have an annual production capacity of approximately 6 million metric tons of LNG, according to the application.

After roughly 35 years in the gas engine and compression business, Mike Brooks has experienced enough market swings to be cautious about declaring that this time is different. But the new chief executive officer of Global Compression Services (GCS) believes the forces now reshaping the natural gas industry extend beyond a conventional business cycle. “I’ve been in this industry for about 35 years, and I would say I’ve been through five cycles,” Brooks said.

The two-cycle Lenoir engine in 1858 was the first commercially successful internal combustion engine. From the very early days when internal combustion engines replaced steam engines, two-cycle gas engine-compressors have played a critical role in success and reliability of the oil and gas industry. This is the first of a six-part series on the history of two-cycle gas engine-compressor development.

U.S. natural gas production reached a record high in July, driven primarily by increased output from the Permian Basin and continued expansion of pipeline takeaway capacity. Gross withdrawals — the total volume of natural gas produced at the wellhead — averaged 137 Bcf/d in July 2026, the highest monthly level on record.
