What is the function of GDU in oil field?

In an oil field, a Gas Distribution Unit (GDU) is responsible for the separation, processing, and distribution of natural gas produced alongside oil. It ensures that the gas is treated to remove impurities and is compressed or measured for safe transport or use. The GDU plays a crucial role in optimizing production efficiency and meeting regulatory standards for gas emissions. Additionally, it helps in maximizing the economic value of the gas by facilitating its sale or reinjection into the reservoir.
