As most gas compression facilities in Romania are from the 60’s-80, there is an increased demand to increase their efficiency. The paper explains researches on energy, economic and functional efficiency of equipment and processes during the modernization of a compressor station in oil and gas industry. It is meant to serve as a general guide for methods and procedures usually used in the industry in Romania, to improve the efficiency of an existing compressor station.
