Gathering Center:
A gathering center is a facility which stores crude
oil and gas generated from well heads scattered near the facility.
Once black oil is produced from the well heads, it gets collected in
the gathering center and then it is separated to crude oil and gas
with moisture and salt extracted. After this process, the oil and
gas are sent to storage facilities.
