Cost depends on type of compressor. Well head compressors (used at the wellhead to lift gas) can be relatively inexpensive, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. Larger central units used in processing facilities can be significantly more expensive, potentially costing hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.
The cost of secondary gas compressors for a gas well can vary widely, with estimates ranging from $29,000 to $82,500 or more, depending on factors like size, type, and complexity. Some compressors, like Ariel models, can cost $65,000 to $82,500, while others, like Ingersoll Rand, may be as low as $29,000.
General Cost Ranges:
Wellhead Compressors: $5,000 - $50,000+
Central Compressors: $100,000+
