“Natural gas pipeline compressors are powered by natural gas fired combustion turbines”
What gets the natural gas to the “natural gas fired combustion turbines”? Are you saying the feed is entirely self-powered right out of the well with no external energy dependence at all? I find that hard to believe.

You do need a power source to spin the gas turbine up. I’m not sure what that is, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find it is an electric motor powered from the grid. Or maybe powered by batteries kept charged on-site. Or maybe a NG-fired ICE running a small generator that powered the CT starter motor. Lots of ways to do that.
