32 Try to Stay Ahead of the Production Curve Install Units Which Turn Up / Down Easily Valve Trays Variable Speed Pumps Use Multiple Trains if Possible Stay as Flexible as Possible with the Process

33 Conclusions All Shale Gas is Not the Same Watch out for Nitrogen in Shale Gas Anticipate Large Increases in Processing Capacity
