USA Compression

USA Compression Partners LP (NYSE: USAC), based in Austin, TX, completed its IPO in January 2013. Founded in 1998, USAC is a growth-oriented MLP that is one of the largest U.S. independent providers of natural gas compression, based on total fleet horsepower of nearly 4 million as of August 2018. USAC operates an infrastructure-oriented asset base that generates stable cash flows underpinned by high utilization rates. USAC provides compression services to the midstream energy sector, primarily in the shales and unconventional resource plays, which have lower producing pressures than conventional reservoirs and where demand is about three times that in conventional areas. USAC also provides gas lift compression services in artificial oil recovery. USAC employs a customer-oriented business philosophy in partnering with a diverse customer base, which is comprised of producers, processors, gatherers and transporters of natural gas and crude oil.
