Csi Compressco Lp's Business Segments

We are a provider of compression services and equipment for natural gas and oil production, gathering, transportation, processing, and storage. We sell standard and custom-designed compressor packages and oilfield fluid pump systems, and provide aftermarket services and compressor package parts and components manufactured by third-party suppliers. We provide these compression services and equipment to a broad base of natural gas and oil exploration and production, midstream, and transmission companies operating throughout many of the onshore producing regions of the United States, as well as in a number of foreign countries, including Mexico, Canada, and Argentina. We design and fabricate a majority of the compressor packages that we use to provide compression services and that we sell to customers.

CSI Compressco LP offers a comprehensive suite of compression services tailored to the oil and gas industry, leveraging a substantial fleet of approximately 5,800 compressor packages that deliver around 1.1 million aggregate horsepower. These compressor packages are designed for various applications ranging from low-horsepower solutions, ideal for the initial stages of production enhancement, to high-horsepower solutions suitable for extensive midstream operations.

Compression Services Overview

1. Low-Horsepower Compression Services (0-100 Horsepower)
- Compressor Packages: The low-horsepower segment includes compressor packages such as the GasJack® and VJack™.
- GasJack®: These are compact and easily transportable, making them ideal for deployment at customer well sites.
- VJack™: Electric-powered packages that enhance production at sites with available electric power.
- Applications:
- Wellhead Compression: Facilitates the efficient extraction of gas from wells.
- Fluids Separation: Separates excess fluids from gas to optimize production.
- Gas Metering: Integrated additional service for accurate measurement of gas production.
- Production Enhancement: Particularly effective on dry gas wells and liquid-loaded gas wells.
- Backside Auto Injection Systems (BAIS): Monitors tubing pressure to assist in unloading liquids from gas wells, thus maximizing production.
- Vapor Recovery: Collects hydrocarbon vapors from oil production and storage processes to prevent emissions.
- Casing Gas Systems: Reduces casing pressure in oil wells, bolstering oil production through efficient gas management.

2. Medium-Horsepower Compression Services (101-800 Horsepower)
- Compressor Features: These packages utilize primarily two- and three-stage compressors and are powered by natural gas engines ranging from 101 to 800 horsepower.
- Functions:
- Gas Transportation: Boosts natural gas from the wellhead through field gathering systems, ensuring gas remains pressurized for transport.
- Gas Reinjection: Essential for enhancing oil recovery in reservoirs with inadequate natural pressure, aiding in gas lift operations.
- Central Compression Points: Establishes efficiency within low-capacity natural gas fields, focusing on overcoming pressure disparities to facilitate transport and processing.

3. High-Horsepower Compression Services (Over 800 Horsepower)
- Applications: Primarily deployed in midstream contexts, these compressor packages support significant throughput requirements.
- Functionality:
- Gathering and Compression Facilities: Moves gas from nominated wells to gathering pipelines leading toward processing facilities.
- Dual Purpose Operations: Frequently utilized for gas lift operations in oil well productivity enhancement.
- Equipment Specifications: Compounded by two- and three-stage compressor systems designed for extreme demands, all while maintaining interstage cooling for operational efficiency.

Related Services

Well Monitoring and Sand Separation Services
- Geographic Focus: These services are particularly offered in certain Latin American markets.
- Sand Separation: Use of automated sand separators to diminish abrasive wear on compression equipment and improve well production.

Contractual Framework
- Service Contracts: Compression services are under service contracts, often categorized by horsepower.
- Low-Horsepower Contracts: Typically begins with a month-to-month agreement.
- Medium- and High-Horsepower Contracts: Initially extend from six to twenty-four months, transitioning then to month-to-month arrangements.
- Payment Structure: Clients are charged a fixed monthly fee; performance metrics may allow for credits in instances of service shortfalls.
