- Archrock Partners, L.P. (APLP) provides natural gas contract compression services to customers in the oil and natural gas industry throughout the United States. The company designs, sources, owns, installs, operates, services, repairs, and maintains natural gas compression equipment for applications including production, processing, transportation, storage, gas lift and re-injection, turbine fuel boosting, and carbon dioxide compression; it also offers aftermarket services such as over-the-counter parts, field services, shop services, turbocharger services, and used equipment. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, Archrock Partners operates as a master limited partnership primarily serving upstream, midstream, and downstream energy sectors with a focus on major U.S. oil and gas producing regions. Formerly known as Exterran Partners, L.P., the company changed its name to Archrock Partners, L.P. in November 2015.
Archrock Partners became a wholly owned subsidiary of Archrock, Inc. (NYSE: AROC) following Archrock's completion of the acquisition of its remaining publicly traded common units in April 2018, simplifying the corporate structure and enhancing operational integration within the combined entity. Through its parent company's recent strategic expansions, Archrock Partners benefits from Archrock, Inc.'s acquisition of Total Operations and Production Services in August 2024, adding approximately 580,000 horsepower of compression capacity, and the completed acquisition of Natural Gas Compression Systems, Inc. in April 2025, which contributed about 351,000 horsepower including electric compression assets in the Permian Basin and other key regions. These transactions bolster the partnership's fleet scale, customer relationships with blue-chip operators, and capabilities in high-demand, low-carbon compression solutions amid robust natural gas market growth.
