| Commitments and Contingencies | 12. Commitments and Contingencies Accrued Capital Expenditures As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company had accrued capital expenditures of $15.5 million and $23.0 million, respectively. These amounts were included in accounts payable or accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts exclude accrued capital expenditures related to the sales tax contingency accrual. Purchase Commitments Purchase commitments primarily consist of future commitments to purchase new compression and power generation units that have been ordered but not yet received. As of March 31, 2026, these commitments amounted to $276.4 million, of which $241.9 million is expected to be settled within the next twelve months. Sales Tax Contingency Between October 2019 and April 2023, the Company received notices from the Texas Comptroller’s office in regards to audits for periods ranging from December 2015 through November 2023. The audits pertain to whether the Company may owe sales and use tax on certain of its compression equipment and parts that it purchased and used during that time period. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s associated liability was $66.0 million and $102.3 million, respectively, relating solely to the Texas portion of the sales and use tax. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company resolved outstanding Texas sales and use tax matters with the Texas Comptroller’s office related to certain prior periods. The settlement, which included applicable interest for the periods under review, was paid in full. The amount settled had previously been recognized in prior years, reflecting management’s earlier assessment of the liability. Legal Matters From time to time, the Company may become involved in various legal matters. Management believes that as of March 31, 2026, there are no legal matters whose resolution could have a material adverse effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company received a report regarding certain payments to local government officials in Mexico that commenced prior to the Company’s acquisition of its Mexican business in connection with the acquisition of CSI Compressco LP (the “CSI Acquisition”) that presented potential compliance issues under U.S. law. In response, the Company retained outside counsel to conduct an internal investigation of the reported payments, including whether any payments made may have indirectly benefited individuals associated with certain criminal cartel organizations, some of which may be designated as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) per Executive Order 14157 of January 20, 2025. The investigation determined that certain payments likely were made to persons associated with an organization designated as an FTO or SDGT. The payments appear to have been made in order to protect employees of the Mexican business from threats of harm or harassment, and to ensure access to work sites. The aggregate amount of these payments was not material. The Company sold its operations and legal entities in Mexico on September 30, 2025. The Company voluntarily self-reported this matter to governmental authorities in the United States, including the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and is cooperating with the investigative steps being taken by the DOJ and OFAC into the matter as a result of the voluntary self-disclosure. The Company also voluntarily self-reported to the SEC and intends to cooperate fully should there be any investigation by the Commission. This matter could result in U.S. governmental authorities seeking criminal and/or civil sanctions, including monetary fines and penalties, against the Company, as well as requiring additional changes to the Company’s business practices and compliance programs. To the extent any of the payments at issue are determined to be illegal in a foreign jurisdiction, it is possible that there could be civil or criminal penalties assessed in that jurisdiction. Although the Company does not expect the findings from the investigation or actions taken by governmental authorities to have a significant adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters at this time. Letters of Credit As of March 31, 2026, there was $1.4 million of letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility mainly to support the Company's obligations to construct a gas compression station on behalf of a customer.
