Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Exterran Holdings, Inc. (“Exterran,” “Archrock,” “our,” “we” or “us”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are not required in these interim financial statements and have been condensed or omitted. Management believes that the information furnished includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . That report contains a more comprehensive summary of our accounting policies. The interim results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. On November 17, 2014, we announced that our board of directors had authorized management to pursue a plan to separate (the “Spin-off”) our international contract operations, international aftermarket services and global fabrication businesses into an independent, publicly traded company (“Exterran Corporation,” previously named Exterran SpinCo, Inc. prior to May 18, 2015). On November 3, 2015 (the “Distribution Date”), we completed the Spin-off of Exterran Corporation. Upon the completion of the Spin-off, we and Exterran Corporation are independent, publicly traded companies with separate public ownership, boards of directors and management, and we continue to own and operate the U.S. contract operations and U.S. aftermarket services businesses that we previously owned. Effective on November 3, 2015, we were renamed Archrock, Inc. and beginning on November 4, 2015 we trade on the New York Stock exchange under the symbol “AROC.” References to “Archrock,” “Exterran,” “our,” “we” or “us” refer to Archrock, Inc., including the Exterran Corporation businesses, for all periods prior to or ending on November 3, 2015. Additionally, we continue to hold interests in Exterran Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”), which include the sole general partner interest and certain limited partner interests, as well as all of the incentive distribution rights in the Partnership. Effective on November 3, 2015, the Partnership was renamed Archrock Partners, L.P. and trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “APLP.” References to “Archrock Partners,” “Exterran Partners” or “the Partnership” refer to Archrock Partners, L.P., for all periods prior to or ending on November 3, 2015. To effect the Spin-off, we distributed on the Distribution Date, on a pro rata basis, all of the shares of Exterran Corporation common stock to our stockholders as of October 27, 2015 (the “Record Date”). Exterran Holdings shareholders received one share of Exterran Corporation common stock for every two shares of our common stock held at the close of business on the Record Date. Unless otherwise indicated, the financial statements and related footnote disclosures within this report exclude the impact of the Spin-off. The effect of the Spin-off will significantly change and materially impact future disclosures, results of operations, balance sheet and cash flow positions. Financial results of Exterran Corporation prior to the Spin-off will be reported as discontinued operations beginning in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2015. See Note 2 for further discussion of the Spin-off. Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Exterran Common Stockholders Per Common Share Basic income (loss) attributable to Exterran common stockholders per common share is computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, basic income (loss) attributable to Exterran common stockholders per common share is determined by dividing income (loss) attributable to Exterran common stockholders after deducting amounts allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Participating securities include our unvested restricted stock and certain stock settled restricted stock units that have nonforfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid. During periods of net loss, no effect is given to participating securities because they do not have a contractual obligation to participate in our losses. Diluted income (loss) attributable to Exterran common stockholders per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental common stock equivalents attributed to outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock, restricted stock units, stock to be issued pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan and convertible senior notes, unless their effect would be anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes net income (loss) attributable to Exterran common stockholders used in the calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per common share (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2015 2014 2015 2014 Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders $ (25,080 ) $ 16,047 $ (13,294 ) $ 24,524 Income from discontinued operations, net of tax 18,776 18,003 37,743 54,499 Less: Net income attributable to participating securities (141 ) (448 ) (384 ) (1,157 ) Net income (loss) attributable to Exterran common stockholders $ (6,445 ) $ 33,602 $ 24,065 $ 77,866 The following table shows the potential shares of common stock that were included in computing diluted income (loss) attributable to Exterran common stockholders per common share (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2015 2014 2015 2014 Weighted average common shares outstanding including participating securities 69,530 67,347 69,403 66,820 Less: Weighted average participating securities outstanding (970 ) (915 ) (962 ) (959 ) Weighted average common shares outstanding — used in basic income (loss) per common share 68,560 66,432 68,441 65,861 Net dilutive potential common shares issuable: On exercise of options and vesting of restricted stock units * 468 * 527 On exercise of warrants ** 3,506 — 2,929 On conversion of 4.25% convertible senior notes due 2014 ** ** ** * Weighted average common shares outstanding — used in diluted income (loss) per common share 68,560 70,406 68,441 69,317 ________________________________ * Excluded from diluted income (loss) per common share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. ** Not applicable as these instruments were not outstanding during the period. There were no adjustments to net income (loss) attributable to Exterran common stockholders for the diluted earnings (loss) per common share calculation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 .

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , we recognized a loss of $0.7 million and a tax benefit of $0.3 million , in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, related to changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments. (2) During the three months ended September 30, 2014 , we reclassified a $0.7 million loss to interest expense and a tax benefit of $0.3 million to provision for income taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of operations from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , we reclassified a $1.9 million loss to interest expense and a tax benefit of $0.7 million to provision for income taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of operations from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). (3) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , we recognized a loss of $6.3 million and $6.5 million , respectively, in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, related to changes in foreign currency translation adjustment. (4) During the three months ended September 30, 2015 , we recognized a loss of $2.5 million and a tax benefit of $0.8 million , in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, related to changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we recognized a loss of $5.4 million and a tax benefit of $1.8 million , in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, related to changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments. (5) During the three months ended September 30, 2015 , we reclassified a $0.9 million loss to interest expense and a tax benefit of $0.3 million to provision for income taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of operations from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we reclassified a $2.5 million loss to interest expense and a tax benefit of $0.9 million to provision for income taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of operations from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). (6) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we recognized a gain of $4.9 million and a loss of $1.8 million , respectively, in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, related to changes in foreign currency translation adjustment. Financial Instruments Our financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, receivables, payables, interest rate swaps and debt. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying amounts as reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our fixed rate debt was estimated based on quoted market yields in inactive markets, which are Level 2 inputs. The fair value of our floating rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on interest rates offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, which are Level 3 inputs. See Note 10 for additional information regarding the fair value hierarchy. The following table summarizes the carrying amount and fair value of our debt as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands): September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Fixed rate debt $ 1,041,904 $ 928,000 $ 1,041,402 $ 960,000 Floating rate debt 1,034,000 1,035,000 985,500 986,000 Total debt $ 2,075,904 $ 1,963,000 $ 2,026,902 $ 1,946,000 GAAP requires that all derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recognized in the balance sheet at fair value and that changes in such fair values be recognized in income (loss) unless specific hedging criteria are met. Changes in the values of derivatives that meet these hedging criteria will ultimately offset related income effects of the hedged item pending recognition in income.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Spin-off Transaction	2. Spin-off Transaction On November 17, 2014, we announced that our board of directors had authorized management to pursue a plan to separate our international contract operations, international aftermarket services and global fabrication businesses into an independent, publicly traded company. On November 3, 2015, we completed the Spin-off of Exterran Corporation. To effect the Spin-off, we distributed on the Distribution Date, on a pro rata basis, all of the shares of Exterran Corporation common stock to our stockholders as of the Record Date. Exterran Holdings shareholders received one share of Exterran Corporation common stock for every two shares of our common stock held at the close of business on the Record Date. Upon completion of the Spin-off, we and Exterran Corporation are independent, publicly traded companies with separate public ownership, boards of directors and management, and we continue to own and operate the U.S. contract operations and U.S. aftermarket services businesses that we previously owned. Effective on November 3, 2015, we were renamed Archrock, Inc. and beginning on November 4, 2015 we trade on the New York Stock exchange under the symbol “AROC.” In addition, we continue to hold interests in the Partnership, which include the sole general partner interest and certain limited partner interests, as well as all of the incentive distribution rights in the Partnership. Effective on November 3, 2015, the Partnership was renamed Archrock Partners, L.P. and trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “APLP.” On July 10, 2015, we and our wholly owned subsidiary, Archrock Services, L.P. (the “Archrock Borrower”), entered into a credit agreement (the “Archrock Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as the administrative agent, and various financial institutions as lenders, which provided for a $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Archrock Credit Facility”) to be made available to the Archrock Borrower. On October 5, 2015, the parties amended the terms of the Archrock Credit Facility to increase the borrowing capacity from $300.0 million to $350.0 million . Availability under the Archrock Credit Facility was subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including (i) the payoff and termination of our existing Credit Facility and (ii) the consummation of the Spin-off on or before January 4, 2016 (the date on which those conditions are satisfied is referred to as the “Archrock Initial Availability Date”). No borrowings were outstanding under the Archrock Credit Facility as of September 30, 2015 because the Archrock Initial Availability Date had not yet occurred. As a result of the completion of the Spin-off, the Archrock Initial Availability Date was November 3, 2015. On July 10, 2015, our wholly owned subsidiary Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P. (“EESLP”), which upon the completion of the Spin-off is a wholly owned subsidiary of Exterran Corporation, and Exterran Corporation entered into a $750.0 million credit agreement (the “Exterran Corporation Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo, as the administrative agent, and various financial institutions as lenders. On October 5, 2015, the parties amended and restated the terms of the Exterran Corporation Credit Agreement to provide for a new $925.0 million credit facility, consisting of a $680.0 million revolving credit facility and a $245.0 million term loan facility (collectively, the “Exterran Corporation Credit Facility”). Availability under the Exterran Corporation Credit Facility was subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including the consummation of the Spin-off on or before January 4, 2016 (the date on which those conditions are satisfied is referred to as the “Initial Availability Date”). No borrowings were outstanding under the Exterran Corporation Credit Facility as of September 30, 2015 because the Initial Availability Date had not yet occurred. As a result of the completion of the Spin-off, the Initial Availability Date was November 3, 2015. As contemplated in the separation and distribution agreement, EESLP will contribute to a subsidiary of Archrock the right to receive payments based on a notional amount corresponding to payments received by subsidiaries of Exterran Corporation from PDVSA Gas in respect of the sale of our previously nationalized assets promptly after such amounts are collected by subsidiaries of Exterran Corporation until Archrock's subsidiary has received an aggregate amount of such payments equal to the lesser of (x) $150.0 million , less the aggregate amount of installment payments received from PDVSA Gas by Exterran Holdings and its subsidiaries after August 31, 2015 but before November 3, 2015, plus the aggregate amount of all reimbursable expenses incurred by Archrock and its subsidiaries in connection with recovering any default installment payments directly from PDVSA Gas following the completion of the Spin-off or (y) $150.0 million . As contemplated in the separation and distribution agreement, EESLP (in the case of debt offerings) or Exterran Corporation (in the case of equity issuances) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete one or more unsecured debt offerings or equity issuances resulting in aggregate gross cash proceeds of at least $250.0 million on the terms described in the Exterran Corporation Credit Agreement (such transaction, a “qualified capital raise”) on or before the maturity date of Exterran Corporation’s $245.0 million term loan facility, which is currently expected to be the second anniversary of the completion of the Spin-off or as soon as practicable thereafter. In addition, EESLP will contribute to a subsidiary of Archrock the right to receive, promptly following the occurrence of a qualified capital raise, a $25.0 million cash payment.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	3. Discontinued Operations In August 2012, our Venezuelan subsidiary sold its previously nationalized assets to PDVSA Gas, S.A. (“PDVSA Gas”) for a purchase price of approximately $441.7 million . We received installment payments, including an annual charge, totaling $ 18.9 million and $18.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and $37.6 million and $54.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The remaining principal amount due to us of approximately $83 million as of September 30, 2015 , is payable in quarterly cash installments through the third quarter of 2016. We have not recognized amounts payable to us by PDVSA Gas as a receivable and will therefore recognize quarterly payments received in the future as income from discontinued operations in the periods such payments are received. In October 2015, we received an additional installment payment, including an annual charge, of $19.1 million . The proceeds from the sale of the assets are not subject to Venezuelan national taxes due to an exemption allowed under the Venezuelan Reserve Law applicable to expropriation settlements. In addition, and in connection with the sale, we and the Venezuelan government agreed to waive rights to assert certain claims against each other. In connection with the sale of these assets, we have agreed to suspend the arbitration proceeding previously filed by our Spanish subsidiary against Venezuela pending payment in full by PDVSA Gas of the purchase price for these nationalized assets. In December 2013, we abandoned our contract water treatment business as part of our continued emphasis on simplification and focus on our core businesses. The abandonment of this business meets the criteria established for recognition as discontinued operations under GAAP. Therefore, our contract water treatment business is reflected as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements. This business was previously included in our North American contract operations business segment.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Acquisitions	4. Business Acquisitions August 2014 MidCon Acquisition On August 8, 2014, the Partnership completed an acquisition of natural gas compression assets, including a fleet of 162 compressor units, comprising approximately 110,000 horsepower from MidCon Compression, L.L.C. (“MidCon”) for $130.1 million . The purchase price was funded with borrowings under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility. The majority of the horsepower acquired is utilized under a five -year contract operations services agreement with BHP Billiton Petroleum (“BHP Billiton”) to provide compression services. In connection with the acquisition, the contract operations services agreement with BHP Billiton was assigned to the Partnership effective as of the closing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , the Partnership incurred transaction costs of approximately $0.9 million related to this acquisition, which is reflected in other (income) expense, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with the terms of the purchase and sale agreement between the Partnership and MidCon relating to this acquisition, the Partnership directed MidCon to sell a tract of real property and the facility located thereon, a fleet of vehicles, personal property and parts inventory to our wholly-owned subsidiary Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P. (“EESLP”), an indirect parent company of the Partnership, for $4.1 million . The assets acquired by EESLP are used in conjunction with the compression units the Partnership acquired from MidCon to provide compression services. The acquisition of the assets by the Partnership and EESLP from MidCon is referred to as the “August 2014 MidCon Acquisition.” We accounted for the August 2014 MidCon Acquisition using the acquisition method, which requires, among other things, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their fair value on the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration transferred over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation based on estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date (in thousands): Fair Value Inventory $ 2,302 Property, plant and equipment 80,154 Goodwill 3,738 Intangible assets 48,373 Current liabilities (372 ) Purchase price $ 134,195 Property, Plant and Equipment, Goodwill and Intangible Assets Acquired Property, plant and equipment is primarily comprised of compression equipment that will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated average remaining useful life of 24 years. Goodwill of $3.7 million resulting from the acquisition is attributable to the expansion of our services in the region and was assigned to our North America contract operations segment. The goodwill recorded is considered to have an indefinite life and will be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The amount of finite life intangible assets, and their associated average useful lives, was determined based on the period which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows, and consisted of the following: Amount (In thousands) Average Useful Life Customer related $ 21,590 25 years Contract based 26,783 5 years Total acquired identifiable intangible assets $ 48,373 The results of operations attributable to the assets and liabilities acquired in the August 2014 MidCon Acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as part of our North America contract operations segment since the date of acquisition. April 2014 MidCon Acquisition On April 10, 2014, the Partnership completed an acquisition of natural gas compression assets, including a fleet of 337 compressor units, comprising approximately 444,000 horsepower from MidCon for $352.9 million . The purchase price was funded with the net proceeds from the Partnership’s public sale of 6.2 million common units and a portion of the net proceeds from the Partnership’s issuance of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6% senior notes due October 2022 (the “Partnership 2014 Notes”). The compressor units were previously used by MidCon to provide compression services to a subsidiary of Access Midstream Partners LP (“Access”). Effective as of the closing of the acquisition, the Partnership and Access entered into a seven -year contract operations services agreement under which the Partnership provides compression services to Williams Partners, L.P. (formerly Access). During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , the Partnership incurred transaction costs of approximately $1.5 million related to this acquisition, which is reflected in other (income) expense, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with the terms of the purchase and sale agreement between the Partnership and MidCon relating to this acquisition, the Partnership directed MidCon to sell a tract of real property and the facility located thereon, a fleet of vehicles, personal property and parts inventory to our wholly-owned subsidiary EESLP, an indirect parent company of the Partnership, for $7.7 million . The assets acquired by EESLP are used in conjunction with the compression units the Partnership acquired from MidCon to provide compression services. The acquisition of the assets by the Partnership and EESLP from MidCon is referred to as the “April 2014 MidCon Acquisition.” We accounted for the April 2014 MidCon Acquisition using the acquisition method, which requires, among other things, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their fair value on the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation based on estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date (in thousands): Fair Value Inventory $ 4,357 Property, plant and equipment 314,556 Intangible assets 42,474 Current liabilities (827 ) Purchase price $ 360,560 Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets Acquired Property, plant and equipment is primarily comprised of compression equipment that will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated average remaining useful life of 25 years . The amount of finite life intangible assets, and their associated average useful lives, was determined based on the period which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows, and consisted of the following: Amount (In thousands) Average Useful Life Customer related $ 4,701 25 years Contract based 37,773 7 years Total acquired identifiable intangible assets $ 42,474 The results of operations attributable to the assets and liabilities acquired in the April 2014 MidCon Acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as part of our North America contract operations segment since the date of acquisition. Pro Forma Financial Information Pro forma financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 has been included to give effect to the additional assets acquired in the August 2014 MidCon Acquisition and the April 2014 MidCon Acquisition. The August 2014 MidCon Acquisition and the April 2014 MidCon Acquisition are presented in the pro forma financial information as though these transactions occurred as of January 1, 2014. The pro forma financial information reflects the following transactions: As related to the August 2014 MidCon Acquisition: • the Partnership’s acquisition in August 2014 of natural gas compression assets and identifiable intangible assets from MidCon; • our wholly-owned subsidiary EESLP’s, an indirect parent company of the Partnership, acquisition from MidCon, as directed by the Partnership, of a tract of real property and the facility located thereon, a fleet of vehicles, personal property and parts inventory; • the Partnership’s borrowings under its revolving credit facility to pay $130.1 million to MidCon for the August 2014 MidCon Acquisition; and • our borrowings under our revolving credit facility to pay $4.1 million to MidCon for assets acquired by EESLP in the August 2014 MidCon Acquisition. As related to the April 2014 MidCon Acquisition: • the Partnership’s acquisition in April 2014 of natural gas compression assets and identifiable intangible assets from MidCon; • our wholly-owned subsidiary EESLP’s, an indirect parent company of the Partnership, acquisition from MidCon, as directed by the Partnership, of a tract of real property and the facility located thereon, a fleet of vehicles, personal property and parts inventory; • the Partnership’s issuance of 6.2 million common units to the public and approximately 126,000 general partner units to us; • the Partnership’s issuance of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Partnership 2014 Notes; • the Partnership’s use of proceeds from the issuance of common units, general partner units and the Partnership 2014 Notes to pay $352.9 million to MidCon for the April 2014 MidCon Acquisition and to pay down $157.5 million on its revolving credit facility; and • our borrowings under our revolving credit facility to pay $7.7 million to MidCon for assets acquired by EESLP in the April 2014 MidCon Acquisition. The pro forma financial information below is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of our results of operations that would have occurred had each transaction been consummated at the beginning of the period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Investments in Non-Consolidated Affiliates	7. Investments in Non-Consolidated Affiliates Investments in affiliates that are not controlled by us where we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations are accounted for using the equity method. We own a 30.0% interest in WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited and 33.3% interest in WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited, which are joint ventures that provided natural gas compression and injection services in Venezuela. In May 2009, Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (“PDVSA”) assumed control over the assets of our Venezuelan joint ventures and transitioned the operations, including the hiring of their employees, to PDVSA. In March 2011, our Venezuelan joint ventures, together with the Netherlands’ parent company of our joint venture partners, filed a request for the institution of an arbitration proceeding against Venezuela with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes related to the seized assets and investments. In March 2012, our Venezuelan joint ventures sold their assets to PDVSA Gas. We received installment payments, including an annual charge, totaling $5.1 million and $5.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and $15.2 million and $14.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The remaining principal amount due to us of approximately $13 million as of September 30, 2015 , is payable in quarterly cash installments through the first quarter of 2016. We have not recognized amounts payable to us by PDVSA Gas as a receivable and will therefore recognize quarterly payments received in the future as equity in (income) loss of non-consolidated affiliates in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the periods such payments are received. In connection with the sale of our Venezuelan joint ventures’ assets, the joint ventures and our joint venture partners have agreed to suspend their previously filed arbitration proceeding against Venezuela pending payment in full by PDVSA Gas of the purchase price for the assets.

Long-Term Debt Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands): September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Revolving credit facility due July 2017 $ 330,000 $ 375,500 Partnership’s revolving credit facility due May 2018 554,000 460,000 Partnership’s term loan facility due May 2018 150,000 150,000 Partnership’s 6% senior notes due April 2021 (presented net of the unamortized discount of $4.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively) 345,982 345,528 Partnership’s 6% senior notes due October 2022 (presented net of the unamortized discount of $4.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively) 345,184 344,767 7.25% senior notes due December 2018 350,000 350,000 Other, interest at various rates, collateralized by equipment and other assets 738 1,107 Long-term debt $ 2,075,904 $ 2,026,902 Exterran Senior Secured Credit Facility In September 2015, we amended our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the loans made by certain of our lenders (the “Consenting Lenders”) from July 8, 2016 to July 8, 2017, representing a one year extension of the availability period under the Credit Facility. The commitments of the Consenting Lenders total approximately $780.4 million . The maturity date of the loans made by lenders that are not Consenting Lenders will remain July 8, 2016, which was the original maturity date under the Credit Facility. The commitments of these lenders total approximately $119.6 million . As a result of the amendment, the Credit Facility provides for a $900 million revolving credit facility that will be available until July 8, 2016 and a revolving credit facility of approximately $780.4 million that will be available from July 8, 2016 to July 8, 2017. We incurred costs of approximately $0.9 million related to the amendment of the Credit Facility. These costs are included in intangible and other assets, net and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Facility. Borrowings associated with the lenders that are not Consenting Lenders of approximately $ 43.9 million as of September 30, 2015 are classified as long-term because we have the intent and ability to refinance the maturity of these borrowings under the amended Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2015 , we had $330.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $108.5 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2015 , taking into account guarantees through letters of credit, we had undrawn and available capacity of $461.5 million under the Credit Facility. The Partnership Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan In February 2015, the Partnership amended its senior secured credit agreement (the “Partnership Credit Agreement”), which among other things, increased the borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility by $250.0 million to $900.0 million . The Partnership Credit Agreement, which matures in May 2018, also includes a $150.0 million term loan facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Partnership incurred transaction costs of $1.3 million related to the amendment of the Partnership Credit Agreement. These costs were included in intangible and other assets, net, and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the facility. As of September 30, 2015 , the Partnership had undrawn and available capacity of $346.0 million under its revolving credit facility. The Partnership 6% Senior Notes Due October 2022 In April 2014, the Partnership issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Partnership 2014 Notes. The Partnership received net proceeds of $337.4 million , after original issuance discount and issuance costs, from this offering, which it used to fund a portion of the April 2014 MidCon Acquisition and repay borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Partnership incurred $6.9 million in transaction costs related to this issuance. These costs were included in intangible and other assets, net, and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Partnership 2014 Notes. The Partnership 2014 Notes were issued at an original issuance discount of $5.7 million , which is being amortized using the effective interest method at an interest rate of 6.25% over their term. In February 2015, holders of the Partnership 2014 Notes exchanged their Partnership 2014 Notes for registered notes with the same terms. 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes In June 2009, we issued $355.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% convertible senior notes due June 2014 (the “4.25% Notes”). The 4.25% Notes, after taking into consideration dividends declared, were convertible upon the occurrence of certain conditions into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 43.5084 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $22.98 per share of common stock. In June 2014, we completed our redemption of the 4.25% Notes in exchange for $370.0 million in cash and 6.8 million shares of our common stock. In connection with the offering of the 4.25% Notes, we purchased call options on our stock at approximately $22.98 per share of common stock, after taking into consideration dividends declared, and sold warrants on our stock at approximately $32.19 per share of common stock, after taking into consideration dividends declared. These transactions economically adjust the effective conversion price to $32.19 for $325.0 million of the 4.25% Notes. In June 2014, we exercised our call options to acquire 6.5 million shares of our common stock. The cost of the common shares acquired was recorded as treasury stock in our condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the original cost of the call options of $89.4 million . Counterparties to our warrants had the right to exercise the warrants in equal installments for 80 trading days which began in September 2014. During the third quarter of 2014, 498,254 common shares were issued out of treasury stock pursuant to warrants exercised. Archrock Credit Facility On July 10, 2015, we and our wholly owned subsidiary, Archrock Services, L.P., entered into the Archrock Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo, as the administrative agent, and various financial institutions as lenders, which provided for a $300.0 million revolving credit facility. On October 5, 2015, the parties amended the terms of the Archrock Credit Facility to increase the borrowing capacity from $300.0 million to $350.0 million . No borrowings were outstanding under the Archrock Credit Facility as of September 30, 2015 because the Archrock Initial Availability Date had not yet occurred. As a result of the completion of the Spin-off, the Archrock Initial Availability Date was November 3, 2015. See Note 2 for additional information regarding the Archrock Credit Facility. Exterran Corporation Credit Facility On July 10, 2015, EESLP and Exterran Corporation entered into a $750.0 million credit agreement with Wells Fargo, as the administrative agent, and various financial institutions as lenders. On October 5, 2015, the parties amended and restated the terms of the Exterran Corporation Credit Agreement to provide for a new $925.0 million credit facility, consisting of a $680.0 million revolving credit facility and a $245.0 million term loan facility. No borrowings were outstanding under the Exterran Corporation Credit Facility as of September 30, 2015 because the Initial Availability Date had not yet occurred. As a result of the completion of the Spin-off, the Initial Availability Date was November 3, 2015. See Note 2 for additional information regarding the Exterran Corporation Credit Facility.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Accounting for Derivatives	9. Accounting for Derivatives We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in interest rates. We use derivative financial instruments to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with financial activities by managing our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on a portion of our debt obligations. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. Interest Rate Risk During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Partnership entered into an interest rate swap with a notional value of $100.0 million . At September 30, 2015 , the Partnership was a party to interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $500.0 million , pursuant to which it makes fixed payments and receives floating payments. The Partnership entered into these swaps to offset changes in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in the associated variable interest rates. The Partnership’s interest rate swaps expire over varying dates, with interest rate swaps having a notional amount of $300.0 million expiring in May 2018, interest rate swaps having a notional amount of $100.0 million expiring in May 2019 and the remaining interest rate swaps having a notional amount of $100.0 million expiring in May 2020. As of September 30, 2015 , the weighted average effective fixed interest rate on the interest rate swaps was 1.6% . We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedging instruments so that any change in their fair values is recognized as a component of comprehensive income (loss) and is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent the hedge is effective. As the swap terms substantially coincide with the hedged item and are expected to offset changes in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in the variable rate, we currently do not expect a significant amount of ineffectiveness on these hedges. We perform quarterly calculations to determine whether the swap agreements are still effective and to calculate any ineffectiveness. We recorded $0.4 million of interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 due to ineffectiveness related to interest rate swaps. There was no ineffectiveness related to interest rate swaps during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . We estimate that $4.7 million of deferred pre-tax losses attributable to interest rate swaps and included in our accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at September 30, 2015 , will be reclassified into earnings as interest expense at then current values during the next twelve months as the underlying hedged transactions occur. Cash flows from derivatives designated as hedges are classified in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows under the same category as the cash flows from the underlying assets, liabilities or anticipated transactions, unless the derivative contract contains a significant financing element; in this case, the cash settlements for these derivatives are classified as cash flows from financing activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The following tables present the effect of derivative instruments on our consolidated financial position and results of operations (in thousands): September 30, 2015 Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Asset (Liability) Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate swaps Accrued liabilities $ (5,976 ) Interest rate swaps Other long-term liabilities (5,012 ) Total derivatives $ (10,988 ) December 31, 2014 Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Asset (Liability) Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate swaps Intangible and other assets, net $ 712 Interest rate swaps Accrued liabilities (4,958 ) Interest rate swaps Other long-term liabilities (150 ) Total derivatives $ (4,396 ) Pre-tax Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on Derivatives Location of Pre-tax Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into Income (Loss) Pre-tax Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into Income (Loss) Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges: Interest rate swaps Three months ended September 30, 2015 $ (6,100 ) Interest expense $ (2,006 ) Three months ended September 30, 2014 846 Interest expense (1,414 ) Nine months ended September 30, 2015 (12,098 ) Interest expense (5,697 ) Nine months ended September 30, 2014 (2,283 ) Interest expense (3,917 ) The counterparties to the derivative agreements are major international financial institutions. We monitor the credit quality of these financial institutions and do not expect non-performance by any counterparty, although such non-performance could have a material adverse effect on us. The Partnership has no specific collateral posted for its derivative instruments. The counterparties to the interest rate swaps are also lenders under the Partnership’s senior secured credit facility and, in that capacity, share proportionally in the collateral pledged under the related facility.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	10. Fair Value Measurements The accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three broad categories: • Level 1 — Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which we have access at the date of measurement. • Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers. • Level 3 — Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect our own assumptions regarding how market participants would price the asset or liability based on the best available information. The following table presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands): September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Interest rate swaps asset $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 712 $ — Interest rate swaps liability — (10,988 ) — — (5,108 ) — On a quarterly basis, the interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value utilizing a combination of the market approach and income approach to estimate fair value based on forward LIBOR curves. The following table presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands): Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Impaired long-lived assets $ — $ — $ 6,156 $ — $ — $ 2,472 Long-term receivable from the sale of our Canadian Operations — — 5,100 — — — Our estimate of the impaired long-lived assets’ fair value was primarily based on either the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we recently sold and/or a review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to use. We discounted the expected proceeds, net of selling and other carrying costs, using a weighted average disposal period of four years and a weighted average discount rate of 10% and 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. In April 2015, we accepted an offer to early settle the outstanding note receivable due to us relating to the previous sale of our Canadian contract operations and aftermarket services businesses (“Canadian Operations”) for $5.1 million .

Asset Impairment Charges [Abstract]
Long-Lived Asset Impairment	11. Long-Lived Asset Impairment We review long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangibles that are being amortized, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, including the removal of compressor units from our active fleet, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we reviewed the future deployment of our idle compression assets used in our North America contract operations and international contract operations segments for units that were not of the type, configuration, condition, make or model that are cost efficient to maintain and operate. Based on this review, we determined that approximately 155 and 315 idle compressor units totaling approximately 54,000 and 136,000 horsepower would be retired from the active fleet during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively. The retirement of these units from the active fleet triggered a review of these assets for impairment. As a result, we recorded an $11.9 million and a $37.7 million asset impairment to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively. The fair value of each unit was estimated based on either the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we recently sold and/or a review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to use. In connection with our fleet review during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we evaluated for impairment idle units that had been culled from our fleet in prior years and were available for sale. Based upon that review, we reduced the expected proceeds from disposition for certain of the remaining units. This resulted in an additional impairment of $11.8 million and $12.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively, to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value. During the first quarter of 2015, we evaluated a long-term note receivable from the purchaser of our Canadian Operations for impairment. This review was triggered by an offer from the purchaser of our Canadian Operations to prepay the note receivable at a discount to its current book value. The fair value of the note receivable as of March 31, 2015 was based on the amount offered by the purchaser of our Canadian Operations to prepay the note receivable. The difference between the book value of the note receivable at March 31, 2015 and its fair value resulted in the recording of an impairment of long-lived assets of $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . In April 2015, we accepted the offer to early settle this note receivable. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , we evaluated the future deployment of our idle fleet and determined to retire and either sell or re-utilize the key components of approximately 70 and 240 idle compressor units, respectively, representing approximately 26,000 and 72,000 horsepower, respectively, previously used to provide services in our North America contract operations segment. As a result, we performed an impairment review and recorded a $7.9 million and $21.5 million asset impairment to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively. The fair value of each unit was estimated based on either the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we recently sold and/or a review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to use. In connection with our fleet review during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , we evaluated for impairment idle units that had been culled from our fleet in prior years and were available for sale. Based upon that review, we reduced the expected proceeds from disposition for certain of the remaining units. This resulted in an additional impairment of $4.5 million during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value.

Restructuring and Other Charges

Restructuring and Other Charges	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2015
Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring and Other Charges	12. Restructuring and Other Charges As discussed in Note 2 , in November 2014, we announced that our board of directors had authorized management to pursue a plan to separate our international contract operations, international aftermarket services and global fabrication businesses into an independent, publicly traded company. On November 3, 2015, we completed the Spin-off of Exterran Corporation. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we incurred $6.4 million and $24.8 million , respectively, of costs associated with the Spin-off which were primarily related to legal, consulting, audit and professional fees, a one-time cash signing bonus paid to an employee and non-cash inventory write-downs. Non-cash inventory write-downs, which primarily related to the decentralization of shared inventory components between the North America contract operations business and the international contract operations business, totaled $5.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , of which approximately $4.2 million related to our international contract operations segment, $1.0 million related to our North America contract operations segment and $0.5 million related to our fabrication segment. The separation costs relating to expenditures settled in cash have not been allocated to the segments because they consist mostly of professional service fees within the corporate, finance and legal functions. The costs incurred in conjunction with the Spin-off are included in restructuring and other charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We expect to incur additional restructuring costs as a result of the Spin-off ranging from approximately $20 million to $30 million that is primarily related to legal, consulting, audit and professional fees and retention payments to certain employees. The range of additional restructuring costs excludes costs that may be incurred by Exterran Corporation after the completion of the Spin-off. As of September 30, 2015 , we had an accrued liability balance of $1.1 million for planned separation charges incurred. As a result of the current market conditions in North America, combined with the impact of lower international activity due to customer budget cuts driven by lower oil prices, in the second quarter of 2015 we announced a cost reduction plan primarily focused on workforce reductions and the reorganization of certain fabrication facilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we incurred $ 5.6 million and $11.6 million , respectively, of restructuring and other charges as a result of this plan. Included in these amounts are $ 5.6 million and $7.6 million recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively, related to termination benefits and consulting fees and $4.0 million recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to non-cash write-downs of inventory. The non-cash inventory write-downs were the result of our decision to exit the manufacturing of cold weather packages, which had historically been performed at a fabrication facility in North America we recently decided to close. These charges are reflected as restructuring and other charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We currently estimate that we will incur additional charges with respect to this cost reduction plan of approximately $2.5 million . We expect the majority of the estimated additional charges will result in cash expenditures. As of September 30, 2015 , we had an accrued liability balance of $ 0.5 million for charges incurred relating to the cost reduction plan. The following table summarizes the changes to our accrued liability balance related to restructuring and other charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 (in thousands): Spin-off Cost Reduction Plan Total Beginning balance at January 1, 2015 $ 1,089 $ — $ 1,089 Additions for costs expensed 24,810 11,582 36,392 Less non-cash expense (5,700 ) (4,007 ) (9,707 ) Reductions for payments (19,055 ) (7,055 ) (26,110 ) Ending balance at September 30, 2015 $ 1,144 $ 520 $ 1,664 The following table summarizes the components of charges included in restructuring and other charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Legal fees $ 1,080 $ 3,960 Consulting, audit and professional fees 3,520 12,046 Employee Signing bonus 2,000 2,000 Non-cash inventory write-downs — 9,707 Employee termination benefits 4,213 6,246 Other 1,185 2,433 Total restructuring and other charges $ 11,998 $ 36,392 In January 2014, we announced a plan to centralize our make-ready operations to improve the cost and efficiency of our shops and further enhance the competitiveness of our fleet of compressors. As part of this plan, we examined both recent and anticipated changes in the North America market, including the throughput demand of our shops and the addition of new equipment to our fleet. To better align our costs and capabilities with the current market, we closed several of our make-ready shops. The centralization of our make-ready operations was completed in the second quarter of 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , we incurred $5.4 million of restructuring and other charges primarily related to termination benefits and a non-cash write-down of inventory associated with the centralization of our make-ready operations. These charges are reflected as restructuring and other charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and are related to our North America contract operations and aftermarket services segments.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	13. Income Taxes As of December 31, 2014 , we had $136.9 million in foreign tax credit carryforward deferred tax assets. We recorded a valuation allowance of $7.2 million against these deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2014 for foreign tax credits that expire in the year 2015. As of September 30, 2015, these deferred tax assets related to foreign tax credit carryforwards that can be used to reduce our income taxes payable in future periods. The foreign tax credit carryforwards will expire if they are not used within the 10 -year carryforward period. Had the Spin-off not been completed, we consider it more likely than not that we would have had sufficient taxable income and foreign source taxable income in the future that would have allowed us to realize these deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance. However, upon completion of the Spin-off many of the foreign tax credit carryforwards will ultimately expire unused. Therefore, since we do not expect Exterran Corporation to generate sufficient taxable income and foreign source taxable income following the Spin-off, an additional valuation allowance ranging from $45 million to $65 million to reduce our foreign tax credit carryforward deferred tax assets is expected to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Stock-Based Compensation	14. Stock-Based Compensation Stock Incentive Plan In April 2013, we adopted the Exterran Holdings, Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) to provide for the granting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units, other stock-based awards and dividend equivalent rights to employees, directors and consultants of Exterran. Under the 2013 Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to awards is 6,500,000 . Each option and stock appreciation right granted counts as one share against the aggregate share limit, and any share subject to a stock settled award other than a stock option, stock appreciation right or other award for which the recipient pays intrinsic value counts as 1.75 shares against the aggregate share limit. Awards granted under the 2013 Plan that are subsequently cancelled, terminated or forfeited are available for future grant. Cash settled awards are not counted against the aggregate share limit. Upon effectiveness of the 2013 Plan, no additional grants may be made under the Exterran Holdings, Inc. 2007 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) or the Exterran Holdings, Inc. 2011 Employment Inducement Long-Term Equity Plan (the “Employment Inducement Plan”). Previous grants made under the 2007 Plan and the Employment Inducement Plan will continue to be governed by their respective plans. Stock Options Stock options are granted at fair market value at the grant date, are exercisable according to the vesting schedule established by the compensation committee of our board of directors in its sole discretion and expire no later than seven years after the grant date. Stock options generally vest one-third per year on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. The following table presents stock option activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 : Stock Options (in thousands) Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share Weighted Average Remaining Life (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Options outstanding, January 1, 2015 1,495 $ 33.39 Granted — — Exercised (90 ) 12.29 Cancelled (300 ) 59.91 Options outstanding, September 30, 2015 1,105 27.91 2.6 $ 2,207 Options exercisable, September 30, 2015 984 27.08 2.4 2,207 Intrinsic value is the difference between the market value of our stock and the exercise price of each stock option multiplied by the number of stock options outstanding for those stock options where the market value exceeds their exercise price. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $1.5 million . As of September 30, 2015 , we expect $0.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 1.2 years . Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, Cash Settled Restricted Stock Units and Cash Settled Performance Units For grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units, we recognize compensation expense over the vesting period equal to the fair value of our common stock at the grant date. Our restricted stock and certain of our stock settled restricted stock units include nonforfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents. We remeasure the fair value of cash settled restricted stock units and cash settled performance units and record a cumulative adjustment of the expense previously recognized. Our obligation related to the cash settled restricted stock units and cash settled performance units is reflected as a liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, cash settled restricted stock units and cash settled performance units generally vest one-third per year on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. The following table presents restricted stock, restricted stock unit, performance unit, cash settled restricted stock unit and cash settled performance unit activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 : Shares (in thousands) Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share Non-vested awards, January 1, 2015 1,170 $ 27.37 Granted 697 31.93 Vested (731 ) 23.89 Cancelled (35 ) 33.25 Non-vested awards, September 30, 2015 (1) 1,101 32.38 ________________________________ (1) Non-vested awards as of September 30, 2015 are comprised of 57,000 cash settled restricted stock units and cash settled performance units and 1,044,000 restricted shares, restricted stock units and performance units. As of September 30, 2015 , we expect $24.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, cash settled restricted stock units and cash settled performance units to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.0 years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan In August 2007, we adopted the Exterran Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which is intended to provide employees with an opportunity to participate in our long-term performance and success through the purchase of shares of common stock at a price that may be less than fair market value. The ESPP is designed to comply with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each quarter, an eligible employee may elect to withhold a portion of his or her salary up to the lesser of $25,000 per year or 10% of his or her eligible pay to purchase shares of our common stock at a price equal to 85% to 100% of the fair market value of the stock as of the first trading day of the quarter, the last trading day of the quarter or the lower of the first trading day of the quarter and the last trading day of the quarter, as the compensation committee of our board of directors may determine. The ESPP will terminate on the date that all shares of common stock authorized for sale under the ESPP have been purchased, unless it is extended. Due to a plan to separate our international contract operations, international aftermarket services and global fabrication businesses into an independent, publicly traded company (as discussed in Note 2 ), the ESPP was suspended after the second quarter 2015 purchase period. Partnership Long-Term Incentive Plan The Partnership’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Partnership Plan”) was adopted in October 2006 for employees, directors and consultants of the Partnership, us and our respective affiliates. A maximum of 1,035,378 common units, common unit options, restricted units and phantom units are available under the Partnership Plan. The Partnership Plan is administered by the board of directors of Exterran GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership’s general partner, or a committee thereof (the “Partnership Plan Administrator”). Phantom units are notional units that entitle the grantee to receive a common unit upon the vesting of a phantom unit or, at the discretion of the Partnership Plan Administrator, cash equal to the fair market value of a common unit. Phantom units granted under the Partnership Plan may include nonforfeitable tandem distribution equivalent rights to receive cash distributions on unvested phantom units in the quarter in which distributions are paid on common units. Phantom units generally vest one-third per year on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. Partnership Phantom Units The following table presents phantom unit activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 : Phantom Units (in thousands) Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Unit Phantom units outstanding, January 1, 2015 92 $ 27.38 Granted 45 24.87 Vested (52 ) 25.67 Phantom units outstanding, September 30, 2015 85 27.10 As of September 30, 2015 , we expect $1.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested phantom units to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 1.8 years .

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	16. Commitments and Contingencies We have issued the following guarantees that are not recorded on our accompanying balance sheet (dollars in thousands): Term Maximum Potential Undiscounted Payments as of September 30, 2015 Performance guarantees through letters of credit(1) 2015-2021 $ 173,502 Standby letters of credit 2015-2016 10,950 Commercial letters of credit 2016 3,607 Bid bonds and performance bonds(1) 2015-2023 42,016 Maximum potential undiscounted payments $ 230,075 ________________________________ (1) We have issued guarantees to third parties to ensure performance of our obligations, some of which may be fulfilled by third parties. As part of an acquisition in 2001, we may be required to make contingent payments of up to $46 million to the seller, depending on our realization of certain U.S. federal tax benefits through the year 2015. To date, we have not realized any such benefits that would require a payment and we do not anticipate realizing any such benefits that would require a payment before the year 2016. See Note 3 and Note 7 for a discussion of our gain contingencies related to assets that were expropriated in Venezuela. In addition to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, we are subject to a number of taxes that are not income-based. As many of these taxes are subject to audit by the taxing authorities, it is possible that an audit could result in additional taxes due. We accrue for such additional taxes when we determine that it is probable that we have incurred a liability and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the liability. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , we had accrued $5.2 million and $9.2 million , respectively, for the outcomes of non-income based tax audits. We do not expect that the ultimate resolutions of these audits will result in a material variance from the amounts accrued. We do not accrue for unasserted claims for tax audits unless we believe the assertion of a claim is probable, it is probable that it will be determined that the claim is owed and we can reasonably estimate the claim or range of the claim. We do not have any unasserted claims from non-income based tax audits that we have determined are probable of assertion. We also believe the likelihood is remote that the impact of potential unasserted claims from non-income based tax audits could be material to our consolidated financial position, but it is possible that the resolution of future audits could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the resolution occurs. Our business can be hazardous, involving unforeseen circumstances such as uncontrollable flows of natural gas or well fluids and fires or explosions. As is customary in our industry, we review our safety equipment and procedures and carry insurance against some, but not all, risks of our business. Our insurance coverage includes property damage, general liability and commercial automobile liability and other coverage we believe is appropriate. In addition, we have a minimal amount of insurance on our offshore assets. We believe that our insurance coverage is customary for the industry and adequate for our business; however, losses and liabilities not covered by insurance would increase our costs. Additionally, we are substantially self-insured for workers’ compensation and employee group health claims in view of the relatively high per-incident deductibles we absorb under our insurance arrangements for these risks. Losses up to the deductible amounts are estimated and accrued based upon known facts, historical trends and industry averages. Litigation and Claims In 2011, the Texas Legislature enacted changes related to the appraisal of natural gas compressors for ad valorem tax purposes by expanding the definitions of “Heavy Equipment Dealer” and “Heavy Equipment” effective from the beginning of 2012 (the “Heavy Equipment Statutes”). Under the revised statutes, we believe we are a Heavy Equipment Dealer, that our natural gas compressors are Heavy Equipment and that we, therefore, are required to file our ad valorem tax renditions under this new methodology. A large number of appraisal review boards denied our position, and we filed petitions for review in the appropriate district courts. As of September 30, 2015, only five of these cases have advanced to the point of trial or submission of summary judgment motions on the merits. During 2013 and 2014 , we were party to three Heavy Equipment Statutes cases tried and completed in Texas state district courts. In each case the court held that the revised Heavy Equipment Statutes apply to natural gas compressors. However, in each case the court further held that the revised Heavy Equipment Statutes are unconstitutional as applied to natural gas compressors, which is favorable to the county appraisal districts. We continue to believe that the revised statutes are constitutional as applied to natural gas compressors, and we appealed the courts’ decisions in all three cases. On August 25, 2015, the Fourteenth Court of Appeals in Houston, Texas issued a ruling in the first appeal, stating that additional evidence is required to determine whether the Heavy Equipment Statutes is constitutional. The case was remanded to the district court for further proceedings. We plan to file a petition asking the Texas Supreme Court to review this decision. On September 23, 2015, the Eighth Court of Appeals in El Paso, Texas decided the other two appellate cases in our favor by affirming the district court’s ruling that the Heavy Equipment Statutes apply to natural gas compressors, and overturning the district court’s ruling that the Heavy Equipment Statutes are unconstitutional as applied to natural gas compressors. As of September 30, 2015, two cases still pending in district courts have reached the point of submission on motions for summary judgment. In the first case, both parties filed motions for summary judgment, and we have yet to receive the court’s decision. In the second case, the court denied both parties respective motions for summary judgment concerning the 2012 tax year, and consolidated the 2012 tax year case with a 2013 tax year case. On August 27, 2015, the court abated the consolidated case until the final resolution of the appellate cases considering the constitutionality of the Heavy Equipment Statutes, or further order of the court. As a result of the new methodology, our ad valorem tax expense (which is reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense)) includes a benefit of $11.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . Since the change in methodology became effective in 2012, we have recorded an aggregate benefit of $38.3 million as of September 30, 2015 , of which approximately $10.2 million has been agreed to by a number of appraisal review boards and county appraisal districts and $28.1 million has been disputed and is currently in litigation. Recognizing the similarity of the issues and that these cases will ultimately be resolved by the Texas appellate courts, we have reached, or intend to reach, agreements with some of the appraisal districts to stay or abate certain of these pending district court cases. If we are unsuccessful in our litigation with the appraisal districts, we would be required to pay ad valorem taxes up to the aggregate benefit we have recorded, and the additional ad valorem tax payments may also be subject to substantial penalties and interest. Also, if we are unsuccessful in our litigation with the appraisal districts, or if legislation is enacted in Texas that repeals or alters the Heavy Equipment Statutes such that in the future we do not qualify as a Heavy Equipment Dealer or our compressors do not qualify as Heavy Equipment, then we would likely be required to pay these ad valorem taxes under the old methodology going forward, which would increase our quarterly cost of sales expense up to approximately the amount of our then most recent quarterly benefit recorded, and as a result impact our future results of operations and cash flows. In the ordinary course of business, we are also involved in various other pending or threatened legal actions. While management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, it believes that any ultimate liability arising from any of these other actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation and arbitration proceedings, we cannot provide assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding to which we are a party will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Developments	17. Recent Accounting Developments In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update which will require an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. For public business entities, this update is effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued an update that addresses the presentation of debt issuance costs. The update requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. In August 2015, the FASB issued a subsequent update which clarifies that the guidance in the previous update does not apply to line-of-credit arrangements. Per the subsequent update, line-of-credit arrangements will continue to defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred debt costs ratably over the term of the arrangement. Upon transition, an entity is required to comply with the applicable disclosures for a change in an accounting principle. The update will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. Other than the revised balance sheet presentation of debt issuance costs from an asset to a deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability and related disclosures, the adoption of this update is not expected to have an impact on our financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued an update which revises the consolidation model. The update modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. The update will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on our financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued an update related to revenue recognition. The update outlines a single comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes the most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The update also requires disclosures enabling users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The update will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within the reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this update. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the update on our financial statements.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Reportable Segments	18. Reportable Segments We manage our business segments primarily based upon the type of product or service provided. We have four reportable segments: North America contract operations, international contract operations, aftermarket services and fabrication. The North America and international contract operations segments primarily provide natural gas compression services, production and processing equipment services and maintenance services to meet specific customer requirements on Exterran-owned assets. The aftermarket services segment provides a full range of services to support the surface production, compression and processing needs of customers, from parts sales and normal maintenance services to full operation of a customer’s owned assets. The fabrication segment provides (i) design, engineering, fabrication, installation and sale of natural gas compression units and accessories and equipment used in the production, treating and processing of crude oil and natural gas and (ii) engineering, procurement and fabrication services related to the manufacturing of critical process equipment for refinery and petrochemical facilities, the fabrication of tank farms and evaporators and brine heaters for desalination plants. We evaluate the performance of our segments based on gross margin for each segment. Revenue includes only sales to external customers. We do not include intersegment sales when we evaluate our segments’ performance. The following tables present revenue and other financial information by reportable segment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands): Three Months Ended North America Contract Operations International Contract Operations Aftermarket Services Fabrication Reportable Segments Total September 30, 2015: Revenue from external customers $ 191,692 $ 114,104 $ 82,443 $ 261,262 $ 649,501 Gross margin(1) 113,765 72,990 18,670 34,337 239,762 September 30, 2014: Revenue from external customers $ 191,000 $ 124,355 $ 96,005 $ 312,472 $ 723,832 Gross margin(1) 108,547 76,372 20,495 61,071 266,485 Nine Months Ended North America Contract Operations International Contract Operations Aftermarket Services Fabrication Reportable Segments Total September 30, 2015: Revenue from external customers $ 592,212 $ 350,045 $ 260,133 $ 860,025 $ 2,062,415 Gross margin(1) 350,385 219,847 60,255 125,128 755,615 September 30, 2014: Revenue from external customers $ 529,463 $ 369,787 $ 284,412 $ 922,448 $ 2,106,110 Gross margin(1) 298,415 234,270 61,784 161,476 755,945 ________________________________ (1) Gross margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, is reconciled, in total, to net income (loss), its most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, below. We define gross margin as total revenue less cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense). Gross margin is included as a supplemental disclosure because it is a primary measure used by our management to evaluate the results of revenue and cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), which are key components of our operations. As an indicator of our operating performance, gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our gross margin may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate gross margin in the same manner.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Transactions Related to the Partnership	19. Transactions Related to the Partnership In May 2015, the Partnership entered into an At-The-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (the “Sales Agents”). Pursuant to the ATM Agreement, the Partnership may sell from time to time through the Sales Agents common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million . Under the terms of the ATM Agreement, the Partnership may also sell common units from time to time to any Sales Agent as principal for its own account at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. Any sale of common units to a Sales Agent as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate terms agreement between the Partnership and such Sales Agent. The Partnership intends to use the net proceeds of this offering, after deducting the Sales Agents’ commission and its offering expenses, for general partnership purposes, which may include, among other things paying or refinancing a portion of its outstanding debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Partnership sold 49,774 common units for net proceeds of $1.2 million pursuant to the ATM Agreement. In April 2015, we sold to the Partnership contract operations customer service agreements with 60 customers and a fleet of 238 compressor units used to provide compression services under those agreements, comprising approximately 148,000 horsepower, or 3% (by then available horsepower) of our and the Partnership’s combined U.S. contract operations business. The assets sold also included 179 compressor units, comprising approximately 66,000 horsepower, previously leased by us to the Partnership. Total consideration for the transaction was approximately $102.3 million , excluding transaction costs, and consisted of the Partnership’s issuance to us of approximately 4.0 million common units and approximately 80,000 general partner units. Based on the terms of the contribution, conveyance and assumption agreement, the common units and general partner units, including incentive distribution rights, we received from this sale were not entitled to receive a cash distribution relating to the quarter ended March 31, 2015. As a result, adjustments were made to noncontrolling interest, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), deferred income taxes and additional paid-in capital to reflect our new ownership percentage in the Partnership. In April 2014, the Partnership sold, pursuant to a public underwritten offering, 6,210,000 common units, including 810,000 common units pursuant to an over-allotment option. The Partnership received net proceeds of $169.5 million , after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, which it used to fund a portion of the April 2014 MidCon Acquisition. In connection with this sale and as permitted under its partnership agreement, the Partnership issued and sold to Exterran General Partner, L.P. (“GP”), our wholly-owned subsidiary and the Partnership’s general partner, in exchange for $3.6 million , approximately 126,000 general partner units to maintain GP’s approximate 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership. As a result, adjustments were made to noncontrolling interest, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), deferred income taxes and additional paid-in capital to reflect our new ownership percentage in the Partnership. The following table presents the effects of changes from net income attributable to Exterran stockholders and changes in our equity interest of the Partnership on our equity attributable to Exterran stockholders (in thousands): Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 Net income attributable to Exterran stockholders $ 24,449 $ 79,023 Increase in Exterran stockholders’ additional paid-in capital for change in ownership of Partnership units 18,386 74,521 Change from net income attributable to Exterran stockholders and transfers to/from the noncontrolling interest $ 42,835 $ 153,544

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information	20. Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information Exterran Holdings, Inc. (“Parent”) is the issuer of our 7.25% senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million due December 2018 (the “7.25% Notes”). EESLP, EES Leasing LLC, EXH GP LP LLC and EXH MLP LP LLC (each a 100% owned subsidiary; together, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), have agreed to fully and unconditionally (subject to customary release provisions) on a joint and several senior unsecured basis guarantee Parent’s obligations relating to the 7.25% Notes. As a result of these guarantees, we are presenting the following condensed consolidating financial information pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. These schedules are presented using the equity method of accounting for all periods presented. Under this method, investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for our share in the subsidiaries’ cumulative results of operations, capital contributions and distributions and other changes in equity. Elimination entries relate primarily to the elimination of investments in subsidiaries and associated intercompany balances and transactions. The Other Subsidiaries column includes financial information for those subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 7.25% Notes.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	21. Subsequent Events On October 5, 2015, we and our wholly owned subsidiary, Archrock Services, L.P., amended the terms of the Archrock Credit Agreement to increase the borrowing capacity from $300.0 million to $350.0 million . Availability under the Archrock Credit Facility was subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including (i) the payoff and termination of our existing Credit Facility and (ii) the consummation of the Spin-off on or before January 4, 2016 (the date on which those conditions are satisfied is referred to as the “Archrock Initial Availability Date”). As a result of the completion of the Spin-off, the Archrock Initial Availability Date was November 3, 2015. See Note 2 and discussion below for additional information regarding the Spin-off. On October 5, 2015, EESLP and Exterran Corporation amended and restated the Exterran Corporation Credit Agreement to provide for a new $925.0 million credit facility, consisting of a $680.0 million revolving credit facility and a $245.0 million term loan facility. Availability under the Exterran Corporation Credit Facility was subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including the consummation of the Spin-off on or before January 4, 2016 (the date on which those conditions are satisfied is referred to as the “Initial Availability Date”). As a result of the completion of the Spin-off, the Initial Availability Date was November 3, 2015. See Note 2 and discussion below for additional information regarding the Spin-off. In October 2015, we received an additional installment payment, including an annual charge, of $19.1 million from PDVSA Gas relating to the 2012 sale of our Venezuelan subsidiary’s previously nationalized assets. As we have not recognized amounts payable to us by PDVSA Gas relating to the 2012 sale of our Venezuelan subsidiary’s previously nationalized assets as a receivable but rather as income from discontinued operations in the periods such payments are received, the installment payment received in October 2015 will be recognized as income from discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2015. On November 3, 2015, we completed the Spin-off of our international contract operations, international aftermarket services and global fabrication businesses into an independent, publicly traded company. Upon the completion of the Spin-off, we and Exterran Corporation are independent, publicly traded companies with separate public ownership, boards of directors and management, and we continue to own and operate the U.S. contract operations and U.S. aftermarket services businesses that we previously owned. Effective on November 3, 2015, we were renamed Archrock, Inc. and beginning on November 4, 2015 we trade on the New York Stock exchange under the symbol “AROC.” Additionally, we continue to hold interests in the Partnership, which include the sole general partner interest and certain limited partner interests, as well as all of the incentive distribution rights in the Partnership. Effective on November 3, 2015, the Partnership was renamed Archrock Partners, L.P. and trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “APLP.” To effect the Spin-off, we distributed on the Distribution Date, on a pro rata basis, all of the shares of Exterran Corporation common stock to our stockholders as of the Record Date. Exterran Holdings shareholders received one share of Exterran Corporation common stock for every two shares of our common stock held at the close of business on the Record Date. Financial results of Exterran Corporation prior to the Spin-off will be reported as discontinued operations beginning in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2015. In connection with the completion of the Spin-off, we received $532.6 million from subsidiaries of Exterran Corporation in accordance with the separation and distribution agreement. On November 3, 2015, we terminated our existing Credit Facility and repaid all borrowings and accrued and unpaid interest outstanding on the repayment date. On November 4, 2015, we called the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under our 7.25% Notes. The cash received from Exterran Corporation and borrowings under our Archrock Credit Facility were used to repay the outstanding borrowings and accrued but unpaid interest on our existing Credit Facility and will be used to redeem our 7.25% Notes, which are expected to be redeemed 30 days after the call date.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Exterran Common Stockholders Per Common Share	Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Exterran Common Stockholders Per Common Share Basic income (loss) attributable to Exterran common stockholders per common share is computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, basic income (loss) attributable to Exterran common stockholders per common share is determined by dividing income (loss) attributable to Exterran common stockholders after deducting amounts allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Participating securities include our unvested restricted stock and certain stock settled restricted stock units that have nonforfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid. During periods of net loss, no effect is given to participating securities because they do not have a contractual obligation to participate in our losses. Diluted income (loss) attributable to Exterran common stockholders per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental common stock equivalents attributed to outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock, restricted stock units, stock to be issued pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan and convertible senior notes, unless their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive Income (Loss) Components of comprehensive income (loss) are net income (loss) and all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from transactions with owners. Our accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, net of tax, that are designated as cash flow hedges to the extent the hedge is effective, amortization of terminated interest rate swaps and adjustments related to changes in our ownership of the Partnership.
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments Our financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, receivables, payables, interest rate swaps and debt. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying amounts as reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our fixed rate debt was estimated based on quoted market yields in inactive markets, which are Level 2 inputs. The fair value of our floating rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on interest rates offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, which are Level 3 inputs. See Note 10 for additional information regarding the fair value hierarchy.
Recent Accounting Developments	In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update which will require an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. For public business entities, this update is effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued an update that addresses the presentation of debt issuance costs. The update requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. In August 2015, the FASB issued a subsequent update which clarifies that the guidance in the previous update does not apply to line-of-credit arrangements. Per the subsequent update, line-of-credit arrangements will continue to defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred debt costs ratably over the term of the arrangement. Upon transition, an entity is required to comply with the applicable disclosures for a change in an accounting principle. The update will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. Other than the revised balance sheet presentation of debt issuance costs from an asset to a deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability and related disclosures, the adoption of this update is not expected to have an impact on our financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued an update which revises the consolidation model. The update modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. The update will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on our financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued an update related to revenue recognition. The update outlines a single comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes the most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The update also requires disclosures enabling users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The update will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within the reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this update. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the update on our financial statements.
