Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation We are an energy infrastructure company with a pure-play focus on midstream natural gas compression. We are the leading provider of natural gas compression services to customers in the oil and natural gas industry throughout the U.S. and a leading supplier of aftermarket services to customers that own compression equipment in the U.S. We operate in two business segments: contract operations and aftermarket services. Our predominant segment, contract operations, primarily includes designing, sourcing, owning, installing, operating, servicing, repairing and maintaining our owned fleet of natural gas compression equipment to provide natural gas compression services to our customers. In our aftermarket services business, we sell parts and components and provide operations, maintenance, overhaul and reconfiguration services to customers who own compression equipment. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the 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 of normal recurring adjustments, which 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 2019 Form 10-K, which contains a more comprehensive summary of our accounting policies. The interim results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Developments	2. Recent Accounting Developments Accounting Standards Updates Implemented Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which changes the impairment model for financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, and requires entities to use a new current expected credit loss model that results in recognition of expected losses over the contractual life of an asset. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption resulted in a $0.2 million decrease in our allowance for credit losses and a corresponding pre-tax cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2020. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Our financial assets measured at amortized cost consist of cash equivalents and trade receivables from revenue transactions within the scope of ASC 606 Revenue. We believe our temporary cash investments have a zero loss expectation because we maintain minimal balances in our cash investment accounts and have no history of loss. Trade accounts receivable are due from companies of varying size engaged principally in oil and natural gas activities throughout the U.S. We review the financial condition of customers prior to extending credit and generally do not obtain collateral for trade receivables. Payment terms are on a short-term basis and in accordance with industry practice. We consider this credit risk to be limited due to these companies’ financial resources, the nature of the products and services we provide and the terms of our customer agreements. Due to the short-term nature of our trade receivables, we consider the amortized cost to be the same as the carrying amount of the receivable, excluding the allowance for credit losses. We recognize an allowance for credit losses when a receivable is recorded, even when the risk of loss is remote. We utilize an aging schedule to determine our allowance for credit losses, and measure expected credit losses on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. We rely primarily on ratings assigned by external rating agencies and credit monitoring services to assess credit risk and aggregate customers first by low, medium or high risk asset pools, and then by delinquency status. We also consider the internal risk associated with geographic location and the services we provide to the customer when determining asset pools. If a customer does not share similar risk characteristics with other customers, we evaluate the customer’s outstanding trade receivables for expected credit losses on an individual basis. Trade receivables evaluated individually are not included in our collective assessment. Each reporting period, we reassess our customers’ risk profiles and determine the appropriate asset pool classification, or perform individual assessments of expected credit losses, based on the customers’ risk characteristics at the reporting date. The contractual life of our trade receivables is primarily 30 days based on the payment terms specified in the contract. Contract operations services are generally billed monthly at the beginning of the month in which service is being provided. Aftermarket services billings typically occur when parts are delivered or service is completed. Loss rates are separately determined for each asset pool based on the length of time a trade receivable has been outstanding. We analyze two years of internal historical loss data, including the effects of prepayments, write-offs and subsequent recoveries, to determine our historical loss experience. Our historical loss information is a relevant data point for estimating credit losses, as the data closely aligns with trade receivables due from our customers. Ratings assigned by external rating agencies and credit monitoring services consider past performance and forecasts of future economic conditions in assessing credit risk. We routinely update our historical loss data to reflect our customers’ current risk profile, to ensure the historical data and loss rates are relevant to the pool of assets for which we are estimating expected credit losses. Judgement is used to determine the expected credit loss for customers that do not share similar risk characteristics with other customers, based on customer specific items such as legal proceedings, past experience with the customer and/or ongoing customer negotiations. The following table summarizes the changes in our allowance for credit losses balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 2,210 Impact of adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 ​ ​ (216) Provision for credit losses ​ ​ 2,235 Write-offs charged against allowance ​ ​ (1,006) Balance at September 30, 2020 ​ $ 3,223 ​ Fair Value Measurements On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-13, which amends the required fair value measurements disclosures related to valuation techniques and inputs used, uncertainty in measurement and changes in measurements applied. These amendments resulted in new, prospective disclosures of the range and weighted average of the significant unobservable inputs used to develop our Level 3 fair value measurements related to our idle and previously-culled compressors. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Income Taxes On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2019-12, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by, among other things, removing certain exceptions related to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the year-to-date loss methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition for deferred tax liabilities on outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also clarifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes in order to improve consistency of application. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Implemented Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Entities may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. Modifications to our interest rate swap and Credit Facility agreements during the effective period of this amendment will be assessed and if the modifications meet the criteria for the optional expedients and exceptions, we intend to adopt ASU 2020-04 and apply the amendments as applicable.

Business Transactions	3. Business Transactions July 2020 Disposition On July 9, 2020, we completed the sale of the turbocharger business included within our aftermarket services segment . In connection with the sale, we entered into a supply agreement to purchase a minimum amount of turbocharger goods and services over a two-year term. In addition to cash of $9.5 million received upon closing, an additional $3.0 million is due on the first anniversary of the closing date and $3.5 million will be received through the purchase of turbocharger goods and services under the supply agreement. We recognized a gain on the sale of $9.3 million in gain on sale of assets, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. March 2020 Disposition On March 1, 2020, we completed the sale of certain contract operations customer service agreements and approximately 200 compressors, comprising approximately 35,000 horsepower, used to provide compression services under those agreements as well as other assets used to support the operations. We allocated customer and contract-related intangible assets and goodwill based on a ratio of the horsepower sold relative to the total horsepower of the asset group. We recognized a gain on the sale of $3.2 million in gain on sale of assets, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Elite Acquisition On August 1, 2019, we completed the Elite Acquisition whereby we acquired from Elite Compression substantially all of its assets, including a fleet of predominantly large compressors comprising approximately 430,000 horsepower, vehicles, real property and inventory, and certain liabilities for aggregate consideration consisting of $214.0 million in cash and 21.7 million shares of common stock with an acquisition date fair value of $225.9 million. The cash portion of the acquisition was funded with borrowings on the Credit Facility. The Elite Acquisition was accounted for 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 the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Accounts receivable $ 9,007 Inventory ​ 7,987 Other current assets ​ 608 Property, plant and equipment ​ 286,158 Operating lease ROU assets ​ 682 Goodwill ​ 100,598 Intangible assets ​ 40,237 Accounts payable, trade ​ (2,079) Accrued liabilities ​ (2,973) Operating lease liabilities ​ (326) Purchase price ​ $ 439,899 ​ Our valuation methodology and significant inputs for fair value measurements are detailed by asset class below. The fair value measurements for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 measurements. Goodwill The goodwill resulting from the acquisition is attributable to the expansion of our services in various regions in which we currently operate and was allocated to our contract operations segment. All of the goodwill recorded for this acquisition is expected to be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Property, Plant and Equipment The 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 15 years . The fair value of the property, plant and equipment was determined using the cost approach, whereby we estimated the replacement cost of the assets by evaluating recent purchases of similar assets or published data, and then adjusted replacement cost for physical deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence, as applicable. Intangible Assets The intangible assets consist of customer relationships that have an estimated useful life of 15 years . The amount of intangible assets and their associated useful life were determined based on the period over which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a specific application of the discounted cash flow method, an income approach, whereby we estimated and then discounted the future cash flows of the intangible asset by adjusting overall business revenue for attrition, obsolescence, cost of sales, operating expenses, taxes and the required returns attributable to other contributory assets acquired. Significant estimates made in arriving at expected future cash flows included our expected customer attrition rate and the amount of earnings attributable to the assets. To discount the estimated future cash flows, we utilized a discount rate that was at a premium to our weighted average cost of capital to reflect the less liquid nature of the customer relationships relative to the tangible assets acquired. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information Unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was derived by adjusting our historical financial statements in order to give effect to the assets and liabilities acquired in the Elite Acquisition. The Elite Acquisition is presented in this unaudited pro forma financial information as though the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2019, and reflects the following: ● the acquisition of substantially all of Elite Compression’s assets, including a compression fleet of approximately 430,000 horsepower, vehicles, real property and inventory, and certain liabilities; ● borrowings of $214.0 million under the Credit Facility for cash consideration exchanged in the acquisition; and ● the exclusion of $4.8 million and $7.4 million of financial advisory, legal and other professional fees incurred related to the acquisition and recorded to transaction-related costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The unaudited pro forma financial information below is presented (in thousands) for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of our results of operations that would have occurred had the transaction been consummated at the beginning of the period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ September 30, 2019 September 30, 2019 Revenue ​ $ 251,505 ​ $ 763,776 Net income ​ 26,925 ​ 63,146 ​ The results of operations attributable to the assets and liabilities acquired in the Elite Acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as part of our contract operations segment since the date of acquisition. Revenue attributable to the assets acquired from the date of acquisition, August 1, 2019, through September 30, 2019 was $13.1 million. We are unable to provide earnings attributable to the assets and liabilities acquired since the date of acquisition as we do not prepare full stand-alone earnings reports for those assets and liabilities. Harvest Sale On August 1, 2019, we completed an asset sale in which Harvest acquired from us approximately 80,000 active and idle compression horsepower, vehicles and parts inventory for cash consideration of $30.0 million. We recorded a $6.6 million gain on this sale to gain on sale of assets, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The assets were previously reported under our contract operations segment.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	4. Discontinued Operations In 2015 we completed the Spin-off. In order to effect the Spin-off and govern our relationship with Exterran Corporation after the Spin-off, we entered into several agreements with Exterran Corporation which include, but are not limited to, the separation and distribution agreement and the tax matters agreement. The separation and distribution agreement specifies our right to promptly receive payments from Exterran Corporation based on a notional amount corresponding to payments received by Exterran Corporation from PDVSA in respect of the sale of Exterran Corporation’s previously-nationalized assets after such amounts are collected by Exterran Corporation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received $0.7 million from Exterran Corporation pursuant to this term of the separation and distribution agreement. We also entered into an assignment from Exterran Corporation so that any future payments by PDVSA would be received directly by us. The tax matters agreement governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of Exterran Corporation and us with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and certain other matters regarding taxes. Subject to the provisions of this agreement, we and Exterran Corporation agreed to indemnify the primary obligor of any return for tax periods beginning before and ending before or after the Spin-off (including any ongoing or future amendments and audits for these returns) for the portion of the tax liability (including interest and penalties) that relates to their respective operations reported in the filing. As of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $8.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits (including interest and penalties) related to Exterran Corporation operations prior to the Spin-off recorded to noncurrent liabilities associated with discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We had an offsetting indemnification asset of $8.5 million related to these unrecognized tax benefits recorded to noncurrent assets associated with discontinued operations as of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Goodwill
Goodwill	7. Goodwill Our goodwill was recognized in connection with the Elite Acquisition and represents the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. All of the goodwill was allocated to our contract operations reporting unit. We review the carrying amount of our goodwill in the fourth quarter of every year, or whenever indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine if the carrying amount of our contract operations reporting unit exceeds its fair value, including the goodwill. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant deterioration in global macroeconomic conditions, including a collapse in the demand for oil coupled with an oversupply of oil, which commenced substantial spending cuts by our customers and a decline in production. This global response to the pandemic significantly impacted our market capitalization and estimates of future revenues and cash flows, which triggered the need to perform a quantitative test of the fair value of our contract operations reporting unit as of March 31, 2020. The quantitative test determined that the carrying amount of our contract operations reporting unit exceeded its fair value and we recorded a full impairment loss on goodwill in the first quarter as a result. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, which have a significant impact on the fair value determined. We determine the fair value of our reporting unit using an equal weighting of both the expected present value of future cash flows and a market approach. The present value of future cash flows is estimated using our most recent forecast and the weighted average cost of capital. The market approach uses a market multiple on the earnings before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense of comparable peer companies. Significant estimates for our reporting unit included in our impairment analysis are our cash flow forecasts, our estimate of the market’s weighted average cost of capital and market multiples. The following table presents the change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ Balance at December 31, 2019 ​ $ 100,598 Dispositions ​ ​ (768) Impairment loss ​ (99,830) Balance at September 30, 2020 ​ $ — ​

Hosting Arrangements	8. Hosting Arrangements In the fourth quarter of 2018 we began a process and technology transformation project that will, among other things, upgrade or replace our existing ERP, supply chain and inventory management systems and expand the remote monitoring capabilities of our compression fleet. Included in this project are hosting arrangements that are service contracts related to the cloud migration of our ERP system and cloud services for our new mobile workforce, telematics and inventory management tools. Certain costs incurred for the implementation of our hosting arrangements that are service contracts are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective contract. Amortization begins in the period in which an individual component becomes ready for its intended use. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we capitalized $6.9 million and $5.5 million, respectively, of implementation costs related to our hosting arrangements that are service contracts to other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accumulated amortization was $0.2 million at September 30, 2020. We recorded $0.1 million and $0.2 million of amortization expense to SG&A in our condensed consolidated statements of operations During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we impaired $1.6 million of capitalized implementation costs related to the hosting arrangements of the mobile workforce component of our project due to the termination of the agreement, which was included in long-lived and other asset impairment

Performance Obligations As of September 30, 2020, we had $387.6 million of remaining performance obligations related to our contract operations segment. We do not consider the effects of the time value of money, as the expected time between the transfer of services and payment for such services is less than one year. Our remaining performance obligations will be recognized through 2025 as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Total Remaining performance obligations ​ $ 105,933 ​ $ 195,902 ​ $ 74,732 ​ $ 9,694 ​ $ 1,196 ​ $ 116 ​ $ 387,573 ​ We do not disclose the aggregate transaction price for the remaining performance obligations for aftermarket services as there are no contracts with customers with an original contract term that is greater than one year. Contract Assets and Liabilities As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for credit losses, were $102.8 million and $139.4 million, respectively. Freight billings to customers for the transport of compression assets, customer-specified modifications of compression assets and milestone billings on aftermarket services often result in a contract liability. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our contract liabilities were $4.9 million and $11.4 million, respectively, which were included in deferred revenue and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in the contract liability balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to $17.2 million recognized as revenue during the period, partially offset by revenue deferral of $10.7 million, each primarily related to freight billings and milestone billings on aftermarket services.

Long-Lived and Other Asset Impairment
Long-Lived and Other Asset Impairment	13. Long-Lived and Other 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 compressors from our active fleet, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the first quarter of 2020, we determined that the impairment of our contract operations reporting unit’s goodwill was an indicator of potential impairment of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets, including our compressor fleet and associated customer and contract-based intangible assets. Accordingly, we performed a quantitative impairment test of our long-lived assets, by which we determined that they were not also impaired. No similar impairment has been indicated subsequent to the first quarter. Compression Fleet We periodically review the future deployment of our idle compression assets for units that are not of the type, configuration, condition, make or model that are cost efficient to maintain and operate. Based on these reviews, we determine that certain idle compressors should be retired from the active fleet. The retirement of these units from the active fleet triggers a review of these assets for impairment and as a result of our review, we may record an asset impairment to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value. The fair value of each unit is estimated based on the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we recently sold, 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 review of our idle compression assets, we evaluate for impairment idle units that were culled from our fleet in prior years and are available for sale. Based on that review, we may reduce the expected proceeds from disposition and record additional impairment to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value. The following table presents the results of our compression fleet impairment review as recorded to our contract operations segment (dollars in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ September 30, ​ September 30, ​ 2020 2019 2020 2019 Idle compressors retired from the active fleet ​ 105 ​ 60 ​ 640 ​ 240 Horsepower of idle compressors retired from the active fleet ​ 28,000 ​ 28,000 ​ 235,000 ​ 84,000 Impairment recorded on idle compressors retired from the active fleet ​ $ 8,137 ​ $ 7,097 ​ $ 69,542 ​ $ 18,821 ​ Other Impairment ​ During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, $1.7 million of capitalized implementation and unamortized prepaid costs related to the mobile workforce component of our multi-year process and technology transformation project was impaired.

In response to the decreased activity level of our customers that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in the second quarter of 2020, we incurred severance costs to right-size our business. We are not currently able to estimate the total amount of restructuring costs to be incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on our operations remain difficult to predict. During the third quarter of 2020, a plan to dispose of certain non-core properties was approved by management. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a charge of $1.5 million associated with the disposal of these properties. We are not currently able to estimate the total amount of restructuring costs to be incurred as a result of our property disposals, as the timing of the disposal and magnitude of the financial impact of their ultimate disposition remain difficult to predict. The severance and property disposal costs incurred under the above restructuring plans were recorded to restructuring charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes	15. Income Taxes CARES Act On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the CARES Act, which includes, among other things, refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, NOL carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act provisions did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Future regulatory guidance under the CARES Act or additional legislation enacted by Congress in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic could impact our tax provision in future periods. Valuation Allowance The amount of our deferred tax assets considered realizable could be adjusted if projections of future taxable income are reduced or objective negative evidence in the form of a three-year cumulative loss is present or both. Should we no longer have a level of sustained profitability, excluding nonrecurring charges, we will have to rely more on our future projections of taxable income to determine if we have an adequate source of taxable income for the realization of our deferred tax assets, namely NOL carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. This may result in the need to record a valuation allowance against all or a portion of our deferred tax assets. Effective Tax Rate The year-to-date effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 differed from our statutory rate primarily due to an increase in unrecognized tax benefits. Our quarterly income tax provision is determined based on our estimated full year effective tax rate, adjusted for tax attributable to infrequent or unusual items, which are recognized on a discrete period basis in the income tax provision in the period in which they occur. Our year-to-date income tax provision included a $22.6 million tax benefit recorded discretely on the nonrecurring goodwill impairment loss of $99.8 million. See Note 7 (“Goodwill”) for further details on the goodwill impairment. Unrecognized Tax Benefits As of September 30, 2020, we believe it is reasonably possible that $2.7 million of our unrecognized tax benefits, including penalties, interest and discontinued operations, will be reduced prior to September 30, 2021 due to the settlement of audits or the expiration of statutes of limitations or both. However, due to the uncertain and complex application of the tax regulations, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters may result in liabilities that could materially differ from this estimate.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	16. Earnings per Share Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income (loss) 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 net income (loss) per common share is determined by dividing net income (loss), after deducting amounts allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Participating securities include unvested restricted stock and stock-settled restricted stock units that have nonforfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid. During periods of net loss, only distributed earnings (dividends) are allocated to participating securities, as they do not have a contractual obligation to participate in our undistributed losses. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental common stock equivalents attributed to outstanding options, performance-based restricted stock units and stock to be issued pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan unless their effect would be anti-dilutive. The following table shows the calculation for net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, which is used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ September 30, ​ September 30, ​ 2020 2019 2020 2019 Income (loss) from continuing operations ​ $ 18,332 ​ $ 20,407 ​ $ (73,236) ​ $ 51,559 Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ (273) Net income (loss) ​ 18,332 ​ 20,407 ​ (73,236) ​ 51,286 Less: Earnings attributable to participating securities ​ (439) ​ (302) ​ (1,083) ​ (876) Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders ​ $ 17,893 ​ $ 20,105 ​ $ (74,319) ​ $ 50,410 ​ The following table shows the potential shares of common stock that were included in computing diluted net income (loss) per common share (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ September 30, ​ September 30, ​ 2020 2019 2020 2019 Weighted average common shares outstanding including participating securities ​ 152,973 ​ 144,692 ​ 152,790 ​ 135,081 Less: Weighted average participating securities outstanding (1,999) (1,761) (2,060) (1,911) Weighted average common shares outstanding used in basic net income (loss) per common share 150,974 142,931 150,730 133,170 Net dilutive potential common shares issuable: ​ On exercise of options and vesting of performance-based restricted stock units 57 ​ 33 — 33 On settlement of employee stock purchase plan shares 7 ​ 1 — 3 Weighted average common shares outstanding used in diluted net income (loss) per common share 151,038 142,965 150,730 133,206 ​ The following table shows the potential shares of common stock issuable that were excluded from computing diluted net income (loss) per common share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ September 30, ​ September 30, ​ ​ 2020 2019 2020 2019 ​ On exercise of options where exercise price is greater than average market value for the period ​ 85 154 102 154 ​ On exercise of options and vesting of performance-based restricted stock units ​ — ​ — ​ 57 ​ — ​ On settlement of employee stock purchase plan shares ​ — ​ — ​ 19 ​ — ​ Net dilutive potential common shares issuable ​ 85 ​ 154 ​ 178 ​ 154 ​ ​

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives	17. Derivatives We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in the variable interest rate of our Credit Facility. We use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in this variable interest rate and thereby minimize the risks and costs associated with financial activities. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. As of September 30, 2020, we had $300.0 million notional value of interest rate swaps outstanding, which expire in March 2022 and were entered into to offset changes in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in the associated variable interest rates. The counterparties to our derivative agreements are major financial institutions. We monitor the credit quality of these financial institutions and do not expect nonperformance by any counterparty, although such nonperformance could have a material adverse effect on us. We have no collateral posted for the derivative instruments. We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction affects earnings. At that time, amounts are reclassified into earnings to interest expense, the same statement of operations line item to which the earnings effect of the hedged item is recorded. 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. We expect the hedging relationship to be highly effective as the interest rate 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 perform quarterly qualitative prospective and retrospective hedge effectiveness assessments unless facts and circumstances related to the hedging relationships change such that we can no longer assert qualitatively that the cash flow hedge relationships were and continue to be highly effective. We estimate that $4.8 million of the deferred pre-tax loss attributable to interest rate swaps included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 30, 2020 will be reclassified into earnings as interest expense at then-current values during the next 12 months as the underlying hedged transactions occur. As of September 30, 2020, the weighted average effective fixed interest rate on our interest rate swaps was 1.8%. The following table presents the effect of our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Other current assets ​ $ — ​ $ 12 Total derivative assets ​ $ — ​ $ 12 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Accrued liabilities ​ $ 4,767 ​ $ 593 Other liabilities ​ 2,794 ​ 1,175 Total derivative liabilities ​ $ 7,561 ​ $ 1,768 ​ The following tables present the effect of our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments on our condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ September 30, ​ September 30, ​ 2020 2019 2020 2019 Pre-tax loss recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) ​ $ (87) ​ $ (933) ​ $ (8,399) ​ $ (7,761) Pre-tax gain (loss) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into interest expense ​ (1,271) ​ 482 ​ (2,594) ​ 2,199 Total amount of interest expense in which the effects of cash flow hedges are recorded ​ ​ 25,221 ​ ​ 27,401 ​ ​ 80,664 ​ ​ 76,972 ​ See Note 10 (“Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)”) and Note 18 (“Fair Value Measurements”) for further details on our derivative instruments.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	18. Fair Value Measurements Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis On a quarterly basis, our interest rate swap derivative instruments are valued based on the income approach (discounted cash flow) using market observable inputs, including LIBOR forward curves. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2. The following table presents our derivative asset and liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Derivative asset ​ $ — ​ $ 12 Derivative liability ​ 7,561 ​ 1,768 ​ Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Goodwill In the first quarter of 2020, we determined that the significant deterioration in global macroeconomic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic was an indicator of potential impairment of our goodwill, and we performed a quantitative impairment test as of March 31, 2020 that resulted in a $99.8 million impairment of our goodwill. Significant estimates used in our impairment analysis included cash flow forecasts, our estimate of the market’s weighted average cost of capital and market multiples, which are Level 3 inputs. See Note 7 (“Goodwill”) for further details of the valuation methodology used in connection with the goodwill impairment. Properties During the three months ended September 30, 2020, a plan to dispose of certain non-core properties was approved by management. As of September 30, 2020, the properties not sold at auction were impaired and written down to fair value. The commercial real estate market where these properties are located is not an active market. Our estimate of fair value included inputs from offers received as well as market transactions for similar properties, which are Level 3 inputs. The fair value of our impaired properties was as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, 2020 Impaired properties ​ $ 430 ​ The significant unobservable inputs used to develop the Level 3 fair value measurements for the properties were the estimated sale values in an inactive market. In reviewing sales trends for the past three years, the probable price range based on market comparisons was as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Range Weighted Average Estimated sale proceeds ​ $100 - $600 ​ $427 ​ See Note 14 (“Restructuring Charges”) for further details on our approved plan of disposal. Compressors During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded nonrecurring fair value measurements related to our idle and previously-culled compressors. Our estimate of the compressors’ fair value was primarily based on 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. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 3. The fair value of our impaired compressors was as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Impaired compressors ​ $ 2,561 ​ $ 5,859 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The significant unobservable inputs used to develop the above fair value measurements were weighted by the relative fair value of the compressors being measured. Additional quantitative information related to our significant unobservable inputs as of September 30, 2020 follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Range Weighted Average (1) Estimated net sale proceeds ​ $0 - $372 per horsepower ​ $21 per horsepower (1) Calculated based on an estimated discount for market liquidity of 78% . ​ See Note 13 (“Long-Lived and Other Asset Impairment”) for further details. Other Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of our cash, receivables and payables approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The carrying amount of borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility approximates fair value due to its variable interest rate. The fair value of these outstanding borrowings is a Level 3 measurement. The fair value of our fixed rate debt is estimated using yields observable in active markets, which are Level 2 inputs, and was as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Carrying amount of fixed rate debt (1) ​ $ 985,459 ​ $ 1,329,549 Fair value of fixed rate debt ​ 953,000 ​ 1,400,000 (1) Carrying amounts are shown net of unamortized debt discounts and unamortized deferred financing costs.

As of September 30, 2020, we expect $16.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock, stock-settled restricted stock units, performance units, cash-settled restricted stock units and cash-settled performance units to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.8 years. 2020 Plan The 2020 Plan was adopted in April 2020 and provides for the granting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, other stock-based awards and dividend equivalent rights to employees, directors and consultants of Archrock. Under the 2020 Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance is 8,500,000. Each stock-settled award granted under the 2020 Plan reduces the number of shares available for issuance by one share. No additional grants may be made under the 2013 Plan following the adoption of the 2020 Plan. Previous grants made under the 2013 Plan continue to be governed by that plan and the applicable award agreements.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies	9 Months Ended

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	20. Commitments and Contingencies Performance Bonds In the normal course of business we have issued performance bonds to various state authorities that ensure payment of certain obligations. We have also issued a bond to protect our 401(k) retirement plan against losses caused by acts of fraud or dishonesty. The bonds have expiration dates in 2020 through the fourth quarter of 2022, and maximum potential future payments of $2.2 million. As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all obligations to which the performance bonds pertain. Tax Matters We are subject to a number of state and local 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we accrued $5.7 million and $2.5 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 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 consolidated results of operations or cash flows. Subject to the provisions of the tax matters agreement between Exterran Corporation and us, both parties agreed to indemnify the primary obligor of any return for tax periods beginning before and ending before or after the Spin-off (including any ongoing or future amendments and audits for these returns) for the portion of the tax liability (including interest and penalties) that relates to their respective operations reported in the filing. The tax contingencies mentioned above relate to tax matters for which we are responsible in managing the audit. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had an indemnification liability (including penalties and interest), in addition to the tax contingency above, of $1.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for our share of non-income-based tax contingencies related to audits being managed by Exterran Corporation. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we settled a certain sales and use tax audit for which we recorded a $12.4 million net benefit in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. This net benefit was primarily reflected as decreases of $4.4 million and $7.9 million to cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) and SG&A, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, these settlements were reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as a $17.3 million tax refund receivable and an offsetting $4.9 million in accrued liabilities. Insurance Matters 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. 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. We are also self-insured for property damage to our offshore assets. Litigation and Claims In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. While we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, we believe that any ultimate liability arising from any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, including our ability to pay dividends. 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, including our ability to pay dividends.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	21. Related Party Transactions In connection with the closing of the Elite Acquisition, we issued 21.7 million shares of our common stock to JDH Capital, an affiliate of our customer Hilcorp. As long as JDH Capital, together with affiliates of Hilcorp, owns at least 7.5% of our outstanding common stock, it will have the right to designate one director to our Board of Directors. Jeffery D. Hildebrand, founder and executive chairman of Hilcorp, was appointed Director in August 2019 and served until his resignation on July 29, 2020, at which time Jason C. Rebrook, President of Hilcorp, was appointed Director to fill the resulting vacancy. Mr. Hildebrand did not receive and Mr. Rebrook receives no compensation for their role as Director. As of September 30, 2020, JDH Capital owned 14.2% of our outstanding common stock. Revenue from Hilcorp and affiliates was $9.8 million and $9.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $30.7 million and $20.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Accounts receivable, net due from Hilcorp and affiliates was $4.9 million and $5.1 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	22. Segments We manage our business segments primarily based on the type of product or service provided. We have two segments which we operate within the U.S.: contract operations and aftermarket services. The contract operations segment primarily provides natural gas compression services to meet specific customer requirements.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Credit Losses	Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which changes the impairment model for financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, and requires entities to use a new current expected credit loss model that results in recognition of expected losses over the contractual life of an asset. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption resulted in a $0.2 million decrease in our allowance for credit losses and a corresponding pre-tax cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2020. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Our financial assets measured at amortized cost consist of cash equivalents and trade receivables from revenue transactions within the scope of ASC 606 Revenue. We believe our temporary cash investments have a zero loss expectation because we maintain minimal balances in our cash investment accounts and have no history of loss. Trade accounts receivable are due from companies of varying size engaged principally in oil and natural gas activities throughout the U.S. We review the financial condition of customers prior to extending credit and generally do not obtain collateral for trade receivables. Payment terms are on a short-term basis and in accordance with industry practice. We consider this credit risk to be limited due to these companies’ financial resources, the nature of the products and services we provide and the terms of our customer agreements. Due to the short-term nature of our trade receivables, we consider the amortized cost to be the same as the carrying amount of the receivable, excluding the allowance for credit losses. We recognize an allowance for credit losses when a receivable is recorded, even when the risk of loss is remote. We utilize an aging schedule to determine our allowance for credit losses, and measure expected credit losses on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. We rely primarily on ratings assigned by external rating agencies and credit monitoring services to assess credit risk and aggregate customers first by low, medium or high risk asset pools, and then by delinquency status. We also consider the internal risk associated with geographic location and the services we provide to the customer when determining asset pools. If a customer does not share similar risk characteristics with other customers, we evaluate the customer’s outstanding trade receivables for expected credit losses on an individual basis. Trade receivables evaluated individually are not included in our collective assessment. Each reporting period, we reassess our customers’ risk profiles and determine the appropriate asset pool classification, or perform individual assessments of expected credit losses, based on the customers’ risk characteristics at the reporting date. The contractual life of our trade receivables is primarily 30 days based on the payment terms specified in the contract. Contract operations services are generally billed monthly at the beginning of the month in which service is being provided. Aftermarket services billings typically occur when parts are delivered or service is completed. Loss rates are separately determined for each asset pool based on the length of time a trade receivable has been outstanding. We analyze two years of internal historical loss data, including the effects of prepayments, write-offs and subsequent recoveries, to determine our historical loss experience. Our historical loss information is a relevant data point for estimating credit losses, as the data closely aligns with trade receivables due from our customers. Ratings assigned by external rating agencies and credit monitoring services consider past performance and forecasts of future economic conditions in assessing credit risk. We routinely update our historical loss data to reflect our customers’ current risk profile, to ensure the historical data and loss rates are relevant to the pool of assets for which we are estimating expected credit losses. Judgement is used to determine the expected credit loss for customers that do not share similar risk characteristics with other customers, based on customer specific items such as legal proceedings, past experience with the customer and/or ongoing customer negotiations. The following table summarizes the changes in our allowance for credit losses balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 2,210 Impact of adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 ​ ​ (216) Provision for credit losses ​ ​ 2,235 Write-offs charged against allowance ​ ​ (1,006) Balance at September 30, 2020 ​ $ 3,223 ​
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-13, which amends the required fair value measurements disclosures related to valuation techniques and inputs used, uncertainty in measurement and changes in measurements applied. These amendments resulted in new, prospective disclosures of the range and weighted average of the significant unobservable inputs used to develop our Level 3 fair value measurements related to our idle and previously-culled compressors. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2019-12, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by, among other things, removing certain exceptions related to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the year-to-date loss methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition for deferred tax liabilities on outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also clarifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes in order to improve consistency of application. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Implemented	Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Implemented Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Entities may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. Modifications to our interest rate swap and Credit Facility agreements during the effective period of this amendment will be assessed and if the modifications meet the criteria for the optional expedients and exceptions, we intend to adopt ASU 2020-04 and apply the amendments as applicable.
