Explanation of Responses:

1. Each phantom unit is the economic equivalent of one common unit of USA Compression Partners, LP.

2. The phantom units were set to vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, with the number of phantom units that vest on such third anniversary to range between 0% and 200% of the reported number of phantom units generally depending on the Issuer's achievement of certain objective, performance-based criteria during the three years prior to the vesting date. In accordance with the terms of the USA Compression Partners, LP 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the vesting of the phantom units was accelerated in connection with the Issuer's change in control transaction and vested at 100% of the reported number of phantom units which settled on April 13, 2018.

Remarks:

The Reporting Person is the Vice President of Finance and Chief Accounting Officer of USA Compression GP, LLC, the general partner of the Issuer (the ''General Partner''). The Issuer is managed by the directors and executive officers of the General Partner.
