Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Description of Business	Organization and Description of Business Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” “the Partnership,” and similar language refer to USA Compression Partners, LP, collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries. We are a Delaware limited partnership. Through our operating subsidiaries, we provide compression services to customers under fixed-term contracts in the natural gas and crude oil industries, using natural gas compression packages that we design, engineer, own, operate, and maintain. We also own and operate a fleet of equipment used to provide natural gas treating services, such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide removal, cooling, and dehydration. We provide compression services in shale plays throughout the U.S., including the Utica, Marcellus, Permian Basin, Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford, Mississippi Lime, Granite Wash, Woodford, Barnett, Haynesville, Niobrara, and Fayetteville shales. USA Compression GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, serves as our general partner and is referred to herein as the “General Partner.” The General Partner is wholly owned by Energy Transfer. The Partnership is a borrower under a revolving credit facility and its subsidiaries are guarantors of that revolving credit facility (see Note 9). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned by us. Net loss attributable to partners is allocated to our common units and participating securities using the two-class income allocation method. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our common units trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “USAC”.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation Our accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Use of Estimates Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which includes the use of estimates and assumptions by management that affect the reported amounts in these consolidated financial statements and the accompanying results. Although these estimates were based on management’s available knowledge of current and expected future events, actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances. We consider investments in highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are recorded at their invoiced amounts. Allowance for Credit Losses We evaluate our allowance for credit losses related to our trade accounts receivable measured at amortized cost. Due to the short-term nature of our trade accounts receivable, we consider the amortized cost of trade accounts receivable to equal the receivable’s carrying amounts, excluding the allowance for credit losses. Our determination of the allowance for credit losses requires us to make estimates and judgments regarding our customers’ ability to pay amounts due. We continuously evaluate the financial strength of our customers and the overall business climate in which our customers operate, and make adjustments to the allowance for credit losses as necessary. We evaluate the financial strength of our customers by reviewing the aging of their receivables owed to us, our collection experience with the customer, correspondence, financial information, and third-party credit ratings. We evaluate the business climate in which our customers operate by reviewing various publicly available materials regarding our customers’ industry, including the solvency of various companies in the industry. Inventories Inventories consist of serialized and non-serialized parts primarily used on compression units. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Serialized parts inventories are determined using the specific-identification cost method, while non-serialized parts inventories are determined using the weighted-average cost method. Purchases of inventories are considered operating activities within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are carried at cost except for (i) certain acquired assets which are recorded at fair value on their respective acquisition dates and (ii) impaired assets which are recorded at fair value as of the last impairment evaluation date for which an adjustment was required. Overhauls and major improvements that increase the value or extend the life of compression equipment are capitalized and depreciated over three When property and equipment is retired or sold, its carrying value and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and any associated gains or losses are recorded within our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of sale or disposition. Capitalized interest is calculated by multiplying our monthly effective interest rate on outstanding variable-rate indebtedness by the amount of qualifying costs, which include upfront payments to acquire certain compression units. Capitalized interest was $0.9 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets with recorded values that are not expected to be recovered from future cash flows are written-down to estimated fair value. We test long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that a long-lived asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable or will no longer be utilized within the operating fleet. The most common circumstance requiring compression units to be evaluated for impairment occurs when idle units do not meet the desired performance characteristics of our revenue-generating horsepower. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if the asset’s carrying value exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset, an impairment loss equal to the amount of the carrying value exceeding the fair value of the asset is recognized. The fair value of the asset is measured using quoted market prices or, in the absence of quoted market prices, based on an estimate of discounted cash flows, the expected net sale proceeds compared to the other similarly configured fleet units that we recently sold, or a review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to continue using. In the first quarter of 2020, we determined that the impairment of our goodwill was an indicator of potential impairment of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets. Accordingly, we performed a quantitative impairment test of our long-lived assets, by which we determined that they were also not impaired. No triggering events have been identified subsequent to the first quarter of 2020. Refer to Note 5 for more detailed information about impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. Identifiable Intangible Assets Identifiable intangible assets are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which is the period over which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows. The estimated useful lives of our intangible assets range from 15 to 25 years. We assess identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 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 goodwill was an indicator of potential impairment of the carrying amount of our identifiable intangible assets. Accordingly, we performed a quantitative impairment test of our identifiable intangible assets, by which we determined that they also were not impaired. No triggering events have been identified subsequent to the first quarter of 2020. We did not record any impairment of identifiable intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, or 2020. Goodwill Goodwill represents consideration paid in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for impairment annually based on the carrying values as of October 1, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise that suggest the carrying value of goodwill may not be recovered. We recorded a $619.4 million goodwill impairment for the year ended December 31, 2020, which reduced our goodwill balance to zero. Refer to the Goodwill section in Note 5 for more information about the goodwill impairment assessment performed during the year ended December 31, 2020. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the provision of services or the transfer of goods. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for providing services or transferring goods. Incidental items, if any, that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expenses. Refer to Note 12 for more detailed information about revenue recognition for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. Income Taxes USA Compression Partners, LP is organized as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As a result, our partners are responsible for U.S. federal and state income taxes on their distributive share of our items of income, gain, loss, or deduction. Texas also imposes an entity-level income tax on partnerships that is based on Texas sourced taxable margin (the “Texas Margin Tax”). Texas Margin Tax impacts are included within our consolidated financial statements. Our wholly owned finance subsidiary, USA Compression Finance Corp. (“Finance Corp”), is a corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and any resulting tax impacts are included within our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 8 for more detailed information about the Texas Margin Tax for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. Pass-Through Taxes Sales taxes incurred on behalf of, and passed through to, customers are accounted for on a net basis. Fair-Value Measurements Accounting standards applicable to fair-value measurements establish a framework for measuring fair value and stipulate disclosures about fair-value measurements. The standards apply to recurring and non-recurring financial and non-financial assets and liabilities that require or permit fair-value measurements. Among the required disclosures is the fair-value hierarchy of inputs we use to value an asset or a liability. The three levels of the fair-value hierarchy are described as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are those other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, our financial instruments primarily consisted of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and long-term debt. The book values of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable are representative of fair value due to their short-term maturities. Our revolving credit facility applies floating interest rates to amounts drawn under the facility; therefore, the carrying amount of our revolving credit facility approximates its fair value. The fair value of our Senior Notes 2026 and Senior Notes 2027 were estimated using quoted prices in inactive markets and are considered Level 2 measurements. The following table summarizes the aggregate principal amount and fair value of our Senior Notes 2026 and Senior Notes 2027 (in thousands): December 31, 2022 2021 Senior Notes 2026, aggregate principal $ 725,000 $ 725,000 Fair value of Senior Notes 2026 706,875 755,813 Senior Notes 2027, aggregate principal 750,000 750,000 Fair value of Senior Notes 2027 725,625 787,500 Nonrecurring Fair-Value Measurements During the first quarter of 2020, certain potential impairment indicators were identified, specifically (i) the decline in the market price of our common units, (ii) the decline in global commodity prices, and (iii) the COVID-19 pandemic, which together indicated the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount as of March 31, 2020. We performed a quantitative impairment test as of March 31, 2020 that resulted in a goodwill impairment of $619.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Significant estimates used in our goodwill 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. Refer to Note 5 for further information on our goodwill impairment analysis. Operating Segment We operate in a single business segment, the compression services business.

Receivables [Abstract]
Trade Accounts Receivable	Trade Accounts Receivable The allowance for credit losses, which was $1.2 million and $2.1 million as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively, represents our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses included within our existing accounts receivable balance. The following summarizes activity within our trade accounts receivable allowance for credit losses balance (in thousands): Allowance for Credit Losses Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 4,982 Current-period provision for expected credit losses (2,700) Write-offs charged against the allowance (264) Recoveries collected 39 Balance as of December 31, 2021 2,057 Current-period provision for expected credit losses (700) Write-offs charged against the allowance (203) Recoveries collected 10 Balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 1,164 Favorable market conditions for customers, attributable to sustained increases in commodity prices, was the primary factor supporting the recorded decrease to the allowance for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2022. Improved market conditions for customers resulting from improved commodity prices was the primary factor supporting the recorded decrease to the allowance for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded $3.7 million to the current-period provision for expected credit losses. The potential negative impact to our customers of low commodity prices during 2020, driven by decreased demand for, and global oversupply of, crude oil as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, was the primary factor supporting the recorded increase to the allowance for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2020.

For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, we evaluated the future deployment of our idle fleet assets under then-existing market conditions and retired 15, 26, and 37 compressor units, respectively, for a total of approximately 3,200, 11,000, and 15,000 aggregate horsepower, respectively, that previously were used to provide compression services in our business. As a result, we recorded impairments of compression equipment of $1.5 million, $5.1 million, and $8.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The primary circumstances supporting these impairments were: (i) unmarketability of units into the foreseeable future, (ii) excessive maintenance costs associated with certain fleet assets, and (iii) excessive retrofitting costs that likely would prevent certain units from securing customer acceptance. These compression units were written down to their respective estimated salvage values, if any. Identifiable Intangible Assets Identifiable intangible assets, net consisted of the following (in thousands): Customer Trade Names Total Gross balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 485,162 $ 65,500 $ 550,662 Accumulated amortization (208,314) (37,937) (246,251) Net balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 276,848 $ 27,563 $ 304,411 Gross balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 485,162 $ 65,500 $ 550,662 Accumulated amortization (234,418) (41,212) (275,630) Net balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 250,744 $ 24,288 $ 275,032 Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, was $29.4 million, $29.4 million, and $29.4 million, respectively. The expected amortization of the intangible assets for each of the five succeeding years is as follows: Year Ending December 31, 2023 $ 29,380 2024 29,380 2025 29,380 2026 29,380 2027 14,486 Goodwill During the first quarter of 2020, certain potential impairment indicators were identified, specifically (i) the decline in the market price of our common units, (ii) the decline in global commodity prices, and (iii) the COVID-19 pandemic, which together indicated the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount as of March 31, 2020. We performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2020, and determined fair value using a weighted combination of the income approach and the market approach. Determining fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and use of significant estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, weighted-average costs of capital, and future market conditions, among others. We believe the estimates and assumptions used were reasonable and based on available market information, but variations in any of the assumptions could have resulted in materially different calculations of fair value and determinations of whether an impairment was indicated. Under the income approach, we determined fair value based on estimated future cash flows, including estimates for capital expenditures, discounted to present value using the risk-adjusted industry rate, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk of the Partnership. Cash flow projections were derived from four-year operating forecasts plus an estimate of later-period cash flows, all of which were developed by management. Subsequent-period cash flows were developed using growth rates that management believed were reasonably likely to occur. Under the market approach, we determined fair value by applying valuation multiples of comparable publicly traded companies to the projected EBITDA of the Partnership and then averaging that estimate with similar historical calculations using a three-year average. In addition, we estimated a reasonable control premium representing the incremental value that would accrue to us if we were to be acquired. Based on the quantitative goodwill impairment test described above, our carrying amount exceeded fair value and as a result, we recognized a goodwill impairment of $619.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Leases [Abstract]
Lease Accounting	Lease Accounting Lessee Accounting We maintain both finance leases and operating leases, primarily related to office space, warehouse facilities, and certain corporate equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of up to seven years, some of which include options that permit renewals for additional periods. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, accrued liabilities, and operating lease liabilities within our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, accrued liabilities, and other liabilities within our Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. ROU lease assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable costs such as our proportionate share of actual costs for utilities, common area maintenance, property taxes, and insurance are not included in the lease liability and are recognized in the period in which they are incurred. For short-term leases (leases that have terms of twelve months or less upon commencement), lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis and no ROU assets are recorded. For certain equipment leases, such as office equipment, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single-lease component. Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases consisted of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2022 2021 Operating leases: Lease right-of-use assets $ 18,195 $ 20,173 Accrued liabilities (3,631) (3,226) Operating lease liabilities (16,146) (18,551) Finance leases: Property and equipment, gross $ 3,685 $ 4,408 Accumulated depreciation (2,278) (3,408) Property and equipment, net 1,407 1,000 Accrued liabilities (484) (518) Other liabilities (1,211) (905) Components of lease expense consisted of the following (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, Income Statement Line Item 2022 2021 2020 Operating lease costs: Operating lease cost Cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization $ 3,349 $ 3,074 $ 2,874 Operating lease cost Selling, general, and administrative 1,490 1,524 1,566 Total operating lease costs 4,839 4,598 4,440 Finance lease costs: Amortization of lease assets Depreciation and amortization 376 443 410 Short-term lease costs: Short-term lease cost Cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization 165 374 308 Short-term lease cost Selling, general, and administrative 10 30 38 Total short-term lease costs 175 404 346 Variable lease costs: Variable lease cost Cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization 129 141 263 Variable lease cost Selling, general, and administrative 649 597 1,126 Total variable lease costs 778 738 1,389 Total lease costs $ 6,168 $ 6,183 $ 6,585 The weighted-average remaining lease terms and weighted-average discount rates were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Weighted-average remaining lease term: Operating leases 6 years 7 years 8 years Finance leases 4 years 3 years 3 years Weighted-average discount rate: Operating leases 4.9 % 5.0 % 5.0 % Finance leases 5.2 % 3.9 % 2.6 % Supplemental cash flow information related to leases consisted of the following (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ (4,743) $ (4,463) $ (4,321) Operating cash flows from finance leases (124) (129) (509) Financing cash flows from finance leases (518) (558) (774) ROU assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations: Operating leases $ 1,720 $ 730 $ 7,709 Finance leases 790 430 — Maturities of lease liabilities as of December 31, 2022, consisted of the following (in thousands): Operating Leases Finance Leases Total 2023 $ 4,509 $ 564 $ 5,073 2024 3,797 524 4,321 2025 3,413 240 3,653 2026 3,110 240 3,350 2027 2,697 240 2,937 Thereafter 5,457 120 5,577 Total lease payments 22,983 1,928 24,911 Less: present-value discount (3,206) (233) (3,439) Present value of lease liabilities $ 19,777 $ 1,695 $ 21,472 As of December 31, 2022, we have not entered into any additional leases that have not yet commenced that create significant rights and obligations. Lessor Accounting In 2014, we granted a bargain purchase option to a customer with respect to certain compressor packages leased to the customer. The bargain purchase option provided the customer with an option to acquire the equipment at a value significantly less than the fair market value at the end of the lease term. During 2021, the customer exercised its bargain purchase option resulting in a gain of $1.1 million recognized within loss (gain) on disposition of assets for the year ended December 31, 2021. Prior to the customer exercising its bargain purchase option, revenue and interest income related to the lease was recognized over the lease term. We recognized maintenance revenue within contract operations revenue and interest income within interest expense, net. Maintenance revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, was $0.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Interest income recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 Leases provides lessors with a practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”) and certain conditions are met. Our contract operations services agreements meet these conditions, and we consider the predominant component to be the non-lease components, resulting in the ongoing recognition of revenue following ASC Topic 606 guidance.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)	Income Tax Expense (Benefit) We are subject to the Texas Margin Tax, which applies a tax to our gross margin. We do not conduct business in any other state where a similar tax is applied. The Texas Margin Tax requires certain forms of legal entities, including limited partnerships, to pay a tax of 0.75% on its “margin,” as defined in the law, based on annual results. The tax base to which the tax is applied is the least of (i) 70% of total revenues for federal income tax purposes, (ii) total revenue less cost of goods sold, or (iii) total revenue less compensation for federal income tax purposes. Components of our income tax expense are as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Current tax expense $ 1,167 $ 916 $ 803 Deferred tax expense (benefit) (151) (42) 530 Total income tax expense $ 1,016 $ 874 $ 1,333 Deferred income tax balances are the direct effect of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. The tax effects of temporary differences related to property and equipment, identifiable intangible assets, and goodwill that gives rise to deferred tax assets (liabilities), included net within other liabilities, are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2022 2021 Deferred tax assets: Goodwill $ 13 $ 15 Deferred tax liabilities: Property and equipment (4,240) (4,389) Identifiable intangible assets (26) (30) Total deferred tax liabilities (4,266) (4,419) Deferred tax liabilities, net $ (4,253) $ (4,404) ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”) provides guidance on measurement and recognition in accounting for income tax uncertainties and provides related guidance on derecognition, classification, disclosure, interest, and penalties. As of December 31, 2022, we had no material unrecognized tax benefits (as defined in ASC Topic 740). We do not expect to incur interest charges or penalties related to our tax positions, but if such charges or penalties are incurred, our policy is to account for interest charges and penalties as income tax expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our U.S. Federal income tax returns for years 2019 and 2020 currently are under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and our Texas Margin Tax returns for report years 2018 through 2021 currently are under examination by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 provides that any tax adjustments (including any applicable penalties and interest) resulting from partnership audits generally will be determined at the partnership level for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. To the extent possible under these rules, our General Partner may elect to either pay the taxes (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly to the IRS or, if we are eligible, issue a revised information statement to each unitholder, and former unitholder, with respect to an audited and adjusted return. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 allows a partnership to elect to apply these provisions to any return of the partnership filed for partnership taxable years beginning after the date of the enactment, November 2, 2015. We do not intend to elect to apply these provisions for any tax return filed for partnership taxable years beginning before January 1, 2018.

Long-term Debt	Long-term Debt Our long-term debt, of which there is no current portion, consisted of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2022 2021 Senior Notes 2026, aggregate principal $ 725,000 $ 725,000 Senior Notes 2027, aggregate principal 750,000 750,000 Less: deferred financing costs, net of amortization (14,307) (18,108) Total senior notes, net 1,460,693 1,456,892 Revolving credit facility 645,956 516,342 Total long-term debt, net $ 2,106,649 $ 1,973,234 Revolving Credit Facility The Credit Agreement matures on December 8, 2026, except that if any portion of the Senior Notes 2026 are outstanding on December 31, 2025, the Credit Agreement will mature on December 31, 2025. The Credit Agreement has an aggregate commitment of $1.6 billion (subject to availability under our borrowing base), with a further potential increase of up to $200 million. The Partnership’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the guarantors party to the Credit Agreement, which currently consists of all of the Partnership’s subsidiaries. In addition, the Partnership’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by: (i) substantially all of the Partnership’s assets and substantially all of the assets of the guarantors party to the Credit Agreement, excluding real property and other customary exclusions; and (ii) all of the equity interests of the Partnership’s U.S. restricted subsidiaries (subject to customary exceptions). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per-annum interest rate equal to, at the Partnership’s option, either the Alternate Base Rate or SOFR plus the applicable margin. “Alternate Base Rate” means the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the applicable federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (iii) one-month SOFR rate plus 1.00%. The applicable margin for borrowings varies (a) in the case of SOFR loans, from 2.00% to 2.75% per annum, and (b) in the case of Alternate Base Rate loans, from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum, and are determined based on a total-leverage-ratio pricing grid. In addition, the Borrower is required to pay commitment fees based on the daily unused amount of the Credit Agreement in an amount equal to 0.375% per annum. Amounts borrowed and repaid under the Credit Agreement may be re-borrowed, subject to borrowing base availability. The Credit Agreement permits us to make distributions of available cash to unitholders so long as (i) no default under the facility has occurred, is continuing, or would result from the distribution; (ii) immediately prior to and after giving effect to such distribution, we are in compliance with the facility’s financial covenants; and (iii) immediately prior to and after giving effect to such distribution, (a) on or before September 30, 2023, we have availability under the Credit Agreement of at least $250 million and (b) after September 30, 2023, we have availability under the Credit Agreement of at least $100 million. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains various covenants that may limit, among other things, our ability to (subject to exceptions): • grant liens; • make certain loans or investments; • incur additional indebtedness or guarantee other indebtedness; • enter into transactions with affiliates; • merge or consolidate; • sell our assets; and • make certain acquisitions. The Credit Agreement also contains various financial covenants, including covenants requiring us to maintain: • a minimum EBITDA to interest coverage ratio of 2.5 to 1.0, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, with EBITDA and interest expense annualized for the most-recent fiscal quarter; • a ratio of total secured indebtedness to EBITDA not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 or less than 0.00 to 1.00, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, with EBITDA annualized for the most-recent fiscal quarter; and • a maximum funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter with EBITDA annualized for the most-recent fiscal quarter, of (i) 5.50 to 1.00 through the third quarter of 2023 and (ii) 5.25 to 1.00 thereafter. In addition, the Partnership may increase the applicable ratio by 0.25 for any fiscal quarter during which a Specified Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs and for the following two fiscal quarters, but in no event shall the maximum ratio exceed 5.50 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter as a result of such increase. If a default exists under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity on the amount then outstanding and exercise other rights and remedies. In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, we paid certain upfront fees and arrangement fees to the arrangers, syndication agents and senior managing agents of the Credit Agreement in the amount of $10.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. These fees were capitalized to loan costs and are amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. In connection with an amendment to our prior Credit Agreement, we incurred arrangement fees, consent fees, and other fees in the amount of $3.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. These fees were capitalized to loan costs and are amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, we had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement of $646.0 million, $954.0 million of availability and, subject to compliance with the applicable financial covenants, available borrowing capacity of $333.1 million. The borrowing base consists of eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and compression units. The largest component, representing 94% of the borrowing base as of December 31, 2022, was eligible compression units. Eligible compression units consist of compressor packages that are under service contracts, leased or rented, and carried in the financial statements as fixed assets. Our weighted-average interest rate in effect for all borrowings under the Credit Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2022, was 4.48%, and our weighted-average interest rate under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2022, was 6.84%. There were no letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2022. We pay a commitment fee of 0.375% on the unused portion of the aggregate commitment. The Credit Agreement is a “revolving credit facility” that includes a lockbox arrangement, whereby remittances from customers are forwarded to a bank account controlled by the administrative agent and are applied to reduce borrowings under the facility. Amounts borrowed and repaid under the Credit Agreement may be re-borrowed. Senior Notes 2027 On March 7, 2019, the Partnership and Finance Corp co-issued the Senior Notes 2027. The Senior Notes 2027 mature on September 1, 2027 and accrue interest at the rate of 6.875% per year. Interest on the Senior Notes 2027 is payable semi-annually in arrears on each of March 1 and September 1. We may redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes 2027 at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on September 1 of the years indicated below: Year Percentages 2022 105.156 % 2023 103.438 % 2024 101.719 % 2025 and thereafter 100.000 % If we experience a change of control followed by a ratings decline, unless we have previously exercised, or concurrently exercise, our right to redeem the Senior Notes 2027 (as described above), we may be required to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes 2027 at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date. The indenture governing the Senior Notes 2027 (the “2027 Indenture”) contains certain financial ratios that we must comply with in order to make certain restricted payments as described in the 2027 Indenture. As of December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with such financial covenants under the 2027 Indenture. The Senior Notes 2027 are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “2027 Guarantees”), jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by all of our existing subsidiaries (other than Finance Corp), and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of our future restricted subsidiaries that either borrows under, or guarantees, the Credit Agreement or guarantees certain of our other indebtedness (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Senior Notes 2027 and the 2027 Guarantees are general unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Guarantors’, Finance Corp’s, and our existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to the Guarantors’, Finance Corp’s, and our future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The Senior Notes 2027 and the 2027 Guarantees effectively are subordinated in right of payment to all of the Guarantors’, Finance Corp’s, and our existing and future secured debt, including debt under the Credit Agreement and guarantees thereof, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and are structurally subordinate to all indebtedness of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes 2027. Senior Notes 2026 On March 23, 2018, the Partnership and Finance Corp co-issued the Senior Notes 2026. The Senior Notes 2026 mature on April 1, 2026 and accrue interest at the rate of 6.875% per year. Interest on the Senior Notes 2026 is payable semi-annually in arrears on each of April 1 and October 1. We may redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes 2026 at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 1 of the years indicated below: Year Percentages 2022 103.438 % 2023 101.719 % 2024 and thereafter 100.000 % If we experience a change of control followed by a ratings decline, unless we have previously exercised, or concurrently exercise, our right to redeem the Senior Notes 2026 (as described above), we may be required to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes 2026 at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date. The indenture governing the Senior Notes 2026 (the “2026 Indenture”) contains certain financial ratios that we must comply with in order to make certain restricted payments as described in the 2026 Indenture. As of December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with such financial covenants under the 2026 Indenture. The Senior Notes 2026 are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “2026 Guarantees”), jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors. The Senior Notes 2026 and the 2026 Guarantees are general unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Guarantors’, Finance Corp’s, and our existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to the Guarantors’, Finance Corp’s, and our future subordinated indebtedness, if any.

We have no assets or operations independent of our subsidiaries, and there are no significant restrictions on our ability to obtain funds from our subsidiaries by dividend or loan. Each of the Guarantors is 100% owned by us. None of the assets of our subsidiaries represent restricted net assets pursuant to Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Subsidiary Guarantors The Partnership may from time to time file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC to register the issuance and sale of, among other securities, debt securities, which may be co-issued by Finance Corp (together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”) and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Partnership’s operating subsidiaries for the benefit of each holder and the trustee. Such guarantees are expected to be subject to release, subject to certain limitations, as follows (i) upon the sale, exchange or transfer, by way of a merger or otherwise, to any person that is not our affiliate, of all of our direct or indirect limited partnership or other equity interest in such subsidiary guarantor; or (ii) upon delivery by an Issuer of a written notice to the trustee of the release or discharge of all guarantees by such subsidiary guarantor of any debt of the Issuers other than obligations arising under the indenture governing such debt and any debt securities issued under such indenture, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantees.

Preferred Units and Warrants
Preferred Units	Preferred Units Preferred Unit and Warrant Private Placement On April 2, 2018, we completed a private placement of $500 million in the aggregate of (i) newly authorized and established Preferred Units and (ii) warrants to purchase common units (the “Warrants”) with certain investment funds managed, or advised, by EIG Global Energy Partners. We issued 500,000 Preferred Units with a face value of $1,000 per Preferred Unit and issued two tranches of Warrants to the holders of the Preferred Units, refer to Note 11 for further information on the Warrants. On November 13, 2018, the Partnership filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register 41,202,553 common units that are potentially issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Units and exercise of the Warrants. The Preferred Units rank senior to our common units with respect to distributions and liquidation rights. The holders of the Preferred Units are entitled to receive cumulative quarterly cash distributions equal to $24.375 per Preferred Unit. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, 500,000 Preferred Units were issued and outstanding. We have declared and paid per-unit quarterly cash distributions to the holders of the Preferred Units of record as follows: Payment date Distribution per Preferred Unit February 7, 2020 $ 24.375 May 8, 2020 24.375 August 10, 2020 24.375 November 6, 2020 24.375 Total 2020 distributions $ 97.50 February 5, 2021 $ 24.375 May 7, 2021 24.375 August 6, 2021 24.375 November 5, 2021 24.375 Total 2021 distributions $ 97.50 February 4, 2022 $ 24.375 May 6, 2022 24.375 August 5, 2022 24.375 November 4, 2022 24.375 Total 2022 distributions $ 97.50 Announced Quarterly Distribution On January 12, 2023, we declared a cash distribution of $24.375 per unit on our Preferred Units. The distribution was paid on February 3, 2023, to the holders of the Preferred Units of record as of the close of business on January 23, 2023. Redemption and Conversion Features The Preferred Units are convertible, at the option of the holder, into common units in accordance with the terms of our Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) as follows: one third on or after April 2, 2021, two thirds on or after April 2, 2022, and 100% on or after April 2, 2023. The conversion rate for the Preferred Units is the quotient of (i) the sum of (a) $1,000, plus (b) any unpaid cash distributions on the applicable Preferred Unit, divided by (ii) $20.0115 for each Preferred Unit. As of December 31, 2022, 333,333 Preferred Units are convertible, at the option of the holder, into a maximum number of 16,657,088 common units. As of April 2, 2023, all of the Preferred Units will be convertible, at the option of the holder, into a maximum number of 24,985,633 common units. The holders of the Preferred Units are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the common unitholders and (as proportionately adjusted for unit splits, unit distributions and similar transactions) will have certain other class voting rights with respect to any amendment to the Partnership Agreement that would adversely affect any rights, preferences, or privileges of the Preferred Units. In addition, upon certain events involving a change of control, the holders of the Preferred Units may elect, among other potential elections, to convert their Preferred Units to common units at the then change of control conversion rate. On or after April 2, 2023, we have the option to redeem all or any portion of the Preferred Units then outstanding, subject to certain minimum redemption threshold amounts, for a redemption price set forth in the Partnership Agreement. On or after April 2, 2028, each holder of the Preferred Units will have the right to require us to redeem all or a portion of their Preferred Units, subject to certain minimum redemption threshold amounts, for a redemption price set forth in the Partnership Agreement, which we may elect to pay up to 50% in common units, subject to certain additional limits. The Preferred Units are presented as temporary equity within the mezzanine section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets because the redemption provisions on or after April 2, 2028 are outside the Partnership’s control. The Preferred Units were recorded at their issuance date fair value, net of issuance cost. Net income allocations increase the carrying value and declared distributions decrease the carrying value of the Preferred Units. As the Preferred Units are not currently redeemable, and it is not probable that they will become redeemable, adjustment to the initial carrying value is not necessary and would only be required if it becomes probable that the Preferred Units would become redeemable. Changes in the Preferred Units’ balance are summarized below (in thousands): Preferred Units Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 477,309 Net income allocated to Preferred Units 48,750 Cash distributions on Preferred Units (48,750) Balance at December 31, 2020 477,309 Net income allocated to Preferred Units 48,750 Cash distributions on Preferred Units (48,750) Balance at December 31, 2021 477,309 Net income allocated to Preferred Units 48,750 Cash distributions on Preferred Units (48,750) Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 477,309

The distribution was paid on February 3, 2023, to unitholders of record as of the close of business on January 23, 2023. DRIP During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, distributions of $2.1 million, $1.8 million, and $1.9 million, respectively, were reinvested under the DRIP resulting in the issuance of 124,255, 118,399, and 188,695 common units, respectively. On August 5, 2020, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 for the issuance of up to 5,000,000 units under the DRIP. Warrants As of December 31, 2021, we had two tranches of Warrants outstanding, which included Warrants to purchase (i) 5,000,000 common units with a strike price of $17.03 per common unit and (ii) 10,000,000 common units with a strike price of $19.59 per common unit. On April 27, 2022, the tranche of Warrants with the right to purchase 5,000,000 common units with a strike price of $17.03 per common unit was exercised in full by the holders. The exercise of the Warrants was net settled by the Partnership for 534,308 common units. As of December 31, 2022, the tranche of Warrants with the right to purchase 10,000,000 common units with a strike price of $19.59 per common unit was outstanding and may be exercised by the holders at any time prior to April 2, 2028. The Warrants are presented within the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with GAAP as they are indexed to the Partnership’s common units, and require physical settlement or net settlement in the Partnership’s common units. The Warrants were valued at issuance using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Loss Per Unit The computation of loss per unit is based on the weighted average number of participating securities, which includes our common units and certain equity-based awards outstanding during the applicable period. Basic loss per unit is determined by dividing net income (loss) allocated to participating securities after deducting the amount distributed on Preferred Units, by the weighted average number of participating securities outstanding during the period. Loss attributable to unitholders is allocated to participating securities based on their respective shares of the distributed and undistributed earnings for the period. To the extent cash distributions exceed net income (loss) attributable to unitholders for the period, the excess distributions are allocated to all participating securities outstanding based on their respective ownership percentages. Diluted loss per unit is computed using the treasury stock method, which considers the potential issuance of limited partner units associated with our long-term incentive plan and Warrants. Unvested phantom units and unexercised Warrants are not included in basic loss per unit, as they are not considered to be participating securities, but are included in the calculation of diluted loss per unit to the extent they are dilutive, and in the case of Warrants to the extent they are considered “in the money.” For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, approximately 980,000, 829,000, and 634,000 incremental unvested phantom units, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per unit because the impact was anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2022, approximately 42,000 incremental “in the money” outstanding Warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per unit because the impact was anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, our outstanding Warrants were not included in the computation as they were not considered “in the money” for either period.

Initial contract terms typically range from six months to five years. However, we usually continue to provide compression services at a specific location beyond the initial contract term, either through contract renewal or on a month-to-month or longer basis. We primarily enter into fixed-fee contracts whereby our customers are required to pay our monthly fee even during periods of limited or disrupted throughput. Services generally are billed monthly, one month in advance of the commencement of the service month, except for certain customers who are billed at the beginning of the service month, and payment generally is due 30 days after receipt of our invoice. Amounts invoiced in advance are recorded as deferred revenue until earned, at which time they are recognized as revenue. The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize is based on the fixed-fee rate stated in each service contract. Variable consideration exists in select contracts when billing rates vary based on actual equipment availability or volume of total installed horsepower. Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, we allocate revenues to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone service fee. We generally determine standalone service fees based on the service fees charged to customers or use expected cost plus margin. The majority of our service performance obligations are satisfied over time as services are rendered at selected customer locations on a monthly basis and based on specific performance criteria identified in the applicable contract. The monthly service for each location is substantially the same service month-to-month and is promised consecutively over the service contract term. We measure progress and performance of the service consistently using a straight-line, time-based method as each month passes, because our performance obligations are satisfied evenly over the contract term as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by our service. If variable consideration exists, it is allocated to the distinct monthly service within the series to which such variable consideration relates. We have elected to apply the invoicing practical expedient to recognize revenue for such variable consideration, as the invoice corresponds directly to the value transferred to the customer based on our performance completed to date. There are typically no material obligations for returns or refunds. Our standard contracts do not usually include material non-cash consideration. Retail parts and services revenue Retail parts and services revenue primarily is earned on directly reimbursable freight and crane charges that are the financial responsibility of the customers and maintenance work on units at customer locations that are outside the scope of core maintenance activities. Revenue from retail parts and services is recognized at the point-in-time the part is transferred or service is provided and control is transferred to the customer. At such time, the customer has the ability to direct the use of the benefits of such part or service after we have performed our services. We bill upon completion of the service or transfer of the parts, and payment generally is due 30 days after receipt of our invoice. The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize is based on the invoice amount. There are typically no material obligations for returns, refunds, or warranties. Our standard contracts do not usually include material variable or non-cash consideration. Deferred Revenue We record deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance. Components of deferred revenue were as follows (in thousands): December 31, Balance sheet location 2022 2021 Current (1) Deferred revenue $ 62,345 $ 51,216 Noncurrent Other liabilities 2,789 4,823 Total $ 65,134 $ 56,039 ________________________ (1) We recognized $49.2 million of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022, related to our deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2021.

Transactions with Related Parties	Transactions with Related PartiesWe provide compression services to entities affiliated with Energy Transfer, which as of December 31, 2022, owned approximately 47% of our limited partner interests and 100% of the General Partner. Revenue recognized from those entities affiliated with Energy Transfer on our Consolidated Statement of Operations were as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Related-party revenues $ 15,655 $ 11,967 $ 12,372 We had approximately $52,000 and $18,000 within related-party receivables on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively, from these entities affiliated with Energy Transfer. Additionally, the Partnership had a $44.9 million related-party receivable from Energy Transfer as of December 31, 2021, related to indemnification for sales tax contingencies. See Note 16 for more information related to these sales tax contingencies. Pursuant to the Board Representation Agreement entered into by us, the General Partner, Energy Transfer, and EIG, in connection with our private placement of Preferred Units and Warrants to EIG, EIG Management Company, LLC has the right to designate one of the members of the Board for so long as the holders of the Preferred Units hold more than 5% of the Partnership’s outstanding common units in the aggregate (taking into account the common units issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Units and exercise of the Warrants).

Unit-based Compensation

Unit-based Compensation	12 Months Ended

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Unit-based Compensation	Unit-Based Compensation Long-Term Incentive Plan In January 2013, the Board adopted the USA Compression Partners, LP 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “LTIP”), which is available for certain employees, consultants, and directors of the General Partner and any of its affiliates who perform services for us. The LTIP provides for awards of unit options, unit appreciation rights, restricted units, phantom units, DERs, unit awards, profits interest units, and other unit-based awards. Under the LTIP, the maximum number of common units available for issuance is 10,000,000 and the term of the LTIP is until November 1, 2028. Awards that are forfeited, canceled, paid, or otherwise terminate or expire without the actual delivery of common units will be available for delivery pursuant to other awards. The LTIP is administered by the Board or a committee thereof. The General Partner’s executive officers, certain of its employees, and certain of its independent directors were granted these awards to incentivize them to help drive our future success and to share in the economic benefits of that success. All employees with phantom units have the option to have a portion of their award settled in cash and a portion settled in common units upon vesting, unless otherwise approved by the Board or a committee thereof. The amount that can be settled in cash is in excess of the employee’s minimum statutory tax-withholding rate. ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation requires the entire amount of an award with such features to be accounted for as a liability. Under the liability method of accounting for unit-based compensation, we re-measure the fair value of the award at each financial statement date until the award vests or is forfeited. The fair value is measured using the market price of the Partnership’s common units. During the requisite service period (the vesting period of the awards), compensation cost is recognized using the proportionate amount of the award’s fair value that has been earned through service to date. Phantom units granted to independent directors do not have a cash settlement option and as such, we account for these awards as equity. Each phantom unit is granted in tandem with a corresponding DER, which entitles the recipient to receive an amount in cash on a quarterly basis equal to the product of (i) the number of the recipient’s outstanding, unvested phantom units on the record date for such quarter and (ii) the quarterly distribution declared by the Board for such quarter with respect to the Partnership’s common units. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, an aggregate of 603,365, 638,903, and 741,963, respectively, phantom units (including the corresponding DERs) were granted under the LTIP to the General Partner’s executive officers, certain of its employees, and independent directors. The phantom units (including the corresponding DERs) awarded are subject to restrictions on transferability, customary forfeiture provisions, and time vesting provisions. Phantom unit awards granted after July 30, 2018 vest incrementally, with 60% of the phantom units vesting on December 5 of the third year following the grant and the remaining 40% vesting on December 5 of the fifth year following the grant. Phantom unit awards that were granted to employees of USAC Management prior to July 30, 2018 vested evenly over a three-year service period. Phantom units granted on or after July 30, 2018, vest in full upon a change in control. Award recipients do not have all the rights of a unitholder in the Partnership with respect to the phantom units until the units have vested. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, our total unit-based compensation liability was $17.7 million and $13.3 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, we recognized $15.9 million, $15.5 million, and $8.4 million of compensation expense associated with these awards, respectively, recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, amounts paid related to the cash settlement of vested awards under the LTIP were $3.0 million, $3.2 million, and $1.1 million, respectively. The total fair value and intrinsic value of the phantom units vested under the LTIP was $4.1 million, $4.0 million, and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The following table summarizes information regarding phantom unit awards for the periods presented: Number of Units Weighted-Average Phantom units outstanding at December 31, 2019 1,801,984 $ 15.09 Granted 741,963 12.55 Vested (223,658) 17.27 Forfeited (182,332) 15.36 Phantom units outstanding at December 31, 2020 2,137,957 $ 14.88 Granted 638,903 14.92 Vested (475,831) 15.13 Forfeited (71,261) 14.50 Phantom units outstanding at December 31, 2021 2,229,768 $ 13.57 Granted 603,365 18.31 Vested (386,916) 15.89 Forfeited (292,202) 14.10 Phantom units outstanding at December 31, 2022 2,154,015 $ 14.21 The unrecognized compensation cost associated with phantom unit awards was an aggregate $24.1 million as of December 31, 2022. We expect to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards on a weighted-average basis over a period of approximately 2.6 years.

The plan provides for discretionary matching contributions by us on an annual basis. Aggregate matching contributions made to employees’ 401(k) plans were $3.2 million, $3.5 million, and $3.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies (a) Major Customers We did not have revenue from any single customer representing 10% or more of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, or 2020. As of December 31, 2022, one customer accounted for 13% of our trade accounts receivable, net balance. As of December 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 14% of our trade accounts receivable, net balance. (b) Litigation From time to time, we and our subsidiaries may be involved in various claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, the resolution of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. (c) Equipment Purchase Commitments Our future capital commitments are comprised of binding commitments under purchase orders for new compression units ordered but not received. The commitments as of December 31, 2022, were $159.3 million, all of which is expected to be settled within the next twelve months. (d) Sales Tax Contingencies Our compliance with state and local sales tax regulations is subject to audit by various taxing authorities. Certain taxing authorities have either claimed or issued an assessment that specific operational processes, which we and others in our industry regularly conduct, result in transactions that are subject to state sales taxes. We and others in our industry have disputed these claims and assessments based on either existing tax statutes or published guidance by the taxing authorities. We currently are protesting certain assessments made by the Oklahoma Tax Commission (“OTC”). We believe it is reasonably possible that we could incur losses related to this assessment depending on whether the administrative law judge assigned by the OTC accepts our position that the transactions are not taxable and we ultimately lose any and all subsequent legal challenges to such determination. We estimate that the range of losses we could incur is from $0 to approximately $21.8 million, including penalties and interest. As of December 31, 2021, we had recorded a $44.9 million accrued liability and $44.9 million related-party receivable from Energy Transfer related to open audits with the Office of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (the “Comptroller”), wherein the Comptroller had challenged the applicability of the manufacturing exemption. During August 2022, a Compromise and Settlement Agreement (“Agreement”) was entered into with the Comptroller for the period January 1, 2008, through March 31, 2018, related to such open audits. Pursuant to an indemnification agreement between us and Energy Transfer, Energy Transfer paid all amounts due under the Agreement in full. As a result, the $44.9 million accrued liability and $44.9 million related-party receivable from Energy Transfer was reduced to zero as of December 31, 2022. (e) Environmental The Partnership’s operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations regarding water quality, hazardous and solid waste management, air quality control, and other environmental matters. These laws, rules, and regulations require the Partnership to conduct its operations in a specified manner and to obtain and comply with a wide variety of environmental registrations, licenses, permits, inspections, and other approvals. Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws, rules, and regulations may expose the Partnership to significant fines, penalties, and/or interruptions in operations. The Partnership’s environmental policies and procedures are designed to achieve compliance with such applicable laws, rules, and regulations. These evolving laws, rules, and regulations, and claims for damages to property, employees, other persons, and the environment resulting from current or past operations may result in significant expenditures and liabilities in the future.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which includes the use of estimates and assumptions by management that affect the reported amounts in these consolidated financial statements and the accompanying results. Although these estimates were based on management’s available knowledge of current and expected future events, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances. We consider investments in highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses	Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are recorded at their invoiced amounts. Allowance for Credit Losses We evaluate our allowance for credit losses related to our trade accounts receivable measured at amortized cost. Due to the short-term nature of our trade accounts receivable, we consider the amortized cost of trade accounts receivable to equal the receivable’s carrying amounts, excluding the allowance for credit losses.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories consist of serialized and non-serialized parts primarily used on compression units. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Serialized parts inventories are determined using the specific-identification cost method, while non-serialized parts inventories are determined using the weighted-average cost method. Purchases of inventories are considered operating activities within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are carried at cost except for (i) certain acquired assets which are recorded at fair value on their respective acquisition dates and (ii) impaired assets which are recorded at fair value as of the last impairment evaluation date for which an adjustment was required. Overhauls and major improvements that increase the value or extend the life of compression equipment are capitalized and depreciated over three When property and equipment is retired or sold, its carrying value and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and any associated gains or losses are recorded within our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of sale or disposition. Capitalized interest is calculated by multiplying our monthly effective interest rate on outstanding variable-rate indebtedness by the amount of qualifying costs, which include upfront payments to acquire certain compression units. Capitalized interest was $0.9 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets with recorded values that are not expected to be recovered from future cash flows are written-down to estimated fair value. We test long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that a long-lived asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable or will no longer be utilized within the operating fleet. The most common circumstance requiring compression units to be evaluated for impairment occurs when idle units do not meet the desired performance characteristics of our revenue-generating horsepower. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if the asset’s carrying value exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset, an impairment loss equal to the amount of the carrying value exceeding the fair value of the asset is recognized. The fair value of the asset is measured using quoted market prices or, in the absence of quoted market prices, based on an estimate of discounted cash flows, the expected net sale proceeds compared to the other similarly configured fleet units that we recently sold, or a review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to continue using.
Identifiable Intangible Assets	Identifiable Intangible Assets Identifiable intangible assets are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which is the period over which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows. The estimated useful lives of our intangible assets range from 15 to 25 years. We assess identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 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 goodwill was an indicator of potential impairment of the carrying amount of our identifiable intangible assets. Accordingly, we performed a quantitative impairment test of our identifiable intangible assets, by which we determined that they also were not impaired. No triggering events have been identified subsequent to the first quarter of 2020. We did not record any impairment of identifiable intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, or 2020.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill represents consideration paid in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for impairment annually based on the carrying values as of October 1, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise that suggest the carrying value of goodwill may not be recovered. We recorded a $619.4 million goodwill impairment for the year ended December 31, 2020, which reduced our goodwill balance to zero. Refer to the Goodwill section in Note 5 for more information about the goodwill impairment assessment performed during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the provision of services or the transfer of goods. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for providing services or transferring goods. Incidental items, if any, that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expenses. Refer to Note 12 for more detailed information about revenue recognition for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes USA Compression Partners, LP is organized as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As a result, our partners are responsible for U.S. federal and state income taxes on their distributive share of our items of income, gain, loss, or deduction. Texas also imposes an entity-level income tax on partnerships that is based on Texas sourced taxable margin (the “Texas Margin Tax”). Texas Margin Tax impacts are included within our consolidated financial statements. Our wholly owned finance subsidiary, USA Compression Finance Corp. (“Finance Corp”), is a corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and any resulting tax impacts are included within our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 8 for more detailed information about the Texas Margin Tax for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.
Pass Through Taxes	Pass-Through Taxes Sales taxes incurred on behalf of, and passed through to, customers are accounted for on a net basis.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair-Value Measurements Accounting standards applicable to fair-value measurements establish a framework for measuring fair value and stipulate disclosures about fair-value measurements. The standards apply to recurring and non-recurring financial and non-financial assets and liabilities that require or permit fair-value measurements. Among the required disclosures is the fair-value hierarchy of inputs we use to value an asset or a liability. The three levels of the fair-value hierarchy are described as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are those other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, our financial instruments primarily consisted of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and long-term debt. The book values of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable are representative of fair value due to their short-term maturities. Our revolving credit facility applies floating interest rates to amounts drawn under the facility; therefore, the carrying amount of our revolving credit facility approximates its fair value. Nonrecurring Fair-Value Measurements During the first quarter of 2020, certain potential impairment indicators were identified, specifically (i) the decline in the market price of our common units, (ii) the decline in global commodity prices, and (iii) the COVID-19 pandemic, which together indicated the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount as of March 31, 2020. We performed a quantitative impairment test as of March 31, 2020 that resulted in a goodwill impairment of $619.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Significant estimates used in our goodwill 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. Refer to Note 5 for further information on our goodwill impairment analysis.
Operating Segment	Operating Segment We operate in a single business segment, the compression services business.
