Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	Note 1 - Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Description of Business Exterran Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Exterran Corporation,” “our,” “we” or “us”), a Delaware corporation formed in March 2015, is a global systems and process company offering solutions in the oil, gas, water and power markets. We are a leader in natural gas processing and treatment and compression products and services, providing critical midstream infrastructure solutions to customers throughout the world. We provide our products and services to a global customer base consisting of companies engaged in all aspects of the oil and natural gas industry, including large integrated oil and natural gas companies, national oil and natural gas companies, independent oil and natural gas producers and oil and natural gas processors, gatherers and pipeline operators. Our manufacturing facilities are located in the U.S., Singapore and the United Arab Emirates. We operate in three primary business lines: contract operations, aftermarket services and product sales. On November 3, 2015, Archrock, Inc. (named Exterran Holdings, Inc. prior to November 3, 2015) (“Archrock”) completed the spin-off (the ‘‘Spin-off”) of its international contract operations, international aftermarket services and global fabrication businesses into an independent, publicly traded company named Exterran Corporation. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Exterran Corporation included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S.”) (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are not required in these interim financial statements and have been condensed or omitted. Management believes that the information furnished includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary to fairly present our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . That report contains a comprehensive summary of our accounting policies. The interim results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. We refer to the condensed consolidated financial statements collectively as “financial statements,” and individually as “balance sheets,” “statements of operations,” “statements of comprehensive income (loss),” “statements of stockholders’ equity” and “statements of cash flows” herein. Recent Accounting Pronouncements We consider the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be not applicable. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”). The update requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statements of operations. The update also requires certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. On January 1, 2019, we adopted the standard using the transition method that allows us to initially apply ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Additionally, we elected certain practical expedients permitted by ASC 842 in applying the lease standard upon adoption. Upon implementation of the new lease standard, we did not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease at the date of initial application. For contracts entered into before the transition date, we used the lease classification under the accounting standards in effect prior to adoption. We also excluded initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application. As a result of this adoption, as a lessee, we recorded operating lease assets and lease liabilities of $21.2 million and $26.5 million , respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the lease assets and lease liabilities, including prepayments, was recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our statements of operations and cash flows. See Note 3 for the required disclosures related to the impact of adopting this standard. As a result of the adoption of the new lease guidance, the following adjustments were made to the balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 (in thousands): Impact of Changes in Accounting Policies December 31, 2018 Adjustments January 1, 2019 ASSETS Other current assets $ 44,234 $ (506 ) $ 43,728 Operating lease right-of-use assets — 21,181 21,181 Intangible and other assets, net 86,371 (353 ) 86,018 Total assets $ 1,567,054 $ 20,322 $ 1,587,376 LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS ’ EQUITY Current operating lease liabilities $ — $ 6,769 $ 6,769 Long-term operating lease liabilities — 19,737 19,737 Total liabilities 1,014,233 26,506 1,040,739 Accumulated deficit (208,677 ) (6,184 ) (214,861 ) Total stockholders’ equity 552,821 (6,184 ) 546,637 Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $ 1,567,054 $ 20,322 $ 1,587,376 From a lessor perspective, new customer contracts entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2019 have been assessed in accordance with ASC 842 and ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), as applicable and will be assessed accordingly in future periods. Additionally, for contracts determined to have lease and nonlease components, we have elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate the components and account for those components as a single component, if the applicable conditions are met. Furthermore, for contracts where the nonlease component is determined to be the predominant component, revenue will continue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were no new customer contracts or amendments to existing customer contracts that were assessed to be within ASC 842. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) . The update changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adoption will require a modified retrospective approach beginning with the earliest period presented. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the update on our financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The update modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing, modifying and adding certain disclosure requirements. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of the guidance and delayed adoption of the additional required disclosures is permitted until the effective date. Adoption will require a prospective or retrospective approach based on the specific amendments. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the update on our financial statements.

Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 from product sales performance obligations partially satisfied in previous periods was $212.2 million , of which $74.1 million was included in billings in excess of costs at the beginning of the period. The decreases in current contract assets and current contract liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were primarily driven by progression of product sales projects and the timing of milestone billings in the North America region. The increase in long-term contract liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily driven by advanced billings to contract operations customers in the Latin America region.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Note 3 - Leases As discussed in Note 1 , on January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 retrospectively through a cumulative-effect adjustment as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in ASC 842. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period. We primarily lease various offices, warehouses, equipment and vehicles. A right-of-use asset represents our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and a lease liability represents our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Our operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of lease payments over the lease term at the time of lease commencement, adjusted to include the impact of any lease incentives. Leases with initial terms of 12 months or less are not recorded on our balance sheets and leases that contain non-lease components are combined with the lease component and accounted for as a single lease component. Our lease agreements are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a variety of different terms and conditions. They generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Certain lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Additionally, some of our leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one month to 10 years. Options to renew our lease terms are included in determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we recorded expense of $2.0 million for our operating leases, of which $ 0.1 million of expenses related to operating leases with initial terms of 12 months or less. We do not have any material leases, individually or in the aggregate, classified as a finance leasing arrangement. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We used the incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date. As of March 31, 2019 , the weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate applied for our operating leases were nine years and 8% , respectively. As of March 31, 2019 , our lease assets and lease liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands): Leases Classification March 31, 2019 Assets Operating lease assets Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 29,782 Liabilities Operating - current Current operating lease liabilities $ 6,738 Operating - noncurrent Long-term operating lease liabilities 28,277 Total lease liabilities $ 35,015 As of March 31, 2019 , maturities of our operating lease liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands): Maturity of Operating Lease Liabilities March 31, 2019 Remainder of 2019 (1) $ 1,546 2020 6,998 2021 6,396 2022 5,437 2023 4,771 Thereafter 25,352 Total lease payments 50,500 Less: Imputed interest (15,485 ) Present value of lease liabilities $ 35,015 (1) Includes anticipated lease incentives of $3.8 million .

Discontinued Operations	Note 4 - Discontinued Operations In the first quarter of 2016, we began executing the exit of our Belleli EPC business that has historically been comprised of engineering, procurement and construction for the manufacture of tanks for tank farms and the manufacture of evaporators and brine heaters for desalination plants in the Middle East (referred to as “Belleli EPC” or the “Belleli EPC business” herein) by ceasing the bookings of new orders. As of the fourth quarter of 2017, we had substantially exited our Belleli EPC business and, in accordance with GAAP, it is reflected as discontinued operations in our financial statements for all periods presented. Although we have reached mechanical completion on all remaining Belleli EPC contracts, we are still subject to risks and uncertainties potentially resulting from warranty obligations, customer or supplier claims against us, settlement of claims against customers, completion of demobilization activities and litigation developments. The facility previously utilized to manufacture products for our Belleli EPC business has been repurposed to manufacture product sales equipment. As such, certain personnel, buildings, equipment and other assets that were previously related to our Belleli EPC business remain a part of our continuing operations. As a result, activities associated with our ongoing operations at our repurposed facility are included in continuing operations. The following table summarizes the operating results of discontinued operations (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Venezuela Belleli EPC Total Venezuela Belleli EPC Total Revenue $ — $ 137 $ 137 $ — $ 4,967 $ 4,967 Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) — (316 ) (316 ) — 2,403 2,403 Selling, general and administrative 35 541 576 32 60 92 Depreciation and amortization — — — — 428 428 Other (income) expense, net — (328 ) (328 ) 1 599 600 Provision for income taxes — 42 42 — 45 45 Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax $ (35 ) $ 198 $ 163 $ (33 ) $ 1,432 $ 1,399 The following table summarizes the balance sheet data for discontinued operations (in thousands): March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Venezuela Belleli EPC Total Venezuela Belleli EPC Total Cash $ — $ — $ — $ 3 $ — $ 3 Accounts receivable — 7,883 7,883 — 11,509 11,509 Contract assets — 277 277 — — — Other current assets — 410 410 7 86 93 Total current assets associated with discontinued operations — 8,570 8,570 10 11,595 11,605 Property, plant and equipment, net — — — — 28 28 Intangible and other assets, net — 1,629 1,629 — 1,633 1,633 Total assets associated with discontinued operations $ — $ 10,199 $ 10,199 $ 10 $ 13,256 $ 13,266 Accounts payable $ — $ 3,349 $ 3,349 $ — $ 4,382 $ 4,382 Accrued liabilities 15 5,811 5,826 12 7,831 7,843 Contract liabilities — 2,538 2,538 — 2,542 2,542 Total current liabilities associated with discontinued operations 15 11,698 11,713 12 14,755 14,767 Other long-term liabilities — 5,765 5,765 — 5,914 5,914 Total liabilities associated with discontinued operations $ 15 $ 17,463 $ 17,478 $ 12 $ 20,669 $ 20,681

Revolving Credit Facility We and our wholly owned subsidiary, Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P. (“EESLP”), are parties to an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) consisting of a $700.0 million revolving credit facility expiring in October 2023. As of March 31, 2019 , we had $65.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $55.4 million in outstanding letters of credit under our revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2019 , taking into account guarantees through letters of credit, we had undrawn capacity of $579.6 million under our revolving credit facility. Our Credit Agreement limits our senior secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) on the last day of the fiscal quarter to no greater than 2.75 to 1.0 . As a result of this limitation, $547.6 million of the $579.6 million of undrawn capacity under our revolving credit facility was available for additional borrowings as of March 31, 2019 . 8.125% Senior Notes Due May 2025 In April 2017, our 100% owned subsidiaries EESLP and EES Finance Corp. issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “2017 Notes”). The 2017 Notes are guaranteed by us on a senior unsecured basis. We may redeem the 2017 Notes at any time in cash, in whole or part, at certain redemption prices, including the applicable make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements The accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three categories: • Level 1 — Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which we have access at the date of measurement. • Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers. • Level 3 — Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect our own assumptions regarding how market participants would price the asset or liability based on the best available information. Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following table presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands): March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Foreign currency derivatives liability $ — $ 458 $ — N/A N/A N/A We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, including foreign currency exchange rate changes recorded on intercompany obligations. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency hedges to reduce our foreign exchange risk. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we entered into forward currency exchange contracts with a total notional value of $26.0 million that expire at varying dates through June 2019 to mitigate exposures in U.S. dollars related to the Argentine Peso, Brazilian Real and Indonesian Rupiah. We entered into these foreign currency derivatives to manage existing exposures to foreign exchange risk related to assets and liabilities recorded on our balance sheets and intercompany activity. We did not designate these forward currency exchange contracts as hedge transactions. Changes in fair value and gains and losses on settlement on these forward currency exchange contracts are recognized in other (income) expense, net, in our statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we recognized losses of $0.7 million on forward currency exchange contracts, which offset foreign currency gains recognized during the period. Our estimate of the fair value of foreign currency derivatives as of March 31, 2019 was determined using quoted forward exchange rates in active markets at March 31, 2019 . Foreign currency derivative liabilities are included in accrued liabilities in our balance sheets. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements The following table presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands): Three months ended March 31, 2019 Three months ended March 31, 2018 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Impaired assets—assets held for sale (1) N/A N/A N/A $ — $ — $ 21,026 (1) Our estimate of the fair value of the impaired North America production equipment assets (“PEQ assets”), which were classified as assets held for sale as of March 31, 2018 and sold in June 2018, was based on the expected net proceeds from the sale of the assets. Financial Instruments Our financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, receivables, payables and debt. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the estimated fair values of cash, restricted cash, receivables and payables approximated their carrying amounts as reflected in our balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of the 2017 Notes was estimated based on model derived calculations using market yields observed in active markets, which are Level 2 inputs. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the carrying amount of the 2017 Notes, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs, of $375.0 million was estimated to have a fair value of $383.0 million and $362.0 million , respectively. Due to the variable rate nature of our revolving credit facility, the carrying value as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 approximated the fair value as the rate was comparable to the then-current market rate at which debt with similar terms could have been obtained.

Asset Impairment Charges [Abstract]
Long-Lived Asset Impairment	Note 9 - Long-Lived Asset Impairment We review long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangibles that are being amortized, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, including the removal of compressor units from our active fleet, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the fourth quarter of 2017, we classified our PEQ assets primarily related to inventory and property, plant and equipment, net, within our product sales business as assets held for sale in our balance sheets. In June 2018, we completed the sale of our PEQ assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , we recorded an impairment of $1.8 million to reduce these assets to their approximate fair values based on the expected net proceeds.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring and Other Charges	Note 10 - Restructuring and Other Charges In the second quarter of 2018, we initiated a relocation plan in the North America region to better align our contract operations business with our customers. As a result of this plan, during the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we incurred restructuring and other charges of $0.4 million related to relocations costs. As of March 31, 2019 , the accrued liability balance related to this plan was $0.3 million . The charges incurred in conjunction with this relocation plan are included in restructuring and other charges in our statements of operations. We do not expect to incur additional charges with respect to relocation costs related to this relocation plan. The following table summarizes the changes to our accrued liability balance related to restructuring and other charges for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (in thousands): Restructuring and Other Charges Beginning balance at January 1, 2019 $ 309 Additions for costs expensed 384 Reductions for payments (411 ) Ending balance at March 31, 2019 $ 282

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Provision for Income Taxes	Note 11 - Provision for Income Taxes Our effective tax rate is affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amounts of income we earn, or losses we incur, in those jurisdictions. It is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but are not consistent from year to year. Our effective tax rate is also impacted by valuation allowances recorded against loss carryforwards in the U.S. and certain other jurisdictions, foreign withholding taxes and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The following items had the most significant impact on the difference between our statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% and our effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 : (i) a $3.0 million negative impact resulting from the recording of valuation allowances recorded against U.S. federal net operating losses and (ii) a $3.4 million negative impact resulting from foreign currency devaluations in Argentina. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased over the comparative period of March 31, 2018 primarily due to recording additional valuation allowance in the U.S. and additional tax related to foreign exchange movement in Argentina in 2019, and a valuation allowance release in Indonesia in the comparative period, partially offset by a decrease in foreign withholding tax.

Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	Note 12 - Stockholders’ Equity Share Repurchase Program On February 20, 2019, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock through February 2022. The timing and method of any repurchases under the program will depend on a variety of factors, including prevailing market conditions among others. Purchases under the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and we have no obligation to repurchase any amount of our common shares under the program. Shares of common stock acquired through the repurchase program are held in treasury at cost. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we repurchased 268,500 shares of our common stock for $4.7 million in connection with our share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2019 , the remaining authorized repurchase amount under the share repurchase program was $95.3 million . Additionally, treasury stock purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 included shares withheld to satisfy employees’ tax withholding obligations in connection with vesting of restricted stock awards.

Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Performance Units For grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units, we recognize compensation expense over the applicable vesting period equal to the fair value of our common stock at the grant date. Grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units generally vest one third per year on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. Certain grants of restricted stock vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and certain grants of performance units vest on the second anniversary of the grant date. The table below presents the changes in restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units for our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019 .

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share	Note 14 - Net Income (Loss) Per Common 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 restricted stock units that have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid. During periods of net loss from continuing operations, no effect is given to participating securities because they do not have a contractual obligation to participate in our losses. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental common stock equivalents attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock and non-participating restricted stock units, unless their effect would be anti-dilutive. The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands, except per share data): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Numerator for basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share: Income (loss) from continuing operations $ (5,557 ) $ 3,938 Income from discontinued operations, net of tax 163 1,399 Less: Net income attributable to participating securities — (138 ) Net income (loss) — used in basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share $ (5,394 ) $ 5,199 Weighted average common shares outstanding including participating securities 36,462 36,236 Less: Weighted average participating securities outstanding (816 ) (935 ) Weighted average common shares outstanding — used in basic net income (loss) per common share 35,646 35,301 Net dilutive potential common shares issuable: On exercise of options and vesting of restricted stock units * 72 Weighted average common shares outstanding — used in diluted net income (loss) per common share 35,646 35,373 Net income (loss) per common share: Basic $ (0.15 ) $ 0.15 Diluted $ (0.15 ) $ 0.15 * Excluded from diluted net income (loss) per common share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies Contingencies In addition to U.S. federal, state and local and foreign income taxes, we are subject to a number of taxes that are not income-based. As many of these taxes are subject to audit by the taxing authorities, it is possible that an audit could result in additional taxes due. We accrue for such additional taxes when we determine that it is probable that we have incurred a liability and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the liability. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had accrued $5.2 million and $5.1 million , respectively, for the outcomes of non-income-based tax audits. We do not expect that the ultimate resolutions of these audits will result in a material variance from the amounts accrued. We do not accrue for unasserted claims for tax audits unless we believe the assertion of a claim is probable, it is probable that it will be determined that the claim is owed and we can reasonably estimate the claim or range of the claim. We do not have any unasserted claims from non-income based tax audits that we have determined are probable of assertion. We also believe the likelihood is remote that the impact of potential unasserted claims from non-income-based tax audits could be material to our financial position, but it is possible that the resolution of future audits could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the resolution occurs. Our business can be hazardous, involving unforeseen circumstances such as uncontrollable flows of natural gas or well fluids and fires or explosions. As is customary in our industry, we review our safety equipment and procedures and carry insurance against some, but not all, risks of our business. Our insurance coverage includes property damage, general liability, 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. Litigation and Claims In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. While management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, it believes that any ultimate liability arising from any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation and arbitration proceedings, we cannot provide assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding to which we are a party will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Contemporaneously with filing the Form 8-K on April 26, 2016, we self-reported the errors and possible irregularities at Belleli EPC to the SEC. On April 8, 2019, the SEC provided written notice to us stating that based on the information they have as of this date, they have concluded their investigation and do not intend to recommend enforcement action by the SEC against us in connection with this matter. Indemnifications In conjunction with, and effective as of the completion of, the Spin-off, we entered into the separation and distribution agreement with Archrock, which governs, among other things, the treatment between Archrock and us relating to certain aspects of indemnification, insurance, confidentiality and cooperation. Generally, the separation and distribution agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our business with us and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Archrock’s business with Archrock. Pursuant to the agreement, we and Archrock will generally release the other party from all claims arising prior to the Spin-off that relate to the other party’s business, subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, in conjunction with, and effective as of the completion of, the Spin-off, we entered into the tax matters agreement with Archrock. Under the tax matters agreement and subject to certain exceptions, we are generally liable for, and indemnify Archrock against, taxes attributable to our business, and Archrock is generally liable for, and indemnify us against, all taxes attributable to its business. We are generally liable for, and indemnify Archrock against, 50% of certain taxes that are not clearly attributable to our business or Archrock’s business. Any payment made by us to Archrock, or by Archrock to us, is treated by all parties for tax purposes as a nontaxable distribution or capital contribution, respectively, made immediately prior to the Spin-off.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Exterran Corporation included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S.”) (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are not required in these interim financial statements and have been condensed or omitted. Management believes that the information furnished includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary to fairly present our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . That report contains a comprehensive summary of our accounting policies. The interim results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. We refer to the condensed consolidated financial statements collectively as “financial statements,” and individually as “balance sheets,” “statements of operations,” “statements of comprehensive income (loss),” “statements of stockholders’ equity” and “statements of cash flows” herein.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements We consider the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be not applicable. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”). The update requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statements of operations. The update also requires certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. On January 1, 2019, we adopted the standard using the transition method that allows us to initially apply ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Additionally, we elected certain practical expedients permitted by ASC 842 in applying the lease standard upon adoption. Upon implementation of the new lease standard, we did not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease at the date of initial application. For contracts entered into before the transition date, we used the lease classification under the accounting standards in effect prior to adoption. We also excluded initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application. As a result of this adoption, as a lessee, we recorded operating lease assets and lease liabilities of $21.2 million and $26.5 million , respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the lease assets and lease liabilities, including prepayments, was recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our statements of operations and cash flows. See Note 3 for the required disclosures related to the impact of adopting this standard. As a result of the adoption of the new lease guidance, the following adjustments were made to the balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 (in thousands): Impact of Changes in Accounting Policies December 31, 2018 Adjustments January 1, 2019 ASSETS Other current assets $ 44,234 $ (506 ) $ 43,728 Operating lease right-of-use assets — 21,181 21,181 Intangible and other assets, net 86,371 (353 ) 86,018 Total assets $ 1,567,054 $ 20,322 $ 1,587,376 LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS ’ EQUITY Current operating lease liabilities $ — $ 6,769 $ 6,769 Long-term operating lease liabilities — 19,737 19,737 Total liabilities 1,014,233 26,506 1,040,739 Accumulated deficit (208,677 ) (6,184 ) (214,861 ) Total stockholders’ equity 552,821 (6,184 ) 546,637 Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $ 1,567,054 $ 20,322 $ 1,587,376 From a lessor perspective, new customer contracts entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2019 have been assessed in accordance with ASC 842 and ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), as applicable and will be assessed accordingly in future periods. Additionally, for contracts determined to have lease and nonlease components, we have elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate the components and account for those components as a single component, if the applicable conditions are met. Furthermore, for contracts where the nonlease component is determined to be the predominant component, revenue will continue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were no new customer contracts or amendments to existing customer contracts that were assessed to be within ASC 842. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) . The update changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adoption will require a modified retrospective approach beginning with the earliest period presented. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the update on our financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The update modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing, modifying and adding certain disclosure requirements. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of the guidance and delayed adoption of the additional required disclosures is permitted until the effective date. Adoption will require a prospective or retrospective approach based on the specific amendments. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the update on our financial statements.
