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,” “the Company,” “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. 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, 2019. 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. Certain reclassifications have been made for the prior year period to conform to the current year presentation. 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. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption across most industries. Efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have also resulted in decreased energy demand and additional weakness in energy pricing. While the pandemic did not materially adversely affect the Company’s financial results and business operations in the Company’s first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020, the broader implications of COVID-19 on our long-term future results of operations and overall financial condition remain uncertain. Due to the rapid market deterioration in March 2020, we concluded that a trigger existed and that we should evaluate our long-term assets for impairment. Our analysis concluded that no impairment existed as of March 31, 2020. 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 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. On January 1, 2020, we adopted this update using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this update was immaterial to our financial statements. For more information regarding the allowance for doubtful accounts, see Note . 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. On January 1, 2020, we adopted this update. The adoption of this update was immaterial to our financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The update simplifies the accounting for income taxes and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the update on our financial statements.

The Middle East and Africa region is primarily comprised of our operations in Bahrain, Iraq, Oman, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates. The Asia Pacific region is primarily comprised of our operations in China, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand. The following table summarizes the expected timing of revenue recognition from unsatisfied performance obligations (commonly referred to as backlog) as of March 31, 2020 (in thousands): Contract Operations Segment Product Sales Segment Remainder of 2020 $ 211,498 $ 277,862 2021 250,949 274,320 2022 199,409 45,700 2023 176,134 12,000 2024 149,701 9,000 Thereafter 364,936 29,398 Total backlog $ 1,352,627 $ 648,280 Certain of our aftermarket services contracts are subject to cancellation or modification at the election of the customer. If the primary component of our contract operations contracts is the lease component, the contracts are accounted for as operating leases. For these contracts, revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis. As of March 31, 2020, the total value of our contracts operations backlog accounted for as operating leases was approximately $177 million, of which $27 million is expected to be recognized in the remainder of 2020, $37 million is expected to be recognized in 2021, $39 million is expected to be recognized in 2022, $44 million is expected to be recognized in 2023 and $24 million is expected to be recognized in 2024. Contract operations revenue recognized as operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was approximately $7 million. Our product sales backlog includes contracts where there is a significant financing component. As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $43 million expected to be recognized in future periods as interest income within our product sales segment. Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities The following table provides information about accounts receivables, net, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers (in thousands): March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Accounts receivables, net $ 196,298 $ 202,337 Contract assets and contract liabilities: Current contract assets 41,554 46,537 Long-term contract assets 11,387 16,280 Current contract liabilities 106,399 82,854 Long-term contract liabilities 145,211 156,262 During the three months ended March 31, 2020, revenue recognized from contract operations services included $7.5 million of revenue deferred in previous periods. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 from product sales performance obligations partially satisfied in previous periods was $83.3 million, of which $18.9 million was included in billings in excess of costs at the beginning of the period. The decrease in current contract assets during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily driven by the timing of billings on contract operations services in Latin America. The increase in current contract liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were primarily driven by the progression of product sales projects and the timing of milestone billings in the Middle East and Africa region. The decrease in long-term contract liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily driven by advanced billings to contract operations customers in the Latin America region. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company estimates its reserves using information about past events, current conditions and risk characteristics of each customer, and reasonable and supportable forecasts relevant to assessing risk associated with the collectability of accounts receivables, contract assets and long-term note receivables. The Company’s customer base, have generally similar collectability risk characteristics, although larger customers may have lower risk than smaller independent customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2020 and changes for the three months then ended are as follows (in thousands): Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 6,019 Current period provision for expected credit losses 2,754 Balance at March 31, 2020 $ 8,773

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	Note 3 - 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 Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Belleli EPC Venezuela Belleli EPC Total Revenue $ 124 $ — $ 137 $ 137 Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) 96 — (316) (316) Selling, general and administrative 113 35 541 576 Other (income) expense, net 44 — (328) (328) Provision for income taxes 25 — 42 42 Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax $ (154) $ (35) $ 198 $ 163 The following table summarizes the balance sheet data for discontinued operations (in thousands): March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Belleli EPC Belleli EPC Accounts receivable $ 3,845 $ 3,990 Contract assets — 46 Other current assets 543 296 Total current assets associated with discontinued operations 4,388 4,332 Intangible and other assets, net 2,786 2,970 Total assets associated with discontinued operations $ 7,174 $ 7,302 Accounts payable $ 1,078 $ 1,503 Accrued liabilities 4,986 5,959 Contract liabilities 2,498 2,536 Total current liabilities associated with discontinued operations 8,562 9,998 Other long-term liabilities 1,045 758 Total liabilities associated with discontinued operations $ 9,607 $ 10,756

At March 31, 2020, taking into account guarantees through letters of credit, we had undrawn capacity of $593.6 million under our revolving credit facility. Our Credit Agreement limits our Total Debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) on the last day of the fiscal quarter to no greater than 4.50 to 1.0. As a result of this limitation, $415.2 million of the $593.6 million of undrawn capacity under our revolving credit facility was available for additional borrowings as of March 31, 2020. 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”). We guarantee the 2017 Notes 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 Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 7 - 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. 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, 2020 and 2019, with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands): Three months ended March 31, 2020 Three months ended March 31, 2019 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Long-term note receivable (1) $ — $ — $ 15,039 $ — $ — $ 14,697 (1) Our estimate of the fair value of a note receivable was discounted based on a settlement period of eight years and a discount rate of 6.2%. The undiscounted value of the note receivable, including interest, as of March 31, 2020 was $15.5 million. Financial Instruments Our financial instruments consists of cash, restricted cash, receivables, payables and debt. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying amount of the 2017 Notes, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs, of $375.0 million was estimated to have a fair value of $251.1 million and $371.0 million, respectively. Due to the variable rate nature of our revolving credit facility, the carrying value as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring and Other Charges	Note 8 - Restructuring and Other Charges The energy industry’s focus on cash flow, capital discipline and improving returns has caused delays in the timing of new equipment orders. As a result, in the second quarter of 2019, we began the consolidation of two of our manufacturing facilities located in Houston, Texas into one facility and announced a cost reduction plan primarily focused on workforce reductions. We incurred restructuring and other charges associated with these activities of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. These charges are reflected as restructuring and other charges in our statements of operations and accrued liabilities on our balance sheets. The cost reduction plan is expected to be completed in the second half of 2020 and we expect to settle these charges within the next twelve months in cash. At this time, we cannot currently estimate the total restructuring costs that will be incurred as a result of this cost reduction plan. In the second quarter of 2018, we initiated a relocation plan in the Latin American 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 relocation costs. The charges incurred in conjunction with this relocation plan are included in restructuring and other charges in our statements of operations. In the second quarter of 2019, we completed restructuring activities related to the 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, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): Cost Relocation Plan Total Beginning balance at January 1, 2019 $ — $ 309 $ 309 Additions for costs expensed — 384 384 Reductions for payments — (411) (411) Ending balance at March 31, 2019 $ — $ 282 $ 282 Beginning balance at January 1, 2020 $ 2,281 $ — $ 2,281 Additions for costs expensed, net 1,188 — 1,188 Reductions for payments (321) — (321) Foreign exchange impact (289) — (289) Ending balance at March 31, 2020 $ 2,859 $ — $ 2,859 The following table summarizes the components of charges included in restructuring and other charges in our statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 Employee termination benefits $ 335 $ — Consulting fees 200 — Relocation cots 165 384 Other 488 — Total restructuring and other charges $ 1,188 $ 384 The following table summarizes the components of charges included in restructuring and other charges incurred since the announcement of the cost reduction plan in the second quarter of 2019 (in thousands): Total Employee termination benefits $ 7,371 Relocation costs 907 Consulting fees 841 Other 488 Total restructuring and other charges $ 9,607

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Provision for Income Taxes	Note 9 - 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 affected 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 of (105.8)% for the three months ended March 31, 2020: (i) a (53.4)% negative impact resulting primarily from rate differences between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions including foreign withholding taxes, (ii) a (19.9)% negative impact resulting from foreign currency devaluations in Argentina, and (iii) a (37.8)% negative impact resulting from the recording of valuation allowances recorded against U.S. deferred tax assets. Our effective tax rate decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in income before income taxes, an increase in valuation allowances recorded in the U.S., a decrease in foreign withholding tax and a decrease in tax related to foreign exchange movement in Argentina in 2019.

Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	Note 10 - 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not repurchase any shares under this program. As of March 31, 2020, the remaining authorized repurchase amount under the share repurchase program was $57.7 million. Additionally, treasury stock purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 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, 2020.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share	Note 12 - 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 loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except per share data): Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 Numerator for basic and diluted net loss per common share: Loss from continuing operations $ (18,150) $ (5,557) Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax (154) 163 Less: Net income attributable to participating securities — — Net loss — used in basic and diluted net loss per common share $ (18,304) $ (5,394) Weighted average common shares outstanding including participating securities 33,163 36,462 Less: Weighted average participating securities outstanding (510) (816) Weighted average common shares outstanding — used in basic net loss per common share 32,653 35,646 Net dilutive potential common shares issuable: On exercise of options and vesting of restricted stock units * * Weighted average common shares outstanding — used in diluted net loss per common share 32,653 35,646 Net loss per common share: Basic $ (0.56) $ (0.15) Diluted $ (0.56) $ (0.15) * Excluded from diluted net income (loss) per common share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 13 - 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had accrued $3.5 million and $3.7 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 had as of that date, they have concluded their investigation and did not intend to recommend enforcement action by the SEC against us in connection with that matter. Indemnifications 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.

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 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. On January 1, 2020, we adopted this update using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this update was immaterial to our financial statements. For more information regarding the allowance for doubtful accounts, see Note . 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. On January 1, 2020, we adopted this update. The adoption of this update was immaterial to our financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The update simplifies the accounting for income taxes and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the update on our financial statements.
