This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
USA Compression Partners, LP is a provider of natural gas compression services, a critical midstream activity for oil and gas production. The company owns, operates, and leases a fleet of compression units used to increase the pressure of natural gas, facilitating its flow through pipelines from wellheads to processing facilities. This service is integral to the extraction and transportation of fossil fuels. According to its public filings, the company’s operations are entirely focused on serving the U.S. oil and gas industry, with its revenue directly tied to the volume of domestic hydrocarbon production.
USA Compression Partners, LP is one of the nation's largest independent providers of natural gas compression services. Its business is entirely dedicated to the natural gas value chain, providing the compression equipment and services necessary to move natural gas through gathering systems, processing plants, and transmission pipelines. This makes the company's operations integral to the midstream segment of the fossil fuel industry.
The company's compression services are essential for transporting gas from both oil-rich shale plays and dry gas basins, including major production regions like the Permian Basin and Appalachia. Its revenue is derived exclusively from leasing and operating compression units for natural gas producers, processors, and pipeline operators, linking its financial performance directly to ongoing fossil fuel extraction and transportation. No evidence of a transition plan away from fossil fuel dependency was found in the materials reviewed.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
