USA Compression Partners (USAC) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire J-W Power Company, a privately held provider of compression services in the United States.
The US$860 million deal creates a combined fleet of approximately 4.4 million active horsepower and adds over 800,000 active horsepower to USAC’s stable across key regions including the Northeast, Mid-Con, Rockies, Gulf Coast, Bakken, and Permian Basin. According to Christopher Paulsen, chief financial officer and treasurer of USAC, “The vast majority is Cat/Ariel.”
The deal includes J-W Power’s aftermarket services and parts distribution, as well as its specialized manufacturing services. J-W Power has more than 30 locations throughout the United States and utilizes a logistics network that can deliver any part or accessory anywhere in the country overnight.
“This represents an exciting opportunity to increase our geographic footprint across the US and expand our existing customer relationships while acquiring new ones,” said Clint Green, president and chief executive officer of USAC. “By adding J-W Power Company’s high-quality fleet and expanding our presence in key basins, we are excited to expand our position as a leading provider of compression services. The combined entity will deliver meaningful scale, broaden customer relationships, and enhance our ability to service the growing demand for natural gas compression.”
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
Headquartered in Dallas, USAC provides midstream natural gas compression services to infrastructure applications primarily in high-volume gathering systems, processing facilities, and transportation applications.
