Compressor Station Financing

Finance compressor packages and gas processing plant against throughput contracts rather than resale value, with terms set inside the agreement. Representative example: a $1,500,000 compressor package runs about $28,500/month.*

The Compressor package Reality

A compressor station isn't equipment you repossess and resell. Once it's set, piped, permitted, and tied in, it's effectively part of the ground it sits on — which means the financing case rests on the contract moving gas through it rather than on collateral anyone could remarket. That's a different underwriting conversation than a generic equipment lender is set up to have, which is why these deals so often get priced as though the plant were portable. We underwrite the throughput and set the term inside the agreement.

Payment Structures

The differentiation: four ways to own the same equipment, engineered to your cash flow. Compare them side by side on our structures page.

Operating Lease

Off-balance-sheet treatment with end-of-term flexibility — return, renew, or purchase. Often the right answer when technology cycles or accounting outcomes drive the decision.

$1 Buyout Lease

Own the equipment for one dollar at term end. Fixed payments, full Section 179 eligibility, and a clean path to ownership.

Seasonal & Step Payments

Payments that follow your revenue curve — lighter in slow months, heavier in peak season, or stepping up as new equipment ramps to full production.

Usage-Based & As-a-Service

Payments tied to hours, output, or consumption. The category Elevex is defining: pay for what equipment achieves, not what it costs.

Common Questions

How is fixed plant evaluated when it can't be remarketed?

The contract does more of the work than the iron. Throughput commitments, counterparty quality, and the economics of the gathering system are what a transaction like this rests on, with the equipment as secondary security — closer to project underwriting than to equipment lending. It's a different conversation than a delivery-date asset, and one worth starting early.

How does the gathering contract relate to the term?

Closely enough that they should be looked at together. A schedule ending with — or before — the agreement supporting it avoids the position where plant is still being paid for after the contract that justified it has rolled off, and where the contract carries renewal options the realistic case is a better basis than the optimistic one.

Can I finance a used compressor package?

Yes — used compressor package financing is standard business, whether the unit comes from a dealer, an auction, or a private seller. We value working assets on condition and remaining service life, not a blanket age cutoff, and set terms the equipment can actually support.

Does a compressor package qualify for Section 179?

Most business-use equipment placed in service this tax year qualifies for Section 179 expensing, financed or purchased outright — often meaning the first-year deduction outruns your first-year payments. Run your numbers on our Section 179 calculator and confirm specifics with your tax advisor.
