History

Shah ADCO Gas Services, Inc. (Shah ADCO) was formed in May of 2010 with the intent of becoming a provider of “true” contract compression services differentiating ourselves from other compression companies at the time. In June of 2011, Shah ADCO partnered with the Stephens Group, a private equity group out of Little Rock, Arkansas, to fund future growth. With our new financial backer in place, Shah ADCO set our first two compression units in January of 2012.

Shah ADCO’s service model and our industry-leading runtime, helped Shah ADCO garner strong relationships with customers in the upstream and midstream segments of the oil and gas market.

With these relationships in place, over the next five years Shah ADCO grew from those first two compression units to become the third largest contract compression services provider, and the largest privately-held compression services provider in the world.

In February of 2019, Shah ADCO proved again why we are “best-in-class” when we attracted the attention of an infrastructure fund managed by EQT Partners, Inc., becoming the first contract compression services provider backed by an infrastructure fund. With our new partner in place, Shah ADCO is poised to continue its unprecedented growth while maintaining focus on safety, customer service, and our most important resource: our employees.
