Product lines
Energy Infrastructure
Enerflex's Energy Infrastructure business allows the company to withstand the cyclical nature of the energy markets. The product line within this portfolio includes energy infrastructure solutions under contract for natural gas processing, compression, and treated water equipment. Enerflex’s infrastructure is deployed across the globe and provides comprehensive contract operations services to clients, including trained personnel, equipment, tools, materials, and supplies to meet their natural gas needs, as well as designing, sourcing, installing, operating, servicing, repairing, and maintaining equipment owned by the company that is necessary to provide these services. Client partners range from independent producers and regionally significant players to some of the world's largest energy producers, including national energy companies.
Contract Compression
Enerflex is one of the leading suppliers of natural gas compression infrastructure within the U.S.A., Canada, Latin America, and the Middle East, managing a global fleet of approximately 1.6 million horsepower.
Enerflex’s contract compression fleet of low- to high-horsepower packages are typically used in natural gas gathering systems, gas-lift, wellhead, and other applications primarily in connection with natural gas, NGLs, and oil production, and are made available to client partners on a contracted basis. When the company enters into a contract compression arrangement with a client partner, the initial term of the commitment generally ranges between one to five years, however, in some cases, initial terms or extensions to initial terms can result in arrangements of greater than 10 years. These contracts typically require Enerflex to provide all the engineering, design, and installation services to bring the equipment online, and may require Enerflex to make a significant investment in equipment, facilities, and related installation costs. Client partners generally pay a monthly service fee even during periods of limited or disrupted production, which enhances the stability and predictability of the Company’s cash flows. Additionally, the company does not have direct exposure to the fluctuations in commodity prices since Enerflex provides an up-time guarantee and does not take title to the hydrocarbon being compressed, processed, or treated.
The demand for Enerflex's products and services is driven by production of natural gas and crude oil, where compression is typically required to move produced volumes from the wellhead and through gathering systems. In addition, compression can also improve performance in maturing fields.
Build-Own-Operate-Maintain Solutions
Enerflex leverages its extensive expertise in engineering, designing, manufacturing, construction, commissioning, and operating and maintaining natural gas compression, processing, and treated water infrastructure solutions on a Build-Own-Operate-Maintain (BOOM) basis. Through this model, Enerflex handles all phases of a project, including the up-front cost of, and responsibility for, construction and commissioning, ensuring quality, safety, and reliability are consistent through the project life. Clients then pay Enerflex a monthly fee to benefit from world-class facilities, without the challenges typically posed by ownership, operations, and maintenance.
After-Market Services
Enerflex's After-Market Services product line delivers comprehensive mechanical services to client partners worldwide, including parts distribution; operations and maintenance solutions; equipment optimization and maintenance programs; manufacturer warranties; exchange components; long-term service agreements; and technical services. Utilizing an extensive network of branch offices, the product line primarily operates at client partner locations through trained technicians and mechanics.
