Market trends and drivers

US crude oil production has doubled since 2008 and continues to rapidly increase, driven by advances in unconventional drilling and extraction methods. Compression, serving as critical infrastructure at every juncture in the oil and gas value chain, is poised to directly benefit from continued technological innovation and demand and supply expansion.

Specifically, the market trend is moving towards the centralization of compression providing for increased duration of use and stickiness for large compressors as more wells can be tied back to a centralized site. Nearly 80% of Kodiak’s fleet is comprised of high margin, large compression.
