Natural Gas Services Group, Inc. (NGS) specializes in providing natural gas and electric compression equipment and services to the North American energy sector. The companys primary business model revolves around the rental, design, and maintenance of compressor units used in oil and gas production and processing. Additionally, NGS offers aftermarket support, component sales, and installation services for its fleet.
Compression is a critical component of midstream and upstream infrastructure, as it maintains the pressure necessary to transport natural gas through gathering systems and pipelines. Unlike capital-intensive sales, a rental-heavy model provides recurring revenue streams and allows energy producers to adjust capacity based on fluctuating wellhead pressures.
