   SECAUCUS, NJ (DTN) - USA Compression Partners (USAC) announced Monday (12/1) 
that it was acquiring J-W Power Company for approximately $860 million to boost 
by more than 20% the volume of natural gas compression that it provides to the 
market.

   Natural gas typically does not have enough pressure to travel hundreds of 
miles through pipelines or to be processed efficiently, and services like USAC 
and J-W Power squeeze the gas to high pressures, allowing it to move reliably 
through the midstream network that includes gathering lines, processing plants 
and transmission pipelines.

   The acquisition will add over 800,000 active horsepower to USAC's fleet 
size, creating a combined operational capacity of roughly 4.4 million 
horsepower, the company said in a statement.

   The combined entity will provide gas compression services across major U.S. 
gas basins and regions, including the Permian, Northeast and Rocky Mountains.
