Exterran Holdings, Inc.

Conflict Minerals Report

 

Exterran Holdings, Inc. is a global market leader in the full-service natural gas compression business and a premier provider of operations, maintenance, service and equipment for oil and natural gas production, processing and transportation applications. We operate in three primary business lines: contract operations, aftermarket services and fabrication. As part of our fabrication business line, we manufacture products that contain gold, tantalum, tin and/or tungsten (collectively, “3TG materials”) and are required to comply with Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”), which requires, among other things, that we file this Conflict Minerals Report (this “Report”).  This Report covers the period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

 

This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and factors, many of which are outside our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. While we believe that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, we caution that there are inherent difficulties in predicting certain important factors that could impact the future performance or results of our business. Among the factors that could cause results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are: local, regional, national and international economic conditions and the impact they may have on us and our customers; changes in tax laws that impact master limited partnerships; conditions in the oil and gas industry, including a sustained decrease in the level of supply or demand for oil or natural gas or a sustained decrease in the price of oil or natural gas; our ability to timely and cost-effectively execute larger projects; changes in political or economic conditions in key operating markets, including international markets; any non-performance by third parties of their contractual obligations; changes in safety, health, environmental and other regulations; and the performance of Exterran Partners, L.P.  These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors, forward-looking statements and challenges and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and those set forth from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at  www.exterran.com. Except as required by law, we expressly disclaim any intention or obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and Due Diligence

 

Rule 13p-1 requires that we conduct in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) that is reasonably designed to determine whether any of our 3TG materials originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (each, a “covered country”). For 3TG materials that are found to have originated in a covered country, Rule 13p-1 requires that we exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of such 3TG materials.

 

Our manufactured products are primarily assembled using components obtained from our suppliers. We are several tiers removed from mining operations and smelters or refiners (“SORs”) and have no visibility into the upstream supply chain beyond our direct suppliers.  We thus had to request our suppliers’ assistance in collecting information regarding the presence of 3TG materials in the components supplied to us and, if present, information regarding the sourcing of such 3TG materials.

 

We conducted due diligence generally using the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (“OECD”) “Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas” as a framework:

 

·                  We have adopted a conflict minerals policy, which is available on our website at www.exterran.com.

 

·                  We have assembled an internal team to support supply chain due diligence.

 

·                  We are working to more clearly communicate expectations with regard to supplier performance, transparency and sourcing.

 

·                  Working with our suppliers, we have identified many of the SORs in our supply chain, and plan to take measures intended to increase the supplier response rate for our RCOI process.

 

·                  We compared our RCOI results with information collected via independent conflict free smelter validation programs such as the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“EICC/GeSI”) Conflict Free Smelter program.

 

·                  We are reporting annually, as required by Rule 13p-1, on our sourcing due diligence efforts.  This Report and the Form SD of which it is a part are publicly available on our website at www.exterran.com.

 

Information on the presence and sourcing of 3TG materials in the components supplied to us was collected and stored using an online platform provided by a third party vendor, Source Intelligence. This platform utilized the EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals Due Diligence Template (the “EICC-GeSI Template”), which includes standard supply chain survey and information tracking methods, to determine whether our manufactured products contain 3TG materials minerals necessary to their functionality or production and to perform our RCOI.

 

For 2013, we identified 2,237 suppliers as having supplied components to us that were included in products we manufactured. An introduction email was sent to each supplier describing the compliance requirements and requesting that the supplier complete the EICC-GeSI Template to provide information regarding the presence and sourcing of any 3TG materials in the components supplied to us. Suppliers that were not able to be reached through email were contacted via telephone or fax. Following the initial introductions to the program and information request, at least three additional requests (via email, telephone or fax) were made to each non-responsive supplier requesting completion of the EICC-GeSI Template. Suppliers that remained non-responsive to these repeated requests were contacted by phone and offered assistance. This assistance included, but was not limited to, further

information regarding our 3TG Materials Compliance Program, an explanation of why the information was being collected, a review of how the information would be used and clarification regarding how the supplier could provide the required information.

 

Suppliers were requested to provide information regarding whether 3TG materials were necessary to the functionality or production of the components supplied to us and whether such 3TG materials were sourced from one of the covered countries. Suppliers were further requested to provide information regarding the source and chain of custody of the 3TG materials, in an attempt to trace the 3TG materials to the SORs in which they were processed.

 

Supplier responses were evaluated for plausibility, consistency and completeness. Suppliers were contacted to address issues including implausible statements regarding no presence of 3TG materials in the components supplied to us, incomplete data on the EICC-GeSI Template, responses that did not identify SORs, responses indicating the sourcing location without complete supporting information from the supply chain, and organizations that were identified as SORs, but not verified as such through further analysis and research.

 

Of the 2,237 suppliers we identified as having supplied components to us that were included in products we manufactured, approximately 35.6% completed the EICC-GeSI Template as requested. Of these responsive suppliers, 23.8% indicated that 3TG materials were necessary to the functionality or production of the components supplied to us.

 

Product Description

 

The products we manufacture include the following, many of which we have determined, based on our supplier responses, include 3TG materials:

 

·                  Natural gas compressors;

·                  Oil and natural gas production equipment, including filter separators, sand separators, two & three phase separators, slug catchers, vent scrubbers, gas scrubbers, heated separators, glycol dehydrators, JT assemblies, production units, line heaters, coolers, H2S eliminators, BTEX eliminators, vertical and horizontal treaters, condensate stabilizers and vapor recovery equipment;

·                  Natural gas processing systems, including cryogenic systems, JT systems, dewpoint systems and amine systems;

·                  Water treatment equipment, including Sabian BWS filters, P-KLONE Hydrocyclone separators, ONYX pumps, Gas Liquid Reactors, REVOLIFT flotation systems and gas flotation tanks;

·                  Marine and offshore equipment, including pressure vessels, FPSO (floating production, storage and offloading) process modules, terminal buoys, turrets, natural gas compression units and related equipment;

·                  Critical process equipment for refinery and petrochemical facilities, including high-pressure heat exchangers, tubular reactors, urea equipment, ammonia converters, methanol reactors and hydrocracking/hydrotreating reactors; and

·                  Evaporators and brine heaters for desalination plants.

 

Rule 13p-1 requires that we report, if known, the facilities used to process the 3TG materials present in our manufactured products, as well as the 3TG materials’ countries of origin. As noted above, because our manufactured products are primarily assembled using components obtained from our suppliers, we requested these suppliers’ assistance in collecting information regarding the presence of 3TG materials in the components supplied to us and, if present, information regarding the sourcing of such 3TG materials.  We asked our suppliers to complete the EICC-GeSI Template in an effort to identify the SORs in which the 3TG materials present in our manufactured products were processed, as well as the associated countries of origin of such 3TG materials. Approximately 35.6% of our suppliers completed the EICC-GeSI Template as requested. Based on those supplier responses, following are the known SORs that processed the 3TG materials present in our manufactured products:
