Business Acquisitions | 4. Business Acquisitions August 2014 MidCon Acquisition On August 8, 2014, the Partnership completed an acquisition of natural gas compression assets, including a fleet of 162 compressor units, comprising approximately 110,000 horsepower from MidCon Compression, L.L.C. (“MidCon”) for $130.1 million. The purchase price was funded with borrowings under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility. The majority of the horsepower acquired is under a five-year contract operations services agreement with BHP Billiton Petroleum (“BHP Billiton”) to provide compression services. In connection with the acquisition, the contract operations services agreement with BHP Billiton was assigned to the Partnership effective as of the closing. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Partnership incurred transaction costs of approximately $1.0 million related to this acquisition, which is reflected in other (income) expense, net, in our consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement between the Partnership and MidCon relating to this acquisition, the Partnership directed MidCon to sell a tract of real property and the facility located thereon, a fleet of vehicles, personal property and parts inventory to our wholly-owned subsidiary Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P. (“EESLP”), an indirect parent company of the Partnership, for $4.1 million. The assets acquired by EESLP are used in conjunction with the compression units the Partnership acquired from MidCon to provide compression services. The acquisition of the assets by the Partnership and EESLP from MidCon is referred to as the “August 2014 MidCon Acquisition.” We accounted for the August 2014 MidCon Acquisition using the acquisition method, which requires, among other things, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their fair value on the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration transferred over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation based on estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
|  | Fair Value |
Inventory |  | $ | 2,302 |
Property, plant and equipment |  | 80,154 |
Goodwill |  | 3,738 |
Intangible assets |  | 48,373 |
Current liabilities |  | (372 | )
Purchase price |  | $ | 134,195 |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Goodwill and Intangible Assets Acquired Property, plant and equipment is primarily comprised of compression equipment that will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated average remaining useful life of 24 years. Goodwill of $3.7 million resulting from the acquisition is attributable to the expansion of our services in the region and was assigned to our North America contract operations segment. The goodwill recorded is considered to have an indefinite life and will be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The amount of finite life intangible assets, and their associated average useful lives, was determined based on the period which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows, consisting of the following:
|  | Amount (In thousands) |  | Average Useful Life |
Customer related |  | $ | 21,590 |  | 25 years |
Contract based |  | 26,783 |  | 5 years |
Total acquired identifiable intangible assets |  | $ | 48,373 |  |  |
The results of operations attributable to the assets acquired in the August 2014 MidCon Acquisition have been included in our consolidated financial statements as part of our North America contract operations segment since the date of acquisition. Revenue attributable to the assets acquired in the August 2014 MidCon Acquisition was $9.2 million from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2014. We are unable to provide earnings attributable to the assets acquired in the August 2014 MidCon Acquisition since the date of acquisition as we do not prepare full stand-alone earnings reports for those assets. April 2014 MidCon Acquisition On April 10, 2014, the Partnership completed an acquisition of natural gas compression assets, including a fleet of 337 compressor units, comprising approximately 444,000 horsepower from MidCon for $352.9 million. The purchase price was funded with the net proceeds from the Partnership’s public sale of 6.2 million common units and a portion of the net proceeds from the Partnership’s issuance of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6% senior notes due October 2022 (the “Partnership 2014 Notes”). The compressor units were previously used by MidCon to provide compression services to a subsidiary of Access Midstream Partners LP (“Access”). Effective as of the closing of the acquisition, the Partnership and Access entered into a seven-year contract operations services agreement under which the Partnership provides compression services to Williams Partners, L.P. (formerly Access). During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Partnership incurred transaction costs of approximately $1.5 million related to this acquisition, which is reflected in other (income) expense, net, in our consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement between the Partnership and MidCon relating to this acquisition, the Partnership directed MidCon to sell a tract of real property and the facility located thereon, a fleet of vehicles, personal property and parts inventory to our wholly-owned subsidiary EESLP, an indirect parent company of the Partnership, for $7.7 million. The assets acquired by EESLP are used in conjunction with the compression units the Partnership acquired from MidCon to provide compression services. The acquisition of the assets by the Partnership and EESLP from MidCon is referred to as the “April 2014 MidCon Acquisition.” We accounted for the April 2014 MidCon Acquisition using the acquisition method, which requires, among other things, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their fair value on the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation based on estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
|  | Fair Value |
Inventory |  | $ | 4,357 |
Property, plant and equipment |  | 314,556 |
Intangible assets |  | 42,474 |
Current liabilities |  | (827 | )
Purchase price |  | $ | 360,560 |
Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets Acquired Property, plant and equipment is primarily comprised of compression equipment that will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated average remaining useful life of 25 years.
