Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Acquisitions | 4. Business Acquisitions On March 1, 2016, the Partnership completed the March 2016 Acquisition, whereby it acquired contract operations customer service agreements with four customers and a fleet of 19 compressor units used to provide compression services under those agreements comprising approximately 23,000 horsepower. The $18.8 million purchase price was funded with $13.8 million in borrowings under it’s Former Credit Facility, a non-cash exchange of 24 Partnership compressor units for $3.2 million, and the issuance of 257,000 of the Partnership’s common units for $1.8 million. In connection with this acquisition, the Partnership issued and sold to GP, our wholly owned subsidiary and the Partnership’s general partner, 5,205 general partner units to maintain GP’s approximate 2% general partner interest in the Partnership. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Partnership incurred transaction costs of $0.2 million related to the March 2016 Acquisition, which is reflected in other income, net, in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. We accounted for the March 2016 Acquisition using the acquisition method, which requires, among other things, assets acquired to be recorded at their fair value on the acquisition date. The following table summarized the purchase price allocation based on estimated fair values of the acquired assets as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
| Fair Value
Property, plant and equipment | $ | 14,929 |
Intangible assets | 3,839 |
Purchase price | $ | 18,768 |
Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets Acquired Property, plant and equipment is primarily comprised of compressor units that will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated average remaining useful life of 15 years. 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, and consisted of the following:
| Amount (in thousands) |  | Average Useful Life
Contract based | $ | 3,839 |  |  | 2.3 years
The results of operations attributable to the assets acquired in the March 2016 Acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as part of our contract operations segment since the date of acquisition. Pro forma financial information is not presented for the March 2016 Acquisition as it is immaterial to our reported results.
