During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Partnership determined that certain compression equipment was no longer going to be utilized in its operating fleet.  This compression equipment was written down to its respective fair value, measured using quoted market prices or, in the absence of quoted market prices, based on an estimate of discounted cash flows.  The Partnership recorded a $1.2 million impairment of compression equipment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, and no such impairment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
