91、scarefully,including the“Risk Factors,”“Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”andour consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus,before making an investmentdecision.Some of the statements in this prospec
92、tus constitute forward-looking statements.See“Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”OverviewWe are a leading provider of production optimization,artificial lift and methane abatement solutions for the oil and natural gas industry.Our products and services include a full range of equi
93、pment and technology solutions that enable our customers to efficiently andcost-effectively maximize the profitability and economic lifespan of the production phase of their operations.Our principal productsand services are organized into two business segments:(i)Production Solutions;and(ii)Natural
94、Gas Technologies.Our coretechnologies include high pressure gas lift(“HPGL”),conventional gas lift,plunger lift and vapor recovery unit(“VRU”)solutions,all ofwhich are overlaid by our proprietary digital technologies and solutions that enable real-time remote monitoring and control tomaximize effici
95、encies of our products and services.These products and services,including proprietary technologies such as HPGL,which was pioneered by Flowco,hold,in their respective categories,leading positions in growing markets,and are used extensivelyby the largest oil and natural gas producers primarily in the
96、 U.S.We generate revenues throughout the long producing lives of oil and gas wells,which may be able to produce for decades after beingdrilled and completed.As of September 30,2024 we operated a fleet of over 4,300 active systems enabling consistent revenuegeneration.We also sell other products and
97、services that help our customers optimize the value of their assets.We believe that thedemand for our products and services is more stable than demand for drilling and completion related services,and this demand hasresulted in a more durable,recurring cash flow for our products and services than is
98、typical in many other oilfield services.Theproduction phase of a new oil or natural gas well begins when it is brought online.From this point forward,the rate of production isdetermined by the geological characteristics of the reservoir from which the well is producing,the design and construction of
99、 thewellbore from the reservoir to the surface,and the elapsed time since the well is brought online.This rate of production typically fallsover time as the natural reservoir pressure declines and becomes insufficient to bring oil to the surface.This decline is particularlysteep for shale wells foun
100、d in onshore North American oil and natural gas basins.Artificial lift and production optimization technologies are essential to counteracting this decline,increasing production rates,andmaximizing hydrocarbon recovery,all of which improve the economics of a producing well.Artificial lift enables th
101、e economicproduction of oil and natural gas from shale wells that would be otherwise uneconomic.As a result,operating expenses associatedwith production optimization are less discretionary in nature,placing our solutions on a critical path for producers to generate positivereturns and maximize the v
102、alue of their wells.Furthermore,the production phase is the most stable and least capital-intensive phaseof the well lifecycle,driving consistent revenue,durable earnings and stable through-cycle performance for our business.Ourproducts are chosen due to their reliability and ability to aid our cust
103、omers in achieving maximum output and cash flow from theirproducing wells.Our products and services also integrate proprietary digital technologies that allow for remote monitoring and otherenhanced uses of our equipment.1Table of ContentsOur VRUs and other methane abatement solutions capture fugiti
104、ve emissions of methane,which is a natural byproduct of oilproduction.As oil flows to the surface and is processed at the wellsite,methane is released as associated gas.Since methane is avery small molecule,much of it escapes as fugitive emissions.In addition,many sources of potential methane emissi
105、ons existthroughout the natural gas value chain.By capturing these fugitive emissions,our VRUs and other methane abatement solutionsallow for monetization of the resulting incremental natural gas volumes and enable our customers to meet their decarbonization goalsand comply with regulatory requireme
106、nts.These innovative and proprietary methane abatement solutions extend across each of ourcore technologies and can be used on their own as well as in conjunction with our other products and services.Demand for thesesolutions was initially driven by safety benefits,but accelerated as producers becam
107、e more aware of the value of monetizing capturedvapors,leading to high return on investment outcomes for our customers.Due to recent and emerging regulatory requirements aimedat reducing fugitive methane emissions across oil and natural gas operations from numerous Federal and state-level entities,o
108、perating expenses associated with our methane abatement solutions have become increasingly required and thereforenon-discretionary in nature.We hold a leading position in the rapidly growing VRU market,which is driven by both economic andenvironmental benefits,and we have helped drive adoption of ou
109、r methane abatement solutions with our customers.We have an operating presence in every major onshore oil and natural gas producing region in the U.S.and have cultivated deep andlongstanding customer relationships with leading oil and natural gas producers in each region,including supermajors and la
110、rgeindependent producers.We are headquartered in Houston,Texas with major service facilities in Midland,Texas;Carlsbad,NewMexico;and Williston,North Dakota.We operate manufacturing and repair facilities in El Reno,Oklahoma;Houston,Fort Worth,Kilgore and Pampa,Texas;and Lafayette,Louisiana.Our servic
111、e centers are geographically positioned near our customersoperations,enabling us to rapidly deploy our solutions and provide responsive,high-quality service nationwide.We had approximately1,270 full-time employees as of September 30,2024.Our business currently operates under two segments:(i)Producti
112、on Solutions;and(ii)Natural Gas Technologies.Production Solutions.We design and deliver products and services that enable our customers to optimize oil and natural gasproduction rates and volumes to maximize cash flow over the decades-long lives of their wells.2Table of ContentsWe provide systems ap
113、plicable to wells from initial production through their natural decline to late-life production,as well as digitaltechnologies that enable the optimization of our systems performance and uptime.We also provide methane abatement solutionsthat enable our customers to capture and monetize fugitive meth
114、ane emissions,improving the profitability of their wells and theircompliance with recent and forthcoming emissions-related regulatory requirements.On a given well,our customers often use three ofour production solutions offerings concurrently,utilizing our digital technologies and methane abatement
115、solutions in conjunction withHPGL,conventional gas lift or plunger lift.Furthermore,in many instances,our customers utilize all of our production solutions overthe life of a well,as our HPGL transitions to conventional gas lift in mid-stage production,which transitions to plunger lift in later-stage
116、production.In some instances,customers install conventional gas lift components such as side-pocket mandrels at the same time asHPGL,even though the former may not be used for more than a year.We believe our integrated scope of services throughout the lifeof the well promotes retention and long-term
117、 partnerships with our customers.In the nine months ended September 30,2024,thissegment contributed$327.8 million,or 60%of our pro forma revenue.Our production solutions include:High Pressure Gas Lift.HPGL systems are placed at the wellsite to inject pressurized natural gas into the wellbore.Thesesy
118、stems are typically installed when a well is initially brought online and utilized for the first one to two years of the wells life.Highpressure gas injected deep in the well lightens the liquid column,enabling the flow of oil from the formation into the wellbore at flowrates significantly higher th
119、an what is otherwise possible.We believe our HPGL systems can deliver the same,or better,productionrates when compared to electric submersible pump(“ESP”)systems,which are commonly used for the initial phase of a wellsproduction.We developed HPGL technology to address several issues in shale well pr
120、oduction which became apparent when theshales emerged as a major new source of oil and which can impact the reliability of ESPs.HPGL is designed to operate effectivelyover a wide range of production rates and to be resilient to produced sand.The rapid decline rates and sand production typical ofshal
121、e wells can lead to failure of ESP systems,resulting in lost production and a costly intervention and replacement of downholecomponents.Unlike ESPs,HPGL requires no downhole components beyond the tubing string that is installed on all unconventionalwells.The system is entirely controlled and accessi
122、ble from the surface,leading to improved uptime and return on investment forthe producer.HPGL units are provided to customers under contracts which are typically renewed multiple times.We believe thehigh level of contract renewal is due to the high reliability of our systems and our high levels of c
123、ustomer service.Conventional Gas Lift.Conventional gas lift systems utilize surface systems placed at the wellsite to inject pressurized naturalgas into the wellbore via a series of specifically tuned downhole valves.Conventional gas lift is typically installed after HPGL andutilized in the mid-to l
124、ate-stage of a wells producing life.We are the only company capable of providing a comprehensive,customized conventional gas lift system since we provide both surface gas lift systems and high-precision downhole valves,mandrels and gauges.Over the life of the well,we work closely with our customers
125、to modify both the surface and downholeequipment to optimize the value of the well as conditions change.This process of technical consultation and provision of newservices and products continues throughout the life of the well,which may span a decade or more.Plunger Lift.We sell proprietary plunger
126、lift systems that use the wells natural energy to lift produced liquids to surface.Thesesystems first allow the wells natural pressure to build and then release the pressure into production equipment at surface,thenrepeat the cycle.The periodic release of pressure lifts produced liquids to surface,e
127、nabling the production of both oil and naturalgas.Plunger lift systems are typically installed on wells that have already been producing for multiple years.In many instances,customers transition from our conventional gas lift systems to our plunger lift systems,often as a direct result of our 3Table

214、 expect to grow our presence in the U.S.by capitalizing on important trends in the oil and natural gas industry that play to ourstrengths.Gas lift,including HPGL,is seeing increasing adoption as oil and gas producers are increasingly concerned about thereliability of their artificial lift systems.We
215、 believe gas lift is more reliable than ESPs due to having fewer electrical and moving partsdownhole,which leads to a superior value proposition through the elimination of downhole failures which result in lost production andsubstantial intervention and pump replacement costs.Furthermore,when compar
216、ed with ESPs,gas lift systems are generally moretolerant of high temperatures and pressures,better suited for handling sand and other solids,more resilient to changing wellconditions and easier to maintain.We currently serve a significant portion of the addressed HPGL market and intend to uphold our
217、market leading position as we continue to grow into the largely unaddressed total addressable market(“TAM”).Oil and natural gasproducers are also increasingly motivated to capture previously vented methane through the use of our VRUs,due to both economicand regulatory incentives.We were instrumental
218、 in helping our customers realize and adopt this technology and we expect to seefurther adoption by oil and natural gas producers.We believe we are the largest provider serving the largely unaddressed NorthAmerican market for VRUs.Importantly,the growth outlook for gas lift and VRU demand is not dep

221、chain to continue our strong track record of innovationand rapid product development,and to enhance our profitability and returns.Our commitment to continuous improvement across ourcore product suite spurs new product initiatives both internally and while working closely with our customers throughou
222、t the productlifecycle.Many of our products are installed and on location with customers for months or years at a time,leading to abundant dataand feedback from customers on product performance,outcomes and improvement opportunities.For example,we 10Table of Contentspioneered the HPGL technology in
223、2017 alongside one of our key customers in our conventional gas lift market.Today,HPGL hasbecome a preferred alternative to ESPs due to the elimination of downhole equipment failures,which lead to lost production andintervention and pump replacement costs associated with ESP usage.Additionally,our V
224、RUs offer increased safety and economicvalue capture while making meaningful emissions reductions at the wellhead.While many of our customers initially sought to employVRUs due to environmental and decarbonization goals,they now leverage VRUs as an economic driver to monetize fugitiveemissions with
225、high value gas vapors.As customer demand grows,our domestic manufacturing footprint can support additional scalewhile mitigating risks associated with sourcing important components,enabling us to capture manufacturing margin and enhancereturn on our service equipment.We have also strategically posit
