Custom Upstream worked under our pressure to deliver us a product ahead of schedule. Their engineers and I were able to work seamlessly together, sharing responsibilities of procuring both new and used equipment and working on the facility design. With a little creativity from both parties we were able to erect an efficient, functional, operator friendly compressor station and keep our equipment costs low.
