About Monarch
Monarch was founded in February 2021 by Brett Schubert - President and CEO; Randy Garcia - Vice President of Operations; and Kolten Kelley - Vice President of Sales.
Monarch provides natural gas contract compression services with its zero-emission electric drive EcoFlex™ compressor fleet. The Company's EcoFlex™ fleet now serves a blue-chip customer base, including several of the largest operators in the Permian Basin, and has recently expanded to the Eagle Ford. Monarch also provides contract operations for customer-owned compression as well as turnkey solutions for compressor facility design and construction.
Monarch's EcoFlex™ compressor package utilizes an exclusive E-Skid™ design, allowing customers to take advantage of a modular variable frequency drive solution not before offered in the contract gas compression industry. "Our EcoFlex™ fleet provides customers with increased volumetric flexibility, superior reliability, and an ESG compression alternative that eliminates the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of a traditional gas-drive compression package," said Schubert. "While we are excited about the technology we are offering, internally we remain focused on a vision of providing our team and customers consistent, exceptional service in a work environment that focuses on family, professional growth, and pride in the product/service we deliver."
