Explanation of Responses:
1. The Common Units reported were obtained from Compressco Partners, L.P.

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement between the Issuer and the underwriters of the initial public offering, the underwriters have an option to purchase up to 400,500 additional Common Units (the "Additional Common Units"), valued at $20.00 per Common Unit, by no later than July 14, 2011. (continued in footnote 2)
2. (continued from footnote 1) Any Additional Common Units purchased by the underwriters pursuant to their option will be issued to the public and the net proceeds from any exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase Additional Common Units (approximately $7.5 million based on the initial public offering price of $20.00 per Common Unit, if exercised in full) will be used by the Issuer to make a distribution to Compressco Partners GP Inc. ("CPGP"), the general partner of the Issuer. Pursuant to the contribution agreement between the Issuer and CPGP, any Additional Common Units not purchased by the underwriters pursuant to their option will be issued to CPGP.
