•Compressor Station

•Labor Cost: This is the annual labor cost associated with compressor station operation and maintenance.

•Insurance (% CAPEX compressor): This is the annual insurance cost expressed as a percentage of compressor capital cost.

•Property Tax (% CAPEX compressor): This is the annual property tax expressed as a percentage of compressor’s capital cost.

•Licensing & Permitting (% CAPEX compressor): This is the annual licensing and permitting cost expressed as a percentage of compressor capital cost.
