SCF Partners Invests in Phoenix Service Partners to Support Rapid Growth
COLLEGE STATION, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SCF Partners (“SCF”) is pleased to announce its investment in Phoenix Service Partners (“Phoenix”), a service company specializing in high-horsepower, low-emission natural gas compression.
Respected industry veterans Randy Dean (CEO) and Rick Childress (COO) founded Phoenix in 2024. The team previously built and led two of the industry’s most successful contract compression companies, CDM Resource Management and Pegasus Optimization Managers. The partnership with SCF provides capital and strategic support to build Phoenix into an industry leader.
Phoenix delivers high-horsepower compression solutions to blue-chip customers, supporting critical energy infrastructure in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins.

Concurrently with the SCF equity investment, Phoenix also closed an asset-backed credit facility with a consortium of lenders. In total, these facilities provide Phoenix up to $350M of debt and equity capital to support its rapid growth.
“We are excited to partner with SCF as we raise the bar for service in natural gas compression,” said Randy Dean, co-founder and CEO of Phoenix. “Our top-tier talent and culture of excellence positions Phoenix to continue delivering unmatched reliability and efficiency for our customers.
