3 Feb, 2026Strategic investments and operational focus
Over $1 billion reinvested in capital-light, efficient equipment over the past five years, improving returns and reducing maintenance cycles.
Transitioned to more durable, electric and gas-burning equipment, phasing out diesel fleets for efficiency and longevity.
All operations currently focused in the Permian Basin, with plans to expand power services beyond oil and gas.
Free cash flow generation remains strong despite industry downturns, with $67 million generated year-to-date through Q2 2025.
CapEx cycle now in maintenance mode, allowing for scalable investment aligned with activity levels.
Service line expansion and ProPWR launch
Three main service lines currently, with ProPWR launching soon as a fourth, expected to quickly rival hydraulic fracturing in revenue.
ProPWR targets infield power generation for oil and gas customers, with future potential to serve data centers and AI projects.
220 MW of power equipment ordered, split between turbines and gas reciprocating generators, all expected to be contracted by year-end.
Inaugural 10-year contract for 80 MW signed, with all 220 MW anticipated to be under long-term take-or-pay contracts.
Modular approach to power generation provides redundancy and flexibility for customer needs.
Financial discipline and market positioning
Shifted capital allocation from share repurchases to funding ProPWR, reflecting belief in long-term growth.
M&A activity has strengthened service offerings, including acquisitions in wireline, cementing, and sand logistics.
Business model now resilient to market cycles, with industrialized, capital-light assets supporting durable free cash flow.
Company trades at a valuation discount to peers, seen as an opportunity for re-rating due to improved capital discipline and consolidation.
