Business Wire
Liberty Oilfield Services Inc. (NYSE: LBRT; “Liberty”) announced
today the successful completion of the rigorous field testing of
Liberty’s digiFrac™ electric pump. Developed by Liberty’s ST9
commercial equipment division, digiFrac is the industry’s first
purpose-built fully integrated electric frac pump with high power
density and significantly lower emissions relative to the best next
generation frac technology available in the market.
Final field testing for digiFrac was completed on a three well
pad with 24-hour operations for a large E&P partner in the
Delaware Basin of West Texas. The digiFrac pump represented 10% of
pumping capacity on location and affirmed confidence for commercial
production. The system became Liberty’s preferred capacity for rate
changes and adjustments with 0.1 barrel per minute micro control
system ability during the completions.
The field test comes after three years of internal research and
development resulting in the delivery of a state-of-the-art
electric pump engineered for flexibility, from adaptable electric
power sources to next generation equipment integration. The
digiFrac platform will allow flexibility to incorporate electricity
from central generation or the grid if available. The digiFrac pump
will also anchor a fully electric frac fleet by integrating with
Liberty’s existing electric wireline and backside equipment
including blender, hydration, and sand handling, culminating in the
industry’s first complete designed for purpose electric suite of
frac technology.
“The successful development and field test of digiFrac is a
milestone for the industry and reflects Liberty’s commitment to
continued innovation in ESG technologies. When commercialized,
digiFrac will represent the most advanced frac system available,
allowing our customers to raise efficiency and control of their
operations while lowering their emission profiles,” said Chris
Wright, CEO of Liberty.
“Adding the digiFrac electric pump allowed for precision rate
control we have not been able to accomplish before. The digiFrac
pump quickly became the control center of location. This technology
is going to be a game changer for future operations,” said Jesse
Dees, Liberty Service Leader for Eclipse crew.
