ProPetro Announces ProPWR℠ Power Generation Business
December 10 2024 - 9:51AM
Business Wire
ProPetro Holding Corp. (“ProPetro” or the “Company”) (NYSE:
PUMP) today announced a new subsidiary, ProPetro Energy Solutions,
LLC, that will do business as ProPWRSM (pronounced as “Pro –
power”) and its initial order of over 110 megawatts of mobile
natural gas-fueled power generation equipment for use across
multiple oilfield and industrial applications.
Sam Sledge, CEO of ProPetro, stated, "We are thrilled to
announce our first organic service line startup in over a decade, a
testament to our willingness to innovate and draw on our
entrepreneurial roots. ProPWRSM is aimed squarely at the
growing power demand across the Permian Basin for both oil and gas
and developing infrastructure opportunities within the market, and
to create more certainty of power generation capacity for our
high-performance FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic
fracturing fleets. We have assembled a first-class team led by
industry veterans Travis Simmering, President of ProPWRSM,
and Dave Bosco, Vice President of Technical Services, who are
managing our operations and commercial efforts. By leveraging
ProPetro’s established platform and extensive customer base, they
are well-positioned to drive our success. As always, we will be
focused on premium service quality and reliability paired with
commercial creativity and innovation that all our stakeholders have
come to expect from ProPetro.”
Travis Simmering, President of ProPWRSM, commented, "We
are excited to provide a differentiated power generation experience
in the Permian Basin. The forecasted load growth for electricity is
significant and these assets will enable ProPetro to access growth
markets, inclusive of supporting ProPetro’s industry-leading and
expanding FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing
services which are currently utilizing approximately 140 megawatts
of mobile power generation capacity and growing. Our focus is
initially on oilfield power applications, but we fully intend to
build a platform that will be highly competitive in serving non-oil
and gas applications such as general industrial projects and data
centers that we believe are likely to gravitate towards the Permian
Basin. The combination of these mobile power generation assets
along with ProPetro’s established reputation as a leading service
provider positions ProPWRSM to capitalize on growing market
demand in the basin. With this initial order of over 110 megawatts
of mobile power generation assets, we are poised to execute on our
strategy of becoming the premier mobile power services provider in
the Permian Basin.”
This growth capital investment of approximately $122 million
will be funded through a combination of cash and external financing
resources with equipment deliveries anticipated to take place
between June 2025 and March 2026. The cash investment will consist
of up to approximately $20 million in early 2025 with the remaining
cost of the investment expected to be financed as progress payments
become due and deliveries ultimately occur commencing mid-2025. The
Company anticipates deploying these initial assets promptly
following their delivery commencing mid-2025 and early into 2026
under contracts, some of which are currently being proposed or
negotiated. The Company aims to build a diverse portfolio of mobile
power generation and related equipment, expanding well beyond the
initial 110 megawatts.
