Houston, August 2, 2021/PRNewswire/ - NexTier Oilfield Solutions Inc. (NYSE: NEX) ("NexTier" or "Company") today announced the commercial launch of its power solutions division, the The department is committed to providing integrated fuels to serve the natural gas-powered fleet in the Permian Basin. With today's release, NexTier has taken another step forward in our commitment to provide low-cost, low-carbon solutions to the oil and gas industry.

The addition of Power Solutions combines the latest compressed natural gas (CNG) supply and on-site gas processing technology with NexTier's existing natural gas fueled completion service portfolio. This helps reduce fuel costs and improve the company's overall environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance at the wellsite. It does this by replacing most of the carbon heavy diesel with cleaner, more cost-effective natural gas fuels.

"As the only service company that provides alternative fuel supplies as part of our integrated completion product portfolio, NexTier's goals are more aligned with our customers' goals," said Aaron Hilber, NexTier's vice president of power solutions. "The key driver for achieving our common goal of reducing fuel costs and reducing emissions is NexTier's ability to maximize diesel emissions."

NexTier began supplying compressed natural gas to one of its ESG platinum fracturing fleet. Driven by overall efficiency and improved coordination, the operation has successfully increased the diesel displacement rate of the fleet's dual fuel pumps to over 80% during the operation period. There is also the company's proprietary pressure reduction system (PRS) on site, which can safely manage CNG transported to the wellsite via NexTier's CNG trailer. This pioneering PRS skid has higher reliability and the highest capacity on the market, even for the most demanding projects. PRS also uses patent-pending technology to eliminate the traditional challenges associated with introducing on-site gas into fuel supplies. All Power Solutions equipment is equipped with NexTier's MDT control system, and all aspects of operation can be viewed in real time through the NexHub® digital center.

To ensure the reliability of these innovative services, NexTier has signed an agreement to purchase natural gas with EagleClaw Midstream, the largest private midstream operator in the Delaware Basin, which established infrastructure throughout the Greater Permian. This strategic partnership provides NexTier with a unique operational advantage to obtain high-quality natural gas supplies. The compressed natural gas delivered to the well site originated from a gas station recently constructed by NexTier near Pecos, Texas.

"Today's announcement further strengthens our position as the supplier of choice for providing safe, efficient, and low-emission completion operations," commented Robert Drummond, President and CEO of NexTier. "The integration of gaseous fuels into our operations has formed consistency across the wellsite. This provides us with the greatest opportunity to reduce emissions and reduce operating costs by improving the efficiency of integrated operations. We are very happy to work with EagleClaw Midstream as Our natural gas suppliers cooperate."
