Sustainability Highlights

In October 2024, ProPetro published its second ProPetro ProEnergy ProPeople Sustainability Report, advancing our goals of increased disclosure and transparency regarding our operations. The report, which may be accessed on our website, highlights our commitment and approach to sustainability, and it provides an overview of our governance, oversight, programs, policies, and performance around sustainability matters that are important to ProPetro and its stakeholders. The scope of the report includes all businesses, assets, and joint ventures that were owned and operated by ProPetro at the time of its publishing.

​​SUSTAINABLY COMPETING​​​​​COMMUNITY INVESTMENT​​​​​SAFETY FOCUS​
In 2024, we saw continued results from our efforts to transition our fleet to more efficient and lower emissions equipment, closing the year with approximately 75% of our fleets utilizing next generation FORCE® electric equipment or Tier IV DGB equipment. We now have four FORCE® electric fleets in service with customers under contract with at least one additional FORCE® fleet expected to be placed into service in 2025. During 2024, the impact of these investments was reflected in our performance, as our FORCE® electric and Tier IV DGB equipment displaced almost 63 million gallons of diesel through the use of natural gas. Additionally, in 2024, we established our new PROPWRSM power generation business, which we expect to continue to drive progress in this area, while also filling a need to supply reliable, dispatchable electric power services to support our customers’ operations. We believe these investments and our focus on continued improvements in operating performance for these assets will support our competitiveness, while fostering a reduced emissions profile for our services.​​​We aspire to play a role in shaping the future of the Permian Basin by: • investing in education, ​ • donating to first responders and veterans, ​ • supporting health and wellness related organizations, and ​ • focusing on charities that support local children. ​ We do this through various charities and other organizations that are heavily involved in the Permian Basin communities where we live and work. The employee-created Positive United Morale Partners (“P.U.M.P.”) committee continued its charitable endeavors throughout 2024 by organizing and participating in: • wellness events, ​ • monthly events at our regional food bank, ​ • quarterly blood drives, ​ • Thanksgiving meal drive, ​ • school supply donation drive, and ​ • Christmas in Action renovation project. ​​​​Our approach to safety is based on close collaboration between our customers and our employees in completing each job safely. 2024 saw consistent performance, and we continue to pride ourselves on our commitment to safety and our commitment to each other, which we demonstrate and support through operational initiatives like our: • dedicated heavy haul team to reduce driving hazards, ​ • culture of training, accountability, and consistent improvement, and ​ • long-term relationships with teammates, customers, and stakeholders. ​​

2024 Performance Highlights

2024 was a pivotal year for ProPetro. Despite a challenging market environment, we gained market share in our hydraulic fracturing and cementing segments, provided strong operational performance for our customers, and continued the implementation of our fleet transition—finishing 2024 with four FORCE® electric fleets operating under contract with customers. Our FORCE® electric fleets, along with our Tier IV DGB Dual-fuel fleets, now represent approximately 75% of our hydraulic fracturing capacity. The Company also demonstrated the flexibility of its dynamic capital allocation strategy by opportunistically executing on its share repurchase program, completing the strategic AquaProp SM acquisition and starting its new PROPWRSM business line. Importantly, the Company’s accomplished these goals while significantly reducing capital expenditures as compared to 2023.

As of the end of 2024, following the divestiture of our Vernal, Utah cementing operations, our operations are focused in the Permian Basin, where we provide pressure pumping, cementing and wireline services and power. Our team’s performance in 2024 was achieved despite market headwinds, including continued customer consolidation and capital discipline, pressure on pricing and lower activity across the broader oilfield services industry. Our reputation for providing high-quality service, our adoption of leading technologies such as our FORCE® electric fleets and our Tier IV DGB Dual-fuel equipment, and our sustained, top-tier performance for our customers resulted in continuing strong demand for our services despite the challenging market. These achievements are a function of our employees’ commitment to excellence in efficient operations and safety and we intend to use the same attributes to drive the development of our new PROPWRSM power generation business in 2025 and beyond.
