Current report
While oil markets continue to evolve in response to dynamic global economic and geopolitical developments, North American production has remained relatively stable during 2025. Recent events, ranging from shifting tariff policies to rising regional hostilities and mixed economic signals affecting global oil demand, have not yet driven a meaningful North American production response. Larger, well-capitalized producers with strong balance sheets and highly efficient operations enjoy healthy well economics, enabling them to weather commodity price volatility. Intra-quarter price fluctuations created hedging opportunities, further tempering supply side reactions.
Current report
Producers are targeting a relatively flat production profile, sustaining a baseline of frac activity to offset the natural decline of producing wells. Completions activity is anticipated to gradually slow during the second half of 2025, reflecting disciplined capital deployment and contributing to market pricing pressure on services. This slowdown in activity is expected to accelerate equipment cannibalization and attrition, which fundamentally improves the supply and demand dynamics within the services industry over the cycle.
Current report
Amidst market pressures and near-term reductions in customer activity, the Company is planning to modestly reduce its deployed fleet count during the remainder of 2025 and reposition this horsepower to support expanded simul-frac offerings for its customers

Previous report
Global oil markets are contending with tariff impacts, geopolitical tensions, and oil supply dynamics, including the evolving OPEC+ production strategy and potential constraints on Iranian, Russian, and Venezuelan oil exports. While recent volatility in commodity prices is not immediately driving changes in North American production activity, oil producers are evaluating a range of scenarios in anticipation of oil price pressure in light of the foregoing. Gas producers could prove to be beneficiaries of potentially lower associated gas production in oily basins if oil production is curtailed. Larger, well-capitalized producers, that comprise a greater portion of present North American shale production, are better able to withstand a broader range of commodity prices.
Previous report
Most producers have targeted flat to modest production growth for 2025 and today’s frac activity supports maintaining current oil production levels. Natural gas fundamentals are expected to be more favorable during the year on rising LNG export capacity demand.

Previous wording
In early 2023, the Company launched Liberty Power Innovations LLC (“LPI”), an integrated alternative fuel and power solutions provider for remote applications. LPI provides CNG supply, field gas processing and treating, and well site fueling and logistics. LPI was formed to support the Company’s transition towards our next generation digiFleets℠ and dual fuel fleets, as CNG fueling services can be limited in the market, yet critical to maintaining highly efficient well site operations. Through the first quarter of 2025, LPI was primarily focused on supporting an industry transition to natural gas fueled technologies, serving as a key enabler of the next step of cost and emissions reductions in the oilfield. In January 2025, we announced LPI’s intent to expand into the distributed power business, where we expect to leverage our experience in providing electric power for our digiFrac℠ pumps into other areas inside and outside of the oilfield.
