ProPetro Completes Purchase of Pioneer’s Pressure Pumping Assets and Enters into Long-Term Service Agreement
MIDLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ProPetro Holding Corp. (NYSE: PUMP) (“ProPetro” or the “Company”) announced today that, effective January 1, 2019, it completed its previously announced acquisition of the pressure pumping assets of Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE: PXD) (“Pioneer”) and became a strategic long-term service provider to Pioneer providing pressure pumping and related services for a term of up to 10 years. Under terms of the agreement previously announced on November 13, 2018, ProPetro acquired Pioneer’s pressure pumping assets (“PPS”) in exchange for total consideration of $400 million comprised of $110 million of cash and 16.6 million shares of ProPetro common stock, representing approximately 17% Pioneer ownership in ProPetro.
Dale Redman, ProPetro co-founder and CEO, stated, “We are pleased to materially expand our strategic relationship with Pioneer, a highly-regarded, industry-leading E&P that we have been fortunate to work closely with for several years. This transformative transaction creates the largest pressure pumper in the Permian Basin without adding incremental fleets to the overall market. Most important, I want to formally welcome our newest members to the ProPetro team of employees. We look forward to their long-term contributions and sharing best practices as we further differentiate our service offering for the benefit of our valued customer base.”
PPS assets include eight frac fleets with 510,000 hydraulic horsepower (HHP), as well as three coiled tubing units and associated equipment. ProPetro now has 28 frac fleets with 1,415,000 HHP in the Permian Basin. In addition, PPS assets include a best-in-class maintenance facility situated on 111 contiguous acres located near ProPetro’s current maintenance operations in Midland. As a result, the combination increases ProPetro’s scale in the Permian Basin and expands its leading operational track record while allowing Pioneer to improve capital efficiency and long-term cost competitiveness in its core operations.
