Diamondback Energy, Halliburton, and VoltaGrid adopt electric fracturing in the Permian Basin

Three energy sector leaders join forces to integrate electric hydraulic fracturing fleets, optimizing operations in the Permian Basin while reducing the environmental impacts associated with fossil fuels.

Please share:

Diamondback Energy, Halliburton Energy Services, and VoltaGrid LLC have announced a strategic partnership to deploy four electric hydraulic fracturing fleets in the Permian Basin. This initiative represents a significant step in reducing emissions linked to oil and gas operations while enhancing their efficiency.

A Modernized Hydraulic Fracturing

The new electric fleets incorporate Halliburton’s ZEUS™ technology, a fully electric fracturing solution providing 6,000 horsepower (HHP). This system combines electric pumping units, the Octiv® Auto Frac service for advanced automation, and the Sensori™ service for precise fracture monitoring.

This technology aims to lower the environmental footprint of operations by replacing traditional diesel-powered fracturing systems with cleaner, electric alternatives.

Optimized Energy Supply

To ensure reliable operation, VoltaGrid will develop advanced power generation infrastructure and expand its compressed natural gas (CNG) network. This strategy guarantees a consistent energy supply even when pipeline gas is unavailable, reducing emissions while boosting operational resilience.

A Partnership Committed to Sustainability

The three companies collaborate to balance performance and sustainability in the oil and gas sectors. According to Danny Wesson, Chief Operating Officer at Diamondback Energy, this alliance represents a key milestone toward reducing environmental impacts.

For Halliburton, the ZEUS platform embodies a major innovation in fossil resource management, maximizing asset value while limiting carbon emissions. Nathan Ough, CEO of VoltaGrid, highlighted that the project reflects a pragmatic approach to reducing emissions while addressing growing energy demands.

A Controversial Impact

Although the introduction of electric technologies improves the environmental performance of operations, hydraulic fracturing remains a method associated with fossil fuels and is controversial due to its potential impacts on water resources and methane emissions. This project focuses on improving existing processes rather than directly transitioning to renewable energy.
