The multiyear contract with YPF includes electric pumping units and automated stimulation services.
Conflict‑driven price gains may be offset by higher costs, supply‑chain risks, and a limited appetite for new drilling activity.
The newest recipient of the title SPE Legend of Hydraulic Fracturing talks about his career, the evolution of fracture stimulation, the development of increasingly useful simulators, and the future of the oil and gas industry. The honor was given at the 2026 SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition.
