š» Digital technologies are playing an increasing role in hydraulic fracturing operations, bringing many benefits, including āļø equipment automation, š analytics for improving frac design, š logistics, š® predicting reservoir behavior, and ā” enabling real-time adjustments ā just to name a few.
š Kimberlite's 2025 Hydraulic Fracturing ReportĀ reveals that operators see a role for both šļø pressure pumpers and š„ļø 3rd-party software providers to meet their future digital needs. Pressure Pumpers are viewed as being best suited for āļø equipment automation and ā±ļø real-time monitoring, while 3rd-party software providers are seen as best suited for š digital platform development and š predictive analytics.
š Halliburton exhibits the strongest brand image among the pressure pumpers for leading in digital technologies, but expect the other major suppliers to š£ increase messaging and š” communicate their digital capabilities ā moves that will likely begin to cut into Halliburton's leadership position in the years ahead.
š¤ Among 3rd-party software providers, Corva, Cold Bore, Peloton/Wellview, and Subsurface Dynamics stand out as leaders in the 2025 Kimberlite report.
š Although not yet widely recognized, pressure pumpers are expected to increase their digital agilityĀ in š analytics and š» platform development in the future ā creating new competition for 3rd-party software developers.
