💻 Digital technologies are playing an increasing role in hydraulic fracturing operations, bringing many benefits, including ⚙️ equipment automation, 📊 analytics for improving frac design, 🚛 logistics, 🔮 predicting reservoir behavior, and ⚡ enabling real-time adjustments — just to name a few.
📑 Kimberlite's 2025 Hydraulic Fracturing Report reveals that operators see a role for both 🏗️ pressure pumpers and 🖥️ 3rd-party software providers to meet their future digital needs. Pressure Pumpers are viewed as being best suited for ⚙️ equipment automation and ⏱️ real-time monitoring, while 3rd-party software providers are seen as best suited for 🌐 digital platform development and 📈 predictive analytics.
🏅 Halliburton exhibits the strongest brand image among the pressure pumpers for leading in digital technologies, but expect the other major suppliers to 📣 increase messaging and 💡 communicate their digital capabilities — moves that will likely begin to cut into Halliburton's leadership position in the years ahead.
🤝 Among 3rd-party software providers, Corva, Cold Bore, Peloton/Wellview, and Subsurface Dynamics stand out as leaders in the 2025 Kimberlite report.
🚀 Although not yet widely recognized, pressure pumpers are expected to increase their digital agility in 📊 analytics and 💻 platform development in the future — creating new competition for 3rd-party software developers.
