U.S. Well Services has unveiled results from its newly patented Clean Fleet technology. The hydraulic fracturing technology, recently implemented by Antero Resources, has demonstrated dramatic environmental gains as well as significant cost savings for oil and gas exploration companies.

Clean Fleet is proven to successfully decrease emissions by 99% and reduce sound pollution, in addition to offering operational cost savings of upwards of $40,000/day.

The U.S. Well Services Clean Fleet has been in use in the Marcellus shale at sites operated by Antero Resources. The results experienced both validate and exceed performance and environmental expectations.

In a release to its shareholders, Antero Resources noted the company’s usage of the Clean Fleet technology. Further validating the performance of the patented technology, Antero Resources has committed to its continued future use of Clean Fleet with additional long-term contracts.

U.S. Well Services CEO, Brian Stewart said, “We share Antero Resources’ excitement over the results of the Clean Fleet technology.  The performance of the new, patented technology is right in line with what we had promised, especially as it relates to fuel savings, emissions reductions, vibration and noise decreases as well as increased reliability. This is a breakthrough for them, but more, it is one for the industry and each of the communities that support hydraulic fracturing.”

Clean Fleet is a proprietary, patented system developed by U.S. Well Services that incorporates existing industry equipment configured to provide fracturing services with enhanced safety features, smaller physical and environmental footprints, and reduced noise levels at a lower cost relative to traditional fracturing equipment. 

The Clean Fleet is the industry’s first fully mobile, fully electric hydraulic fracturing system that is powered entirely by natural gas whereby conventional diesel engines are totally replaced with electric motors.

Clean Fleet has demonstrated the following results:

• It uses electricity produced by on-site turbine generators fueled by field gas, reducing fuel operating costs by 80%.
• It mitigates environmental exposure by reducing NOx and CO emissions by 99%.
• It eliminates 25 diesel truck deliveries to the well site for an average horizontal well completion, reducing traffic within communities while also mitigating associated fire hazards.
• It significantly reduces noise pollution emanating from the well site making the workplace safer and communities undisturbed.
• It incorporates advanced technology that reduces equipment and discharge iron vibrations by 80%, resulting in fewer failures and safer operations.

The Clean Fleet offered by U.S. Well Services consists of 14,500 psi technologically advanced hydraulic fracturing fleets manufactured by Stewart & Stevenson Manufacturing Technologies to U.S. Well Services specifications. The fracturing fleets are equipped to perform all aspects of pressure pumping operations.
