Evolution Well Services (“Evolution”), the leading provider of electric hydraulic fracturing services, is proud to announce a 32-month extension of its partnership with CNX Resources (“CNX”). By the end of this new term, the two companies will celebrate a decade of collaboration, one of the longest exclusive continuous partnerships in the US Shale industry.
Since 2019, Evolution and CNX have worked side by side to advance safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible operations in the Appalachia Basin. Together, the companies have achieved numerous milestones, including:
Record-Setting Performance: Surpassing 500+ pumping hours per month in high-pressure Deep Utica development.
Safety Leadership: Maintaining a 0.00 Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) over the past 18 months.
Environmental Stewardship: Pioneering radical transparency in emissions reporting while introducing 100% natural gas burning equipment to Appalachia.
Tangible, Impactful, and Local Community Engagement: Partnering beyond the wellsite to advance the mission of Appalachian charities including the CNX Mentorship Academy.
“Partnership is a word often used in our industry, but this decade-long collaboration with CNX truly defines it,” said Steven W. Anderson, President and CEO of Evolution Well Services. “CNX introduced our electric frac technology to the basin in 2019, and the Evolution team is excited to continue executing safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible operations alongside the CNX team for the years to come.”
CNX Chief Operating Officer Nav Behl commented, “We are proud of our legacy of innovation and ongoing efforts to advance the state-of-the-art when it comes to community collaboration and sustainable operations. Being the first mover on electric frac in the region and our long-standing partnership with Evolution helped push the envelope on the efficiency frontier and contributed to CNX being the lowest cost operator in the Appalachian Basin. With the safety, environmental, and efficiency benefits of electric frac clearly demonstrated, we are pleased to enter another long-term contract as we work together to continue to prioritize Appalachia first.
With this contract renewal, Evolution Well Services and CNX Resources reaffirm their commitment to innovation, safety, and operational excellence—building on a decade of shared achievements and looking toward the future of responsible energy development in Appalachia.
