THE NEW STANDARD IN
FRACTURING INNOVATIONS
U.S. Well Services, LLC, provides high-pressure, hydraulic
fracturing services in unconventional oil and natural gas basins.
Both our conventional (diesel) and Clean Fleet® (electric)
hydraulic fracturing fleets are among the most reliable and
highest performing fleets in the industry, with the capability to
meet the most demanding pressure and rate requirements in the
industry.
Since our formation in 2012, U.S Well Services has experienced
phenomenal growth in terms of our customer base, operating
areas, fleet size, and product development. Always keen to
expand on our successes, U.S Well Services recently deployed our
9th fleet bringing the total Company HHP to ~290,000.
Our management team has extensive industry experience
providing completion services to exploration and production
companies. We focus on the most active shale and
unconventional oil and natural gas plays in the United States
where we believe we will have a competitive advantage due
to the high performance and durability of our equipment and
our ability to support high asset utilization rates that result in
more efficient operations.
Safety Vision Statement
Here at U.S. Well Services we believe that all incidents are
preventable and that priority one is having all employees go
home healthy every day.
To accomplish this mission, we actively encourage every
employee to take personal responsibility for their individual
safety as well as the safety of their entire crew. We have also
created "10 Pillars of Safety" to help our clients and employees
stay safe at all times.
Customer Satisfaction
We will strive to exceed our customer’s expectations by
improving the value of our services.
We will provide our customers with the highest quality of service
by employing a trained, motivated and safety focused workforce
while utilizing the best products and equipment available. We
work closely with our customers and maintain an open dialog
that facilitates honest, timely and transparent communications.
Our goal is to build mutually beneficial partnerships that create
greater opportunities for long term growth.
Reinvent the Frac Fleet, not the wheel
• Clean Fleet® uses electricity generated onsite by turbine
generators fueled by natural gas and has demonstrated
reduced fuel operating costs by as much as 90%
The World’s First Fully Electric,
Fully Mobile Well Stimulation System,
Powered by Natural Gas
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.
• Clean Fleet® mitigates environmental exposure by
reducing NOx and CO emissions by 99%.
• Clean Fleet® eliminates ALL diesel truck deliveries
to the well site for an average horizontal well completion,
reducing traffic within communities while also mitigating
associated fire hazards.
• Clean Fleet® Whisper™ Technology significantly reduces
noise pollution emanating from the well site making the
workplace safer and communities undisturbed.
• Clean Fleet® incorporates advanced technology that
reduces equipment and discharge iron vibrations by 80%,
resulting in fewer failures and safer operations.

Clean Fleet® runs on electric power generated by 5.7 MWe
natural gas fueled turbine generators. Consequently,
fracturing operations are cleaner, quieter, safer, and less
disruptive to neighboring communities.

NOx Emissions
Emissions
This reduction is achieved by eliminating all
conventional diesel engines and replacing
them with electric motors powered by
natural gas generators. Clean Fleet®
technology also eliminates methane slip
issues observed in conventional powered
dual fuel (diesel/natural gas) reciprocating
engine applications.

Clean Fleet® successfully reduces hazardous
emissions to near-zero levels. As confirmed
by independent 3rd party testing,
Clean Fleet® decreases emissions by 99
percent compared to conventional diesel
powered fleets, all but eliminating
environmental exposure to pollutants
such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon
monoxide. Specifically, NOx emissions
measured on the turbine exhaust stacks
were found to be 0.036 grams per kilowatt
hour (g/kW-hr) which is a drastic reduction
compared to the Environmental Protection
Agency’s (EPA) requirements for off-highway
diesel engines.

Clean Fleet®
Clean Fleet® Whisper Technology is the
industry’s foremost solution for quiet, low
noise impact hydraulic fracturing. Whisper™
well stimulation technology significantly
reduces noise pollution, making the
workplace safer and less disturbing to
surrounding communities.
More than 140 total monitoring locations were recorded and
the result was up to a 69% reduction in the average sound
pressure at the Clean Fleet® stimulation site.

Machine Diagnostics, Minimizing Downtime
USWS is leading the way in predictive maintenance and has
developed FRAC MD™ Machine Diagnostics, Minimizing Downtime
to mitigate fatigue and premature failures of our equipment. When
we listen to what the machines are telling us, we’ll greatly increase
reliability, safety, and predictability which all reduces downtime
and increases safe stages per day.
