Expand Energy and Evolution announce a new agreement to deploy Evolution's 100% electric hydraulic fracturing technology in Northeast Appalachia

The deployment of Evolution's fully integrated, patent-protected gas conditioning, power generation services, and electric frac operations will provide a diminished noise profile, condensed equipment footprint, and streamlined surface layout. These features will contribute to a more controlled worksite with reduced congestion and fewer distractions to support workforce safety, minimize impact to nearby residents, and create a work environment that is easier to manage.

Through the agreement, Evolution's in-house digital technology suite will also be leveraged by Expand to provide real-time transparency into operational and environmental metrics, ensuring both teams remain aligned on their shared goals of safety, continuous learning, and constant improvement.

Expand Energy and Evolution's partnership is grounded in strong cultural alignment as well as a shared commitment to stewardship and operational excellence. Both companies approach safety as the foundation of performance, emphasizing disciplined planning, clear communication, and consistent execution to foster operating environments defined by control, predictability, and accountability to protect people.

This cultural alignment also supports the operational efficiency gains that the partnership is designed to deliver: When crews operate in a structured, well-communicated environment with fewer surprises, less reactive decision-making is required and execution becomes more consistent. Stable operations reduce unnecessary exposure, limit disruption, and allow teams to focus on running the job as designed. In this way, safety discipline and operational performance are directly connected, rather than competing priorities.

"We're excited to integrate Evolution's proven, disruptive electric fracturing technology into our completions program, advancing our commitment to efficient and responsible development," said Josh Viets, Chief Operating Officer for Expand Energy. "This collaboration positions Expand Energy to further differentiate our performance and improve capital efficiency while maintaining our uncompromising standards for safety and environmental stewardship. By incorporating Evolution's data capture and analytics capabilities into our digital ecosystem, we'll unlock new insights into how we stimulate our wellbores and elevate the consistency and quality of our execution."

"We are proud to partner with Expand Energy who shares our commitment to innovation, safety, and responsible energy development," said Nick Ruppelt, Chief Operating Officer of Evolution Well Services. "Our integrated electric fracturing, power generation, and field gas conditioning processing platform is built to support Expand Energy's mission to deliver the energy the world needs affordably, reliably, and responsibly. Together, our aligned safety cultures and advanced technology strengthen wellsite execution and demonstrate how a strong partnership drives reliable, high-quality completions."
