Liberty Energy Inc. (NYSE: LBRT) is a North American integrated energy services and technology company that provides hydraulic fracturing and related completion services to onshore oil, natural gas, and enhanced geothermal exploration and production companies. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, the company was renamed from Liberty Oilfield Services Inc. in April 2022, reflecting a broadened energy transition focus alongside its core oilfield services business. Liberty is classified within the GICS Oil & Gas Equipment & Services sub-industry, a segment whose activity levels typically track North American drilling and completions spending.
Beyond pressure pumping, the company offers a vertically integrated suite of offerings including wireline services, proppant delivery, field gas processing and treating, compressed natural gas (CNG) delivery, data analytics, sand mine operations, and proppant handling equipment and logistics software. As of December 31, 2025, Liberty operated a fleet of approximately 40 active hydraulic fracturing units and owned two sand mines in the Permian Basin, providing direct control over a key input-proppant-that is essential to modern unconventional well completions.
Libertys operations span most major North American shale and tight oil basins, including the Permian, Williston, Haynesville, Eagle Ford, Denver-Julesburg, Powder River, Appalachian, Anadarko, Uinta, and San Juan basins, as well as the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and the Beetaloo Basin in Australia.
