2022 highlights

• Reduce diesel consumption and emissions:
  • We partnered a client in the WSCB to convert an entire fleet of pressure pumping units from conventional diesel to Tier 4 dual-fuel reflecting our shared commitment to reduce the emissions intensity of our operations
  • Tier 4 dual-fuel engines allow clients to displace up to 85% of the diesel consumed during operations with cleaner burning natural gas; this fleet can can reduce operational diesel consumption by approximately 70% compared to a Tier 2 convential diesel fleet
  • Our Electric Powered Integrated Combo (EPIC) unit combines four pieces of equipment required for fracturing operations (hydration, blender, chem storage, and data van) into one unit; this unit, when used as a part of STEP-XPRS spread decreases fuel consumption and associated emissions by up to 30% compared to a conventional fracturing fleet
  • Idle reduction technology has been incorporated into the Canadian fleet which reduces idle time, fuel consumption and associated emissions
  • STEP designed super b-trains transport 11% more tonnes of proppant to job sites which reduces diesel consumption, minimizes footprint, and reduces the number of trucks on the road
• Helped client reduce their use of fresh water; 100% of STEP's fracturing fluid systems can use produced water and other types of non-fresh water
