A New Era of Efficiency

next-generation fracturing is here

Future Ready Completions.

By introducing NGx, Canada’s first 100% natural gas reciprocating engine fracturing pump and a fully electric-driven backside, we're evolving our fleet while keeping our current asset base both relevant and future-ready.

Hybrid Fracturing Spreads for Fuel Flexibility.

STEP has the ability to configure hybrid fracturing spreads incorporating dual-fuel and NGx pumps to provide fuel flexibility, enabling operators to use the most advantageous fuel source based on project location, infrastructure, and economic considerations.

Canada's First 100% Natural Gas Reciprocating Engine Pump

NGx

Industry Leading Fuel-Savings without Compromising Performance.
As the first of its kind in Canada, this 3,600 HP internal combustion engine is engineered with STEP's proprietary ancillary systems and automation platform. This scalable, high-efficiency technology supports operators’ shift to lower-cost fuel, decreases overall fleet size and fuel consumption, and helps keep STEP’s asset base future-ready.

‍
Engineered for Efficiency. 

Lowest fuel cost to operate and first-in-class engine efficiency.
Twice as much pumping capacity as a conventional fracturing pump.
Seamlessly integrates with STEP’s Tier 2 and Tier 4 dual-fuel pumping assets for hybrid fleet configuration and variable diesel displacement targets.
Achieve up to 99.9% diesel displacement rate.

Maximizing Efficiencies, Minimizing Diesel Consumption

dual-fuel

Proven Technology.

STEP’s Tier 2 and Tier 4 dual-fuel 2,500 HP fracturing pumps provide operators with the flexibility to displace a portion of diesel consumption with natural gas, without sacrificing performance. Built for reliability, these units deliver consistent power output and operational efficiency on par with traditional diesel pumps.

The Benefits of Dual-Fuel.

Lower overall fuel costs of operation.
Reduce logistical requirements of bringing diesel to the jobsite which further decreases costs and eliminates associated transportation emissions.
Achieve up to 85% diesel displacement rate.
