Liberty CEO Ron Gusek Delivers Keynote at EnerCom Denver 2025

Liberty's CEO, Ron Gusek, took the stage at the EnerCom Denver 2025 Conference, the premier independent investor event for the oil, gas, and broader energy industry. For 30 years, EnerCom has provided energy professionals and investors a unique opportunity to hear directly from senior management teams about strategies to drive growth, fund operations, generate cash flow, and create stakeholder value.

Ron's presentation, titled "Liberty: Engineering the Energy Future,"highlighted Liberty's legacy and ongoing role in the shale revolution. Reflecting on the company's journey, Ron said, "Couldn't have imagined the journey that we would have found ourselves on over the next 15 years. And we started out with a very, very simple mission at Liberty, and that was to build the best damn frac company, period. I don't know how many of you follow the Kimberlite survey, but the results for this year just came out. And I think now for eight years in a row which is maybe as long as the Kimberlite survey has happened, Liberty has been ranked the number one frac company in the United States. And so, I'm incredibly proud that we have successfully accomplished the goal we set out to achieve."

He also emphasized the importance of people and culture at Liberty, which are at the center of everything we do, explaining, "Of course, we're very people intensive. You can see we have a little more than 5,500 employees today. If you could create a culture where people would want to come and stay and make a career of it, particularly out in the field, we believed you could do differential things, you could deliver a differential offering that was unrivaled in the space. And so, that was our whole goal from the very outset, was to create an environment where particularly those staff that are at the tip of the spear, the folks that are running the pumps, the blender, the hydration unit who are doing equipment maintenance, the e-techs and the mechanics, would want to come and stay, and not just stay for a while, but to stay for their career. And that if we could accomplish that, amazing things would happen."

During the keynote, Ron also described Liberty's approach to operational control and technology: "We made a very, very conscious decision as we launched the digi platform to get into the CNG business. We own our own compression facilities in both here in the DJ and down in Texas. We own our own trucking fleet to deliver that CNG to the field. We own the equipment to distribute that gas to our equipment on location. We own gas processing equipment for when we are going to use field gas. All of that with the goal of ensuring that we can execute at the highest level that our pumps are getting the - not only the volume of fuel, but at the right conditions, at the - and with the right quality to ensure successful execution."

Ron also highlighted Liberty's strategic growth beyond fracturing, including international expansion and the launch of a power business, part of Liberty Power Innovations. "Power generation co-located with an asset offers you a very, very different opportunity. Once the capital's invested and presuming we have control over the fuel supply which we certainly do from a midstream standpoint, there is a real opportunity to provide long-term surety around the price of power generation, and it's certainly at a price that could be very, very competitive with the grid today, and I would argue highly competitive with the grid five years from now. And so, I think this offers a very, very long-term, compelling proposition."

His presentation highlights Liberty's commitment to innovation and leadership in shaping the future of energy.
