Ace Completions and Terra Oilfield Services announce the formation of Ace Fluid Solutions (AFS). Headquartered in Midland, Texas, AFS is a leading provider of specialty stimulation chemicals, water sourcing program management, water treatment, water transfer, and in-field technical support to operators and pumping companies in the most active US shale plays. AFS will leverage its newly combined resources and expertise to set a new standard in fluid services by focusing on adaptive chemistries, best-in-class service, and proven water program management.
AFS has over thirty acres of rail-supported operations in West Texas supporting both chemical and water operations with additional satellite operations across Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma providing a full suite of products and services closer to its customers. AFS supports major operators in well completion while maintaining the flexibility and responsiveness needed to service independent operators and pumping companies.
“This is a growth story, not one of survival; both of these companies were market-dominant in their own right, and we are extremely proud of our combined capabilities,” said Stacy Racca, CEO of AFS. “This new partnership brings together the unique strengths of these highly technical companies, allowing us to offer our customers the best fluid products, services, and laboratory capabilities. Our customers have seen immediate benefits from this combined platform. Our strength is not only in our capabilities, but also in our management team, many of whom are the original companies’ founders. Without them, AFS would not be the success it is today,” said Racca.
“OFS Energy Fund has been an investor in Ace Fluid Solutions for several years and we have been impressed with the unique oilfield water and chemical expertise the Company has developed,” said Jerad McMayon, Partner at OFS Energy Fund. “AFS was formed to bring together an independent, adaptive water platform of scale that has the products, services, infrastructure, and laboratory capabilities to serve both large and small customers while maintaining the service quality and customer-first approach of a small independent company.”
