Denver oilfield giant buys a fracking supplier for $90 million

 

Business was so good for Denver-based Liberty Oilfield Services Inc. in the past several months, it not only reported a 12% in third quarter revenue but also the firm’s acquisition of PropX, a provider of proppant delivery equipment, logistics and software solutions.

The $90 million deal makes Liberty the second-largest providing oil and natural gas producers with fracking and well-completion services. The acquisition consisted of $13.5 million in cash and the equivalent of 5.8 million shares of Liberty’s common stock valued at $76.5 million base on a 30-day average closing share price of $13.08.
