Part 3/14:
The operation's centerpiece is a massive hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") setup, managed by Halliburton, Diamondback's contractor. Powered by nearby clean natural gas, the fracking process is notably more environmentally friendly and efficient due to electric-powered equipment, which reduces emissions and boosts pump rates. According to operators, wells are capable of pumping upwards of 4,000 to 5,000 feet of rock per day during the fracturing process.
