About the Event

Join Northside for an in-depth industry briefing on The Pressure Pumping Market in 2026, a timely discussion examining the forces reshaping the cementing and hydraulic fracturing landscape.

For today’s pressure pumping and cementing service companies, the market can feel increasingly unforgiving. Operators are pursuing longer laterals, consolidating work among fewer customers. Capital constraints tied to oil price uncertainty continue to limit investment in oilfield services. At the same time, the explosive growth of AI-driven data centers is absorbing power generation capacity, creating new incentives for e-frac companies to prioritize power assets over frac spreads.

This session will explore the risks and opportunities created by these three major trends and provide insight into how the pressure pumping sector is likely to perform in 2026.
