Customers

Nine sells primarily to exploration and production companies that develop unconventional oil and natural gas resources. Its customer base includes both integrated and independent E&P operators, with buying decisions tied to drilling and completion activity, basin location, and commodity-price expectations.

Integrated E&P companies

Large upstream operators that buy completion services and tools for multi-well development programs and operational consistency.

Independent E&P companies

Smaller and mid-sized producers that outsource cementing, wireline, and downhole completion work to improve well economics.

North American shale operators

Operators in major onshore basins that need horizontal, multistage completion services and field execution support.

International E&P customers

Select non-U.S. customers that purchase completion tools and services for unconventional development projects.

Strategy

Nine’s strategy is to win share with existing and new customers while broadening its tools and completion offerings. It also emphasizes technology development, international growth, and selective capital investment to support field execution and expand into new geographies.

Grow share in core completion marketsShort term

Higher utilization and stronger customer relationships support the service network and equipment base.

Expand tools and technology offeringsMedium term

Proprietary tools and smarter applications can improve differentiation and customer retention.

Broaden geographic reachMedium term

A wider footprint reduces dependence on any single basin and opens new demand pools.

Geography

2025

Nine operates across major onshore basins in the United States and Canada, with additional business abroad. Geography matters because activity levels, basin mix, and customer capital spending vary by region, and the company’s service footprint must follow drilling and completion programs where they are active.

Risks

Nine is exposed to cyclical oil and gas spending, so demand can weaken when customers reduce drilling and completion budgets. The business also faces customer concentration, supplier dependence in certain product lines, cybersecurity exposure, and execution risk tied to retaining skilled field personnel and competing against larger oilfield service providers.
