‍‍Dallas, TX – January 30, 2024 – Riata Capital Group (“Riata” or “RCG”) today announced it has sold Extract Companies, LLC (“Extract” or the “Company”), a fully-integrated provider of artificial lift systems and related parts and services to North American energy producers, to NOV (NYSE: NOV), a provider of technology-driven solutions to empower the global energy industry. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.

Since its inception in late 2017, under Riata’s ownership, Extract grew from less than $10 million of revenue serving smaller independent energy producers in the Mid-Continent region from two facilities in Tulsa, OK to approximately$250 million in revenues serving all the major and larger independent producers in the U.S. in the Permian, Mid-Continent, and Bakken regions from nine facilities.  In addition to providing best-in-class service and operating results for its customers, Extract leverages patented, proprietary technologies in its electrical submersible pump (ESP) service offerings that are differentiated in the market and continue to support continued market share gains within the Artificial Lift market.

This investment was a resounding success, and we are very pleased with the outcome for Riata and our investors.”

“We appreciate our strong partnership with the Riata team, with whom we built our prior platform, Accelerated Production, which was purchased by Dover,” said Brad Goebel, Chairman and CEO of Extract.  “We are proud to have built the leading technology-enabled provider of ESP systems, equipment and services in the U.S. Artificial Lift market and to have found the right home for Extract for its next phase of growth.”

“We are entering an exciting period for Extract, as NOV is positioned to provide a platform for continued excellence in customer service,”said Matt Gipson, Senior Vice-President of Extract, an NOV company. “Extract’s reputation for market-leading customer service and focus on maximizing run-time of electric submersible pumps has established the company as a key partner for operators looking to maximize the economic returns of their assets.”
