CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this Quarterly Report regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “preliminary,” “forecast,” and similar expressions or variations are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, in our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, under the heading “Part II—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and those set forth from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those summarized below:

●

the severity and duration of world health events, including the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and its variants, and associated repercussions to supply and demand for oil and natural gas and the economy generally;

●

global economic distress resulting from sustained Russia-Ukraine war and related economic sanctions, which may decrease demand for oil and demand for our services or contribute to volatility in the prices for oil and natural gas;

●

actions taken by the members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia (together with OPEC and other allied producing countries, “OPEC+”) with respect to oil production levels and announcements of potential changes in such levels, including the ability of the OPEC+ countries to agree on and comply with announced supply limitations;

●

actions taken by the Biden Administration or state governments, such as executive orders or new or expanded regulations, that may negatively impact the future production of oil and natural gas in the United States (“U.S.”) or our customers’ access to federal and state lands for oil and gas development operations, thereby reducing demand for our services in the affected areas;

●

the potential deterioration of our customers’ financial condition, including defaults resulting from actual or potential insolvencies;

●

the level of capital spending and access to capital markets by oil and gas companies in response to changes in commodity prices or reduced demand;

●

the ability to source certain raw materials and other critical components or manufactured products globally on a timely basis from economically advantaged sources;

●

operational challenges relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus, including logistical challenges, measures taken to protect the health and well-being of our employees, remote work arrangements, performance of contracts and supply chain disruptions;

Table of Contents

●

any new or additional measures required by national, state or local governments to combat COVID-19, such as a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, which if enacted, could reduce labor availability or add additional operational costs as we may experience constraints on our workforce and the workforce of our supply chain, which could have a negative impact on our operations;

●

the degree to which consolidation among our customers may affect spending on U.S. drilling and completions;

●

trends and volatility in oil and gas prices, and our ability to manage through such volatility;

●

the impact of current and future laws, rulings and governmental regulations, including those related to hydraulic fracturing, accessing water, disposing of wastewater, transferring produced water, interstate freshwater transfer, chemicals, carbon pricing, pipeline construction, taxation or emissions, leasing, permitting or drilling on federal lands and various other environmental matters;

●

regional impacts to our business, including our key infrastructure assets within the Bakken, the Northern Delaware portion of the Permian Basin, and the Haynesville;

●

capacity constraints on regional oil, natural gas and water gathering, processing and pipeline systems that result in a slowdown or delay in drilling and completion activity, and thus a decrease in the demand for our services in our core markets;

●

regulatory and related policy actions intended by federal, state and/or local governments to reduce fossil fuel use and associated carbon emissions, or to drive the substitution of renewable forms of energy for oil and gas, may over time reduce demand for oil and gas and therefore the demand for our services;

●

growing demand for electric vehicles that may result in reduced demand for gasoline and therefore the demand for our services;

●

our ability to hire and retain key management and employees, including skilled labor;

●

our access to capital to fund expansions, acquisitions and our working capital needs and our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms;

●

our health, safety and environmental performance;

●

the impact of competition on our operations;

●

the degree to which our exploration and production (“E&P”) customers may elect to operate their water-management services in-house rather than source these services from companies like us;

●

our level of indebtedness and our ability to comply with covenants contained in our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility (as defined herein) or future debt instruments;

●

delays or restrictions in obtaining permits by us or our customers;

●

constraints in supply or availability of equipment used in our business;

●

the impact of advances or changes in well-completion technologies or practices that result in reduced demand for our services, either on a volumetric or time basis;

Table of Contents

●

changes in global political or economic conditions, generally, and in the markets we serve, including the rate of inflation and potential economic recession;

●

acts of terrorism, war or political or civil unrest in the U.S. or elsewhere;

●

accidents, weather, natural disasters or other events affecting our business; and

●

the other risks identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the headings “Part I—Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Part II—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report.

These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on our future results. Our future results will depend upon various other risks and uncertainties, including those described under the heading “Part I―Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the heading “Part II―Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and this Quarterly Report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary note.
