WHY ATTEND THE OCTOBER 15TH, 2026 THIRD PARTY OPINION WEBINAR?

At the start of 2026, efficiency was the industry's favorite word.

Fewer spreads. More footage per crew. Record completions, even as capital discipline dominated the earnings-call language.

Everyone could see the trend. No one had a single number for it.

So we built one. The Frac Efficiency Index (FEI) measures completions output against active spread capacity, basin by basin, week by week, drawn from seven-plus years of Primary Vision data.

It's arriving at the moment the market needs it most. Equipment is still migrating south, toward Vaca Muerta and beyond. Domestic spread counts haven't returned to prior levels. Yet completions have held, and in places, accelerated.

On October 15th, we put a number on that gap, and what it means heading into 2027.

Introducing the Frac Efficiency Index

The formula, the methodology, and the first look at FEI live inside EFRACS. What it says about whether fleets are actually working harder, or whether the market just got better data. Basin-level breakdowns roll out first to Pro-tier subscribers.

Production & Completions: The Exit From 2026

Where completions activity actually stands against the capital-discipline narrative. What the international equipment migration leaves onshore. And Primary Vision's read on production and completions as 2026 closes and 2027 opens.

WHY LEADING ORGANIZATIONS MAKE TIME FOR THE THIRD PARTY OPINION WEBINAR?

Third Party Opinion does not follow market narratives.

It tests them.

Every session is built around one principle: measurable signals matter more than headlines.

Across prior discussions, Primary Vision focused on what the data was showing before it became consensus.

We highlighted the conditions setting up a resurgence in BPX Energy well before the broader equity narrative shifted.

We demonstrated how the Frac Job Count continued to signal underlying completion strength, cutting through macro volatility and negative sentiment to remain directionally correct.

We addressed the decline in the U.S. domestic spread count and clarified what it actually meant for horsepower utilization. Rather than treating falling spreads as a simple bearish headline, we separated structural efficiency gains from real capacity pressure and pricing dynamics.

These were not isolated calls.

They were the result of a disciplined, data driven methodology designed to identify inflection points before they are widely recognized.

Third Party Opinion has become a forum where analysts, executives, and investors step back from the noise to understand what is happening beneath the surface.

On October 15th, we put a number on that gap, and what it means heading into 2027.
