Fracker Keane Group Continues Expansion, Buys RockPile Energy
Keane Group is a Texas-based oilfield services company that provides fracking, wireline and top-hole air drilling services to oil and gas companies in the Marcellus/Utica as well as several other major basins. In January 2016, Keane announced they were buying out Canadian-based Trican Well Service for $247 million (see Oilfield Serv. Co. Keane Group Buys Trican Well Service for $247M). The expansion tripled Keane’s fracking capacity and gave it access to proprietary new technology. The buyout, and Keane’s hard work, bore fruit.

Keane Group Floats $288M IPO). Keane is expanding again. Last week the company announced it's buying out fracker RockPile Energy Services for $284.5 million.
