The early development of the Barnett Shale natural gas play in Texas led two brothers from Cisco, Texas, in 2002 to launch the company now known as FTS International. As development of the Barnett was heating up, the founders saw the growing need for well stimulation services. In true entrepreneurial fashion, they started the business from the ground up, used innovative technologies and vertical integration to create a thriving enterprise, then sold their shares in the company in 2011 to a consortium of investors. The company continues to grow and innovate – in the spirit of its founders.
