What AutoSep Technologies does

AutoSep Technologies is an oilfield service company founded in 2024 as a joint venture between CNX and Deep Well Services (DWS), headquartered in Zelienople, Pennsylvania. The company targets upstream oil and gas operators—primarily in the Appalachian basin—conducting flowback operations on unconventional shale wells, addressing the cost, labor intensity, and methane emissions of conventional flowback equipment. Its commercial scope is currently a single product, deployed through B2B enterprise field sales to basin operators.

The company's sole product is the AutoSep Control Unit (ACU), a fully automated, closed-loop flowback system that integrates four conventional components—manifold, sand trap, separator vessel, and junk catcher—into a single compact platform. ACUs feature automated choke actuators and valves, remote operation from AutoSep command centers, a dual 5k vertical design handling two wells per skid, high/low alarm systems with auto-shutdown, and real-time data streaming. The company integrates with BoreSite's patented data acquisition platform to convert raw flowback data into operational insights. Compared to traditional flowback equipment, ACUs are reported to require roughly 50% less equipment, labor, and footprint, eliminate methane emissions during sand trap blowdowns, and reduce red zone exposure for crew members.

AutoSep generates revenue through oilfield service contracts that deploy ACUs at customer well sites, classified as hardware-sales revenue. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to operators in the Appalachian basin, leveraging CNX's technology and DWS's operational infrastructure for market access. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based. With 1–10 employees, a single product, and active hiring, the company remains in early commercial stage, investing in brand-building content (YouTube "Flowin' Series") and partner-enabled data capabilities alongside core equipment deployment.

Core offering

AutoSep Technologies provides the AutoSep Control Units (ACUs), a fully automated, closed-loop flowback system deployed at upstream oil and gas well sites. The ACU integrates a manifold, sand trap, separator vessel, and junk catcher into a single skid that is remotely operated from AutoSep command centers and streams real-time well data via the BoreSite platform. The offering combines equipment sales/leasing with ongoing flowback operations services targeting unconventional shale operators.

Product overview

AutoSep Technologies offers a single unified product - the AutoSep Control Units (ACUs) - a revolutionary automated flowback system for the oil and gas industry. The ACUs represent a 4-in-1 integrated design combining manifolds, sand trap, separator vessel, and junk catcher into one compact automated platform. These units are the first fully redundant and automated closed-loop flowback systems designed to reduce methane emissions, labor costs, and safety risks while improving operational efficiency. The ACUs stream real-time data to AutoSep command centers for remote monitoring and multi-well simultaneous operations.

Direct peers

• US Well Services: Hydraulic fracturing and flowback services company focused on unconventional shale. Comparable business model in terms of wellsite service delivery and customer base to AutoSep.
• NexTier Oilfield Solutions: U.S. completions-focused oilfield services company providing pressure pumping and related wellsite services. Operates in the same basins and competes head-to-head for unconventional flowback contracts.
• BJ Services: Pressure pumping and flowback service provider directly competing for unconventional shale completions work. Closest analog to AutoSep's traditional flowback competitors and a likely bidder on the same Appalachian operator accounts.
• Liberty Energy: Hydraulic fracturing and completions services provider with growing digital wellsite capabilities. Targets the same unconventional shale customers as AutoSep and could add competing automated flowback offerings.
• ProFrac Holding: Pressure pumping services provider with a vertically integrated fleet and active digital/automation roadmap. Competes in flowback operations and has the scale to match AutoSep on equipment design once proven.

Broad incumbents

• SLB (Schlumberger): Largest diversified oilfield services company with deep completions and digital offerings. Competes with AutoSep on flowback services and on digital wellsite data, and has the R&D budget to replicate automation features at scale.
• Halliburton: Global oilfield services major with a large completion and well-testing/flowback portfolio. Competes with AutoSep at the customer level in Appalachian and other basins and could bundle automated flowback into its broader service contracts.
• Core Laboratories: Reservoir description and production enhancement company that historically provided flowback analysis and related data services. Overlaps with AutoSep on the data/analytics side of flowback operations rather than the hardware service.

Regional players

• STEP Energy Services: Canadian-based completions and flowback services provider with U.S. operations. Comparable in service mix to AutoSep but primarily competes in Canadian and North American basins outside Appalachia.

Emerging players

• DataCan Services: Wellsite data acquisition and monitoring specialist serving oil and gas operators. Closest pure-play analog to AutoSep's BoreSite-powered remote monitoring and data-streaming capability.
