Operational Insights
Mammoth's Well Completion Services division generated $2.2 million in revenues during the quarter, a sharp decrease from the $20.3 million reported in the same period of 2023. This downturn was primarily due to the lack of active pressure-pumping fleets, as the company did not have any fleets operational during the quarter.
