DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Liberty is proud to be a part of the solution, enhancing our communities and the world by helping our customers efficiently produce cleaner oil and gas resources,” commented Mr. Wright. “We are pleased to have Dr. Koonin join us at our Investor Day, providing context on why we are so passionate about the work we do.
