Wilks Brothers LLC is a private holding company founded and managed by brothers Farris and Dan Wilks, established to manage their substantial wealth after building their fortune in the oil and gas industry through their company Frac Tech, which specialized in hydraulic fracturing services and was sold to Halliburton in 2011 for approximately $3.4 billion. The LLC oversees a diverse portfolio of investments, with a primary focus on real estate, land acquisitions, ranching operations, and timber management across the Western United States, including vast tracts totaling hundreds of thousands of acres in states such as Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Texas. These holdings are used for cattle ranching, timber management, and selective conservation efforts, reflecting a strategic approach to long-term asset appreciation and sustainable land use aligned with the brothers' business interests in agriculture and natural resources. Beyond real estate, the company manages investments in various sectors including energy, manufacturing, and private equity, though details remain opaque due to its private status. The brothers, known for their conservative Christian values, have channeled portions of their wealth through affiliated entities into philanthropy supporting evangelical causes, anti-abortion initiatives, and political advocacy groups, but the LLC itself operates as a commercial vehicle separate from these nonprofit activities. Criticized by some environmental groups for land management practices that prioritize commercial development over preservation, the company has faced scrutiny in local communities over water rights and grazing impacts, though no major legal controversies directly involving the LLC are publicly documented. Overall, Wilks Brothers LLC exemplifies the brothers' shift from energy pioneers to major landowners and investors shaping rural economies in the American West.
