Aside from the big frac sand bankruptcy, it was a pretty quiet news week for frac sand.  That said, the industry is clearly looking toward the future, based on the number of people who registered for the 9th Annual Frac Sand Supply & Logistics Conference in the past week.  More particularly, we have had several sponsors sign up (welcome back Matec America, Kase Conveyors, Tarmac, and Hydrite!), as well as Houston Energy News as a Media Partner and the National Sand Stone and Gravel Association’s Industrial Sand Division as a Supporting Organization.  It’s encouraging to see how many operators, sand companies, and other suppliers are signing up. Looks like we’ll have another great conference.  I hope you can join us!  Learn more and sign up here: https://petroleumconnection.com/event/9th-annual-frac-sand-supply-logistics-conference/
