The frac sand news world was pretty quiet the past week. That is likely due to companies focusing more on operational excellence and less on making big deals and headlines. We have had some international movement in frac sand. In the past week we were contacted by someone looking to buy frac sand to go to Argentina, then by someone in Argentina looking for investors in a frac sand mine, and you’ll see the presentation below on the silica sand market & opportunity in Saudi Arabia. Don’t hesitate to send us any news or information you think would be of interest to the industry.
With the focus shifting to operational excellence, those providing operations-related solutions should consider grabbing one of the few remaining Gold Sponsor spots at the Frac Sand Supply & Logistics Conference. You can also look at advertising in this news digest!
Have a great rest of the week.
