We have a full newsletter this week. Plenty of information on general oilfield trends, frac sand trends, and specifics on frac sand companies. Don’t overlook our announcements regarding the return of the Frac Sand Equipment Expo and our Pre-Conference Networking Reception next week!

The Petroleum Connection is pleased to announce we will again be having a Frac Sand Equipment Expo during the largest frac sand event of the year! The Equipment Expo will be an outdoor extension of the Exhibit Hall, so it will be open the same hours of the Exhibit Hall (September 5 & 6). In addition, we will be holding a Pre-Conference Networking Reception in the Equipment Expo area on the evening of September 4, open to anyone registered for the conference. And after the conference closes, we’ll have an informal networking reception in the Expo space to give attendees one final chance to visit the equipment and network with other attendees. Those interested in exhibiting large equipment at the Expo should contact Pete Cook ([email protected]) to reserve their space. We have a limited amount of outdoor exhibit space, so do not wait too long!
