Lots of interesting news this week. In addition, sponsorship opportunities at the Mobile-Mini Frac Sand Mine Forum are nearly sold out! If you are interested in showcasing your company’s goods and/or services at the event, please visit https://petroleumconnection.com/event/mobile-mini-mines/ to learn more and sign up! Registration is also still open for the event, so be sure to register soon. While CERA Week cancelled last-second due to coronavirus concerns, we do not anticipate the same issues. Their event includes 5000+ attendees from 80+ nations. We expect 150 people primarily from Texas. We’re closely monitoring the situation and will keep everyone up to date if concerns rise. Worst-case scenario would be that we have the largest virtual frac sand event ever and we stream the whole thing…but we do not expect it to come to that. Have a great rest of the week!
