Issue #296 | November 4, 2020

As we put together this news digest, polling stations are still open and very busy.  By the time you read this, we might even know the election results.  Even so, there are several good articles related to oilfield services and the frac sand supply chain.  Many of the companies covered in these articles will also be featured on the agenda at the Frac Sand Supply & Logistics Conference in two short weeks!  Please join us to hear from Liberty Oilfield Services, Solaris, and Infill Thinking, as well as other top analysts and industry leaders.  It is going to be a smaller conference, but there will certainly be some deals done and great networking opportunities.  I hope you can join us!
