We hope our readers had a great Thanksgiving. While we were unable to travel to see in-laws or cousins, we were certainly grateful for the opportunity to spend some quiet days with the immediate family. 2020 was a tough year, but it also gave us the opportunity to spend more time with family and allowed us to focus on what is most important.
As we turn our attention to 2021, please mark your calendars for the 6th Annual Frac Sand Industry Update, which will be held March 31, 2021 at The Petroleum Club in Houston. Also be sure to budget for your participation at the 10th Annual Frac Sand Supply & Logistics Conference, which will be held in Grapevine, TX on September 15-17, 2021. I’ll have to do some research to see if there is anyone (besides me!) who has participated in all nine of the previous Frac Sand Supply & Logistics Conferences. We’ll have to provide some benefit and recognition for anyone who has done so. If you think you have, please reply to this email and I’ll take a look.
