The team at The Petroleum Connection wishes you and yours a safe and Happy 4th of July! Once we get past this little break we will be turning our attention to the biggest frac sand conference of the year. We’ll start outing agenda topics and identifying potential speakers, so send me a note ([email protected]) if you have anything to suggest.
