Frac Sand Weekly News Digest

Nick Cook, Editor

Issue #359 | February 9, 2022

Good morning!

 

EIA increases their 2022 oil growth output by 20% as the big E&Ps increase their forecasts for expected growth (but of course how big will that growth be?)

 

Next Friday is the 7th Annual Frac Sand Industry Update! This is the biggest frac sand event of the spring, and so much has changed and developed since we were together last September: oil price has gone up nearly 25%, sand availability has shifted drastically towards a sellers market, and rig count DOESN’T SLOW. We hope you are all able to join us as we hear from across the industry, enjoy lunch with old colleagues, and share reception drinks with new business partners.

 

And now, the news…
