Friday can’t come soon enough, right?

 

That’s because this Friday is the frac sand industry update in Houston! It’s the industry’s biggest event of the Spring, and a particularly important one riding the waves of high prices for frac sand. We still have available guest passes, so make sure you secure yours today.

 

Our timing couldn’t be better to interview Liberty Oilfield Services’ Ron Gusek as their earnings call sparks a lot of this week’s news. Lots of discussion too about the booming production increases and the low sand availability.

 

Check out the final agenda, and come get the best behind the scenes announcements with us this Friday.

 

And now, the news…
