Our first newsletter post-conference!
We heard from many of our attendees that this years’ frac sand conference was the “best one yet” with over 400 attendees. We appreciate the gracious words, and we look forward to continuing to gather frac sand’s industry leaders in 2024.
In terms of recent news, there’s a few sand mines coming online, conference takeaways, and recent additions to the asset marketplace (prices in links).
Dig into the frac sand industry’s most widely-read newsletter.
And now, the news…
It was the largest frac sand conference in the industry since 2019, and here's some of the biggest takeaways.
2012 Sand Fracking Wet Screen Plant, located in Wisconsin. Price and specs included in the link.
The proposed mine would supply frac sand used for hydraulic fracturing in the Montney Basin oil and gas region in northern B.C. and Alberta.
Although there have been some rumblings about this project for several months now, including recently on the sidelines of the frac sand conference in San Antonio, they managed to keep this project under wraps pretty well as it came together.
A new local sand plant shares their perspective.
Some insights into a forecasted trend discussed at this year's conference.
Exxon and other companies have devised ways to squeeze more oil out of U.S. fields as some of the best ones near exhaustion, but it could be costly.
