Normally, you’re used to this digest coming to you Wednesday morning; however, with the business/busyness of the 13th Frac Sand Conference this week, we’re just now compiling everything for you.
Based on the ingenuity, the grit, and the energy of the 350+ folks with us in San Antonio this week, we are feeling BULLISH on the long-term health of the frac sand industry (not to mention the average 3-4 stars on the “health of the industry” given by execs at the conference).
There’s a TON of information for the digest before you digest turkey/yams/potatoes/pie next week. Enjoy your celebrations, and we’ll be off next week as we enjoy ours.
