Sand is critical to North Americas onshore oil and gas production. Much of U.S. oil and gas comes from tight, low-permeability shale, sandstone and carbonate rock that must be hydraulically fractured to stimulate fluid flow. Sand is the proppant that keeps fractures open and allows these so-called unconventional wells to produce valuable hydrocarbons.

But not any sand will do. Frac sand is a specialized product that must meet very specific standards for many different characteristics including crush strength, purity, roundness and size.

By the time it is blended into the hydraulic fracturing fluid and pumped downhole, frac sand has been selectively mined and processed, moved in very large quantities to and within active oil and gas regions, and closely managed at the wellsite using specialized equipment and personnel.

The effectiveness of frac sand is central to well productivity, and efficiency of frac sand logistics is key to controlling well cost. Overall success depends on the availability of the right sand, its timely and reliable transport to the wellsite, sufficient storage in silos or containers and delivery to the blender according to the frac design.

The boom in U.S. hydrocarbon production depends on mining millions of tons of sand and pumping it back into the earth. Packed into the network of tiny cracks created by hydraulic fracturing, frac sand holds fractures open to create the conductivity necessary for oil and gas to flow from low-permeability rock. In 2017, more than 60 million tons of frac sand were used, and in 2018, that total is estimated to have surpassed 100 million tons.

Hydraulic fracturing is a high-pressure pumping process that has been used for more than 60 years to enhance oil and gas production. Today, it is a key enabler in improving production from low-permeability reservoir rock. This unconventional resource, typically drilled with long horizontal wells, is much more difficult to produce than conventional wells that typically dont require specialized methodologies.

Sand is the original proppant. Hydraulic fracturing has since developed other types of proppants including resin- coated sands and synthetic ceramics for specialty applications. Raw frac sand makes up the majority of demand and its use has rapidly increased. In 2012, sand made up about 80 of the proppant market, and in 2017 it reached about 97. Sand is most commonly used because it is an economical source of large proppant quantities with characteristics suitable for the majority of U.S. well co

Unconventional wells have caused massive growth in the volume of frac sand being used. In 2010, about 27 million tons of industrial sand and gravel were mined in the U.S., according to U.S. Geological Survey USGS. Of that, just 27 was used in hydraulic fracturing operations. In 2017, frac sand production had grown to 63 of a total 100 million tons valued at 3.5 billion, and total production continues to increase.

Demand growth is driven by increasingly sand-intensive techniques used to complete unconventional wells. While conventional hydraulic fracturing in decades past measured sand in thousands of pounds per well, modern methods can require millions of pounds of proppant for each well.

Between 2012 and 2017, proppant intensity increased from a typical 4,500 ft lateral wellbore using less than 500 lbft of proppant to 7,000 ft and longer laterals using 2,0005,000 lbft of proppant. A single well today typically consumes more than 15 million lb of sand delivered in hundreds of truckloads
