This article from the August 2020 issue of The American Oil and Gas Reporter highlights the latest innovation from PropX – an innovative and patent-pending last mile frac sand logistics system designed to deliver wet or dry sand from the sand source to the frac blender.
More than 1 billion lb. of wet sand have been delivered with this technology. The benefits of delivering wet sand are many: lower cost, substantially less energy required and lower emissions due to eliminating the drying process, eliminates silica dust, removes substantial capital investment needed at a mine site, and reduces makeup water consumption at wellsite, among other benefits.
