3rd Frac Sand Conference

Covered in this report:

•  How have supply and demand dynamics changed for frac sand in 2015?
•  What has happened to frac sand prices in that time and what is expected to happen in the second half of the year?
•  How has the drop in oil price impacted businesses? 
•  Have the new market conditions impacted the way that suppliers work with logistical partners?
•  Which shale plays are providing the greatest level of demand for frac sand and what are the costs and challenges when shipping material to them?
•  Are depressed prices here to stay? If so, how can this be managed on a longer term basis?
•  Are there any silver linings? 
The past few years have been up and down for the frac sand industry; 2013 was characterized by an oversupply, while 2014 witnessed a spike in demand. Now in 2015, depressed oil prices are transforming market dynamics again. The frac sand industry is feeling the effects and is causing concern.

However, many see this as an opportunity to reflect on more efficient ways of doing business. The theme this year will therefore be of lessons learnt from the downturn, ways to tidy up balance sheets and improve efficiencies so that when oil prices recover, companies are in a stronger position. Forecasting will remain prominent as will strategies surrounding logistics and technology. 

In September, key figures from throughout the supply chain will assemble to discuss the state of the industry, the economics for sand and drilling, investment in logistics and all the major topics impacting frac sand supply and demand.
