DESCRIPTION

A year ago, the average unconventional well used roughly 2,500 tons of sand, whereas now wells often use double that amount, with some having as much as 8,000 tons of sand pumped into them. This, combined with the continued exponential growth in the number of wells in the US means that demand for proppant is expected to increase by 25% this year. However, in order for frac sand producers to take advantage of this rise in demand, they will need to overcome the current logistical challenges in rail, storage and transloading infrastructure that are currently driving up their costs and preventing them from getting their product to well sites on time. The 2nd Annual Frac Sand Logistics & Market Forecast Summit USA 2014 has been designed to bring together frac sand producers with E&Ps, well service companies and railroad operators to find practical solutions for overcoming rail, storage and transloading bottlenecks to ensure frac sand reaches well sites on time at minimum cost. Speakers at the summit will be quantifying current levels of supply and demand for frac sand in the US before breaking down solutions at every stage of the supply chain to ensure that the demand can be met in a timely and cost-effective way.

A year ago, the average unconventional well used roughly 2,500 tons of sand, whereas now wells often use double that amount, with some having as much as 8,000 tons of sand pumped into them. This, combined with the continued exponential growth in the number of wells in the US means that demand for proppant is expected to increase by 25% this year.

However, in order for frac sand producers to take advantage of this rise in demand, they will need to overcome the current logistical challenges in rail, storage and transloading infrastructure that are currently driving up their costs and preventing them from getting their product to well sites on time.

The 2nd Annual Frac Sand Logistics & Market Forecast Summit USA 2014 has been designed to bring together

frac sand producers with E&Ps, well service companies, and railroad operators, to find practical solutions for overcoming rail, storage and transloading bottlenecks ensuring frac sand reaches well sites on time at minimum cost.

Speakers at the summit will be quantifying current levels of supply and demand for frac sand in the US, before breaking down solutions at every stage of the supply chain to ensure that the demand can be met in a timely and cost-effective way.

DAY 1 will focus on quantifying frac sand demand and then will feature specific focus sessions covering solutions for overcoming rail, storage and transloading bottlenecks.

DAY 2 will focus on forecasting frac sand volumes, types and pricing and examine strategies for maintaining frac sand quality across the supply chain.

What Makes This Summit Unique?

• MULTIPLE END USER CASE

STUDIES: Unlike most frac sand summits which predominantly feature technology vendors, this summit features multiple case studies from well service companies and E&Ps buying frac sand, which in turn attracts record numbers of the frac sand producers who sell to them

• MULTIPLE SAND PRODUCER CASE

STUDIES: The summit features more presentations from CEOs and VPs from the leading frac sand producers than any other, providing real life experience of overcoming rail, storage and transloading challenges to deliver their sand to customers on time at low-cost

• LEADING CLASS 1 RAILROADS: This summit is now established as the only platform where the Class 1 Railroads can engage with the frac sand community, with presentations and panels from multiple railroads on their plans for expanding capacity, improving railcar and optimizing existing routes

• 100% FOCUSED ON LOGISTICS: As rail, storage and transloading bottlenecks continue to be the key challenges holding the industry back, this summit is the only forum to have 20 sessions entirely devoted to overcoming these challenges, with in depth focus sessions on each stage of transportation

• DETAILED TECHNICAL AGENDA: The reason frac sand producers and well service companies attend this summit in higher numbers than any other is because the detailed technical agenda speaks directly to their needs
