Event Details
The recent expansion of shale gas and tight oil operations across the North American oil plays have led to an increase in the demand for frac sand across the continent. The supply chain is under pressure to meet market demand and navigating through the market has become increasingly complex.
Research estimates that proppant demand is set to rise by 25% in 2015 alone, not only because of a growth in the number of wellsites being developed, but also due to an increase in frac stages and proppant intensity. In addition to market constraints, logistics and transportation of frac sand to shale plays continue to be a challenging issue. The existing US and Canadian transportation networks currently lack sustainable rail and transloading facilities required to maintain and support the ever increasing demand for frac sand.
• Understand the current market for high-grade proppant, in particular frac sand production forecasts and demand specifications, and the impact on your business.
• Assess the cost and logistics of getting frac sand to new delivery points.
• Hear the latest rail infrastructure development plans with an overview of projects in the years to come.
• Learn how to develop strategies to achieve optimum value and cost reduction through a complex market.
• Develop on different ideas and perspectives combining cross-market industry experiences.
Our agenda will include:
• Frac sand market supply and demand forecasts
• New rail loading, offloading, and transloading developments
• Reducing transportation costs and pricing dynamics
• Optimising on existing rail infrastructure, storage points, and capacity
• Trucking and last-mile transportation strategies
• End users case studies and proppant quality requirements
