EP26 Smart Sand

This week we're thrilled to have Lee Beckelman, Chief Financial Officer, and John Young, Chief Operating Officer, of Smart Sand, a frac and industrial sand supply company, join us.

In this episode, we delve into a recently published white paper entitled: Hydraulic Fracturing in the Permian Basin and the Case for Northern White Sand that presents a thought-provoking analysis of the value proposition of white sand versus in-basin sand. With a specific focus on the Permian Basin, Lee and John shed light on the potential of addressing productivity concerns by reevaluating in-basin sand usage and considering a switch back to the tried-and-true Northern White Sand.

Join us as we explore the nuances of sand selection, their impact on well performance, and the economic considerations that play a pivotal role in shaping operators' decisions.
