Frac Sand Market Dynamics:

Growth of Unconventional Oil and Gas Production:

The North America frac sand market is expected to witness substantial growth due to the rapid increase in the production of unconventional oil and gas, such as shale oil and gas. The process of hydraulic fracturing and gas extraction from shale formations uses a technique called fracking. This method entails blasting the rock with a mix of water, sand, and other chemicals. Frac sand is employed, due to its well-rounded shape, to fill the gaps created during the process of hydraulic fracturing to help facilitate the flow of gas and oil. With the rapid surge in the global energy demand, the exploration and production of unconventional oil and gas are expected to grow, which will, in turn, increase the demand for frac sand.

Technological Advancements in Fracking Techniques:

As the sand market has started to monopolize, there are multiple plugins that have started to influence it. For instance, multi-stage fracturing and slickwater fracking have started to gain traction in the market. These plugins employ strategies that use less water while simultaneously increasing the proppant viscosity. What this means is that since the sand and water ratio increases, the amount of sand that is used for oil and gas extraction will be greater. Such changes lead to an increase in the demand for Northern White frac sand, and other types of sand in the market which target higher efficiency and productivity during the extraction process.

Increasing Focus on Environmental Sustainability:

While the sand market continues to grow, so do the negative environmental repercussions caused by the sand oil and gas industry. And in order to counter negative perception, investors have started to shift their focus towards investments that emphasize sustainable practices. Some changes that are being implemented include reducing mining water requirements and optimizing transportation routes. Moreover, recycled frac sand is being innovated in order to reduce transportation costs and protect the degraded natural resources. These sustainability initiatives are gaining traction as environmental regulations become more stringent, and consumers increasingly demand environmentally responsible practices from energy companies.

Global Frac Sand Market Trends:

The global frac sand market is undergoing a transformation due to specific emerging trends and changes, the first one being the enhanced focus towards the provision of specific attributes in frac sand that suits the requirements of certain shale formations and fracking techniques. This has enabled the improvement and development of frac sand processing technologies such as thermal treatment and surface modification that better the properties of frac with regards to flowback and sphericity.

Furthermore, the development of new frac sand mines and processing plants in oil and gas dense regions are allowing for a decrease in reliance on transportation for the sanding process. This alleviates the dependency on sustainable methods to transport sand and deals with the emissions caused during the logistical processes of sourcing the materials.
