Global Frac Sand Market Dynamics:

Resurgence in Oil and Gas Exploration and Production:

The global frac sand market is deeply connected to the dynamics of the oil and gas industry. Frac sand is a type of specialized silica sand and a key proppant used in fracturing or fracking. The rising exploration and production activities of oil and gas, fueled from the growing demand for energy globally and supporting crude oil prices, increases the need for frac sand. The increasing productivity of oil and gas wells due to better drilling and completion methods also increases the per well frac sand consumption.

Increasing Focus on Well Productivity and Efficiency:

Investment in oil and gas is increasingly directed towards improving the productivity and efficiency of wells. Frac sand is of great importance in maximizing hydrocarbon recovery as it keeps fractures open, enabling oil and gas to flow more freely. The demand for higher quality frac sand with specific size and crush strength is increasing as operators strive to achieve better well performance with less need for re-fracturing. This concentration on productivity and efficiency increases innovation in frac sand technology and logistics.

Evolving Drilling Techniques and Lateral Lengths:

The previously discussed innovations in converting frac sand into proppant materials have been the evolution of drilling techniques and horizontal boreholes with longer laterals. When analyzing the latest trends in drilling techniques, it is apparent that the longer the lateral, the greater the volume of frac sand that will be required per well. Operations using extended reach drilling can access greater sections of the reservoir. This increases the amount of hydrocarbons produced, but also the amount of proppant materials, particularly frac sand, that are needed. There is now a growing need for better and more economical methods of transporting and supplying frac sand to well sites.

Global Frac Sand Market Trends:

The frac sand industry [US$ 8.1 billion in 2022, projected growth of 12% annually until 2030] is adjusting to some notable transformations in the market. One of the most notable changes is the rapid increase of frac sand procurement from regional suppliers. In order to avoid fracturing transportation costs and supply chain disruptions, there can be a preferred strata or set of deposits that can be relied upon for frac sand closer to the oil and gas drilling sites and be utilized. This change is altering the traditional sourcing of frac sand.

The growing use of white frac sand that is sought after due to it's more 'peripheral' crush strength and roundness is another crucial trend to observe. While white frac sand is of utmost value in deeper, high pressure wells where better underwater conditions can be achieved, it is clear why white sand is in demand. Moreover, refinement in the transportation and logistical sector is making the shipment of frac sand to well sites more cost effective and less time consuming. New developing silo based frac sand storage systems with minimal handling and reduced dust creation, along with advanced rail and trucking infrastructure, allow for frac sand to be transported more efficiently.
