Organization and Nature of Business Organization and Nature of Business
The Company was incorporated in July 2011 and is headquartered in Yardley, Pennsylvania. The Company operates as a fully integrated frac and industrial sand supply and services company. The Company offers complete mine to wellsite proppant supply and logistics solutions to our frac sand customers. These operations include the excavation, processing and sale of sand, or proppant, for hydraulic fracturing operations as well as proppant logistics and wellsite storage solutions through its SmartSystemsTM products and services. In late 2021, the Company created its Industrial Productions Solutions (“IPS”) business to diversify its customer base and markets it serves by offering sand to customers for industrial uses, such as glass, foundry, building products, filtration, geothermal, renewables, ceramics, turf & landscape, retail, and recreation.
Sand Mines and Processing Facilities
The Company’s integrated Oakdale, Wisconsin facility, with on-site rail infrastructure and wet and dry sand processing facilities, has access to two Class I rail lines, the Canadian Pacific Railway through its onsite rail terminal and the Union Pacific Railway through its nearby Byron, Wisconsin facility. The Company commenced operations at its mine and processing facility near Oakdale, Wisconsin in July 2012, and subsequently expanded its operations in 2014, 2015 and 2018. Currently, the annual processing capacity at the Oakdale facility is approximately 5.5 million tons.
In September 2020, the Company acquired two frac sand mines and related processing facilities in Ottawa, Illinois and New Auburn, Wisconsin. The Ottawa facility has an annual processing capacity of approximately 1.6 million tons and access to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (“BNSF”) Class I rail line through the Peru, Illinois transload facility. The Company began operating the Ottawa, Illinois mine and processing facility and Peru, Illinois transload facility in October 2020. The Company has no plans to operate the New Auburn facility for the foreseeable future.
In March 2022, the Company acquired its Blair, Wisconsin frac sand mine and related processing facility. The annual processing capacity at the Blair facility is approximately 2.9 million tons and contains an onsite, unit train capable rail terminal with access to the Class I Canadian National Railway. The Company began operating the Blair mine and processing facility in May 2023.
Transload & Logistics Solutions
In March 2018, the Company acquired the rights to operate a unit train capable transloading terminal in Van Hook, North Dakota to service the Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin and began providing Northern White sand in-basin in April 2018.
In September 2020, the Company acquired the rights to use a rail terminal located in El Reno, Oklahoma.
In September 2021, the Company acquired the rights to construct and operate a transloading terminal in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania to service the Appalachian Basin, including the Marcellus and Utica Formations. The Company began providing sand to customers through this terminal in January 2022 and expanded the facility’s capacity in late 2023.
In December 2023 and January 2024, the Company acquired rights to use transloading terminals in Minerva, Ohio and Dennison, Ohio, respectively and commenced operations servicing the Appalachian Basin in 2024.
In June 2018, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Quickthree Solutions, Inc. (“Quickthree”), a manufacturer of portable vertical proppant storage solution systems. Quickthree formed the basis for the Company’s SmartSystems under which it offers various proppant storage solutions that create efficiencies, flexibility, enhanced safety and reliability for customers by providing the capability to unload, store and deliver proppant at the wellsite, as well as the ability to rapidly set up, takedown and transport the entire system.
