Austin-based Atlas Energy Solutions said this week it made the first commercial delivery of sand off the Dune Express, its 42-mile conveyor system. Early on Sunday morning, a commercial proppant delivery occurred at Atlas’ end-of-line facility in New Mexico after it was produced and placed on the Dune Express at Atlas’ Kermit facility.
John Turner, president and CEO, said Monday, “The Dune Express is a step change in oilfield logistics and will help redefine the efficiency and reliability for the Permian oil and gas community… The Dune Express will help make the communities of west Texas safer places to work and live by reducing truck traffic on public roads.”
Atlas Energy Solutions, proppant producer and proppant logistics provider, serves the Permian Basin of west Texas and New Mexico. It operates 14 proppant production facilities in Permian Basin with a combined annual capacity of 29 million tons.
