The rapid development of shale gas & tight
oil operations in Canadian plays such as
the Duvernay, Montney, Bakken and Horn
River is leading to unprecedented demand
for frac sand in Alberta & British Columbia.
Whilst across the border in the U.S. frac
sand demand is increasingly being met,
Canada now represents the fastest growing
global market for high grade proppant.
However, Canada currently lacks the rail,
storage and transloading infrastructure
necessary to meet the booming demand
for frac sand, which is causing severe
bottlenecks in getting the product from
mines to Canadian wellsites. Moreover,
there is a lack of clarity on the volumes and
types of frac sand that will be required to
meet the specific demands of Canadian
well servicing companies and E&Ps.
The mission of the Canadian Frac Sand
Logistics & Market Forecast Summit
2014 therefore, will be to bring the entire
Canadian frac sand supply chain together
for the first time to evaluate solutions for
overcoming the logistical challenges of
supplying frac sand to Canadian wellsites
and to provide clarity on the volumes and
types of frac sand that will be required in
the key Canadian plays. Speakers at the
event will quantify the volume, location and
Pre-Conference Workshop
k-value of current and projected frac sand
demand in Canada and break down the
latest solutions for establishing optimal rail,
transloading and storage infrastructure to
overcome logistical bottlenecks. Together
they will clarify the scope of the market
opportunity for frac sand in Canada and
explain how stakeholders at every stage of
the supply chain from frac sand suppliers,
to railroad operators, well servicing
companies and E&Ps can take advantage
of the latest developments in frac sand
logistical infrastructure across the nation.
Day one will begin by examining the
demand for frac sand in Canada by
volume, size, k-value, sphericity and
location to quantify the tonnage and
specification of proppant needed to
be supplied. The speakers will then
provide details on the timing, locations
and capacity of rail infrastructure
developments in Alberta and British
Colombia, followed by thought leadership
discussions on factors affecting railcar
availability to reduce bottlenecks and
embargoes. The day continues with an
examination of transload and storage
locations in relation to the hottest
Canadian shale plays, after which
the speakers will examine transload
operational efficiencies and storage
Monday April 28, 2014
capacity requirements to maximize profit
margins. The first day culminates in a
multiple stakeholder panel discussion
about opportunities for collaboration
and communication between industry
representatives from across the supply
chain to overcome frac sand logistical
challenges.
On day two the speakers will project
overall volumes of frac sand supplied
to the Canadian market after which
they will consider the impacts of both
Canadian domestic sand and competing
U.S. northern white sand on frac sand
market price. The second day then
switches its area of focus to retaining
frac sand quality throughout production,
transportation and delivery to consistently
meet end user specifications. The
speakers go on to discuss minimizing
the cost of frac sand logistics, including
a number of sessions on cost effective
options for trucking frac sand directly
from mine to wellsite to eliminate reliance
on rail and transload facilities. The final
sessions will present speakers breaking
down effective equipment maintenance
and cost monitoring strategies to
minimize maintenance costs and identify
opportunities for cost savings.
