Smart Sand Inc.

Smart Sand, which started operations in 2012 and debuted as a public company in fall of 2016, produces frac sand proppant. From its flagship location at Oakdale, Wisconsin, the company is able to ship sand via unit trains on either the Canadian Pacific or Union Pacific railways to virtually all major U.S. oil and gas basins. The company’s reserve base is centered on finer-mesh sands, which are the preferred sand grades for the slickwater fracs predominant in U.S. shale hydraulic fracturing.
