Santrol, a Fairmount Minerals company, announced it now has five Eagle Ford shale terminals to lower operators' proppant transportation cost. With all of these strategically located terminals, a greater proppant supply is closer to the formation's wellsites so operators can work even more efficiently.
"We have more terminals with more available railcar capacity than any other frac sand supplier in the region," says Tom Bonno, Santrol's terminal field service manager. "Our proppant is available at the right place at the right time."
By expanding to five Eagle Ford terminals, Santrol can easily ship more than one million tons of proppant per year throughout the formation. The terminals are supplying Santrol's Northern White frac sand and high-performance, resin-coated proppants for hydraulic fracturing.
The five rail terminals are located in:
Alice TX--two rail terminals, capable of handling bulk material and 4,000-lb bulk bags, serving the Eagle Ford formation's southern end with access to US 281 and State Highway 44, in addition to Interstate 37.
Gardendale TX--rail terminal facility serving the formation's western end with access to Interstate 35.
Gonzales TX--rail terminal facility serving the formation's eastern end with access to US 90, US 183, and State Highway 97.
San Antonio TX--terminal facility serving the formation's northern end with access to Interstate 37 and Interstate 35.
All five terminals operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with logistical support available around the clock. Laboratory and analytical support is available at each location.
