Shale operators and service companies will meet with leading proppant experts during the Argentina Frac Sand Logistics 2022 exhibition and conference, which will take place August 29-30 at the Emperador Hotel in Buenos Aires.
At this event, frac sand buyers, sellers and service companies will explore new cost-effective supply and logistics solutions for the shale industry, a rapidly growing sector in Argentina.
Argentina is on its way to becoming a world producer of shale oil and gas. The challenge is how to exploit these large shale reserves at low cost in the Neuquén, Austral, San Jorge and Cuyana deposits, so that commercial production is feasible. The main challenge for Argentine producers is importing and delivering proppant profitably and transporting the water used for shale operations to remote deserts. Proppant supply will play a critical role in the development of Vaca Muerta, D-129 and other unconventional works within Argentina’s shale basins.
The objective of this conference will be to bring the frac sand supply chain closer to future Argentine shale operators in order to evaluate new solutions to overcome the logistical and marketing challenges of supplying proppants to shale wells throughout the Argentine territory. .
The event will be attended by prominent speakers: Gonzalo Monroy from GMEC, Misiano Guillermo from Grupo PTP, Malcolm Swanson from Astec, Mariano Grassi from Weir Vulco Argentina SA, José Pablo Elverdín from Argenmar, Ron Heap from Tarmac Internacional, Kevin Bowen from Shale Support, Mario Oves from HORIBA Scientific, Pedro Freire from McLanahan Aggregate Systems and Álvaro Ríos from Gas Energy Latin America.
The conference topics will be focused on supply and demand forecasts for the frac sand market, new developments in the rail loading, unloading and transhipment sectors, reduction of transportation costs and price dynamics, optimization of rail infrastructure. existing data, storage points and capacity, land and last-mile transportation strategies, as well as end-user case studies and proppant quality requirements.
