Bringing together frac-sand buyers, sellers, and service companies in Argentina
Welcome to the Argentina Frac Sand Logistics 2021 Exhibition and Conference where shale operators and service companies will meet with leading proppant experts in Buenos Aires, Argentina to explore new cost-effective frac sand supply and logistics solutions for the fast-developing Argentinian shale industry.
Argentina is on course to becoming a global shale oil and gas producer. The challenge is how to exploit these large shale reserves across in the Neuquén, Austral, San Jorge and Cuyana shale plays, at low costs to enable commercial production. The main challenge for Argentinian producers is to import and deliver proppant cost-effectively and to transport frac sand used for shale operations to remote deserts. The supply of proppants will therefore play a critical role in the development of the Vaca Muerta, the D-129, and the other unconventional plays within Argentina's shale basins.
How will the current market for proppants impact supplies to Argentina? Will the Argentinian operators be able to absorb the costs associated with frac-sand transportation and compete with the U.S. market? The supply chain across North America is already under pressure to adopt cost-cutting strategies and navigating through the market has become increasingly complex.
In addition to market constraints, logistics and transportation companies, together with rail and transloading facilities need to find practical solutions to enable Argentinian operators to compete. Existing Argentinian transportation networks need to focus on efficiencies in order to keep costs low for shale operations to be commercially viable.
The objective of the Argentina Frac Sand Logistics 2021 conference will be to bring the frac-sand supply chain industry together with upcoming Argentinian shale operators to evaluate new solutions for overcoming the market and logistical challenges of supplying proppant to shale wells across Argentina.
Following the huge success of our previous Frac Sand conferences across North America, this year’s event in Argentina will provide a forum for all stakeholders from proppant experts and suppliers, to railroad operators, well servicing companies and E&Ps, to network and build cross-market relationships and to discuss the latest developments in proppant logistics for the Argentinian shale industry.
Our agenda will include:
- Frac sand market supply and demand forecasts
- New rail loading, offloading, and transloading developments
- Reducing transportation costs and pricing dynamics
- Optimising on existing rail infrastructure, storage points, and capacity
- Trucking and last-mile transportation strategies
- End users case studies and proppant quality requirements
