It has been another action-packed week in the world of frac sand as we have seen substantial price changes in both the Permian and Northern White Sand markets. In the Permian, FOB Kermit 100m and 40/70m prices have risen by $1.25 per ton and $1.75 per ton respectively.
This time last year, the PX team took every opportunity to tease me whenever I used the expression “the tail wagging the dog.” I was referring to the pie-in-the-sky forecasts for the US addressable market for CBD. Specifically, it disturbed me that these multi-billion dollar forecasts were based on retail shelf prices. It’s as illogical as quoting the US wheat market in terms of bags of flour at the supermarket. Estimating in this way grossly distorts the market fundamentals, especially considering that with regard to cannabinoids, a little bit of hemp goes a very long way.

Permian frac sand prices continue to hold steady this week, with both FOB Kermit 100m and FOB Kermit 40/70m prices remaining within a $0.05 per ton bandwidth since last week. FOB Odessa Northern White 40/70m sand prices rose by $0.05 ton this week, compared to $0.10 per ton last week, suggesting its pickup in demand is losing steam.
