PanXchange® Sand: Benchmarks & Analysis 10.04.2021

In the Permian basin, FOB Kermit 100m prices and 40/70m sand prices have remained within a $0.10 per ton per ton bandwidth each this week. In-basin sand prices have held steady-to-lower amid stable WTI pricing and sand producers pricing their volumes competitively as the frac spread count increases to attract new customers.

While WTI prices have increased, the best leading indicator for Permian spot sand pricing continues to be levels of upstream capital expenditures.
