Permian frac sand prices have remained steady this week, with FOB Kermit 100m and FOB Kermit 40/70m prices falling by $0.50 per ton respectively. The volatility in price has largely been attributed to increased demand to drill and complete wells to offset production declines in the Permian. In the Permian’s most active areas, we continue to hear of spot prices reaching $13 and $17 per ton for 100m and 40/70m. With higher product demand, trucking and transport efficiency is increased, leading to higher profits for players proximal to more active regions. FOB Odessa Northern White 40/70m sand prices fell by $0.05 ton this week.

Liberty acquires Schlumberger’s Hydraulic Fracturing Division (OneStim): The Frac Sand Perspective

Oil and Gas

In one of the most monumental transactions in the hydraulic fracturing industry to date, Schlumberger (one of the largest oilfield services companies in the world) is selling OneStim, its North American pressure pumping business line to Liberty Oilfield Services Inc in exchange for a 37% equity stake in the proforma entity. The deal is expected to close in Q4 and with a proforma market capitalization of $1.2 billion and a proforma revenue stream of $5.2 billion. After this transaction is executed, investment bank Evercore confirmed that Liberty will become the third-largest oilfield service company in North America. The strategy behind the deal has become a hot topic of debate, seeing as how the hydraulic fracturing industry has been decimated by crude oil demand concerns amid the global coronavirus pandemic.
