CDL performed research and analysis of proppant (frac sand) supply and demand in Western Canada (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba). Discussions with organizations involved in the frac sand supply chain (miners, transporters, transloaders, truckers, pumpers, and operators) were held to determine frac sand pricing at the mine, key transload (storage) locations and at the wellsite across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Demand side analysis included proppant utilization for 5-year historical usage and 5-year forecast of demand in aggregate and separated by key formations.
