Sand silos play an indispensable role in the smooth operation of oilfield activities, especially in hydraulic fracturing. Keep reading to learn a few of the benefits of sand silos for streamlined proppant management, material protection, and operational cost savings.
- Centralizing Proppant Management. Sand silos centralize the storage of large proppant volumes, simplifying coordination and minimizing the need for frequent replenishment, thus enhancing operational workflow.
- Better Protection of Materials. Sand silos are engineered to protect the proppant from moisture, wind, and contamination. This protection maintains the quality and effectiveness of the sand used in fracturing operations.
- Safety Risks are Minimized. Handling massive quantities of sand comes with safety risks from silica dust exposure. Sand silos have dust control systems that minimize silica dust release during loading and unloading operations.
- Cost-effective operations. By reducing the frequency of sand deliveries, you’ll spend less on transportation costs and the workforce required for proppant handling. Efficiencies from using sand silos translate into faster drilling and completion times, further increasing profitability.
- Scalability and Flexibility. Our custom-designed sand silos offer scalability and flexibility to meet your evolving oilfield operation’s needs. Whether expanding your operation or adapting to changing project requirements, sand silos can accommodate varying volumes of sand, so your storage capabilities grow with your operation.
