Our Crane County facility is a fully automated, state-of-the-art facility that features a 4 million ton per year plant with a wet plant, intermediate stockpile, dry plant, screening plant and loadout. The facility uses natural gas and electricity to produce whole grain silica through surface mining methods, offering a range of API/ISO certified frac sand grades. The reserves at Crane County contain windblown dune sand lying above ancient dunes of clayey sand, all of the Quaternary age.
Crane was built and became operational in 2018. The facility's location in West Texas allows it to ship local in-basin sand by truck.
