As drilling and completions continue to accelerate across the Permian Basin, operators are under more pressure than ever to deliver results efficiently and at scale. In this high-stakes environment, frac sand—often considered a commodity—can quickly become a critical bottleneck or a strategic advantage. That’s where The Sandpile comes in.
We offer customized frac sand services that go beyond simply delivering products. By tailoring every element of the sand logistics process—from sourcing and contracts to storage and last-mile delivery—we help Permian Basin operators eliminate downtime, control costs, and move fast in a volatile market.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes customized sand services essential—and how Sandpile is redefining how sand supply should work in the field.
1. Flexible Contracts That Work With You
One of the most common pain points we hear from operators is the rigidity of traditional sand supply agreements. These long-term, inflexible contracts can leave you exposed when market conditions shift—whether it’s sudden demand changes, rig delays, or supply disruptions.
At Sandpile, we offer flexible contracting options that are designed to move with your operations. Whether you already have a contracted mine and just need help coordinating deliveries, or you’re looking for a full-service supply and logistics partner, we’ve got you covered.
We tailor our agreements based on:
- Well schedules and production forecasts
- Budgetary constraints and cash flow goals
- Operating scale and geographical focus
This flexibility allows our clients to scale up or dial back quickly, without being penalized or locked into terms that no longer serve them.
2. Local Sourcing = Faster, Smarter, Cheaper
The Permian Basin is vast, and not all sand is created equal—or located equally close to your wellsite. Long hauls can crush efficiency, jack up costs, and introduce risk to your schedule. That’s why local sourcing is at the heart of what we do.
Through our established network of regional sand mines and transload facilities, we source high-quality sand from strategic locations across the Permian. This proximity to your operations means:
- Shorter delivery times
- Lower transportation costs
- Fewer trucks on the road
- Greater resilience during market disruptions
In an industry where time is money and every delay has a ripple effect, sourcing smarter is a game changer.
3. Onsite Sand Services That Reduce Congestion and Confusion
Managing sand on location shouldn’t feel like controlled chaos—but for many operators, it does. Dozens of trucks crowding the pad, staging equipment scattered, and delays in offloading that throw off the entire frac schedule.
That’s where our onsite sand management services come into play.
We provide a full suite of solutions to simplify and streamline your onsite operations:
- Inventory storage and monitoring
- Real-time coordination with carriers
- Equipment staging and transloading
- Dust control and environmental compliance
By taking the operational burden off your team, we free up your crews to focus on execution while we handle the moving parts. Our goal is to help create a safer, more predictable worksite that runs with less friction and more consistency.
4. Scalable Infrastructure for a Fast-Paced Market
The Permian doesn’t slow down—and neither do we. Whether you’re supporting a few wells a month or managing multiple rigs across different counties, your sand partner should be able to scale with your needs.
At Sandpile, our operational model is built for growth. With access to:
- Multiple mine and transload partners
- A vetted carrier network
- Onsite equipment fleets and mobile storage
- Advanced scheduling and logistics tools
…we’re equipped to keep pace with your project timelines. This scalability ensures you don’t run into supply issues when activity spikes—and that you can continue executing without interruption when market conditions change.
5. Data-Driven Efficiency
One of the often-overlooked aspects of customized sand solutions is the value of data. At Sandpile, we integrate logistics software and real-time tracking into every level of service. This allows our clients to:
- Forecast demand more accurately
- Track deliveries in real-time
- Get proactive alerts for potential disruptions
- Analyze usage patterns to improve future planning
We believe that better information leads to better decisions. That’s why we work closely with your team to turn sand logistics into a transparent, measurable, and optimized process.
