Permian Pearl® Sand/Kermit Operations Technical Data

Categories: Data Sheets, Facilities

The Kermit facility has an annual production capacity of 6 million tons of high-quality Permian Pearl frac sand. Sourced from active eolian sand dunes of the Quaternary period, Kermit’s natural proppant is very well sorted with a high quartz content. Constant reworking by West Texas winds has left only the strongest grains.
