Operations and Facilities - The Oakdale facility has approximately 316 million tons of proven recoverable sand reserves, with a current annual nameplate processing capacity of 5.5 million tons[15]. - The company operates a unit train capable transloading terminal in Van Hook, North Dakota, which became operational in April 2018, enhancing delivery options for customers in the Bakken Formation[16]. - Smart Sand's Oakdale facility has a minimum implied proven reserve life of approximately 57 years based on current processing capacity, with potential expansion to 9 million tons per year[22]. - The company has expanded its transloading terminal in Van Hook, North Dakota, which has allowed for more efficient delivery options and an expanded customer base[24]. - The company’s logistics infrastructure includes a facility capable of accommodating multiple unit trains simultaneously, which enhances operational efficiency and reduces transportation costs[25].

Strategic Initiatives - The company plans to increase focus on shorter-term contracts and spot market sales due to customer reluctance for long-term contracts[28]. - The company aims to optimize its logistics infrastructure to maximize product shipment rates and lower transportation costs through dual-served rail capabilities[25]. - The company is developing new transload technology to complement existing solutions, enhancing its service offerings[17]. - The company continues to evaluate and expand its SmartSystems wellsite proppant storage solutions to enhance service offerings and reduce costs for customers[36]. - The company plans to articulate its ESG goals and vision for carbon neutrality in 2020, aligning with global sustainability movements[47].
