Frac sand · Vaca Muerta
We know which sand works before it travels.
We test sand at the quarry and issue a fitness report for every batch. Only the sand that works reaches the well, with proof.

The cost of finding out late
Today you pay for the trip. Then you find out.
Sand leaves the quarry, travels 1,300 km by truck, and only at the well do you learn whether it met spec. By then, everything is paid.

USD 17per ton at the quarry
Everything is paid before knowing if it works.

Quarry screeningFieldScreen
A camera measures every grain in seconds, on the belt, right at the quarry. Every truck leaves checked.
- Grain-by-grain measurement
- Results in seconds
- No waiting for the lab
Optimized blends
Blend
We combine sands from different sources to meet the well’s spec at the lowest cost.
- Custom blending recipe
- Cheaper, closer sand where it performs
- Less freight per useful ton
Like a blood test before surgery.
The report
A result you understand at a glance.
Every batch gets a clear rating, backed by lab testing.
GreenWorth the freight
Rounded and clean. Meets spec.
YellowWorks in a blend
Cheaper and closer: performs when combined.
RedNever leaves the quarry
Angular, with dark grains and fines. Not worth the freight.
Who it’s for
For those who use it and those who sell it.
Operators
Receive every batch with its report, from source to well. Stop paying freight for sand that fails spec, with traceability of what goes downhole.
Sand producers
Validate production at the source and sell with a quality report. Know which part of the quarry is worth the freight and which is best blended.
