Flood of Sand Points to Shakeout for Shale Suppliers

Sand is a key ingredient for shale drillers, who use a mixture of sand, water and chemicals to fracture rock formations deep underground and release the oil and gas trapped inside. But the flood of sand is hitting the market just as growth has begun to slow in the Permian Basin because of pipeline and labor constraints that make oil and gas ...
