Mines and delivers frac sand (proppant) to Permian Basin oil & gas producers for hydraulic fracturing.
Sells sand by the tonne and delivers it with the Dune Express, a long conveyor belt that carries sand from its mines to well sites and cuts truck trips; being in the basin saves transport. Its fortunes track oil companies' well completions in the Permian.
Moat: narrow (scale, cost advantage, distribution). In-basin Permian sand mines cut transport costs versus sand shipped from further away.
