Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. today announced the first commercial delivery of sand off its Dune Express conveyor system in the Permian basin. The sand was originally produced and placed onto Atlas’ Dune Express at its Kermit facility and traveled 42-miles to its End-of-Line loadout facility in New Mexico.

“The first commercial delivery utilizing the Dune Express conveyor system is a major milestone for Atlas, our shareholders and our customers,” said John Turner, President & CEO of Atlas. “The Dune Express is a step change in oilfield logistics and will help redefine the efficiency and reliability for the Permian oil and gas community. I want to extend a big thank you to all of our employees, and particularly our construction team, for bringing this innovative project online.”

Proppant is a key component necessary to facilitate the recovery of hydrocarbons from oil and natural gas wells. Atlas’ logistics platform is designed to increase the efficiency, safety and sustainability of the oil and natural gas industry within the Permian basin.
