Atlas Energy Solutions Signs Sand Supply Agreement for the Dune Express Conveyor-Based Logistics Solution

Atlas Energy Solutions (referred to as “Atlas”) today announced that it has signed sand supply and logistics agreements with major oil companies, including a multi-year agreement with bpx energy, that includes the delivery of proppant via Atlas’s Delaware Basin conveyor-based logistics solution (the “Dune Express”). Commercial in-service of the Dune Express is currently expected to take place in 2024. In January 2023, Atlas plans to deploy built-for-purpose trucking assets in advance of this transformational piece of logistics infrastructure.

The Dune Express, which will originate at Atlas’s Kermit, TX facility, will serve the Delaware Basin, and represents the first long-haul proppant conveyor system in the world. The Dune Express is designed to be 42-miles in length and will feature more than 75,000 tons of dry storage within the system. The Dune Express is expected to take thousands of trucks off public roads, resulting in the avoidance of traffic accidents and associated fatalities in the region, while significantly reducing the emissions footprint of sand delivery in the Permian. In combination with Atlas’s high-efficiency trucking fleet, Atlas offers a proppant and logistics solution that is purpose-built to reliably deliver value to Permian Basin operators and improve the safety of the local communities of the region.

Bud Brigham, Executive Chairman and CEO of Atlas commented, “These agreements represent a validation of our differentiated logistics platform. We recognized from day one when we started Atlas that the intensity of sand delivery trucks on the road, and the associated societal and environmental consequences, was unacceptable. We therefore greatly appreciate the commitment of bpx energy to transform the Permian into a more reliable, prosperous, safe and environmentally friendly energy producing region, one that is so very vital to the future of our country and the world.”

Kyle Koontz, bpx energy COO of Development, added “bpx energy is committed to safely producing high-margin barrels while driving down emissions. This agreement with Atlas is another step in our journey and shows that we can use the latest technology to fundamentally improve safety in the Permian by reducing truck traffic while enhancing our development program through logistics and planning initiatives like The Dune Express.”
