SandBox Logistics is revolutionizing last-mile oilfield logistics, one box at a time. The Houston-based operation is outrunning their competition with a bold blend of ingenuity, a relentless drive to make working in the field safer and more efficient, and a fresh perspective on last-mile delivery.
Based on a concept developed by father-son business duo John and Josh Oren in 2013, SandBox was envisioned as a better way to move frac sand using a container or a box. For the unfamiliar, sand and other like materials are used to prop open the cracks and fissures in hydro-fracked shale rock during the oil and gas completion and extraction process. As one can imagine, this takes a tremendous amount of material to work; traditionally, a convoy of trucks bring it to the wellsite, where drivers and workers offload the sand using the trucks pneumatic or air blown pumps. The trucks roll up, blow out sand into antiquated silos, and repeat until the frac job is completed.
Acquired by frac sand giant U.S. Silica in 2016 as a way to transport sand, the innovation quickly turned into an industry-leading last-mile solution, serving all the major shale plays in the country. From the Marcellus to the Permian and beyond, SandBox is the top last-mile oilfield logistics company, and they are on the move.
