With a specific focus on the Permian Basin, Lee and John shed light on the potential of addressing productivity concerns by reevaluating in-basin sand usage and considering a switch back to the tried-and-true Northern White Sand. Join us as we explore the nuances of sand selection, their impact on well performance, and the economic considerations that play a pivotal role in shaping operators' decisions.
