Overview

It is no secret that the oil sector is in crisis. Prices have collapse but no one wants to reduce production. The industry is scrambling to cut costs.

But where there is disruption, there is also opportunity!

Proppants are the single largest cost item in the fracking process. New technology is offering the opportunity to dramatically reduce this cost.

Join us on Thursday 21 April to explore how you can profit from these new technologies.
