Frac Sand for Pampa Energía

Pampa Energía is an integrated Argentine energy company with growing exposure to Vaca Muerta gas, notably at El Mangrullo and Sierra Chata. Gas-window completions favour -70/+140 mesh for deep-matrix placement. In-Basin Sand produces that cut under API 19C and delivers from 30 km away — shortening the freight leg by 97% versus the Entre Ríos benchmark.

Pampa Energía acreage

Pampa's Neuquén operations include gas-producing unconventional blocks feeding the TGS/TGN pipeline network. Public filings disclose ongoing well count growth. Each new horizontal completed demands API 19C proppant and a reliable logistics chain.

Specification fit

Gas wells typically spec finer mesh to reach deep proppant pack behind the casing. In-Basin Sand's -70/+140 cut meets API 19C roundness, sphericity and crush thresholds, with SGS Minerals (Chile) validation.

Operational advantage

15,000 t/month capacity. 37+ year mine life. Paved road from Malargüe to Añelo. Predictable, repeatable sand arrival for stage-on-stage completions.

Next step

SGS reports, mine documentation and commercial structures available under NDA.
