Trump’s tariffs, 42-Mile conveyor belt, UK dodge gas storage crisis | BDE 02.04.25
Big things are happening in the oilfield—literally. We’re talking about a 42-mile, all-electric conveyor belt hauling frac sand across the Delaware Basin, cutting out thousands of truckloads and making operations safer, cleaner, and more efficient. Bud Brigham and his team just dropped $400 million on this beast, moving 13 million pounds of sand annually and changing the game for shale drilling. We’re breaking down why this could be the future of frac logistics, what it means for rigs and automation, and how it stacks up against traditional sand hauling. Plus, a look at the latest energy headlines—OPEC moves, US policy shifts, and what’s shaking up oil markets, from Chevron to ExxonMobil.
