Just Add Water: Why US Shale's Next Big Supply-Chain Revolution Is Wet Sand
"When I say drying frac sand is an energy-intensive process, I mean it," Dorfman assured. "Assuming it takes 300,000 to 400,000 BTUs to dry one ton of frac sand, we estimate close to 1 million tons of CO 2 was emitted in 2019 in the Permian Basin alone—just to dry frac sand, only to mix it with water and get it wet again."

Industrial sand mining overview | | Wisconsin DNR
Industrial sand is sometimes called "frac" sand or silica sand. The extracted sand is often processed locally. Processing of the sand typically involves washing and separating the sand into grain sizes suitable for hydraulic fracturing. The sand is then shipped out of state for use at gas and oil fields for hydraulic fracturing.
