HOUSTON, July 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Twin Eagle Sand
Logistics, LLC ("Twin Eagle"), a subsidiary of Twin Eagle Resource
Management, LLC, is pleased to announce that it has landed the
largest frac sand unit train ever handled by the Union Pacific
Railway at its multi-customer Mission Rail Terminal in Elmendorf, Texas. The 140 car train from
Unimin Energy Solutions was almost a mile and a half in length and
was powered by four diesel engines from origin to destination.
"The sand intensity of today's wells continues to rise
materially with some requiring upwards of 80 rail cars of sand or
more," said Griff Jones, Twin Eagle's Chief Executive Officer. "We
believe that world-class terminal infrastructure like what we have
developed at Mission Rail is necessary to help our customers manage
their logistics efficiently and reduce supply chain costs into the
basin."
Mission Rail, which was constructed to serve the heart of the
Eagle Ford Shale, is a 1,000 acre terminal designed to handle with
efficiency the largest unit trains in the frac sand
industry. In addition, Twin Eagle recently completed a 60
million pound frac sand silo system, which is also one of the
largest in the country. The silo system is scaled to house up to
300 railcars worth of frac sand and can load a truck in less than
two minutes.
Twin Eagle is one of the largest third-party frac sand terminal
developers and operators in the country. Twin Eagle sand terminals
are strategically located in the most prolific oil and gas basins.
Locations, in addition to Mission Rail include: the Laredo Terminal
located in the South Eagle Ford, the Evans Terminal located near
Evans, Colorado to serve the DJ
Basin, and the Powder River Basin Terminal in Douglas, Wyoming. A terminal near Big Springs,
Texas is also under development.
Twin Eagle's current terminals, combined, control over 900 rail car
spaces with nearly 50,000 tons of storage capacity.
