Shale Support Global Holdings, LLC, which provides frac-sands and logistical solutions to the oil and gas proppant market, recently announced that it signed an extension to continue working with Shale Rail as the exclusive supply company for a Wysox, Pa., facility.

Shale Rail revealed plans to add an additional new track to their yard to provide more capacity for the Wysox area. The expansion will help enhance service performance and reliability for several customers in the coming years while maintaining efficient truck flows within the facility, Shale Support noted.

“We look forward to our continued partnership with Shale Support through 2020 and beyond,” Thomas Coleman, vice president of business development at Northeast Freight Transfer, the parent company of Shale Rail, said. “We are excited to be able to provide producers in the basin a low-cost, high-performance solution. In addition, we will be adding new track and infrastructure next year, which will increase capacity in Wysox to support completion operations by E&P’s in Northeast Pennsylvania.”

The Wysox location has the capacity to transload over 80,000 tons per month of frac sand.
