Drill, Baby, Drill

2/5/2025

 

The Importance of Frac Sand in the Energy Industry

The phrase "Drill, Baby, Drill" became a rallying cry during the height of the U.S. shale boom--a call to increase domestic oil and natural gas production through drilling, especially in the wake of rising energy demands. While drilling is crucial to unlocking new sources of energy, there's an often-overlooked component that makes it all possible: frac sand.
In this post, we’ll dive into why frac sand is essential in the drilling process and how companies like Erna Sands are helping ensure energy producers have access to the highest quality frac sand available.
What is Frac Sand? Frac sand is a specialized type of sand used in hydraulic fracturing (also known as "fracking") to extract oil and natural gas from deep underground. The sand is mixed with water and chemicals to create a slurry that’s pumped at high pressure into drilled wells. The purpose of this slurry is to fracture rock formations, allowing oil or gas to flow more easily to the surface.
But not just any sand will do. The grains need to be durable, angular, and of a certain size to withstand the immense pressure of fracking and ensure that the fractures in the rock remain open. That's where the importance of quality frac sand comes in.
Why Is Quality Frac Sand Important? Not all sand is created equal. The key characteristics of frac sand that make it suitable for use in fracking include:
  1. Roundness and Angularity: Frac sand grains need to be angular and sharp-edged to interlock and hold fractures open. Rounded grains can cause the sand to shift or compact, reducing its effectiveness.
  2. Size: The size of the sand particles is also critical. Sand that is too fine will clog up the well, while sand that is too coarse can cause instability.
  3. Strength: Frac sand must be strong enough to withstand the crushing pressure of deep shale formations. Poor-quality sand can break down under pressure, which leads to the well losing efficiency.
  4. Purity: High-purity silica sand is preferred because it ensures fewer impurities and provides maximum conductivity for oil or gas extraction.
As the demand for energy continues to grow, hydraulic fracturing has become one of the most effective methods to extract oil and natural gas from hard-to-reach sources, such as shale formations. Frac sand plays a critical role in this process by enabling energy companies to maximize their production while minimizing operational costs.
Fracking allows oil and gas companies to access reserves that would otherwise be too expensive or impossible to tap into. But without the right kind of frac sand, the process can be less effective, leading to reduced yields and higher costs. This is why having a reliable supplier of high-quality frac sand is more important than ever.
How Erna Sands Can Help: At Erna Sands, we specialize in providing top-tier frac sand for the energy sector. Our sand meets the highest industry standards, ensuring that your hydraulic fracturing operations run smoothly and efficiently. Whether you’re drilling a new well or servicing an existing one, we’re here to supply you with the frac sand you need, when you need it.

  • Custom Solutions: Every well is different, which is why we offer tailored frac sand solutions to meet the specific needs of your project.
  • Competitive Pricing: We strive to provide high-quality frac sand at competitive prices.

"Drill, Baby, Drill" is more than just a catchy slogan—it represents the importance of accessing and efficiently utilizing our nation’s natural resources. But in the world of energy production, it’s not just the drill that matters. The right materials, like frac sand, play a key role in unlocking the potential of these energy reserves. 

now available- golf and turf infill

1/27/2025

 
Transform Your Lawn and Golf Spaces with Premium Turf Infill from ERNA Sands
Artificial grass offers a lush, evergreen look with minimal maintenance, and its true strength lies in the quality of the infill beneath the surface. At ERNA Sands, we take pride in offering high-quality Golf and Turf Infill Sand, specifically designed to enhance the performance and longevity of your artificial grass. Whether you’re upgrading a golf course, backyard putting green, or residential lawn, our Turf Infill Sand is the ultimate choice.
What Makes ERNA Sands’ Turf Infill Superior?Our Premium Turf Infill delivers superior results, enhancing both the appearance and performance of artificial grass. Available in convenient bags or bulk truckloads, it’s designed to meet the needs of any project, large or small. It offers customizable color options such as Dark Green, Light Green, Blend, or Natural to match your turf’s appearance perfectly, creating a seamless, vibrant, and realistic look. An anti-microbial coating keeps harmful bacteria, fungi, and other microbes at bay, ensuring a cleaner and healthier surface—especially beneficial for spaces frequented by children and pets. Additionally, it is non-toxic and eco-friendly, making it safe for homes and recreational areas where safety is a priority.
Our infill also helps blades stand tall, maintaining the natural appearance and resilience of your artificial grass. Whether you’re aiming for a pristine lawn or a smooth golf course, this feature ensures consistent performance. It prevents water pooling and improves overall drainage so that your turf remains fresh and ready for use in any weather. The infill naturally reduces ammonia buildup, a common issue in pet-friendly areas, ensuring your turf stays odor-free and inviting.
Choosing the Right Cut SizeOur Turf Infill is available in two versatile cut sizes: 15/30 and 30/50. The 15/30 cut size is ideal for projects requiring a coarser finish and maximum durability, while the 30/50 cut size is perfect for fine applications where a softer, smoother finish is desired. Both sizes are versatile and compatible with various artificial grass types, making it easy to achieve your desired results.
Why Infill MattersInfill plays an essential role in the functionality and appearance of any artificial grass system. It provides necessary support to keep turf blades upright, ensuring they don’t flatten over time. Acting as a soft, protective layer, it makes the surface comfortable for walking, playing, or practicing golf. Infill ensures water flows through the turf quickly, preventing puddles and water damage while helping anchor the turf in place, avoiding shifting or wrinkling.
Application RecommendationsTo achieve optimal results with our Premium Turf Infill, use 1-2 pounds per square foot of turf. This ensures proper blade support, reduces matting, and maintains the overall integrity of your lawn. Spread the infill evenly using a drop spreader and brush the turf gently to ensure the infill settles between the blades. In high-traffic or pet-heavy areas, consider adding extra infill to combat wear and reduce odors effectively.
Golf Course ApplicationsGolfers demand precision, and artificial greens require infill that delivers just that. ERNA Sands’ Turf Infill enhances the playability of putting greens and golf courses by providing a consistent, smooth surface for putting, enhanced drainage to handle rainy days, and improved durability to withstand repeated use. Whether you’re managing a professional golf course or creating a backyard green, our infill ensures the perfect balance of performance and aesthetics.
Benefits for HomeownersArtificial grass has become a popular choice for homeowners looking to reduce maintenance while enjoying a green lawn year-round. Our Turf Infill creates a safe play area perfect for families with kids and pets, thanks to its non-toxic, anti-microbial properties. It minimizes maintenance by enhancing durability and reducing the need for upkeep. Additionally, Dark Green and Light Green color options reflect sunlight, reducing surface temperatures and making your lawn more enjoyable during hot days.
