Enserco Midstream LLC will buy a majority interest in Frac Resources LLC, one of the largest frac sand logistics and distribution companies in the Eagle Ford shale, Enserco said Jan. 22.

An attorney representing Enserco said he could no comment on the value of the deal.

Houston’s Frac Resources moved more than 750 million pounds of frac sand in 2013 using different modes of transportation.

In the Eagle Ford, it owns 20,000 tons of warehouse storage, 350 rail car spaces of on-track storage in Laredo and is constructing 200 spaces with plans to construct another 700 rail car spaces of on-track storage at its Mission Rail Park location.

In the Permian Basin, Frac Resources plans to develop the Permian Rail Park near Big Spring, Texas.

The acquisition of Frac Resources extends Enserco’s multi-commodity terminaling strategy. With combined terminal locations in Texas, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming, Enserco and Frac Resources are aiming to become the premier frac sand distribution network and service provider to pressure pumping and frac sand companies across North America, Enserco said.

“As the demand for frac sand grows with advancements in horizontal drilling logistics and supply chain management become more critical to service companies and operators,” said Griff Jones, president and CEO of Twin Eagle Resource Management LLC, the parent company of Enserco. “The geographic location of our terminals in heart of North America’s most prolific shale plays, combined with direct connections to mainline rail service, provides our customers with ready access to reliable supplies of frac sand.”

Jefferies & Co.’s frac demand outlook points to 18% year over year sand growth by the fourth quarter 2014.

“With the rapid demand growth of frac sand and other oilfield services being observed today in the North American oil basins, we see this partnership as a key ingredient to the development and growth of Frac Resources,” said George Cook and Kyle Kinsel, principals of Frac Resources, in a release.

Frac Resources’ predecessor was founded three years ago by Frontier Logistics LP by Kinsel. Frontier Logistics, a diversified provider of supply chain management services to the plastics industry, will continue to serve as operator of Frac Resources’ terminals in Texas.

Enserco is a privately-held subsidiary of Twin Eagle Resource Management. Enserco owns and operates crude oil logistical assets in North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming and has plans to develop additional assets in these areas, as well as other areas around North America. Twin Eagle Resource Management, based in Houston, Texas, is a leader in the wholesale marketing of energy-related commodities including natural gas, power and environmental products and services.
