SUGAR LAND, Texas, Aug. 8, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Santrol, a Fairmount Minerals company, announced today the opening of its seventh proppant terminal in the Mid-Continent region. The new Ada, Oklahoma, rail terminal—strategically located in the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province (SCOOP) with access to State Highway 377—ensures customers have product supply closer to the wellhead for improved logistics.
"Our new Ada terminal is near a Santrol resin-coating plant and in an ideal location in the Midcon's SCOOP so customers can continuously improve how they source proppant for the hydraulic fracturing of their oil and gas wells," said Tom McCoy, director of Terminal Management for Fairmount Minerals.
