About Atlas Energy Solutions
Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. is a leading proppant producer and
proppant logistics provider, serving primarily the Permian Basin of
West Texas and New Mexico. We operate 12 proppant production
facilities across the Permian Basin with a combined annual
production capacity of 28 million tons, including both large-scale
in-basin facilities and smaller distributed mining units. We manage
a portfolio of leading-edge logistics assets, which includes our
42-mile Dune Express conveyor system, which is currently under
construction and is scheduled to come online in the fourth quarter
of 2024. In addition to our conveyor infrastructure, we manage a
fleet of 120 trucks, which are capable of delivering expanded
payloads due to our custom-manufactured trailers and patented
drop-depot process. Our approach to managing both our proppant
production and proppant logistics operations is intently focused on
leveraging technology, automation and remote operations to drive
efficiencies.
We are a low-cost producer of various high-quality, locally
sourced proppants used during the well completion process. We offer
both dry and damp sand, and carry various mesh sizes including 100
mesh and 40/70 mesh. Proppant is a key component necessary to
facilitate the recovery of hydrocarbons from oil and natural gas
wells.
Our logistics platform is designed to increase the efficiency,
safety and sustainability of the oil and natural gas industry
within the Permian Basin. Proppant logistics is increasingly a
differentiating factor affecting customer choice among proppant
producers. The cost of delivering sand, even short distances, can
be a significant component of customer spending on their well
completions given the substantial volumes that are utilized in
modern well designs.
We continue to invest in and pursue leading-edge technologies,
including autonomous trucking, digital infrastructure, and
artificial intelligence, to support opportunities to gain
efficiencies in our operations. To this end, we have recently taken
delivery of next-generation dredge mining assets to drive
efficiencies in our proppant production operations. These
technology-focused investments aim to improve our cost structure
and also combine to produce beneficial environmental and community
impacts.
While our core business is fundamentally aligned with a lower
emissions economy, our core obligation has been, and will always
be, to our stockholders. We recognize that maximizing value for our
stockholders requires that we optimize the outcomes for our broader
stakeholders, including our employees and the communities in which
we operate. We are proud of the fact that our approach to
innovation in the hydrocarbon industry while operating in an
environmentally responsible manner creates immense value. Since our
founding in 2017, our core mission has been to improve human
beings’ access to the hydrocarbons that power our lives while also
delivering differentiated social and environmental progress. Our
Atlas team has driven innovation and has produced industry-leading
environmental benefits by reducing energy consumption, emissions,
and our aerial footprint. We call this Sustainable Environmental
and Social Progress.
We were founded in 2017 by Ben M. “Bud” Brigham, our Executive
Chairman, and are led by an entrepreneurial team with a history of
constructive disruption bringing significant and complementary
experience to this enterprise, including the perspective of
longtime E&P operators, which provides for an elevated
understanding of the end users of our products and services. Our
executive management team has a proven track record with a history
of generating positive returns and value creation. Our experience
as E&P operators was instrumental to our understanding of the
opportunity created by in-basin sand production and supply in the
Permian Basin, which we view as North America’s premier shale
resource and which we believe will remain its most active through
economic cycles.
