Twin Eagle Sand Logistics LLC said Sept. 1 that is has has broken ground on the Permian Rail Park, a terminal which will initially be used for frack sand transloading services.
The Permian Rail Park is Houston-based Twin Eagle’s fifth terminal development and is centrally located to serve the eastern side of the Permian Basin. The 530 acre rail park is located on the Union Pacific Railway about 80 miles west of Big Spring, Texas.
Phase one of the project calls for more than 33,000 feet of track and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2016.
The rail park will initially be used for rail-to-truck sand trans-loading services. Twin Eagle also has phase two plans to develop a loop track capable of supporting crude-by-rail market activity as well as infrastructure to handle trucking solutions for both crude and sand.
The project is currently supported by a sand transloading contract with a major E&P anchor tenant, said Griff Jones, Twin Eagle’s CEO.
“The Permian Basin has demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of a challenging price environment and will likely perform well into a recovery cycle,” Jones said in a statement.
“We believe the industry will continue to demand unit train terminaling infrastructure that demonstrate size and scope as they efficiently manage their supply chain," he added.
Twin Eagle Sand Logistics is a subsidiary of Twin Eagle Resource Management LLC. The company is one of the largest third-party frack sand terminal developers and operators in the country, according to the release.
