Frac Sand Mining
Delivering Energy at the Source
Supporting Modern Energy Systems
Frac sand drives efficient energy production
Frac sand plays a vital role in powering modern energy systems. As a critical component in hydraulic fracturing, it enhances resource recovery and supports the production of reliable, affordable energy the world depends on. With rising demand for lower-emission fuels and the continued need for energy security, high-quality frac sand remains essential to efficient well performance and optimized output.
Our expertise extends across diverse geological environments and markets, wherever there is demand for high-purity, precisely sized sand to support responsible resource development. We combine operational discipline, technical know-how, and logistical efficiency to ensure customers receive consistent, specification-grade material on time and at scale. In doing so, we help energy producers operate more efficiently, reduce waste, and minimize their overall environmental footprint while supporting the energy transition with the materials that keep modern economies moving.

Mining with Environmental Integrity
Reducing impact while improving efficiency
We recognize the importance of protecting land, water, and air quality in the regions where we operate. Our frac sand sites are designed with water conservation, land rehabilitation, and emission reduction in mind. Closed-loop water systems reduce withdrawals, while progressive reclamation restores land throughout the life of each mine, not only at closure.
We also work to minimize transportation impact through optimized logistics and regional sourcing strategies that shorten haul distances and lower emissions. Each site operates under rigorous environmental standards, with ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance and continuous improvement. Through responsible resource development, we support sustainable energy production and contribute to a lower-impact supply chain for the materials the world relies on.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Understanding Rango’s Work and Approach
Where does your frac sand come from?
Our frac sand is sourced from high-quality deposits in key production regions, including West Texas, and from other locations as demand requires. We operate with a flexible, scalable model that allows us to develop and manage resources wherever energy producers need reliable sand supply.
How do you ensure consistent product quality?
Quality control begins at the source. We use advanced crushing and screening systems, along with continuous sampling and automated process monitoring, to ensure every shipment meets exacting specifications for size, strength, and purity. This consistency supports optimal well performance and efficient operations for our customers.
What environmental practices are in place at your frac sand operations?
Environmental stewardship is built into every phase of our work. We minimize water use through closed-loop systems, reduce land disturbance through careful planning, and reclaim mined areas progressively to restore natural balance. Our goal is to operate efficiently while protecting ecosystems and surrounding communities.
Do you only operate in Texas?
No. While West Texas is a key operating region, our capabilities extend well beyond state lines. We provide frac sand solutions wherever there is demand, supported by a global network of mining, engineering, and logistics expertise. This flexibility allows us to meet customer needs across multiple basins and markets.
