Improve Sand Mine Utilisation to protect margin and reduce cost
Mine and transload output matched to the frac calendar so cost per tonne falls.

The Challenge
The opportunity is to eliminate mines run to plan rather than to the frac calendar, transload capacity idle in one basin and short in another, and cost per tonne known only after the month. The proposed workflow is source-linked, but the current operating baseline and financial value remain illustrative until validated with the client.
How It Works
- Reads mine output, transload throughput, rail movements and the frac calendar.
- Matches production and transload plans to forecast demand by basin.
- Reports cost per tonne delivered and flags where capacity is idle or short.
What It Removes
- Mines run to plan rather than to the frac calendar
- Transload capacity idle in one basin and short in another
- Cost per tonne known only after the month
Input Data RequirementsMine production and downtime records, transload throughput, rail and trucking movements, frac calendar
Output FormatMine and transload plan by basin, cost per tonne delivered, idle and short capacity report
