Emerge Energy Services LP Terminates Independence Project

 

Fort Worth, Texas — April 7, 2015 — Superior Silica Sands LLC (“SSS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Emerge Energy Services LP (“Emerge Energy”), today announced that it will no longer pursue the construction of a silica sand processing facility in Independence, Wisconsin.

 

“This was a difficult but necessary decision,” said Rick Shearer, Chief Executive Officer of Emerge Energy and SSS.  “Given current economic conditions affecting the frac sand industry as a whole, as well as the specific mining and processing economics at Independence, we feel that the project is no longer economically viable.”
