PanXchange Q4: Live Launch U.S. Proppant Market, Matt Jansen Joins Board

DENVER, October 6, 2017 (Newswire.com) - PanXchange (PX) has opened the country’s first ever exchange for physical proppant (frac sand).  It is the only platform available to producers, E&P companies and service companies that aggregates spot and forward physical procurement and sales. Thus, it is the only source for real-time prices where true supply meets demand. On the PX system, members can also manage counterpart exposure and post bids and offers anonymously in real time.   

Unlike prior market launches, PX launched sand with a consortium of over a dozen of the industry’s leading producers and buyers financially committed for the first year. Current members, excluding service companies, represent approximately 30 percent of total U.S. sand production.
