As hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling activity have surged, demand for frac sand has skyrocketed as well. During the fracking process, sand and other materials are pushed down into shale and used to help crack open the rock, allowing the hydrocarbons to escape. E&P firms will use an estimated 95 billion pounds of frac sand this year. And that’s just a drop in the bucket compared to its growth potential. According to a new research note by Morgan Stanley, frac sand growth is set to surge by 96% in 2016 — eclipsing supply growth.
Many of these frac sand stocks are structured as master limited partnerships (MLPs), meaning those hefty profits are distributed back to investors as hefty dividends. If you’re looking to add a dose of dividend stocks to your portfolio, the frac sand players have to be on your list. Here are three of the best: Hi-Crush Partners LP (HCLP), Emerge Energy Services LP (EMES) and U.S. Silica Holdings (SLCA).
