The entire industry is built on inflated costs. Around here the sand plants hire people at 5 to 6 times the current market price for labor. Abuse the fuck out of them for a couple of years, then as price goes down they just pull the plug, dissolve the company, and ignore reclamation of the land.
Most plants are back up and running again, so someone's upping production
