Original Post

A reader sent in a comment asking if I knew where Black Cat proppant was manufactured. The company headquarters is in Ft Worth, Texas, but that doesn't mean manufacturing plants are there.

There are at least four distribution points in the Bakken for Black Cat proppant.

I originally opined that, based on the CARBO Ceramics story, the proppant was manufactured in Russia, but now that I see there is a distribution point in Seattle, WA, most likely this proppant is coming from China. It's "funny" no one corrected me when I first blogged about it so long ago.
