A huge constellation of business opportunities has developed around the horizontal drilling and fracking boom. Proppants are just one piece of the action, which also includes all of these on a very large scale...

Drilling
Water hauling and wastewater disposal
Transportation (rail, truck, pipeline)
Manufacturing: pipe, pumps, rail cars, trucks, engines, drilling rigs, drilling mud, multi-stage fracking gear, etc.
Construction
Admin support: accountants, "land men", lawyers, regulators, security
Housing, retail, restaurants, the usual "off the books" activities, etc.
