Abstract:
A method of delivering proppant to a well site has the steps of transporting a load of proppant in a vessel to a desired location, moving the load of proppant from the vessel into a container so as to create a proppant-loaded container, unloading the proppant-loaded container into a pneumatic bulk trailer, and transporting the unloaded proppant in the pneumatic bulk trailer to well site. The container is placed onto a bed of a truck and moved in proximity to the vessel. The proppant-loaded container is placed onto a tilting mechanism and then tilted so that the proppant is discharged through a flow gate of a container into a hopper. The proppant in the hopper can then be conveyed to the pneumatic bulk trailer.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of moving fracking proppant at a desired location with a plurality of separate containers constructed to store fracking proppant therein, the method comprising:\n a) placing one or more of a plurality of containers, from a stack of the plurality of containers, adjacent the rail line onto one or more trailers of one or more vehicles at a desired first location by use of a container loader/unloader; b) moving a first of the plurality of containers when positioned on the one or more trailers away from the desired first location to a second desired location adjacent a fracturing operation for a well site; and c) scaling a number of the plurality of containers according to an amount of proppant required at a particular location, each of the plurality of containers positioned to include an outlet to allow discharge of proppant therefrom, an opening adjacent a top of the container to load proppant therein, a pair of spaced-apart end walls connected to and extending between a bottom of the container and the top, a pair of side walls connected to and extending between the pair of end walls and the top and the bottom, one or more structural support members positioned to support each of the side walls of the pair of side walls and each of the end walls of the pair of end walls, and a flow gate positioned adjacent the outlet to control flow of proppant through the outlet of each of the plurality of containers.
