Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Aaron Levitt]

  At its core, CARBO Ceramics (CRR) manufactures synthetic proppants used in oil and gas drilling. The takeaway for E&P firms willing to cough up the extra bucks for "artificial sand" is that they are able to squeeze out more natural gas and shale oil from wells using CRR's products — about 20% more. That extra production, especially given the high price for oil, can mean the difference between whether a project ! is profitable or not.
