Ramar Transportation
Commercial Class 1

Oil & Gas Services

Class 1 perforating charge and seismic logistics for oilfield services — Atlantic Coast drayage, Mid-Atlantic basin coverage.

industry brief

Oil and gas services are heavy users of Class 1 explosives — perforating charges that breach well casing into the reservoir, seismic exploration charges, well stimulation explosives, and various Class 3 frack fluids. The industry's logistics center of gravity is the Texas-Gulf corridor, but Ramar's Atlantic Coast network covers the Marcellus shale region (PA / WV) and serves as a drayage origin for imported well-completion materials and energetic equipment.

Halliburton, SLB, Weatherford, and BJ Services move multi-class freight through East Coast ports for distribution to Mid-Atlantic and Northeast operations. Ramar drays from Norfolk, Philadelphia, and Charleston for those lanes and runs OTR to active basin operations as needed. Cove Point LNG export terminal (Maryland) generates occasional logistics relevance.

questions

Oil & Gas — Frequently Asked

Does Ramar serve Texas / Gulf oilfield operations?
Our primary lane density is Atlantic Coast and east-of-Mississippi. Texas and Gulf-region oilfield work is typically served by carriers based in those regions. Ramar can run partial lanes (Atlantic Coast drayage feeding into Texas-bound long-haul) but is not a primary Permian / Gulf carrier.
What about Marcellus / Mid-Atlantic operations?
Marcellus shale (PA, WV) is squarely within Ramar's operating range. We drayage imported well-completion materials at Philadelphia and Norfolk and run OTR to active basin operations.
