Pioneer Natural Resources Co. (PXD) will close its Brady, Texas, sand mine and expects to record a related fourth-quarter charge of $350 million to $400 million.

The company expects to wind down operations during the first quarter and transition to 100% West Texas sand by May 2019.

Pioneer said "new West Texas sand mines with their low cost of mining and proximity to our Permian acreage position have provided us a more cost-effective, long-term source of sand supply."
