Keynote Speakers Announced For August 2023 Marcellus Shale Water Conference Include Susquehanna River Basin Commission

2nd Annual Marcellus Shale Water Business Update will gather top natural gas and produced water stakeholders from Appalachia at Pittsburgh Westin Aug. 9.

Today, Oilfield Water Connection is pleased to announce that Andrew Dehoff P.E., Executive Director at the Susquehanna River Basin Commission, will deliver the opening keynote address at the 2nd Annual Marcellus Shale Water Business Update Conference.

Mr. Dehoff will share thoughts on Appalachian water trends and sustainability in his remarks, kicking off a productive day of discussion and networking about water management by leading Appalachian natural gas producers and service providers.

The Susquehanna River Basin Commission is an interstate agency that coordinates the management of water resources in the region. The mission of the Commission is to enhance public welfare through comprehensive planning, water supply allocation, and management of the water resources of the Susquehanna River Basin.

As Executive Director at the Commission, Mr. Dehoff has a deep understanding of regional water trends, regulation, risks, and opportunities. The big picture perspective he shares will be valuable to conference attendees and a great way to begin the day.

Following Mr. Dehoff’s remarks, Ryan Hassler, Senior Analyst at Rystad Energy, will deliver the event’s second keynote presentation, sharing data and forecasts on Northeast E&P trends. Attendees can expect to receive a data download on Northeast shale drilling, completion, and production themes as well as an outlook for what’s coming next that will impact the natural gas industry’s water requirements in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays.

From there, the agenda will move into a series of informative panel discussions featuring thought leaders from these companies and more:
