Agenda Announced For 3rd Annual Oilfield Water Markets Conference In Fort Worth (May 17-18, 2023)


Market Trends. Deals. Risks. Sustainability. Policy. Funding. Legal Issues. As the industry’s premier business event of the year, the discussion here will influence the future of produced water. 
Today, the agenda has been released – see it here or read on for more details…

 

This event’s topic outline is non-technical, focusing on the key concerns of executives that manage oilfield water and run oilfield water companies. It may be seen on the conference website along with details on many networking opportunities at the event, lodging, sponsorships, and registration (link)

Formulated with extensive industry input, this agenda will set the tone in U.S. full-cycle onshore oilfield water management for the rest of 2023 and beyond. The speaker list is second-to-none, heavy on C-level industry leaders, big E&P names, and the foremost business minds in the sector.

The day before the main event, several organizations – including B3 Insight and Permian Basin Water Management Council – plan to host private meetings for their members on location, enhancing the networking opportunities for everyone attending. Later that evening, the event’s stakeholders will gather at the speaker / sponsor happy hour.

Then on May 17th, Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy, kicks off the event with a big picture talk on The Future Of Energy, followed by the Oilfield Water Data Trends Update from B3 Insight’s Kelly Bennett. The event’s first panel will be a discussion on The Future Of Oilfield Water Management between Aris Water Solutions CEO Amanda Brock and senior E&P and midstream water strategists.

Other presenters will include TX RRC Commissioner Jim Wright on seismicity, a top Rystad analyst on shale trends, and case studies by leaders from RWI Enhanced Evaporation, CarboNet, and T Bank. Rounding out the conference will be a series of cutting-edge business panel discussions:

  • E&P Water Category Manager Panel
  • Market Trends In Water Midstream Panel
  • Money In Water – Valuation, Consolidation & Funding Future Facilities
  • Produced Water Law & Policy Update
  • New Frontiers – Leading-Edge Innovations In Water Management
  • Clearing The Path For Large Scale Beneficial Reuse
  • Produced Water Risks & Opportunities In The CCUS Rush
  • Seismicity Mitigation & Impacts

The event organizers continue to discuss participation with various thought leaders, so please stay tuned for several additional big names to be added to the already stellar speaker lineup reflected on the agenda now.
