Oilfield Water Connection Announces Second Consecutive Sold-Out Conference

Registered attendees of the Oilfield Water Industry Update Conference are looking forward to knowledge sharing and networking with a full house of their peers this Friday.

On October 4, 2019, approximately 170 business leaders and investors from the oilfield water industry are expected to gather in Houston for Oilfield Water Connection’s second consecutive sold-out event.

A full week before the event (on September 27, 2019) all available seats for the event in the Houston Petroleum Club were reserved.

Important note for folks who wish to attend but do not have a pass yet:  the current attendee list includes several verbal reservations, which may become available in the days leading up to the event. To inquire about any potential availability and be added to the waiting list, please email hello@oilfieldwater.com. We will respond to you as soon as possible with a status update.

Sponsorship opportunities were all taken a month before the event. Event sponsors, speakers and attendees will engage with a full room of industry decision makers at this event. 

“On behalf of all registered attendees and our team here at Oilfield Water Connection, we express gratitude to the speakers and sponsors committed to making this event a success,” said Joseph Triepke, Managing Partner at Oilfield Water Connection. “The unique discussion we look forward to this Friday will illuminate opportunities in the rapidly evolving market structure of full-cycle oilfield water management.”

With so many repeat attendees and sponsors coming to a second consecutive sold-out event to hear a fresh set of speakers, Oilfield Water Connection has become the go-to platform for innovative, first-of-a-kind business and finance conferences for the full-cycle oilfield water management industry.

Attendees at this event will include managers, business development people, engineers, executives, entrepreneurs, and institutional investors. These professionals hail from E&P companies, water midstream firms, and various oilfield service and equipment providers as well as large investment houses and consulting and law firms. You can see the discussion agenda here.

The Oilfield Water Connection team looks forward to hosting the ~170 professionals registered for this event. Please stay tuned for an important announcement about our next event from the Oilfield Water Connection team at the Industry Update Conference this Friday.
