Oilfield Water Weekly

There’s only one month left until the biggest produced water business conference of 2021!

Please take a minute to check out the agenda and conference website. We made a big speaker addition to the event this morning – WaterBridge Co-CEO and CFO Steven Jones will present Water Midstream Capital: The Case for a Premium Value in the morning hours of May 12.

This event has really come together tremendously – from B3 Insight’s pre-conference summit to the market-focused agenda and top tier speakers to the stellar sponsor group to the golf outing. You don’t want to miss this! Thank you to everyone who got in on early bird registration, sponsored the event, and accepted our invitations to join the “fireside chat” panels.

There is still time to join your peers if you haven’t registered yet. General admission is open, but the remaining passes are going quickly. And there are less than five exhibiting sponsorship opportunities left to reach the real decision makers of this sector…

Now here is this week’s water news…
