Today, Oilfield Water Connection is pleased to announce that our annual Marcellus Shale Water Conference will return to Pittsburgh for a 3rd year serving the Appalachian produced water sector this August. Today, we officially launched the event website with more details. Registration is now open to sponsors and attendees. We want to thank multiple returning sponsors who have already joined including Keystone Clearwater Solutions, Babst Calland Attorneys At Law, and Core Linepipe. We are also very pleased to be partnering again with the Marcellus Logistics Group - an Appalachian E&P water managers council - to co-host their next meeting on site at the conference venue the day before. We'll also continue our tradition of the Pirates baseball game networking outing the evening before the conference, and free baseball tickets are included for the first 19 attendees to sign up!

Key quote from their 2/28 earnings press release: "2024 is an inflection year for Aris. The capital investment needed to support our infrastructure is substantially lower this year as the basin matures and operators temper their pace of development. With the Aris system more fully built out, we can better utilize its reach and capabilities, which in turn should increase free cash generation." Full year produced water volumes are forecasted to grow approximately 2 - 5%. Projected capex of $85 - $105mm is down 40% y/y, and includes $12 - $16mm of maintenance capex and potential capital for new business development.

We wanted to invite you to a special event (RSVP link below) that O’Melveny & Myers LLP is hosting at their new Dallas office in Uptown on Tuesday, March 19th starting at 6:00 PM. One of their attorneys – Buzz Thompson – is one of the foremost water experts in the world and teaches a class at Stanford University called the “Business of Water”. Buzz has written a book recently called Liquid Asset, talking about how water is becoming a more scarce commodity and a more valuable asset class and is opening up incredible investment opportunities in the United States. Buzz and Jason Schumacher will be having a discussion at the event about some of his findings in his book as well as other current topics swirling around the energy industry as it pertains to water...we hope you can join us there!
