Industry Update

The Houstonian | Houston, Texas

111 N Post Oak Ln, Houston, TX 77024

Please join us in Houston, Texas for the 7th Annual Oilfield Water Industry Update. This one-day event will showcase the latest business trends in full-cycle shale water management, while enabling face-to-face networking for executives and investors in one of Houston’s most prestigious venues – The Houstonian.

This distinguished fall conference delivers the first real look at the year-ahead in produced water management each year. As such, it is a great opportunity for industry leaders to position themselves ahead of the key themes (and in front of the key people) that will drive business in the upcoming year.

This event is designed to foster open, candid, productive dialog among industry leaders (and their partners); as such, it is closed to the press.
