- 5th Annual
Marcellus Shale Water
BUSINESS UPDATE
- October 20, 2026 | Pittsburgh, PA
Over 125 industry leaders are expected to gather at the 5th Annual Marcellus Shale Water Business Update in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, October 20th to explore the latest trends that are shaping the Appalachian produced water sector. Attendees will learn from experts about commercialization, business risks, operations, and capital allocation, while networking with top E&P, midstream, and water service professionals.
Extend-the-Networking Opportunity
Another energy event is being held in the same venue right after this conference! The Marcellus Power Conference is happening October 21-22 – attend both to extend your networking with regional gas producers, power consumers and power producers. Come for water and stay to explore new horizons! To learn more about The Marcellus Power Conference, and register for it too, click here. If you would like to sponsor both (bring one booth and reach two audiences), we’d be happy to talk about a package – email pete@oilfieldwaterconnection.com to learn more.

Swing Into Networking: OCT 20 - 4 to 7 PM
Closeout the conference by joining us for an afternoon of golf, games, and great company at Five Iron Golf, just 10 minutes away from the convention center.
Step up to a TrackMan golf simulator for a round of urban indoor golf, or challenge your colleagues to ping-pong, shuffleboard, or billiards. Whether you’re closing deals or just closing out a friendly rivalry, this is networking the way it should be: relaxed, social, and a little competitive.
And the best part? It’s all included with your conference registration thanks to our sponsor Keystone Clearwater Solutions. Enjoy food and a full open bar throughout the event.
Just let us know you are planning to attend when checking out to ensure your spot-this is first come first serve for the first 50 conference registrants who opt in during registration!
