Registration Opens For “Oilfield Water Industry Update” Conference

On the heels of an oversubscribed inaugural event, Oilfield Water Connection is pleased to announce that registration is now open for our second 2019 event this fall.

The Oilfield Water Industry Update conference will convene October 4, 2019 in the Houston Petroleum Club.

Limited seats and sponsor opportunities are available for this one-day conference. Because our first event in June 2019 was completely sold out, interested parties are encouraged to register quickly in order to ensure a reservation.

“We are excited about the tremendous industry response to our first event. Our next gathering will go from strength to strength, providing oilfield water executives and investors with a forum to continue the business development and finance discussion,” said Joseph Triepke and Pete Cook, conference Co-Founders, in a joint statement. “The timing of our October 4th event coincides with the beginning of 2020 budget season. This means attendees will walk away with invaluable insight they can put to work in year-ahead business planning.”

The agenda is currently in the formative stages, but some of the issues thought leaders will address at this event include:

Presentations and panel discussions will include voices from leading operators (including the Majors), top analysts, water midstream companies and service providers.

Discussions are ongoing with exciting new speakers that aren’t typically accessible on the speaker circuit. Confirmed speakers at this early stage include Asad Ahmed (Chevron’s Category Manager Water Management & Logistics For The Permian) and Brent Halldorson (CTO for Fountain Quail an XRI company).
