Marcellus-Utica Shale E&P Operator Majority To Speak At Appalachian Shale Water Conference In July

Oilfield Water Connection, the premier executive event series for U.S. oilfield water management, is pleased to report strong industry involvement in a new event coming to the Marcellus / Utica shale water market. The first Marcellus Shale Water Business Update conference will be held July 29th at the Pittsburgh Westin. Online registration is now open here.

This July in Pittsburgh, the majority of northeastern shale gas producers as measured by well completions activity will share their views on water. Specifically, E&P operator representatives from top producers that together comprise more than half of the total active frac crews working in the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale plays will take the stage to discuss their latest thoughts and efforts in full-cycle shale water management. Some of the E&P companies that will have delegates at the event include: EQT, Range Resources, Chesapeake, Southwestern Energy, Coterra, Gulfport, Repsol, and more…

These E&P speakers will be accompanied on stage by highly respected speakers from midstream, service, transportation, advisory, and data firms rounding out a tremendous agenda and learning / networking opportunity.
 
In addition to the excellent speaker lineup, some of the most highly respected firms in the Marcellus Shale / Utica Shale water business have joined the event as sponsors including: Gemini Shale Solutions, Energy Water Solutions, Keystone Clearwater Solutions, CORE Linepipe, DHI, CDX Energy Services, and CSR Services. Media partners and supporting organizations include Marcellus Drilling News, Shale Directories, and MUG.
 
 
Oilfield Water Connection is excited to bring our conference platform, which has facilitated the produced water business discussion in Texas oilfield for years, to Pittsburgh for the first time this July. “The industry’s initial response to the first Oilfield Water Markets Conference in Appalachia has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Joseph Triepke and Pete Cook, the conference organizers. “We look forward to bringing the shale water management community together for an event unlike any other the market has experienced.”

This event will be held on July 29, 2022 from 9am to 6:30pm with a cutting edge agenda and plenty of networking opportunities (including an open-bar reception at the end of the day) at the Pittsburgh Westin Hotel.

Conference goers also have the option of joining an industry outing to the Pirates-Phillies baseball game the evening before (7/28/22), where we’ve reserved a block of seats at PNC Park in the first ten rows of the second level (a great view for an exciting in-state rivalry game). Our baseball passes include drinks and food and attendees will have access to the bars, restaurants, pool tables, couches, and networking spaces on the Club level. Spouses are welcome at the game, and can be added during online registration.

At the main event (7/29/22), attendees will network with other industry leaders, peers, and customers while hearing from analysts and thought leaders about all the topics important to the business of water management in the Marcellus Shale / Utica Shale plays. A topic outline has been posted to the website and more speakers will be announced soon, so stay tuned. The conference will provide oilfield water market customers, suppliers, and investors with direct access to market intelligence and decision makers in a way no other event on the calendar can offer.

  

Please plan to join your peers at the iconic and conveniently located Westin Pittsburgh hotel in the Steel City in July for the Marcellus Shale Water Business Update.
