TX RRC Chairman To Share Views On The Seismicity Regulatory Response During March 2022 Oilfield Water Markets Conference

The Oilfield Water Markets Conference (the premier executive event series in U.S. water midstream drawing over 350 senior professionals in 2021) will continue in its second year March 10-11, 2022 in Dallas. General attendance and sponsor opportunities are open for registration online now (link).

Oilfield Water Connection is pleased to announce that Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Wayne Christian will take the stage at our next event to address an extremely timely issue.
 
Chairman Christian will provide color on the RRC’s new water injection regulatory response to Permian seismicity during his Policy Keynote Talk at the conference on March 10, 2022.
 
“Recently, the Texas Railroad Commission has taken unprecedented steps to address water disposal in seismically active zones by curtailing installed injection capacity,” conference organizer Joseph Triepke stated. “These actions have significant implications for the water midstream and E&P business, and there is no one better than Chairman Christian to give our attendees insight on where this regulatory effort is headed next.”
 
Conference attendees will benefit greatly by hearing directly from Chairman Christian, who is at the center of the new regulation that everyone in the industry is talking about. Event participants can look forward to gaining a better understanding of the regulatory steps taken so far and what might be coming next during the Chairman’s Keynote address. Other sessions at the event will continue the discussion on seismicity implications, as well as explore other relevant angles in the business of full cycle shale water management.
