Today, Oilfield Water Connection is pleased to announce that the May 18th keynote speaker will be Jim Wright, Commissioner at the Texas Railroad Commission. Mr. Wright has been a leading figure in the Commission’s efforts to promote sustainable produced water management and has recently helped shape the agency’s efforts to curb seismicity by initiating Seismic Response Areas (SRAs) and disposal curtailment in various active zones in both the Delaware Basin and the Midland Basin. 

Conference attendees can look forward to an update on the Commission’s recent regulatory steps being taken on disposal limitations and the results they are seeing, plus updates on what they are working on next. 

So far, more than 40 sponsors are participating in the conference and the exhibit hall will be full including an exhibit from the TX RRC which will give industry attendees a chance to engage in in-person dialog with regulators.

50+ speakers will take the stage, featuring C-level executives that run large oilfield water businesses as well as leading industry analysts, bankers, E&P water category managers, and produced water finance experts. The organizers expect this event to set a new record high attendance with close to 400 attendees expected this year. The seniority of the group is second-to-none, with high ranking decision makers comprising the majority of the delegate list.
