World Shale Gas 2010 Conference To Take Place in Texas
The World Shale Gas Conference & Exhibition is this year’s most expected event for the development of shale gas plays in North America and around the world and will take place in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas from November 3 to November 5, 2010.
Co-organized by the International Gas Union (IGU) and the American Gas Association (AGA), and with the full support of an industry-led steering committee, World Shale Gas is the only platform bringing together the companies and organizations that will shape the future of the shale gas industry and make it a reality world-wide.
World Shale Gas is an international conference and exhibition where resource holders, governments, state companies and regulators throughout the world can meet all key enablers – from the independent gas operators that have been leading the US shale gas industry for the past 10 years, to investors, geophysical, service, engineering, construction, consulting and risk management companies.
Together they will discuss the challenges and opportunities in the shale gas industry, and the vital elements of its development around the globe: latest technologies, new resource plays, best practice, cost control, financing, regulation, the environment, and its impact on the gas market.
Key speakers will include Dr Datuk Abdul Rahim Hashim, President of the International Gas Union and Torstein Indrebø, Secretary General of the International Gas Union.
Among others, the conference will represent the following groups:
* NOCs, governments and ministries of petroleum and mineral resources keen to develop their plays
* Regulatory and environmental bodies
* Independent gas producers that have been leading the North American shale gas industry for the past 10 years
* New IOCs entering the market
* International and national associations of gas producers, engineers and suppliers
* Service and Technology providers: geophysical, drilling and completions, hydraulic fracturing, pumping, reservoir optimisation and wastewater treatment, amongst others
* Consulting and risk management firms
* Investors, banks and investment firms
“The success in the USA can be applied to the rest of the world, and is already revolutionizing the market,” says the Conference’s website. “To do so, technologies, best practice and knowledge sharing are vital and must evolve to meet specific, local challenges, and keep development costs under control.”
