LAST YEARS EXPERT SPEAKER LINE UP INCLUDED:
SHALE GAS WATER MANAGEMENT INITIATIVE 2011
FOURTH IN NORTH AMERICA’S SELL-OUT SHALE GAS WATER MANAGEMENT SERIES
In a highly competitive US shale gas market it is critically important for E&P companies to find efficient solutions to the most costly aspect of production; water for hydraulic fracturing. Due to scarcity of water resources as well as regulatory constraints and expensive treatment technologies, E&P companies must develop and implement innovative methods for re-use and adopt more localized and centralized water management systems.
Operators in Marcellus, Barnett, Haynesville, Eagle Ford, Fayetteville and other shales are now consistently seeking out new methods to effectively source, transport, dispose and re-use water for hydraulic fracturing to maximize the profitability of shale gas production and remain competitive in a fast-growing market.
The Shale Gas Water Management: 2011 Initiative will be bringing the most innovative shale gas operators to Dallas to critically examine the most cost-effective sourcing strategies,treatment techniques and disposal options in the states of Texas, Pennsylvania and Louisiana. Furthermore, senior thought leaders and technical experts from the most established shale gas companies will examine how to drive down the cost of transporting and storing produced water by using centralized impoundments or building temporary pipelines.
Lastly, legal frameworks concerning sourcing, transporting and disposing of produced water in Texas, Pennsylvania and Louisiana will be analyzed to comply with the changing regulations and reduce permitting timelines.
On day one, key industry experts from leading operators will examine best practices for water management that they have evaluated and adopted. They will examine available recycling technologies and explain the economics behind their decision to recycle all produced water or dispose of it. Disposal well availability and alternative methods of disposal such as surface discharge will also be evaluated both from regulatory and technical standpoints.
On day two, speakers will address sourcing issues and the future of water resources in the USA to decrease the overall demand for water and find alternative sources of water for hydraulic fracturing. Shale gas operators will determine the most cost-effective logistical strategies examining transportation methods and storage including advice on how to successfully construct, maintain and reclaim pits or impoundments and explain how to work efficiently within strict regulatory confinements of each state. Finally, industry leaders will focus on the groundwater contamination issue and how to minimize the risk of leaks and address growing community concerns as well as protect operators against possible legal claims.
The Shale Gas Water Management: 2011 Initiative is the most advanced and focused event concentrating wholly on delivering practical solutions to the key issues in shale gas water management to ensure operators implement the most cost-effective long-term strategies for sourcing, transporting, treating, re-using and disposing of flowback and produced water.

LEARNING BENEFITS FROM 2011
To adopt the most cost-effective water management system, shale gas operators must…
…look at every aspect of water management in detail assessing it from legal, economical and technical standpoints to achieve maximum return on investment.
To find these crucial answers, North America’s leading operators will be meeting at the Shale Gas Water Management: 2011 Initiative in Dallas to share technical and strategic advances in cost-effective sourcing, transporting, treating and disposing of water used for hydraulic fracturing in Marcellus, Barnett, Eagle Ford, Haynesville and other shale plays.
This event is the fourth in the sell-out series of Shale Gas Water Management events, following Shale Gas Water Management in Dallas in 2010, Marcellus Shale Gas Water Management 2011 and Canadian Shale Gas Water Management.
Speakers at this event will be focusing on successful techniques to cost-effectively deal with every aspect of water management including:
- TREATMENT TECHNIQUES: Utilizing recycling technologies for re-use and disposal in the most cost-effective way
- DISPOSAL : examining how availability of wells influences the choice of treatment strategy and what alternative methods of disposal are available for shale gas operators
- WATER SOURCING : reducing the amount of fresh water needed for hydraulic fracturing and replacing it with brine water or water from other industries
- INFRASTRUCTURE : creating a centralized system to reduce trucking traveling distance, cost and the environmental impact of shale gas production
- SOURCING, TRANSPORT AND DISPOSAL REGULATIONS: comparing regulatory frameworks in the states of Texas, Pennsylvania and Louisiana to comply with the strict regulations and resolve environmental concerns
