LEARNING BENEFITS

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
