2 May 30-31, 2012 Canonsburg PA The new wave of upstream activity in the Marcellus and Utica has given way to a tremendous need for new midstream infrastructure that is capable of taking both NGLs and dry gas to market without damaging netback. The most pressing commercial issues such as ethane management, the ability to lay pipelines, the cost and time demands of the permitting process within multiple and duplicative jurisdictions and the immediate and long-term new market opportunities are critical to the commercial viability of the Marcellus and the Utica. This unique set of challenges must be addressed collectively by both E&P and Midstream companies to guarantee midstream, NGL fractionation capacity, transportation and marketing infrastructure to support producers aggressive drilling and development programs in the liquids-rich areas of the Marcellus and the Utica. Over two days, the Marcellus & Utica - NGL & Shale Gas Infrastructure Summit 2012 will bring together leading industry figureheads from E&P companies, midstream and transmission companies from areas throughout the Marcellus and the Utica, Government Regulators working on permitting and industry end-users of Marcellus and Utica products including plastics and petrochemical companies to learn about the plans in place for building out capacity from gathering, processing, storage to pipeline takeaway capacity to maximize shale gas and NGL profitability. BP Scott Rotruck was the best chair I ve witnessed in 40 years, including myself. Golder Associates High quality speakers very knowledgeable.
