2 The importance of water management has never been as significant as it is today. Industry has moved away from viewing water as a mere byproduct of daily operations towards understanding how valuable the management of this resource is to bottom lines, the environment and the sustainability of the oil and gas sector. As the restrictions of government regulations and policies have heightened, so have the stakes for compliance and finding cost effective solutions to water challenges. Now is the time to implement efficient and proactive strategies to reduce operational costs and environmental impacts in your water management practices. At CI Energy Group s Oil & Gas Water Management Strategies conference you will explore cost effective practices and innovative technologies to improve your water management strategies while networking with top industry experts to hear how other organizations have overcome their water management challenges. Attend this two-day information-packed event and walk away with a revived understanding of: Legal and regulatory issues impacting licensing, water usage and disposal Reducing & reusing water through joint ventures and cross sector opportunities Cutting-edge technologies to treat and reduce water usage & improve your bottom line Water management issues and practices for oil operations Mitigating the environmental impacts of waste water disposal processes and methods Managing produced water treatment solutions for SAGD Productions You cannot afford to miss out!
