Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of The Canadian Institute and my conference co-chairs I invite you to attend the 6th annual Shale Gas Symposium. Every year this event attracts North America’s leading producers, service companies, regulators and investors to discuss Canada’s shale gas potential and has become the premier event of its kind.
The revolutionary concept of hydrocarbon production from shale is without a doubt, the most exciting accomplishment of geosciences & petroleum engineering integration in the last several decades. This revolutionary concept is a bright chapter of innovation from the oil and gas industry that is providing the most needed commodity to the world: Energy.
Shale gas exploration and exploitation has come of age. The shale gas plays in North America have changed natural gas market dynamics for decades to come. The question is no longer where we are going to get the gas from for the future growth of North America; it is rather how the abundance of shale gas is affecting the way we produce, use and distribute this valuable natural resource.
Shale gas has the potential to change the landscape of North American supply in many ways over the coming years. It is also a tremendous resource with impressive productivity from the Barnett, Fayetteville, Woodford, Marcellus, Muskwa, Montney, and Haynesville shales.
However, there are many strategic challenges ahead, especially when considering the issues of geotechnical evaluation, drilling and completions techniques, logistical planning, and stakeholder concerns that must be addressed to ensure that shale gas realizes its great long-term potential.
The environmentally friendly natural gas market in North America is poised to be one of the great success stories of the oil and gas industry. This success has prompted the major oil and gas companies to participate in exploiting these resources. Their effort is spreading globally and there are serious indications of potential shale gas discoveries in Europe, Australia and elsewhere. Shale gas is going global!
I look forward to welcoming you in January in Calgary at what promises to be the year’s first must-attend shale gas event.
