Global Spotlight Shines On Emerging Shale Plays
Last year’s Unconventional Resources Technology Conference (URTeC) was like a full-length feature documentary on unconventional oil and gas plays.
This year, URTeC has added an enhanced preview of “Coming Attractions.”
In addition to looking at established plays, URTeC will provide significant information about emerging unconventional resource possibilities in North America and around the world.
URTeC is the oil and gas industry’s only integrated event for unconventional resources, sponsored by AAPG, the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG).
By design, each conference session includes geological, engineering and geophysical perspectives. URTeC aims to be the one unconventional resources event where key disciplines come together in an integrated environment.
Like last year’s inaugural meeting, URTeC 2014 will be held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, this year on Aug. 25-27.
The conference includes a full slate of oral presentations plus e-papers, interactive panel sessions, field trips and a total of 15 topical breakfast and luncheon sessions.
“Attendees with various levels of unconventional experience can attend. It attracts those that have expertise in unconventionals with its top-quality content,” said Jennifer Bell, chair of the ASME’s Petroleum Division and chief executive officer of Elements Offshore LLC in Houston. She will serve as co-chair for the URTeC session “Emerging Plays: Roadway from Ideas to Sweetspots.”
That’s just one of several sessions on emerging unconventional plays scheduled at URTeC 2014, including a panel session on developing international plays.
“It also attracts newcomers, as the event has a balanced depth and breadth in content as well as networking opportunities for engineers and scientists that they may not otherwise have,” she added.
