The continued evolution of technologies and their applications have unlocked the vast resources potential of unconventional reservoirs throughout North America. Once deemed to be uneconomic, these resource plays are now proving to be the primary focus for many exploration and production companies. Internationally, the industry continues to evaluate the economic potential of unconventional resources in geographic environments that have not seen development previously. As the North American and international development continues to expand, the industry finds itself working with a growing and diverse group of stakeholders, each with their own unique set of concerns and questions. This workshop is designed to exchange a wide range of perspectives, knowledge and concepts around environmental stewardship in upstream unconventional resource development. A diverse group of speakers and panelists have been carefully chosen to help broaden participants perspectives and create stimulating discussions.

Who We AreSPE is the largest individual member organization serving managers, engineers, scientists and other professionals worldwide in the upstream segment of the oil and gas industry.
