CALGARY, AB — (Marketwire) — 08/04/11 — Infocast Events Canada will hold their premiere Canadian shale oil conference, at the Telus Convention Centre in Calgary, AB from September 12-14, 2011. This summit is perfectly timed as it coincides with an acceleration of activity in the Saskatchewan Bakken, Viking, Cardium and Alberta Bakken. Attendees will have a rare opportunity to network with key decision makers as they shape the future of Canadian Western shale.
The recent advances in horizontal drilling and completion strategies and high oil prices have made unconventional shale oil plays increasingly profitable. These factors have been instrumental in the surge of gas production in Western Canada–s high-profile shale formations that have achieved a status of financial viability for exploration and production companies. Thus far, this activity suggests that the Alberta Bakken could be North America–s next big oil play.
This Summit will bring together front-line players from and . Rene LaPrade, Senior Vice President of Operations at will provide a case study that discusses how to leverage success from the Bakken to the Cardium.
