Dear Colleague, The Saskatchewan energy sector has continued to experience growth through 2011 with land sales and drilling activity continuing strong, with an expectation that it will remain strong through 2012 and beyond. With Saskatchewan's energy rich plays and continued interest in Saskatchewan resources, 2012 looks even more promising for the Province's oil and gas industry, with some predicting Saskatchewan's economic growth will lead the country. With this witnessed and forecasted growth comes opportunities and potential challenges for regulators, resource companies and industry. The resource opportunities in Saskatchewan are abundant. It is crucial to understand the oil and gas resources and the potential that both existing and future plays offer to maximizing the potential of these resources, and creating further value for Saskatchewan's energy sector and the province's economy. Insight Information has organized a comprehensive two-day event and assembled a select group of industry leaders and experts to present their views, experience and strategies on the current state and future of the Saskatchewan energy sector and to highlight what companies should know in order to participate and succeed in the current environment. Participants will hear from companies currently involved in exploring for, developing and transporting Saskatchewan's vast reserves. Attendees will hear about the potential for developing Saskatchewan's current and future plays through innovation, technology, and cooperation between industry players, and how further value can be created in the Saskatchewan oil and gas sector while benefits accrue to industry and the Province of Saskatchewan. Speakers will discuss Saskatchewan regulatory developments, hydraulic fracturing, business relationships with First Nations, and the need for transportation alternatives to meet the needs of industry players. Conference attendees will be given the opportunity to address their questions to the faculty during sessions and informally during breaks and lunches. Binders with conference materials submitted by the speakers will be a valuable addition to your business information resources. We invite you to join us at this major Saskatchewan Energy event. |
