OVER 25 SENIOR INDUSTRY SPEAKERS INCLUDING
Marcellus & Utica - NGL & Shale Gas Infrastructure Summit 2012
As the pace of Marcellus and Utica shale gas production proliferates, pressure on midstream and takeaway capacity has come to a peak. Limited processing, fractionation and transportation capacities combined with tightening permitting regulations in multiple jurisdictions mean there is an increasing urgency on operators to invest in infrastructure for taking high-btu gas with strong liquid yields to market.
The mission of the Marcellus & Utica - NGL & Shale Gas Infrastructure Summit 2012 is to once again bring together E&P and Midstream companies operating in both dry and wet areas with federal and state regulators to figure out which NGL and shale gas takeaway proposals are going forward. Over two days, executive decision makers from these leading opertaors will be establishing potential end-user markets in the near future, further driving investments with the means to increasing profitability in these impressive North East energy assets. This year, the congress will, for the first time, focus on infrastructure investments both in the Marcellus and in rapidly expanding Utica plays and examine the impact of the Utica on Marcellus shale infrastructure and how competition for midstream resources can affect takeaway capacity.
Day 1 will focus on finding the ethane solution by cost-effectively transporting ethane from the liquids-rich Marcellus area to Gulf Coast plants and the northern tier petrochemical market of Chicago and Sarnia, Ontario. Expert speakers will then present on NGL and gas processing and plans to expand inter and intrastate pipelines to increase takeaway capacity. Finally the intricacies of current and future regulations will be explored to evaluate the impacts on takeaway capacity, timing and costs of infrastructure projects.
Day 2 will start by identifying new market access opportunities and the most-cost effective options for moving high-gas volumes from the Marcellus-Utica to new NGL markets. Operators will then evaluate how projected volumes can be used to mitigate commercial risk and economically support midstream investments. Finally, speakers in the afternoon will examine the impacts the Utica will have on Marcellus shale infrastructure and provide practical solutions on how to commercially take full advantage of both plays.
The event will feature leading industry figureheads from:
- E&Ps, Midstream and Transmission companies from areas throughout the Marcellus and the Utica
- Government Regulators, particularly those working within permitting
- Industry End-Users of Marcellus and Utica products, including plastics and Petrochemical companies

LEARNING BENEFITS
As the volume of production from Marcellus and the Utica plays continues to grow…
…the need for both rapid infrastructure build-out and new market access is becoming increasingly pertinent. It is now essential that leading E&P and midstream companies meet, exchange ideas and discuss strategic, technical and regulatory issues to identify practical solutions for driving forward infrastructure development from gathering to processing, storage and pipeline takeaway capacity.
To learn more about new market opportunities, local supply and demand and the sustainability of production and pricing, North America’s leading E&P and midstream operators will be meeting at the Marcellus & Utica - NGL & Shale Gas Infrastructure Summit 2012 in Canonsburg, PA on May 30-31, 2012 to discuss the key opportunities for driving infrastructure investments and maximizing NGL and shale gas profitability in the Marcellus and Utica.
This event is the 2nd in the sell-out Marcellus NGL and Shale Gas Infrastructure Series that has been attended by delegates and speakers from almost every major North American unconventional operator.
Learning points will include:
- ETHANE SOLUTIONS: Evaluating which ethane pipeline and takeaway proposals are going forward to establish potential end-user ethane markets in the near future
- TAKEAWAY CAPACITY: Hearing the latest plans from transmission companies on how they plan to expand inter and intrastate pipelines and increase takeaway capacity
- REGULATIONS & PERMITTING: Understanding the intricacies of federal and state regulations and jurisdictions to evaluate the various impacts and constraints on the timing and costs of pipeline construction projects
- NEW MARKET OPPORTUNITIES: Evaluating new market costs and opportunities to scope out higher demand areas and increase net-back
- UTICA: Examining the latest infrastructure development plans in the Utica and forecasting how its growth could increase pressure on North East midstream services
