DESCRIPTION

Today, approximately 350 million cubic feet of natural gas is being flared in the Bakken everyday ; equating to 30% of production and an astounding $100 million worth of burned gas each month. This is the result of the staggering monthly increase in gas production in the Bakken which continues to outpace infrastructure capacity. With NDIC's regulations beginning to take effect as of July 1, 2014, calling for operators to reduce flaring rates to 26% by October 1, 2014, Bakken gas producers are being prompted to actively seek the most economical solutions for natural gas capture, recovery and use to distinguish effective methods for meeting flaring targets while generating new income streams. Furthermore, there is an increasing need to improve landowner relations and expedite the provision of right of way, calling for further collaboration between producers, gas gatherers and regulators. In the wake of these new flaring regulations and the context of constrained gas gathering capacity, it is critical that E&Ps focus on identifying the latest alternative solutions for natural gas capture and recovery, as well as collaborating with gas gatherers and regulators to expedite gathering infrastructure expansion. For this reason, the critically timed Bakken Flaring Alternatives & Gas Capture 2014 Initiative has been purposely designed to provide delegates and speakers with a chance to compare the most advanced case studies and deliver updates on: POWER GENERATION E&P AND THIRD PARTY GAS GATHERING INFRASTRUCTURE NORTH DAKOTA FLARING REGULATIONS LAND OWNER RELATIONS & RIGHT OF WAY VAPOR RECOVERY UNITS COMPRESSION & LIQUEFACTION REFRIGERATIONS & JT SKIDS FLARE MONITORING & REPORTING

With NDIC’s regulations beginning to take effect as of July 1, 2014, calling for operators to reduce flaring rates to 26% by October 1, 2014, Bakken gas producers are being prompted to actively seek the most economical solutions for natural gas capture, recovery and use to distinguish effective methods for meeting flaring targets while generating new income streams. Furthermore, there is an increasing need to improve landowner relations and expedite the provision of right of way, calling for further collaboration between producers, gas gatherers and regulators.

In the wake of these new flaring regulations and the context of constrained gas gathering capacity, it is critical that E&Ps focus on identifying the latest alternative solutions for natural gas capture and recovery, as well as collaborating with gas gatherers and regulators to expedite gathering infrastructure expansion.

For this reason, the critically timed Bakken Flaring Alternatives & Gas Capture 2014 Initiative has been purposely designed to provide delegates and speakers with a chance to compare the most advanced case studies and deliver updates on:

• POWER GENERATION FACILITIES

• E&P AND THIRD PARTY GAS GATHERING INFRASTRUCTURE

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTENDThe Bakken Flaring Alternatives & Gas Capture 2014 Initiative has been designed with one mission, and that is to deliver practical lessons from one of North America’s most regulated flaring environments, for application in shale plays across the country. Below is a summary of what the congress will provide:

• THE FIRST OPERATOR LED BAKKEN-SPECIFIC FLARING CONGRESS

• RESULTS BASED CASE STUDIES

• DRAWING BEST PRACTICES FROM NORTH DAKOTA
