Australia’s oil and gas industry is on the cusp of remarkable growth. With an estimated 437 Tcf of unconventional gas resources (coal-seam, tight sands and shale) lying in wait, operators who have the technology and experience to produce it, and LNG-driven demand—Australia is poised to benefit from the next shale renaissance. This phenomenal industry growth brings both new opportunities and challenges.
That’s why hundreds of key stakeholders in Australia’s energy future are coming together at Hart Energy’s upcoming DUG Australia conference and exhibition, 26-28 August in Brisbane. Now in its second year, DUG Australia has emerged as the preeminent venue for serious discussions around the future of the country’s burgeoning oil and gas industry. “DUG” derives from Developing Unconventional Gas.
Australia’s top producers are set to discuss the latest in exploration and production:
- Colin Cruickshank, General Manager, Development and Technical Services, Santos
- Ian Davies, CEO and Managing Director, Senex Energy Ltd.
- Phil Thick, Managing Director, New Standard Energy Ltd.
- David Wrench, Managing Director, Strike Energy Ltd.
- Ray James, Managing Director, Icon Energy Ltd.
- Robbert de Weijer, CEO, Armour Energy Ltd.
Additional speakers will include Queensland’s minister for natural resources and mines, the executive director of energy resources in South Australia, and leaders of North America’s “shale boom.” Chief technical officers, executives and technology leaders from APPEA and leading engineering and geophysical services firms will provide added context.
An optional half-day workshop offers a deep dive into hydraulic fracturing technology as industry experts discuss effective completion design, proppants, micro-seismic applications and water use.
Oil and Gas Investor Australia editors will be onsite covering the entire event. DUG Australia is coming 26-28 August to the Royal International Convention Centre in Brisbane, QLD. For more information or to register to attend, please visit www.DUGAustralia.com.
