DESCRIPTION

The advancements in hydraulic fracturing and completions technologies have revolutionized the North American oil & gas industry, dramatically increasing the number of newly exploitable prospects. Since 2008, tight-oil production in America has soared from 600,000 to 3.5 million barrels per day and operators are constantly looking for the next hottest play that has the potential to significantly add to the North American production profile. It is absolutely critical for E&P operators to identify exciting new prospects as early in the development phase as possible, to benefit from leasing the most producible portions of land at lower acreage costs. However, with limits to the amount of plays any company can pilot, what is needed is a platform for producers to share the most up to date geological and initial production data, to enable a comprehensive evaluation of the realistic available prospects that can be capitalized on. The Emerging Shale Plays USA 2014 Congress will return to Houston on May 28-29, held at The Omni Houston Hotel to deliver the latest core analysis data and production results to identify key geochemical, petrophysical and geostructural production drivers in the hottest emerging US shale plays. The mission of the event is to bring light to North America's most talked about but least publicized plays and answer some of the biggest questions the industry has with regards to whether these plays are going to be commercially viable in the long run.

First Mover Shale Plays, Early Development Plays, Plays On The Brink Of CommercialityThe advancements in hydraulic fracturing and completions technologies have revolutionized

the North American oil & gas industry, dramatically increasing the number of newly exploitable prospects. Since 2008, tight-oil production in America has soared from 600,000 to 3.5 million barrels per day and operators are constantly looking for the next hottest play that has the potential to add significantly to the North American production profile.

It is absolutely critical for E&P operators to identify exciting new prospects as early in the development phase as possible, to benefit from leasing the most producible portions of land at lower acreage costs. However, with limits to the amount of plays any company can pilot, what is needed is a platform for producers to share the most up-to-date geological and initial production data, to enable a comprehensive evaluation of the realistic available prospects that can be capitalized on.

The Emerging Shale Plays USA 2014 congress will return to Houston on May 28-29, to deliver the latest core analysis data and production results to identify key geochemical, petrophysical and geostructural production drivers in the hottest emerging US shale plays. The mission of the event is to bring to light North America’s most talked about but least publicized plays, and answer some of the biggest questions the industry has with regards to whether these plays are going to be commercially viable in the long run.

• E&P-LED: It is the only E&P-led congress focusing exclusively on emerging shale plays across the US.

• ELKO, PILOT, GALLUP, BUDA & LEWIS SHALE PLAYS: The only congress bringing attention to relatively unknown emerging shale plays like the Elko, the Pilot Shale, the Gallup or the Buda. It will be the first time these plays are discussed in an industry-led, world-class forum.

• PLAY SELECTION: This is the only congress to compare and contrast such a broad range and unique set of plays side-by-side, under one roof and examine the key criteria used to determine entry into one emerging play over another.

• LATEST GEOLOGICAL & PRODUCTION UPDATES: We are involving operators currently working on the frontline of these plays who will deliver the most up-to-date geological and production data based on recent activity.
