SMi's 3rd annual Unconventional Gas conference will be taking a practical look at unconventional gas production challenges, where the pressure is on to reduce costs and still deliver positive results. To make the most from the underlying commercial opportunities, companies must be agile in analysing their business needs and implement robust strategies to maximise the benefit from these resources. At the same time technologies and the supporting infrastructure have to be both efficient and economically viable to ensure success. Europe’s leading Unconventional Gas conference brings together industry experts and project operators to discuss the drivers, constraints and opportunities for non-conventional operations. Strategic examples and practical case studies will provide you with the know-how to succeed by being able to identify potential pitfalls and coming up with suitable solutions.

Why should you attend this event?

In summary, this unique 2 day conference will help you:

• Understand the key strategies required to fully utilise the potential of unconventional gases
• Improve your operations and still reduce operational costs with the use of effective front edge technologies
• Learn from fellow operators about successes and mistakes made in building unconventional gas reserves
• Develop project excellence within your teams by adopting best practices from leading industry expert
