Unconventional hydrocarbons are looking to play a very significant role in meeting shortfalls in the predicted future global oil demand. The new investment opportunities and technological breakthroughs are now allowing companies to extract value out of reservoirs previously seen as unfeasible and economically unviable. SMi’s 2nd annual Unconventional Oil conference will bring together project developers, financiers and leading industry experts to provide you an insight into the opportunities and examine challenges for the development of Heavy Oil, Oil Shale and Oil Sands.

Why should you attend this event?

• Understand key strategies to maximise the potential of your Unconventional Oil reservoirs

• Analyse the global market dynamics to spot best opportunities for your business

• Assess the economics of non-conventional projects and the impact of the current financial climate
