Event Description

This event was rescheduled from 9/17/08 (due to Hurricane Ike Recovery) and all registrants for the 9/17/08 event are now registered for this event.

Join the Business Development Study Group at the Four Seasons Hotel as we strap ourselves in to get an update on this rapidly accelerating shale play. Three veteran drivers will take us through their experiences and give us a glimpse of where this play may be heading next.

The popular format of a Business & Social Networking hour, with complimentary Hors D’ Oeuvres and a cash bar, followed by an hour-long program, will begin at 6:00 pm in the Mezzanine. [Please note the new time]

Since the official March debut of the Haynesville shale, there has been an ever-expanding number of increasingly large and numerous transactions as players scramble to position themselves to take advantage of this rapidly evolving East Texas/ North Louisiana shale play. What results are driving this activity? How have various players decided to play their cards – sell out; promoted partners, acquisitions, other?? What are the limits of the trend? What have been the biggest surprises so far?
