Host and moderator: TBA

Join us at the Four Seasons Hotel as Russell Porter will update us on Gastar’s recent transformation. From a company with 100% natural gas production in 2010, to one receiving over 70% of its revenues from liquids and with a solid portfolio which creates one of the most attractive oil and gas investment opportunities in the US. A change driven by management vision, disciplined leasing, opportunistic property acquisitions and operational execution. Mr. Porter will review the latest events around Gastar’s position in Appalachia, both within the core Marcellus and its top notch rocks of the Utica / Point Pleasant formations. He will also fill us in on one of most interesting organic growth stories in the MidContinent targeting the Hunton Limestone. A formation that together with the Woodford Shale and the Meramec (what operators are calling the Stack Play), is currently receiving a renewed focus due to its strong, liquids-driven results.

We welcome you to join us for this informative discussion as well as the fellowship and networking of the popular Social Hour at 5:00 pm.
