2 March Pittsburgh PA Shale Play Water Management, Marcellus & Utica Initiative 2013 in Pittsburgh, PA has changed and has now expanded it s focus to include more innovations on the latest technology, regulatory dialogue panels and the facilitation of E&P partnerships that will enable operators to take advantage of recycling, sourcing, transportation and storage economies of scale through collaboration. This is combined with technically detailed and brand new case studies on new water chemistry, scaling management and re-use technologies including crystallization to assess the best methods of recycling flowback. Day one will start by evaluating how using recycled flowback water during hydraulic fracturing impacts production results. Operators will then discuss case studies on how to re-use 100% of the flowback and produced water across the Marcellus and Utica based on water quality, chemistry, testing, scaling and corrosion prevention, and new treatment technologies including crystallization to deliver cost-effective and regulatory compliant solutions. Finally completions techniques for reducing the amount of water used to frac will be shared. Day two begins with a case study highlighting how operators have combined resources to minimize withdrawal, treatment, storage and recycling costs followed by a break out discussion that will enable idea development on future partnerships. The day then goes onto look at disposal, storage and transportation solutions that meet regulatory restrictions across Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. Finally water sourcing and spillage prevention are discussed to ensure water management operations remain environmentally safe.
