Producers of CLEAN GULF Event to Launch Shale EnviroSafe Conference and Exhibition

HOUSTON--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--The producers of the CLEAN GULF Conference and Exhibition are launching the inaugural Shale EnviroSafe Conference and Exhibition at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, LA. Taking place November 14-15, 2012, Shale EnviroSafe will focus exclusively on the environmental, safety and health challenges faced by the oil and gas community at shale plays around the country.

“There is a vital need in the shale drilling and development community for an event where professionals can discuss environmental, safety and health issues related to hydraulic fracturing and collaborate with others on how to proactively identify solutions where needed”

As drilling technology advances, shale development and exploration will continue to increase throughout the U.S., yet the issues specific to the environment and safety concerns are still unfolding on both a State and Federal level. This is creating an urgent need for companies operating at the shale plays to focus on related issues including water treatment, air quality, worker safety, chemical use, and new regulations. Shale EnviroSafe serves as an industry friendly forum by bringing together the entire shale drilling and development community including operating companies, State and Federal Regulators, service companies, pipeline and storage companies, academia, and law firms to discuss shale environmental health and safety challenges /opportunities and explore viable solutions.

“There is a vital need in the shale drilling and development community for an event where professionals can discuss environmental, safety and health issues related to hydraulic fracturing and collaborate with others on how to proactively identify solutions where needed,” said Laura Couvillon, Show Director for Shale EnviroSafe. “We are utilizing the expertise and relationships we have built with the CLEAN GULF community over the past 20 years to bring together subject matter experts and service providers to collaborate with the shale community on the challenges they are facing – pending regulations, groundwater treatment, wastewater disposal and air quality control – to name a few.”

The Shale EnviroSafe conference program will cover topics such as:

• Effects of Hydraulic Fracturing on Aquifers and Surface Waters
• The 2012 Regulatory Environment-State and Federal updates
• Permitting
• Hydraulic Fracturing and Seismic Activity
• Water Treatment

To complement the two day conference program, Shale EnviroSafe has an Exhibit Floor where leading environmental and safety companies, as well as State and Federal Regulators focusing on shale drilling and development, will display their ES&H solutions. Shale EnviroSafe attendees will have the opportunity to visit with technical staff in each booth to discuss the products and technology on display.

Shale EnviroSafe also features numerous networking opportunities, including a keynote address, luncheons each day, and a Networking Reception the evening of Wednesday, November 14.

Shale EnviroSafe will be held November 14-15, 2012 at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, LA in conjunction with the CLEAN GULF Conference and Exhibition.
