INVITATION

Conference delegates will receive valuable insight and information in the areas of unconventional gas including: the first commercial Natural Gas from Coal (NGC) production in Canada, booking Canadian CBM reserves, shale gas and gas hydrate potential in Canada, new technologies for identifying and evaluating unconventional gas potential, and stakeholder issues.

Day 1 - October 22: Increased understanding of unconventional sources of natural gas other than NGC is the focus. Presentations on the potential of gas shales, gas hydrates, landfill gas, tight gas, and basin-centered gas will be covered on this day. Additional presentations on technologies critical to the identification and evaluation of unconventional gas sources will make this a not-to-be missed session for those interested in unconventional gas supply other than NGC.

Day 2 - October 23: The most recent developments in NGC in Canada are highlighted with topics covering the first commercial NGC gas projects in Canada to booking those newly identified NGC reserves. Four sessions will update you on the latest developments in two of the hottest NGC plays in Western Canada, new technology and operations case studies, and the latest valuation methodologies.

Day 3 - October 24: Full day Stakeholder Session is devoted to public policy and external stakeholder issues. Presentations will be made by community action groups, environmental groups, multi-stakeholder synergy groups, Alberta and B.C. government representatives and industry. This is a part of CSUG's ongoing effort to engage in open discussions of key issues, including landowner rights, surface impact, fresh water protection, and other issues associated with NGC development. All interested groups and individuals are encouraged to attend.
