NEW YORK, July 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CCG Investor Relations ("CCG"), a leading global investor relations and strategic communications consultancy, is pleased to announce the companies who will present their investment stories as part of the Shale Revolution Virtual Investment Conference to be held on Thursday, July 11, 2013.

The Shale Revolution: Virtual Investment Conference is organized by CCG Investor Relations and co-hosted by BetterInvesting, CNW- Canada Newswire and PR Newswire.  The event is designed for retail investors, institutional investors, financial advisors and family offices who want to gain a better understanding of how the rapid development of unconventional oil & gas resources has dramatically changed the American energy landscape.

The virtual conference is free for both retail and institutional investors to attend.  To register, please visit http://www.retailinvestorconferences.com/.

Crocker Coulson of CCG Investor Relations will interview Fadel Gheit, Managing Director & Senior Analyst at Oppenheimer & Co., on a panel on Shale Revolution Best Ideas: Top Picks in Upstream Energy from 12 noon to 1 p.m.

Fadel will provide his views on the critical elements to consider when selecting stocks in the unconventional oil & gas sector and will also discuss selected buy-rated stocks, including: Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Apache Corp., Chesapeake Energy Corporation, ConocoPhillips, Devon Energy Corporation, EOG Resources, Inc., Hess Corporation, Marathon Oil Corporation, Murphy Oil Corporation, Noble Energy, Inc., Occidental Petroleum Corporation, and Royal Dutch Shell.

The presenting schedule for the conference is as follows:

"Over the past four years American energy production has increased by 25% and the U.S. is on track to become a net energy exporter in the next few years. The development of unconventional oil & gas resources and hydrofracking and horizontal drilling technology has created a powerful tailwind for American industry, employment and balance of trade that is likely to be sustained for decades to come," said Crocker Coulson, President of CCG.

"This one day virtual conference will provide investors with an overview of key factors that are driving this transformation, insight as to how to translate these macro trends into actionable investment ideas, and direct exposure to the senior management of companies that are leading The Shale Revolution. We are very pleased with the line-up of presenting companies and I look forward to a very stimulating conversation with Fadel Gheit one of the smartest names on Wall Street currently covering the energy sector," concluded Coulson.
