Permian Basin Water In Energy Conference, Year Three Presenting Sponsor Confirmed As NGL Water Solutions, LLC, An NGL Energy Partners LP Company
MIDLAND, Texas, May 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The third annual Permian Basin Water In Energy Conference (PBWIEC.com) will run from February 18, 2020 through February 21, 2020 and is thrilled to confirm its Presenting Sponsor as NGL Water Solutions, LLC, an NGL Energy Partners LP company.
PBWIEC is Unique and Critically Important
"PBWIEC is unique and critically important because it is a collaborative academic and industry-related event that looks at real and potential water in energy impacts and considers future solutions regarding how to best conserve, use and manage our precious water resources," Jonna Smoot, PBWIEC – Event Chair and Advisory Board Member said. "PBWIEC is looking forward to building on its past success to provide an even more developed, informative and engaging Year Three Conference in 2020."
Continuing Education Credit Hours
In addition to continuing to offer Ethics Education Credit hours to Conference attendees, one of the areas PBWIEC is examining to enhance the Year Three PBWIEC is the potential for making Continuing Education Credit hours available to participants.
PBWIEC's Inception
"The idea of starting this particular conference flowed from the UT Permian Basin Business Advisory Board who felt they needed to be and could be more involved with discussing and solving current and pressing Permian Basin issues. The need for water in the oil and gas industry is huge and the impacts of our usage will be felt for years to come if we do not begin to understand and better manage this resource," said Jim Woodcock, one of PBWIEC's founding board members and Conference Chair. "Just look at the number of wells that are slated to be drilled here. With so much of the world's oil drilling activity occurring in the Permian Basin, we couldn't sit by and not begin exploring ways to find solutions regarding how to best use and manage water in energy for the future of Texas and our nation."
Year Two PBWIEC
Year One's PBWIEC sold out and had attendees from as far away as Japan attend. The Year Two PBWIEC featured experts from across the country representing all aspects of the oil and gas industry, from land owners to seismologists, to speakers from the legal and regulatory side for both New Mexico and Texas. Year Two speakers included more than 44 business leaders, landowners, oilfield operators, policymakers, researchers and academic leaders discussing best‐practices, issues and solutions that support water usage and conservation in the energy industry to PBWIEC's over 500 registered attendees.
NGL Water Solutions, LLC as PBWIEC's Presenting Sponsor is a natural fit
"Having NGL Water Solutions, LLC as PBWIEC's Presenting Sponsor for the Year Three Conference is a natural fit," concluded Smoot. "Because of NGL's cutting-edge expertise and dedication to addressing the current and future water in energy impacts the oil patch is facing, PBWIEC is proud to be able to begin our Year Three advertising by featuring NGL Water Solutions, LLC as our Presenting Sponsor, which will help spotlight both PBWIEC and NGL's water in energy initiatives."
