WATFORD CITY, ND – (May 10, 2018) – BBI International announced this week the agenda for the annual Bakken Conference & Expo, North Dakota’s largest shale oil event produced by North American Shale magazine. For the first time in Bakken history, a major shale oil- and gas-themed event will take place in the middle of the world’s second largest shale oil play. Taking place July 16-18 in Watford City, North Dakota, the 2018 agenda – featuring the latest innovations and developments in shale oil extraction -- is tightly focused on cutting-edge technological developments, global impacts and new this year, regional input, in the shale oil and gas industry, from showcasing efficiencies in oil and gas recovery to fully dissecting the current status of the Bakken job market, as well as the latest changes in government policy. “The diversity of speakers we’ve assembled will provide attendees with a full overview of what is currently happening in the Bakken,” says John Nelson, director of marketing and sales at BBI International. “We also have a pre-conference event titled, The Bakken In the Global Gas Marketplace, which will help attendees better understand the current global trends and opportunities available in the gas recovery market.”

The 2018 program will provide new and never heard before in-depth analysis and timely presentations from 60-plus speakers focused on the following:

  • exploration and production trends
  • infrastructure and construction updates
  • logistical challenges
  • investor perspective
  • new product and technology offerings

“With the Bakken and Three Forks plays amid an impressive rebound, our goal this year was to provide input from both national- and regional-level experts that work or live in the heart of the play,” says Luke Geiver, program director of The Bakken Conference & Expo and editor of North American Shale magazine. “Providing content that reveals the major technical, global or even regional storylines this year will bring a new and unprecedented value to anyone invested in the Bakken.”
