Energy in an Evolving World: Sustainability, Reliability, Affordability – Continuing the Conversation

8:00AM to 5:30PM

While there is a push both within the US and Australia to increase energy output from renewable resources, there are no expectation that this will replace fossil fuels in near term. Australia and the US both have an abundance of Oil and Gas in the form of Oil Shale, Natural Gas deposits and Coal Seam Methane. The successful development of these deposits is heavily influenced by local government policies, economic viability, available project resources and ensuring that developments are conducted in an environmental responsible manner.

This Conference is designed to provide a forum for Oil and Gas operators and Industry Experts from Australia and the United States to discuss their varying perspectives and lessons learned on development of oil and gas reserves in the USA and Australia.

All conference delegates should come prepared with opinions and to participate in a full day of interactive discussions. Over 250 energy industry leaders, C-level executives, academics, and interested individuals are expected to attend the 2012 Conference.

Keynote and session speakers will include The Honorable Martin Ferguson, AM, MP, Minister for Resources and Energy; Minister for Tourism Australia (invited); and Senior Executives from Apache Corporation, BHP Billiton Petroleum, Chevron Corporation, ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil Corporation, just to name a few.

Discussions will focus on:

Environmentally responsible operations
Legal and project resource challenges
Energy policy
Oil and Gas developments
