DISCUSSION TOPICS

Morning Session

What evaluation models currently exist for the shale depositional system, water requirements and production? Are there any new models on the horizon?

Increasing recovery through US - Canadian collaboration. With strong Canadian experience in Alberta with unconventional oils how is the collaboration working?

Water and Energy Management: What are current technologies that reduce inefficiencies in energy use and optimize water use and management?

Emerging Technologies - In Situ methods, Near Surface extraction, Surface Thermal Processes, Improved EOR, Upgrading

With most US unconventional oil resources on federal lands how are we best accessing those lands now? How do we get in the play? Is there more we can do?

Afternoon Session

Environmental concerns including Water Contamination, CO2 Emissions, Regional Impacts, Regulations, Compliance, Permitting

Energy and Environmental Costs - Can we improve on the ration of needing 1 barrel of oil to recover 3 barrels? How costly are Environmental Regulations?

Capital costs - Tax rates, Royalty rates, are there potential changes on the horizon? How might a new Washington administration effect Unconventional Oil production?

How sustainable is the commercial market with refineries at or near capacity now? Is there an Upstream and Downstream Disconnect?

What is the learning curve to improving efficiencies in the processes involved in developing Unconventional Oil? Can it be improved?
