UK Shale Gas 2016 is a unique opportunity for engineers to understand how they can contribute to the UK shale gas industry and support the future supply chain. The UK's energy crisis is slowly but surely getting worse and finding suitable solutions to it are at the forefront of the government's mind. The arguments for and against shale gas have expanded and now feed into the wider energy security and climate change debate. We know that the UK offers fruitful shale gas potential both in its resources and in its ability to keep the lights on and with the election of a government who coined shale gas as the 'silver bullet' to the energy crisis, investment and support is only going to continue to grow. Given that Amber Rudd is driving it forward, it is clear that shale gas is a suitable solution to ensuring that the UK can sustain its future energy consumption. UK Shale Gas 2016 is a must-attend event for engineers to discover how they can ensure their organisation is at the forefront of future energy consumption Attend this seminar to: • Identify how the UK shale gas industry is trying to change public perception • Recognise the continuous role that engineers play in shale gas extraction • Hear from industry leaders as they share their thoughts on how to progress shale gas development within the UK • Understand what the next steps are to ensure a well-supported supply chain is maintained in the UK • Network with industry peers and share a unique insight into future energy consumption Key speakers include: • Ken Cronin, Chief Executive, UK Onshore Oil Group • Donald Dobson, Head of Discipline- Well Engineering and Operations, Health and Safety Executive • Mike Stephenson, Director of Science and Technology and Chief Scientist, British Geological Survey Who should attend? • Engineering Manager • Senior Piping Manager • Managing Director • Well Services Director • Chief Engineer • Director of Operations • Director of Engineering • Process Engineer • Sector Manager Oil and Gas • Fracking Team Leader • Piping Engineer • Project Manager/Engineer • Pressure Relief Engineer
