American Petrochemical Renaissance: A Midstream and NGL Perspective

You have probably heard or read about the potential for a petrochemical renaissance in the United States due to the American Shale Revolution. As you know, however, the petrochemical renaissance can only happen if there are abundant NGLs and the infrastructure necessary to take natural resources from the wellhead, convert them into useful feedstocks and deliver them to petrochemical facilities in a consistent, predictable manner. Come hear from two top experts who will discuss the status of and plans for NGL development and midstream infrastructure at the most prominent shale plays in the U.S. There will be plenty of time devoted to audience Q&A.
