Don Hrap, president Lower 48, delivered a keynote address at the 24th Annual Williston Basin Petroleum Conference on May 25, 2016.
Hrap provided a historical context for the current industry downturn; detailed the prospects for a recovery; and took the audience through the industry’s response and the role states can play to foster pragmatic regulations moving forward.
The conference is the premier conference and expo focused on the Bakken shale play in the Williston Basin, which stretches across portions of eastern Montana, western North Dakota and Canada. Each year it brings together leaders in the petroleum industry to review the latest in innovative technologies for unconventional recovery, providing opportunities to learn from technical and regulatory experts, and receive updates on state and federal regulations.
