As the U.S. market becomes saturated with low-price shale gas, Oil & Gas E&P companies are increasingly focusing their resources on more lucrative liquid-rich shale plays including the Bakken, Niobrara and Eagle Ford in search of higher value tight oil deposits. Advances in hydraulic fracturing mean recovering tight oil from shale plays is becoming more and more economical and companies are rushing to acquire and exploit acerage in the formations where this oil is contained.

The Tight Oil From Shale Plays World Congress 2011 is the first conference to bring together senior decision-makers from the leading E&P companies in North America to share the cutting-edge geological and completions strategies, technologies and techniques that they are using to maximize the recovery of tight oil from shale plays.
