Mitigate exploration risk and secure future positions through Farming-in/out of Unconventional Resources in Europe.

With uncertainty over the economics of development and possible environmental restraints it is a testing time for unconventional plays in Europe.

With gas now flowing from a well in Poland, and businesses throughout Europe exploring opportunities to create win-win partnerships, the interest levels are high but tempered by several unknowns. For both those involved and those considering the opportunities, many questions still remain. What is the real capital return potential for European unconventional plays? What exploration strategies are best suited for entering into European unconventional resources? Will recent earthquakes – attributed to fracking activities – result in restrictive regulations? And where does this leave us right now?

Partnering and Investment in Unconventional Resources: Europe is specifically designed to debate these questions and shed light on risk mitigation through farming-in (gaining a favourable position, and a good deal, while uncertainties remain) and farming-out (diversifying your exploration risk, securing additional resources and finance).

This meeting will bring together key players in European unconventional resources, alongside those considering their options, to network, debate the challenges and uncertainties and showcase successful exploration and risk diversification strategies. Attend and examine every factor affecting risk and profitability, including environmental and regulatory considerations, as well as techniques for overcoming the barriers to commercialisation of these projects.
