Ward, the Oklahoma shale pioneer perhaps best known for teaming with Aubrey McClendon to develop Chesapeake Energy Corp., will discuss consolidation needs as the industry craves capital. He opines that as bad as things seem right now, the issues aren’t much different than when he started in the business more than 40 years ago.

Butkus offers advice on working through what he calls a “growth phase for the industry.” 

Rapp will unravel the issues and possible solutions behind the industry’s A&D dilemma.

Meanwhile, Kainz and Walker will give an inside look at the midstream market in the Midcontinent.

In the tradition of DUG Midcontinent, Miller, Williams and Matter will bring the operators perspective, while Jin offers a look at the basin from a technology and service sector point of view.
