ENSURING LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY

14:50 Long-Term Sustainability Of The Marcellus And Utica Water Management Eco-Systems

Long-term sustainability is at the forefront of people's thinking in the Northeast gas extraction business in 2022. How can operators ensure their long-term viability? How much water will be required if drilling slows down? And how can operators benefit from positive development side effects, such as the integration of the northeast gas industry with the promise of the future hydrogen economy?

AUDIENCE DISCUSSION ON REUSE OF PRODUCED WATER FOR HYDROGEN

16:00 Unlocking The Potential Of Produced Water Reuse To Help Develop The Hydrogen Economy In The North East

Closing the conference on a positive note. The development of the hydrogen economy will require massive volumes of water.  What are the options for upstream E&Ps to help the hydrogen sector deliver the volumes of water required to produce green hydrogen?

Could the development of the hydrogen economy, in the longer term, be one of the more significant opportunities for produced water beneficial reuse? And what volumes of water would be required for hydrogen production?
