Industry Infrastructure Issues

Increased oil and gas production presents ongoing challenges for transportation infrastructure because much of this increase is in areas with limited transportation, especially the Permian Basin. With production growth being directly tied to takeaway capacity, relief not expected until 2019 when new pipelines are expected to be built, and steel tariffs and quotas – what does all of this mean for the oil and gas industry now and in the near future? Join us for an active discussion that will address these important issues.
