The three-day event will be keynoted by Continental Resources vice president of operations, Gary Gould, who will deliver an update on the unique projects underway and planned for one of the Bakken’s most prominent producers. Gould also has new perspective gleaned from his company’s internal research team on a nationwide issue: Lifting the U.S. crude export ban.

The Monday portion of the three-day event will focus on infrastructure issues important to the Bakken, including: rail, pipeline, water, gas processing, fleet transportation, power and commercial construction. The single-day seminar, “The Bakken’s Backbone also features never-before delivered presentations on the future economics of the Bakken. Before the opening ceremonies conclude on Monday evening, a special presentation titled, “Bakken Workforce Update,” will describe employment trends, challenges and opportunities for every entity tied to the Bakken.
“Our team has established an extensive and impressive lineup to kick-off the first day of the conference. The Bakken’s Backbone seminar will give attendees an overview on infrastructure needs and projects pertinent to the Bakken,” Geiver says. “We’re excited for our day to come full-circle with a panel of experts—including a joint presentation from Michael Ziesch of North Dakota Labor Market Information Center and Cindy Sanford of Job Service Customer Service Office in Williston, along with a major Bakken energy services firm—providing insight on the state of the Bakken workforce.”
