Join us for breakfast on April 8th where McDaniel & Associates will provide us with insights on the re-emergence of waterflood applications and the deployment of multi-lateral drilling across the WCSB.

In a world where energy security is now a headline item this conversation will touch on the realities of US supply potential and where Canada fits into the equation of what is achievable in the US vs. what appears to be overstated.
