MIDSTREAM Finance Conference Explores Capital Needs

HOUSTON, Aug. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- While takeaway capacity constricts Permian Basin and Marcellus oil and gas producers, companies like Exxon and Diamondback Energy are proving new ways to address midstream constraints.

    --  Long-term trends

    --  Export markets

"MIDSTREAM Finance's agenda focuses on the leading issues facing midstream financiers," said Paul Hart, conference host and midstream Editor-in-Chief for Midstream Business. "Our speaker line-up is set to cover something for everyone with midstream business interests."

In the opening keynote speech, Alerian's President & CEO Kenny Feng will discuss the "new world" of midstream finance. Feng will share his view on significant hurdles the midstream sector faces and promising solutions on the horizon.

Vaquero Midstream's Executive Vice President of Commercial & Corporate Development, Brian Best, will deliver the afternoon keynote speech titled, "The Financial View from the Executive Suite."
