Come network and learn more about environmental issues and solutions in exploration, production, refining & distribution of petroleum at the 22nd International Petroleum Environmental Conference (IPEC) on November 17-19, 2015 in Denver, Colorado at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. This conference is being endorsed by the DEG.
The Division of Environmental Geosciences has endorsed the 22nd International Petroleum Environmental Conference (IPEC) to be held November 17-19 in Denver.
This year's conference will focus on "Water Management Issues", "Soil, Surface Water and Groundwater Remediation", & "Advanced Environmental Diagnostics" and be held at the luxurious Grand Hyatt Hotel downtown Denver.
The IPEC approached Doug Wyatt, past-president of DEG, for an endorsement. DEG leadership reviewed their goals, the sponsoring organizations (academic), funding, and concluded IPEC’s goals were aligned with the DEG goals – improving the science of oil and gas environmental improvements.
According to Jeff Aldrich, DEG President 2015-16, “We are not funding nor sponsoring – just an endorsement ... and a good event to consider.”
