HOUSTON, Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett; Caiman Energy Founder, Chairman and CEO Jack Lafield; and EnerVest Ltd. Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Mark Houser will join more than a dozen other industry leaders in addressing energy professionals at Hart Energy's 4thannual Marcellus-Utica Midstream conference, Jan. 29-31, at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh.

Gov. Corbett's remarks will detail operators' contributions toward the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's environmental and economic prosperity as they have developed and monetized the gas- and gas-liquids-rich treasure that underlies the state.

"Transferring Best Practices to the Utica" will be presented by Lafield. Caiman Energy II continues its Marcellus shale success in bringing the best practices of midstream infrastructure to the Utica shale play, and Lafield will discuss these activities and Caiman's outlook for additional supply and demand.

Houser will participate in the producer/shipper case study, "Collaboration in Action in the Utica." E&P and midstream cooperation is the backbone of today's prolific shale developments, and in this case study, Houser will show how high-level discussions among the players contribute to efficiency.
