HOUSTON, Aug. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Four master deal-makers, all leaders in the arts of acquisition and divestiture in oil and gas exploration and production markets, will share their insights into successful transactions in a unusual roundtable discussion during Hart Energy's 10th annual A&D Strategies and Opportunities conference. Hosted by Oil and Gas Investor magazine and A&D Watch newsletter, the conference is set for August 29-30 at The Ritz Carlton in Dallas, Texas.

The unique deal-maker's master panel will feature:
Ted Collins, Chairman & CEO, Collins & Ware Inc
Joe B. Foster, chairman, TPH Partners
Forrest Hoglund, Chairman & CEO, SeaOne Maritime Corp
Charles Stephenson, co-founder and chairman E&P Premier Natural Resources

These four masters of the E&P industry's A&D negotiations have shared a table before. At times, they've sat across from each other at the table, but never before have all four gathered at the table to share their sage perspectives.

These men are proven business-builders: Collins co-founded Collins & Ware; Foster founded Newfield Exploration; Hoglund served as chairman of EOG Resources; and Stephenson was a founder of two investment firms and Vintage Petroleum Corp., where he served as chairman, president and CEO.
