HOUSTON, Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- With 1,200+ Tcf(e) of natural gas in place, the prolific Marcellus and Utica region is establishing its role as a world-class resource, reshaping the energy industry. Themed "New Connections," Hart Energy's 2017 Marcellus-Utica Midstream Conference and Exhibition offers attendees in-depth content focused on what's working now for midstream operators and upstream producers in the Appalachian basin. The conference takes place January 24-26 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

"We've been investing very heavily for the last five years in the Northeast, getting a premier position in the Marcellus and the Utica," said Alan Armstrong, President and CEO of Williams Cos in a recent interview. During his keynote session at the upcoming Marcellus-Utica Midstream conference, entitled "The Markets Evolve," Armstrong will convey his vision for future developments.

"Speakers at the 8th annual Marcellus-Utica Midstream Conference and Exhibition, which include midstream operators, upstream producers and service company executives, will share their operational experiences and their outlook for business activity in the region," said Paul Hart, editor-in-chief, Midstream Business. "Most importantly, they will describe how their companies succeed in these challenging times."

New demand for natural gas and NGLs, and midstream infrastructure to carry these commodities to end users, is growing. Vast new markets can be tapped as LNG export facilities like Dominion's Cove Point, Maryland, terminal come online and as multi-national companies like Shell build massive ethane crackers to serve clients around the world. The Marcellus-Utica Conference and Exhibition has an impressive lineup of influential industry speakers to address all these activities.
