World shale energy day

CELEBRATING SHALE ENERGY AND THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT HAPPEN

Once a year, the shale energy industry comes together across the world to celebrate the transformative nature of organic-rich black shale and the array of amazing professionals who make it all possible. 

With open houses, meetings, webinars, online forums, show-and-tell, and networking events, World Shale Energy Day provides a rich immersion into the shale energy ecosystem.

  World Shale Energy Day is a global celebration of the prodigious quantities of energy entrapped in shale formations worldwide along with the resource recovery teams who have initiated one of the world’s greatest engineering accomplishments. 

While it's true that shale formations are not found in every country on the planet, there certainly are beneficiaries and supporters of shale energy resources worldwide. This initiative brings together those global advocates in a single one day celebration of unity of purpose.

 World Shale Energy Day aims to raise awareness of the contribution that shale has made and will make to our society and to celebrate the diverse range of people that plan, provision and execute shale energy recovery projects from large fields down to smaller regional plays.

The celebration is held on March 17th each year; a day associated with the first commercial hydraulic fracture process in 1949.
 

This is a "distributed event" with activities being organized by regional, national and international leaders. Individual open day organizers are encouraged to check back for event and celebration details.
