We have gathered top legal, water, and energy experts who will share their extensive experience and expertise with you. The program series will provide you with a solid foundation on technical aspects, legal frameworks, and potential regulations and controls involved when natural resources of vital importance to Colorado - water, oil and gas- cross paths.
The first program will provides you with an overview of the pertinent law and issues generated when the water, oil and gas industries interact; and will address water quality concerns and the purchasing of water from municipalities for hydraulic fracturing and drilling. The second program will focus on oil and gas water recycling and whether it should be mandated along with the legal implications of water reuse. The third program will explore the ins and outs of landowner/oil and gas company negotiations with a focus on water interests.
