Energy Traffic Association/ETA Foundation
October 28 and 29,2008
Coming off of a very successful ETA Conference, we are honored once again to have a great slate of speakers discussing a timely and relevant topic. From trucking to Alaska and stringing pipe in Oklahoma to beach landings in West Africa and creating your own infrastructure on Shaklin Island, Frontier Logistics is a fact of life in the exploration, extraction and production of energy resources. The Energy Traffic Association’s Fall Conference sole focus is on the unique demands facing our logistics professionals when tasked with timely, predictable delivery of items when there is no “best practice” to rely on. Our journey begins with a general scope of work overview from the perspective of “The Client” with a discussion of the “constraints” facing all “Frontier Logistics” projects and how they go about defining and then addressing these logistics challenges. From the general to the specific, the rest of our presenters will give real life examples of successful (and sometimes not so successful) execution of the creative solutions needed to face the challenges of working in an area with limited or no infrastructure. Join us on our journey through the logistics of the energy sector!
