Oil Patch Bits: Check out Petroleum News’ Alaska booth at NAPE

Petroleum News will have a booth at the annual NAPE Summit, Feb. 10-12, said publisher and executive editor, Kay Cashman.

“NAPE - short for North American Prospect Expo - is the largest networking event in the world for oil company landmen and executives who want to acquire, or sell, oil and gas properties or leases,” she said.

The three-day event, expected to have about 17,000 attendees, will be held in Houston, Texas, at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Petroleum News’ booth is No. 1665, which is in the northwest section of the exhibit hall, next to Wave Petroleum.

In addition to issues of Petroleum News, a weekly newspaper based in Anchorage, the booth will display annual magazines from Petroleum News and literature and maps from the state of Alaska’s Division of Oil and Gas, Cashman said.

Altogether, NAPE encompasses 14.66 acres of exhibition space for deal making, vendors and other attendees. The event, which will have about 1,000 product and service vendors, hosts two prospect theaters - one for domestic prospects and the second for international prospects - that will concurrently run a full day of prospect presentations.

The day before the exhibit opens NAPE holds a business conference, inviting leading executives, experts and speakers to examine E&P trends, legislative and regulatory challenges, technical advances and other topics of interest to the oil and gas industry.
