Development of an unconventional resource play like the Haynesville Shale has one thing in common with other domestic shale plays, large amounts of water are needed for well stimulation. As the play exploded in northwest Louisiana, the gas industry encountered a public that was already aware of groundwater concerns. Gas operators, local government, state and federal regulators, and the general public are learning to deal with surface and groundwater issues as Haynesville development moves forward. · Workforce Development: Preparing For Careers in the Industry presented by Angela L. White, North Louisiana Economic Partnership Vice President, Workforce Marketing. Since the announcement of the Haynesville Shale discovery in early 2008, we’ve all heard the predictions of the tens of thousands of jobs to be created from development of this major gas find, but what are those jobs and what skills do you need to qualify for them? At this session gain knowledge of the types of jobs within this industry and the skills required to qualify for them, and hear about existing and upcoming training opportunities–both local and further afield—to make you a more competitive job candidate.
