LLOYDMINSTER – Just three weeks from now, Lloydminster will be hosting its first heavy oil show since 2018. The event will take place Sept. 14-15, with a banquet on Sept. 13.
You see, there was supposed to be a show in 2020, but then a little thing called COVID-19 happened, and that put an end to that.
So it’s an opportunity for the industry in northwest Saskatchewan to get back together again, in person, break bread at some meals, talk shop in the trade show, and get back to finding the best way to produce heavy oil.
Roger Deeks, president of the Lloydminster Oilfield Technical Society, said on the Tuesday night banquet they have Rob Morgan, CEO of Strathcona Resources, as the keynote speaker.
David Yager, a columnist with Pipeline Online and the Canadian Energy Centre, will be doing a fireside chat with Morgan. There will be greetings from the Saskatchewan and Alberta governments as well.
Things kick off in a big way on Wednesday, Sept. 14, with the Oil Sands Pathways breakfast. Rhona Delfrari from Cenovus will be doing an. She will also be doing another presentation at industry update then lunch time with Saskatchewan Minister of Energy and Resources Jim Reiter and a representative of the Alberta government.
“The show opens at 9 a.m. on Wednesday,” Deeks said. The show closes at 5 p.m., followed by the ChampionX Shrimp Boil.
Doors reopen at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 15 and close at 4 p.m.
There are not entrance fees for the public to attend the show. That’s in contrast to the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show held in Weyburn this past June, which, for the first time, charged a $10/day entrance fee.
To save time entering, it’s best to register online for your entry badge beforehand. That can be done at lhos.ca. Also on that website you can get banquet tickets here.
