HEADLINES: Who Gets BHP’s US Assets Now?

Editor's note: Due to Hurricane Harvey, DUG Eagle Ford has been rescheduled for Nov. 15-17, 2017. The decision to postpone the conference was made one day after this video report was posted on Aug. 24, 2017.

In this week’s Oil and Gas Investor Headlines, BHP Billiton’s exit from US shale opens up a world of possibilities for potential buyers of its Delaware Basin assets. We heard from Stratas Advisors Jeff Quigley about what the Anglo-Australian company’s departure means for the oil and gas industry. Don’t expect it to become a trend.

What did Alta Mesa’s CEO Hal Chappelle have to say about his company’s recent merger announcement with Silver Run and Kingfisher? Hart Energy’s Senior Editor Darren Barbee talked exclusively with Chappelle.

Also this week, Chevron’s CEO is reportedly planning to step down, Energy Transfer Partners is suing Greenpeace, and the Gulf Coast braces for Harvey.
