  • The Risk Shifting Provisions of the IADC Daywork Drilling Contract

    Please join us for this seminar that will focus on the IADC Daywork Drilling Contract. This seminar is for in-house attorneys, drilling managers, operations engineers, and risk management personnel who participate in the negotiation of drilling contracts and obtaining liability insurance.

    The IADC Daywork Drilling Contract is the most commonly used contract in connection with the drilling of wells in the Rockies and all other on-shore regions of the United States. It includes a number of risk allocation or shifting provisions with major economic and insurance ramifications, including becoming responsible for the repair or replacement of the drilling rig and injuries to other contractors caused by actions of the drilling contractor. This seminar will focus on those risk shifting provisions and related insurance coverage issues presented by this contract form. Our speakers have assisted clients in negotiating many drilling contracts and in addressing related insurance issues. The speakers for this program are:

    • Gene Lang, Of Counsel, Davis Graham & Stubbs, LLP
    • Randy Pharo, Of Counsel, Davis Graham & Stubbs, LLP
    • Theresa Fadul, Executive Vice President and Director of Energy Practice, IMA, Inc.

  • Climate Action Plan Seminar

    Please join us for a well-informed and balanced roundtable discussion of the challenges and opportunities posed by climate change for the Rocky Mountain West from three different perspectives, including:

    • Shaun McGrath, Regional Administrator of the EPA, Region 8
    • Kathleen Sgamma, Vice President of Government & Public Affairs, Western Energy Alliance
    • Amelia Peterson, Senior Research Associate, Governors’ Climate & Forests Task Force, University of Colorado Law School Research Faculty
    • Eric Waeckerlin, Attorney, Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP, moderator

    Topics will include:

    • The Obama Administration’s recent Climate Action Plan and Executive Order
    • What to expect from federal agencies implementing the President’s plan
    • Opportunities and challenges for the West’s energy sector
    • Thoughts on the future of renewable energy projects in the West
    • Implications of drought and drought-preparedness
    • The role of state, local, and tribal governments in addressing climate change

    Climate change continues to present some of the most vexing challenges of our time. Perhaps nowhere are those challenges more difficult than in the arid West – a vast area rich in natural resources, short on water, and growing in population. In the absence of Congressional greenhouse gas legislation or a comprehensive energy policy, climate change has been addressed largely through piecemeal court decisions and various legislative and administrative initiatives. Increasingly, states, local governments, and tribes are taking action. The resulting patchwork regulatory framework has created uncertainty for all stakeholders, including most notably those in the energy sector. How and where the issues of climate change regulation and policy are resolved will largely shape our energy future; and the stakes for the Western economy are significant. Join us as we discuss these developments, challenges, and opportunities.

  • Hydraulic Fracturing & Air Emissions Seminar

    Please join us for this seminar that will focus on recent air emission studies and issues related to oil and gas operations. As concerns over increased oil and gas activity using hydraulic fracturing continue to mount, significant efforts and focus have turned to air emissions – both from oil and gas operations generally, and hydraulic fracturing specifically. In this session, our speakers, who have been and are involved in the forefront of these issues, will present an overview of completed and ongoing studies regarding the impact of airborne emissions associated with oil and gas operations.

    Topics will include a general overview of air emissions studies focused on oil and gas activities to date, and a detailed discussion of the ongoing Garfield County Gas Emission Study conducted by Colorado State University and Air Resource Specialists, Inc. with input from a technical advisory committee. Finally, we will briefly highlight the latest litigation and regulatory developments related to hydraulic fracturing.

    Speakers for this program are:

    • Dr. Jeffrey L. Collett, Professor and Department Head, Colorado State University Department of Atmospheric Science

  • Air Quality Permitting, Compliance, and Enforcement for Stationary Engines

    Please join us as we discuss important air-quality permitting, compliance, and enforcement issues related to non-road and stationary engines. Operators in the oil and gas and other industrial sectors rely on these engines to power their operations. Yet, a complex patchwork of state and federal air quality rules and regulations often make compliance difficult, which can significantly impact day-to-day business operations. Attendees will get an in-depth look at a variety of issues that manufacturers, owners, and operators of these engines in Colorado, and elsewhere, need to be aware of to avoid compliance pitfalls and serious business interruptions, including:

    • Changes to Colorado’s Regulation 3 governing Internal Combustion Engines
    • Colorado Permit Process including Air Pollutant Emission Notice (APEN), Construction Permit, and Portable Permit
    • Applicability of Quad Z requirements governing Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines
    • Applicability of Quad J requirements governing Stationary Spark-Ignition Internal Combustion Engines
    • Applicability of Non-Road Large Spark Ignited (LSI) rules and regulations, and their overlap with stationary engine requirements
    • A unique perspective from EPA Region 8 on compliance and enforcement considerations under EPA’s engine regulations

    Our speakers are at the forefront of air quality issues related to both non-road and stationary engines throughout the Rocky Mountain West and across the country. This session will offer critical compliance and practical advice for any business facing engine-related air quality issues, including manufacturers, owners, and operators.

    The Moderator for this program is:

    • Randy Dann, Associate, Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP
