LOGA Industry Report - Fall 2008 - (Page 28)

October 21-22, 2008 Cajundome Convention Center, Lafayette, LA • www.gcpeonline.com The 13th Annual Gulf Coast Prospect Expo (GCPE), October 21-22, is quickly approaching. I hope you have made your plans to join us for what I believe will be our best Expo yet! It is an exciting time in our industry to network with Gulf Coast players. Not only are we in an election year anticipating new politicians and new policies to affect our daily business, but we are also experiencing unprecedented prices for oil and natural gas, rising drilling costs, manpower shortages and the potential of new drilling possibilities. Additionally, the Gulf Coast resource play has spread from Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas to Louisiana. As a result of the Haynesville Shale, rising gas prices and the ingenuity and advances in technology, leasing activity has picked up in many areas across the Gulf Coast. With all this activity, GCPE is sure to have something for everyone. The professional dedicated staff of LOGA and its faithful volunteers from industry on the GCPE Advisory Board are proud to host this premier event featuring Gulf Coast properties, prospects and prospectors. Join us for the opportunity to network with the exhibitors, our governmental ofﬁcials and sponsors. Lafayette is a great host city and the Cajun Dome Convention Center provides a modern, comfortable setting for this event. You are sure to enjoy the local unique culture and great food. The Louisiana Energy Golf Classic will kick things off on Monday October 20th at LeTriomphe in Broussard, LA. There are still team spots and sponsorship opportunities available to showcase your company. For more information, please contact Ben Broussard at 337-278-6240 or ben@ loga.la We wish to thank our sponsors and exhibitors, whose commitment to excellence has made this event vibrant and valuable to the industry. I hope we will see you in Lafayette and that you experience a new relationship or gain knowledge that will impact your business in a big way.
