From March 11-12, the Atlantic Council and the World Energy Council hosted a workshop which focused on individual countries in East Central Europe to review the progress being made in refining best practices and in addressing environmental concerns and regulatory requirements within Europe.
This workshop aimed to inform regulators on the practices and techniques utilized in comparative jurisdictions to safely regulate unconventional gas resources. The conference featured sessions led by distinguished experts and regulators in the fields of unconventional drilling, water management, and unconventional extraction regulation.
