I'm going to try that message again with better formatting: For those in the Denver area in mid-August, this might be an interesting conference to attend although I don't have any idea whether it is by invitation only. Good news is that HEC is among the 25 companies presenting at the conference: DENVER, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Twenty-five companies will make presentations to institutional investors at the third annual Institutional Oil and Gas Conference sponsored by EnerCOM, Inc. and Kirkpatrick Energy Associates, Inc. The conference will be held from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 11, and Wednesday, Aug. 12, in Denver. "The cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry offers the astute investor great opportunities, including this market of low oil prices that in turn has created great value plays," said Sandy Kirkpatrick, president of Kirkpatrick Energy Associates. "Oil and gas companies today are better suited to weather the vagaries of the commodity markets," said Greg Barnett, president of EnerCOM. "The industry is growing largely because of advanced geologic and engineering tools used to extract oil and gas that was believed to not exist. The companies represented at this year's conference are aggressively working to meet the growing world-wide demand for these resources." Exploration and production companies presenting include Abraxas Petroleum (Nasdaq: AXAS), Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC), Barrett Resources Corp. (NYSE: BRR), Edge Petroleum (Nasdaq: EPEX), Forest Oil Corp. (Nasdaq: FST), Forcenergy Inc. (NYSE: FEN), Gulf Canada Resources Ltd. (NYSE: GOU), Harken Energy (Amex: HEC), Magnum Hunter Resources (Amex: MHR), Newfield Exploration Co. (NYSE: NFX), Petsec Energy Ltd (NYSE: PSJ), Ranger Oil (NYSE: RGO), St. Mary Land and Exploration (Nasdaq:MARY), Suncor Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SU) and Venus Exploration (Nasdaq: VENX).
