One-of-a-Kind Energy Symposium Hosted by Third Party Due Diligence Firm

Mick & Associates, P.C., LLO (Mick), a third party due diligence firm, will host its 2015 Energy Symposium February 15th through the 17th in Plano, Texas. Mick’s event offers educational opportunities without the typical sales presentations.

Broker-dealer due diligence officers in attendance should expect to hear from energy sponsor CEOs, attorneys, geologists and petroleum engineers discussing key issues and opportunities in today’s energy market.

Topics discussed will include oil and gas private placement evaluation issues, 2015 tax developments, sponsor level analysis, litigation and regulatory matters, and general insight into the direction of the energy sector.

Mick’s event provides sessions covering energy project economic analysis, royalty and income products, MLPs, and leasebanks.

One timely session titled “Finding Investment Opportunities at $50 Oil: Where are the Diamonds in the Rough?” will more than likely draw a large crowd. Panelists include Ross Posner, Senior Managing Director of Ridgewood Private Equity Partners, Gary Redwine, Managing Partner of Resource Royalty, LLC, and Michael Greer, CEO of Waveland Energy Partners, LLC.

For newer DDOs, the event offers “Energy 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Geology, Engineering, Land, and Operations” paneled by Reese Pinney, Principal of Gulf South and Steve Burr, President of BCS Energy Services.

Dr. R. Gerald Bailey, P.E., a 50 year energy industry veteran and current CEO of MCW Energy Group will be the event’s guest speaker. Educationally and experience wise, Dr. Bailey touts an overwhelmingly impressive resume.

He earned a BS Degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Houston, an MS Degree in Chemical Engineering from the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey, a PhD Degree from Columbia Pacific University, San Rafael, CA and is a graduate of Engineering Doctoral Studies from Lamar University, Beaumont, TX.

Dr. Bailey has international experience in the petroleum industry both upstream and downstream in the Middle East and onshore and offshore U.S. Retired from Exxon, he also provides consulting services for major oil and gas exploration and development companies.

Sponsors will have an opportunity to showcase their expertise as well.

Atlas Growth Partners, L.P. and MDS Energy Development, LLC are two of over a dozen sponsors presenting educational topics, with minimal self – promotion.

Bryan Mick, President of Mick & Associates, and his team run a well-oiled event, keeping presenters on track and focused on adding value for attendees.
