BISMARCK – The North Dakota Petroleum Council announced Thursday that the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference has been postponed until May 11-13, 2021.

Following the COVID-19 outbreak, the conference was originally rescheduled for September 2020. Due to continued travel restrictions around the country, as well as internationally, the conference will be postponed until next year.

We are excited to host the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference next May, and looking forward to bringing our industry together.”

“We are committed to protecting the health and safety of our attendees, speakers, and exhibitors and will continue to monitor the situation and follow official guidance as we move forward with this new date,” Ness said. “We appreciate the patience of our conference participants as we navigate this uncertainty.
