The bi-annual Lloydminster Heavy Oil Show will be back on track this fall after being derailed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2022 show will feature a two-part format at the Lloydminster Exhibition Grounds from Sept. 14-15 to increase showcase exhibits for the oil and gas industries and the public.
The 20th bi-annual show is presented by the Lloydminster Oilfield Technical Society and member volunteers under the theme Focusing Forward in 2022.
The event was announced by the City of Lloydminster on March 31 on behalf of Mayor Gerald Aalbers in his role as director of protocol for the Heavy Oil Show Committee.
The news release was well-timed with West Texas Intermediate oil topping $102 a barrel during the day and Western Canadian Select heavy oil over $92 a barrel.
“The Lloydminster Heavy Oil Show is a staple in the heavy oil industry, and the committee is excited to see its return since being last featured in 2018,” said show chairperson, John Stanyer.
“The industry is staring down the start of a new boom. The show will provide attendees and exhibitors with the chance to focus on the breadth of innovation within the sector over the past few years.”
The opening ceremony and banquet are scheduled for Sept. 13 with a new fireside chat during the banquet, and speakers to be announced later this year.
Show attendees will have the opportunity to explore indoor and outdoor industry oil-themed exhibits, demos and equipment featuring oil and gas support services.
Guests attending the event’s final day can take part in the luncheon and panel discussion, featuring prominent energy officials speaking on the energy industry of today, tomorrow and the future.
The oil show will run on Sept. 14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m and on Sept. 15 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Exhibit and attendee information is available online at www.lhos.ca.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available. Please contact the show office at 780-875-6664 for more details.
