Montana Energy 2012 expo sells out on first day

April 4, 2012/

Montana Energy 2012, the first exposition of its kind in Billings, sold out quickly as more than 350 people came seeking a piece of the oil riches flowing out of the Bakken shale formation.

Companies selling everything from shovels to the latest and priciest earthmover filled 196 booths for the two-day conference in the Expo Center at MetraPark.

Over coffee, business leaders traded stories of big oil profits spiced with oil patch problems. The two-day Montana Energy 2012 conference is sponsored by the Montana Contractors’ Association, Big Sky Economic Development, Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson and the Montana Petroleum Association.
