The 21st Annual LDC Gas Forum Energy Innovations Rockies & West takes place in Denver, CO August 11 - 13, 2025
The LDC Gas Forum Rockies and West draws over 250 natural gas market decision-makers for insights and networking with subject matter experts, including executives from Liberty Energy, Sapphire Gas Solutions, and ConocoPhillips Houston, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2025) - Over two hundred fifty energy industry professionals gather in August to gain insight and analysis of up to the minute issues facing the U.S. Rockies & West natural gas market region. The 21 st annual Energy Innovations -LDC Gas ForumRockies & West takes place August 11 - 13, 2025 in Denver, CO. This is the industry's premier gathering for natural gas industry professionals, which is much more than simply a conference, with participants routinely negotiating commercial transactions during the event. This year's Program is packed with relevant critical issues faced by natural gas market stakeholders across the value chain. A key theme spanning the Agenda is the reset of markets to support the Administration's policy of unleashing American energy, including supplying the remarkable projected increase in natural gas demand. Beyond this overarching theme, the Agenda also addresses issues unique to U.S. Rockies & West natural gas markets. Gas/electric coordination challenges, including electricity demand growth to serve AI Data Centers and general growth in reliable/non-intermittent electricity, translates into a significant forecasted increase for natural gas fired power generation. New midstream infrastructure projects, desperately needed to move natural gas to markets on a reliable basis, are in development. LNG Exports, primarily on the U.S. Gulf Coast liquefaction facilities, but also on the Canadian pacific coast, are now competing for supply from production regions that traditionally serve U.S. Rockies & West markets. The convergence of these market conditions translates into potential for volatility and the need for informed decisions on structuring commercial arrangements into the future. In addition, recurring LDC Gas Forum topics include market fundamentals (supply/demand), natural gas supply capabilities, midstream infrastructure project updates, end use natural gas user perspectives, gas/electric coordination, policy/regulatory/legal analysis, and technology innovations. All this against a backdrop of commercial operations involving producing, transporting, and buying natural gas. The content/insight program of the LDC Gas Forum Rockies & West consists of 2 ½ days with a total of eighteen keynote Presentations and Panels. Keynote addresses will be delivered by Ron Gusek, CEO, Liberty Energy, Sam Thigpen, Founder/CEO , Sapphire Gas Solutions, and James Pearson, Senior Market Analyst, ConocoPhillips, and Dan Haley, Executive Director , Coloradans for Responsible Energy Development. The Program also includes four moderated interactive Panel discussions addressing a variety of timely topics, with knowledgeable subject matter experts including executives from: bp; DRW Holdings; Natural Gas Intelligence (NGI); NRG Energy; Promethius Hyperscale; Frontier Infrastructure Holdings; PureWest; NRG Energy; Trellis Energy; nGenue; Cleveland Advisory; Enbridge; Vantage Data Centers; and SoCal Gas. These Presentations and moderated Panel discussions offer an excellent opportunity to gain insight into topical issues, with drill-down focus and actionable takeaways, from a variety of perspectives. The agenda also allocates multiple sessions of dedicated time for networking, to facilitate discussion, including with speakers, and to meet and connect with existing and prospective customers. This Forum focuses on energy innovations in U.S. Rockies & West natural gas markets, while six other LDC Gas Forums throughout the year address other key regions and market segments across the continent. Even in today's digital age, natural gas market participants appreciate events that facilitate face-to-face interaction. The LDC Gas Forum is uniquely structured to meet this expectation. The Forums have been the venue of choice for thousands of participants for decades. Registration is still available at The LDC Gas Forums (4), Gulf Coast Energy Forum, and NatGas to Power Forum series consists of six annual events, each focused on a key natural gas market region across North America. This is where buyers and sellers meet to do business. Much more than simply conferences, the Forums are a well-structured event that delivers insights into critical issues affecting natural gas, LNG, natural gas power generation, and emerging energy markets, but in addition, provide participants opportunities to meet with industry counterparts to complete commercial business transactions. Timely panel discussions featuring key industry experts focus on important questions facing buyers, sellers, transportation operators, service/product suppliers, and other market stakeholders in competitive energy markets. Topics addressed include: natural gas market fundamentals (supply/demand) and price forecasting; LNG exports; natural gas power generation demand (incl. AI Data Centers); gas/electric coordination; natural gas infrastructure additions; energy policy, regulation and legal; Mexico natural gas exports; natural gas end user perspectives; virtual pipeline solutions; technology innovations for energy; energy evolution/additions providing supply security, affordability, and lower carbon alternatives (incl. certified gas, RNG, CCS). Participants at the Forums include C-Suite market leaders, decision makers and subject matter experts, representing all segments of the commercial natural gas value chain including utilities, industrial gas consumers, producers, pipelines, marketers, key service/product providers, as well as policy makers, regulators and market analysts. Multiple dedicated networking sessions give you access to your clients, prospects, and peers to pursue opportunities in the market.

Warm and windy Wednesday ahead of another wet day Thursday
The first half of Wednesday will be mild with a mix of sun and cloud and a high around 20 C for most of southern Alberta. Winds are expected to pick up in the afternoon to around 20 km/h with gusts closer to 40 km/h in the Calgary area. This wind precedes an incoming low pressure system that will bring rain across the Rockies late Wednesday before tracking east through Calgary on Thursday. Warm and windy Wednesday ahead of another wet day Thursday Air quality statements (gray) and air quality warnings (purple) issued by Environment and Climate Canada as of 7 a.m. July 16, 2025. Air quality statements have been issued for the southeast corner of Alberta due to wildfire smoke from Saskatchewan being pushed south. This should improve in Alberta once a shift in the weather pattern pushes some of that smoke back toward the source fires (in the central and northern communities). Thunderstorms are possible along the foothills Wednesday with the greatest threats including hail and strong wind. Funnel cloud development is also possible due to wind shear. There will be a moderate amount of moisture associated with this incoming system, and communities, including Calgary, could record another 15 to 20 millimetres of rain by early Friday. Cooler air is expected to funnel south along the foothills resulting in daytime highs on Thursday that are at least five to eight degrees below seasonal. The main theme this week will be a lack of consistency. Friday will be similar to Wednesday with more sunshine and highs in the low 20s. Saturday and Sunday both include a chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms with daytime highs around 21 C in Calgary.

Four things to know about Kyson Witherspoon, the top pick by the Red Sox in the 2025 MLB Draft
Here are four things to know about the promising righty. He was considered one of the top arms in college baseball Former Rockies GM Dan O'Dowd had high praise for Witherspoon shortly after Boston selected him. 'This guy has more upside of anyone that's been taken from a pitching standpoint. I think this young man is just stretching the surface of how good he can be.' The numbers speak for themselves when it comes to Witherspoon. Advertisement Kyson Witherspoon's arsenal 😮💨 His fastball grades out with plus velocity and exceptional ride, making him look like an MLB-ready arm 👀 More likely first-rounders with intriguing data: — Baseball America (@BaseballAmerica) He posted a 10-4 record with a 2.65 ERA, 124 strikeouts, and 23 walks across 16 starts (95 innings) this past season with the Sooners. Those 124 strikeouts ranked sixth in Division 1 this past year. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Beyond the stats, Witherspoon's varied arsenal of pitches and swing-and-miss stuff had him projected as the No. 10 prospect in this draft class, per MLB Pipeline. 'Witherspoon has swing-and-miss stuff, starting with a mid-90s fastball that peaks at 99 mph and stands out more for its power than its modest life,' 'He's showing more consistency with his low-80s downer curveball, giving him another plus offering, while his upper-80s changeup is a work in progress that gets too firm but will show interesting fade at times.' Advertisement He has a twin brother who is also a 2025 Draft pick Witherspoon wasn't be the only one in his family who heard their name called during the 2025 MLB Draft. Witherspoon has a twin brother, Malachi, who has been with him every step of the way. He was drafted by the Tigers on Sunday with the 62nd pick. Kyson (No. 15, BOS) and Malachi (No. 62, DET) Witherspoon have both been drafted today! They'll look to be the first set of twins in the Majors after being taken the same year since fellow Sooners Ryan and Damon Minor (1996). More on the brothers: — MLB Pipeline (@MLBPipeline) 'We always have a partner for everything we do,' Kyson said of his brother, via The Witherspoon twins have been stapled at the hip on the baseball diamond, playing for the same teams in youth league, high school, summer ball, junior college, the Cape Cod Baseball League, and the college ranks. Both Witherspoon brothers committed to Oklahoma in July 2023. Initially drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 12th round in 2022, Malachi opted to continue playing with his brother in the college. Kyson was not selected by any team during the 2022 Draft. Malachi finished the 2025 season with a 5.09 ERA through 74.1 innings pitched with Oklahoma – with his 91 strikeouts ranking second on the roster behind his brother. He credits his mother for getting him to this point in baseball In a feature story by 'We want to take care of our mom,' Kyson said. 'She's done everything in the world for us. We wouldn't be here without her. Whatever she needs, whatever she wants, we're going to help her. I mean, it's all hers. The only reason we've been able to go through this is because of her. Advertisement The Witherspoon twins — along with older sister Kylei and younger brother Kyler — were all raised by Meg as a single mother, who supported her family by working three or four jobs at a time and logging over 75 hours of work per week in Florida. 'I get a tear in my eye thinking about how respectful they are,' Oklahoma baseball coach Skip Johnson told Nightengale. 'You can't say enough about that motherly love, and it was hard love too. Those kids are her life. She broke her back for those kids. She was there, man. She was the backbone of that deal. It's such a crazy, beautiful story. It's something movies are made of, man.'' He wasn't highly recruited out of high school as a shortstop One of the reasons why Malachi received a call during the 2022 MLB Draft and not Kyson was due to the lack of buzz surrounding Kyson's potential as a pitcher. Kyson wasn't considered a blue-chip prospect during his high-school days at Fletcher High School in Neptune Beach, Fla. While Kyson eventually made the switch from the infield to the pitcher's mound, his reps at shortstop also helped him develop the arm action needed to deliver a blistering fastball with little exertion. 'I think just the arm path thing, it was never something I really intentionally tried to do,' Witherspoon said. 'Coming from a shortstop background throughout high school, I think just the shorter arm path was pretty comfortable for me already.' Advertisement Conor Ryan can be reached at

Yankees in trouble if inadequate first half gets benefit of grading on curve
Access the Yankees beat like never before Don't miss Greg Joyce's text messages from The Bronx and beyond — he's giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Yankees. Sign Up Now Aaron Boone graded his team as 'incomplete' for the first half. Inadequate would be more accurate. Not good enough for sure. As the Yankee manager is wont to note — and did again Sunday — 'all the hopes and dreams are right there and still exist for us.' Indeed. The Yankees are not the Rockies or White Sox. They have enough talent in a watered-down American League that winning a second straight pennant is no pipe dream. It also is not happening if the Yankees of the past seven weeks linger. The Yankees, after all, are not judged against the Rockies and White Sox. They are judged against their history, payroll and expectations. And how they have performed, since late May generally and mid-June specifically, will make reaching the playoffs challenging, regardless of how diminished the league might be. Because the left side of their infield is a disaster. Their rotation and homer-challenged bullpen are both depth challenged. Their homer-dependent offense can score 10 or zero, which is how the Yanks could have the majors' second-best run differential and be so underperforming it.
