The 21st Annual LDC Gas Forum Energy Innovations Rockies & West takes place in Denver, CO August 11 - 13, 2025
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 21st annual Energy Innovations - LDC Gas Forum Rockies & 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); NatGasHub.com; 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 https://www.ldcgasforums.com/rw/.
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.

Can Palantir Stock Hit $160 in 2025?
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has been one of the standout performers in the artificial intelligence (AI) stock rally, with shares demonstrating a meteoric rise. As investor enthusiasm around its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) continues to grow, some on Wall Street — like Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives — believe PLTR stock could climb even higher. Ives recently set a bold price target of $160 on Palantir stock. Palantir has been riding high, fueled by rapid expansion in both its government and commercial segments and staking its claim as a cornerstone of enterprise AI. That momentum pushed the stock to an all-time high of $151.51 this month, capturing Wall Street's attention. Still, PLTR stock's lofty valuation continues to spark debate, with bullish sentiment appearing to be running ahead of the company's near-term financial metrics. More News from Barchart Dear Nvidia Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for July 16 Dear Google Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for July 23 Retirement Ready: 3 Dividend Stocks to Set and Forget Our exclusive Barchart Brief newsletter is your FREE midday guide to what's moving stocks, sectors, and investor sentiment - delivered right when you need the info most. Subscribe today! So, will the company's AI-fueled momentum justify the Street's optimism and power through to Ives' ambitious $160 Street-high mark? Or is PLTR stock simply sprinting past what its fundamentals can support? About Palantir Stock Palantir Technologies is a public software company specializing in big‑data analytics and AI platforms (including Gotham, Foundry, Apollo, and AIP) for both government and enterprise clients. The company earned early backing from the CIA's venture arm, In‑Q‑Tel, and has since evolved into a major provider of mission-critical data tools for federal agencies and commercial organizations alike. It currently boasts a market capitalization of $350 billion. PLTR stock has surged dramatically, up 99% year-to-date (YTD) and rising 426% over the past 52 weeks on the back of rapid growth in its AI-powered platforms, deepening expansion across both government and commercial sectors, and bullish analyst price targets. In fact, so far this year, Palantir is the top performer of the S&P 500 Index ($SPX). While Palantir's AI momentum is undeniable and the stock surge is impressive, its sky-high valuation raises eyebrows. Priced at 408 times forward adjusted earnings and 123 times sales, PLTR stock trades higher than many AI peers and major tech players. Palantir's Q1 Results Exceed Projections Palantir delivered a powerful first-quarter 2025 report on May 5, with revenue soaring 39% year-over-year (YOY) to $884 million, comfortably surpassing analysts' expectations. Domestic growth was a standout, with U.S. revenue growing 55% annually to $628 million. Within that segment, U.S. commercial revenue surged 71% while government revenue climbed 45% YOY. Profitability metrics were equally impressive. Adjusted net income hit $334.4 million, up 70% YOY, while adjusted EPS increased more than 62% to $0.13, topping the estimates. Plus, the company exited the quarter with $370.4 million in adjusted free cash flow — more than double last year's figure — reflecting a strong 42% margin and marked improvement in operational efficiency and YOY cash generation. These standout figures gave Palantir confidence to raise its full-year revenue guidance to the range of $3.89 billion to $3.902 billion, indicating roughly 36% of top-line growth for fiscal 2025. U.S. commercial revenue growth is expected to be at least 68%. Management also raised its adjusted income from operations guidance, now expected to be between $1.71 billion and $1.72 billion. Analysts expect the company's EPS to climb 362% YOY to $0.37 in fiscal 2025, then rise another 16% to $0.43 in fiscal 2026. What Do Analysts Expect for Palantir Stock? Wedbush analyst Dan Ives recently upheld his 'Outperform' rating on PLTR stock while raising the price target from $140 to $160. The analyst characterized Palantir as on a 'golden path to become the next Oracle,' positioning it as a foundational platform amid a projected trillion‑dollar wave of global AI spend. Despite its currently high valuation, Wedbush views Palantir as a core winner in the AI revolution, with a strong competitive moat and customer momentum. Still, not everyone is on board. Citi reaffirmed a 'Neutral' rating on the stock and maintained a $115 price target. The firm cited optimism around AIP and financial services, but flagged valuation concerns and mixed international momentum, especially in European commercial markets. PLTR stock has a consensus rating of a 'Hold' overall. Of the 20 analysts covering the stock, three advise a 'Strong Buy,' 12 suggest a 'Hold,' one analyst gives it a 'Moderate Sell' rating, and four rate PLTR as a 'Strong Sell.' Palantir is trading at a premium to its average analyst price target of $106.12. However, Wedbush's Street-high target of $160 signals that the tech stock could still rise as much as 6% from current levels.

A record share of American firms froze investments in China as trade ties worsened earlier this year, a recent survey suggests. Fewer than half of the companies surveyed by the US-China Business Council between March and May said they planned to invest in China in 2025, a drop from 80% last year and a record low since the group began asking a similar question in 2006, according to the Wednesday report.
