MIDSTREAM FOCUS
WHO SAYS? By: Joshua K. Corman OSHadvisors Consulting & Inspections For most of us in the midstream area of oil and gas, at some point in our careers we will most likely work in different regions of the Untied States. In saying this, each part of the country has different topography and geography that relate greatly to midstream work. Our job process many times becomes redundant and this creates a feeling of complacency. Procedurally we do the same tasks over and over on a daily basis not realizing the different hidden hazards of each individual location. Line breaking is one of the most common daily tasks faced by midstream employees. This article will outline the differences of line breaking procedures in different areas of the country. In my opinion the biggest disadvantage for midstream employees is operating on hearsay. Upstream employees rely more on science and study prior to ever lowering a drill bit into the earth. Drillers come onsite knowing the depths to be drilled; hazards that may be encountered and this knowledge comes from previous drilling and survey in this area. Many midstream employees that work, especially in the area of inspection and supervision, may lead a crew one day in south Texas and six months later be in West Virginia. When arriving on new locations you can ask all the correct questions, but who really knows the true answer? Coming from a petrochemical background, line breaking procedures are clearly spelled out in the company policy. The job will be well planned, the proper equipment onsite, and all the if-then questions answered. There has been an extraordinary amount of pipeline, compressor stations, tank farms, and meter runs installed in the United States over the past ten years. If it were to stop today, which it is not, these lines will still need to be maintained, maintenanced and added to. The problem is that most likely in those cases, the workers will show up on a previously completed job that they were not a part of originally. Before a crew cracks into that line, they need to stop for a moment and answer a few simple questions: 1) What is or was contained in the line?; 2) Is there any pressure still on the line?; and, 3) What tools are needed for the job? If you can answer all three of these questions, then you are prepared to being the line breaking procedure. The most important thing about breaking open a line is considering the pressure on the line, flammability of gases, toxic fumes and environmental contaminants that may be present. As previously stated hearsay can be the worst enemy of a midstream employee. You may hear people from the region saying there are very few liquids in the lines, low levels of sour gas, etc. You can never foresee the level of H2S present in a line or how many liquids may spill out after removing that last bolt. The best way is to act like it is always present on every job. Having a four gas meter, individual gas badges, a SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) and one trained employee with a simple respiratory fit test on the crew removing that final bolt can prevent an environmental spill, recordable injury and/or fatality. Fifteen percent of employees coming in contact with H2S result in what is called “knock down” of that employee. This occurrence renders the affected employee helpless instantly. Having an SCBA onsite can allow an employee to perform the task properly, but also will be your only chance of saving an employee who has been knocked down by H2S. Toxic fumes are not the only concern when breaking a line, liquids may be released as well creating an environmental and personnel hazard. This being said, each line breaking crew, should come prepared with a spill cleanup kit, diapers to absorb spilled liquids and most importantly a drum or washtub to keep the liquids from spilling on the ground at all. If we take each job individually, regardless of location, and take into account hazards both environmentally and to employees, you will not be left to explain “what happened” based on hearsay.

MIDSTREAM FOCUS
Prevent Surprises With Midstream Environmental Due Diligence Robert C. Reinhart and Michael Sponsler, TRC Companies Inc. enforcement authority is the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP). The West Virginia regulatory authority is the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP). Proper management of solid waste is critical to maintaining environmental compliance at midstream facilities, and should be a focus of any due diligence work associated with a midstream transaction. Exempted exploration and production (E&P) waste is typically generated at the wellhead facilities, gathering pipelines, gathering compressor stations and gas processing plants, all the way to the point of delivery of pipeline-quality gas (typically the discharge meter at the gas processing plant). 1 Non-exempt wastes typically include used lube oil (found at most gathering compressor stations), mercury, lab wastes and PCBs (sometimes associated with historic midstream facilities or pipelines). Midstream personnel are well advised to segregate, manage and dispose of E&P exempt waste, because numerous additional rules apply when exempt and non-exempt waste streams are mixed. A well-executed midstream due diligence will capture potential E&P exempt waste liabilities. These include waste-handling infrastructure, such as skids, drains, sumps, slop tanks and leach-fields; regulatory drivers for infrastructure modifications, such as used oil profile, remediation of sump leaks/overflows, replacement of the sump, mixed waste profile, installation of a used oil tank and berm); and associated costs.
No one likes unwelcome surprises, especially when a multimillion -dollar transaction is at stake. Understanding the potential environmental liabilities associated with a midstream asset in advance of a transaction will ease the future anxiety of all involved parties. For the buyers, it’s important to quantify the environmental compliance and remediation liabilities. Development of the Utica and Marcellus Shale resources in Ohio and Pennsylvania has, and will lead to construction, transfer, and sale of thousands of miles of pipelines to gather, process, and move the product to market. Investment in these assets will require thorough environmental due diligence work to protect your interests. Because of the nature of midstream natural gas gathering assets and their multiple regulatory frameworks, the typical due diligence approach must be tailored to meet the unique hurdles of the midstream sector. Midstream natural gas operators can best protect themselves by understanding and implementing a due diligence protocol as part of a transaction and proceeding with care. Please note that first and foremost, confidentiality and non-disclosure during the evaluation is an essential element in the due diligence process. Regulatory Compliance The key environmental laws governing soil, water, waste and air compliance issues are the federal Clean Air Act (CAA), the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and state-specific nuances. In Ohio, compliance with and enforcement of these three acts lies with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA). In Pennsylvania, the
Understanding Application of Pollution Liability Laws The most relevant environmental laws governing pollution liability are the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) rule. Many commercial and industrial businesses use ASTM Standard E 1527-05 to complete a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) as their environmental due diligence, with the objective of securing an “innocent landowner defense” to CERCLA liability. A Phase I ESA is a limited investigation that will help determine if a recognized environmental condition (REC) exists on or adjoining a site. ASTM Standard 1527-05 defines a REC as “the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property.” Field gas, natural gas liquids, produced water and condensate are not defined as petroleum products or hazardous materials under CERCLA, and pollution resulting from E&P exempt waste won’t trigger CERCLA liability. 2 The ASTM Standard specifically excludes, in part, evaluation of regulatory compliance, asbestos, vapor intrusion and lead-based paint. Accordingly, the ASTM Standard is not well suited for a midstream transaction. Tailored due diligence for midstream assets is required in order to address ASTM non-scope considerations such as expanded linear/corridor studies, cultural, natural resource and construction permitting reviews and waste management evaluations that accommodate the E&P exemptions to RCRA that are unique to this industry.

MIDSTREAM FOCUS The Art of Estimating Liability Estimating methods for environmental liability have inherent exceptions and limitations. For example, potential third party liability cannot reasonably be predicted and is typically excluded, whereas the actual dollar amount for a proposed or pending settlement agreement or consent decree might be included. The buyer might want an estimate of the environmental component for a shortterm asset retirement obligation (ARO) at an abandoned facility, but not the long-term ARO at an active facility. Environmental permitting costs might be included in the environmental models, while capital expenditures for equipment or infrastructure upgrades needed to bring a facility into compliance are not. Where there is cross-over, the environmental team should ensure that costs for remediation, permitting and compliance are not duplicated (or omitted) by other due diligence team members. Making the Lists and Checking Them Twice Two critical aspects of midstream due diligence are an accurate asset list and the asset profile. The asset list captures, documents and verifies the assets, including pipeline segments. The asset profile captures ownership, location, vintage, operational specifications and potential receptors. Most gathering systems are large, and only a representative sampling of facilities might be visited during the site walks. As transactional deadlines approach, data gaps may go unresolved. Facilities’ records may not be readily available or reviewable. In these cases, the asset list and asset profile are used to estimate environmental liabilities at the remaining facilities where less information is provided or discovered. Whereas commercial, right-of-way, or operations due diligence may focus only on active or operational assets and future business opportunities, an accurate list, including vacant land and abandoned or dismantled facilities, is essential for environmental due diligence. Similarly, the pipeline integrity reviews may identify pipeline data, releases, or trends relevant to the environmental review. Remediation expenditures might be disclosed in financial and legal documents that are not otherwise disclosed to the environmental reviewers. Accordingly, the real-time sharing of disclosures and discoveries should be encouraged among all of the due diligence team members. Field forms, checklists and guidance formats can be developed by the operator or provided by expert sources, such as environmental consulting firms or law firms. Caveat Emptor Buyer beware! Most environmental due diligence is conducted before the execution of the purchase and sale agreement (PSA). Typically, a material environmental defect is defined in the PSA as a violation of environmental law that would trigger a mitigation, remediation or response action. It’s imperative to anticipate, verify, and challenge (if needed)the environmental elements that will be required in the final contract(s). These include: asset lists and descriptions; sellers’ representations and warranties regarding environmental matters; the terms of any environmental indemnifications or seller-retained liabilities; disclosure schedules identifying excluded assets; and disclosure schedules identifying environmental matters. Allocating Risks Traditional mechanisms to allocate risk include purchase price negotiations, indemnities, escrows or reserves, pre-closing exclusions, seller-retained liability, post-closing adjustments, pollution loss and liability (PLL) insurance and/or liability transfer products. High-risk properties might be excluded if the transaction is an asset sale, and the facility or property is not required for the buyer’s proposed use. Known environmental liabilities and ongoing remedial obligations are typically captured in negotiated seller-retained liabilities, purchase price reductions, indemnities, escrows or reserves. If environmental sampling and media analysis is allowed but not feasible in the due diligence timeframe, post-closing adjustments or escrows
might be negotiated and then released, pending the results of post-closing due diligence. PLL policies (with or without coverage for affected third parties) typically exclude known contamination. However, the buyer has the option to purchase liability transfer or risk-sharing products once the risk is quantified via sampling and analysis. Call In the Experts Many midstream operators forgo the assistance of outside environmental consultants. They may want to reconsider, especially if the buyer is a publicly traded company. Qualified environmental advisors provide an impartial third-party evaluation of the known and potential environmental liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. They are familiar with the nuances of national, state and local regulations, skilled in site investigation techniques, and generate remedial cost estimates and regulatory compliance evaluations in the course of their daily business. They are insured, licensed, and should have standing or affiliation with a nationally recognized firm. Despite the significant challenges of environmental due diligence for midstream natural gas assets, successful results are within reach for the prudent midstream operator.

MIDSTREAM FOCUS
CASE STUDY - Kinder Morgan August 30, 2012 Kinder Morgan, an energy company, laid a 42” high-pressure natural gas line through Muskingum County, Ohio during September of 2011. The line was placed at 20 to 30 ft. below the grade on a 15-20% slope in rural and remote locations. The area where the gas line was laid made mobilization of equipment and material difficult, time consuming and expensive. Traditional drainage tile with aggregate was used to backfill and catch the weeping water. In November and December of 2011 several of the hillsides slipped. The cleanup crew noticed the drain tile was being crushed under the weight of the hillside. The Kinder Morgan contractor, Kendrick Excavation, introduced HydroBlox as a replacement on Aug 24, 2012. While excavating the slope, Kendrick Excavating identified the subsurface water sources and installed HydroBlox in the pattern established the pattern as seen in the pictures below. The site was then reinstated with the native backfill. There was no aggregate or geotextile used on or around the HydroBlox installation. Given the difficult nature of transporting aggregate and the speed that the HydroBlox was installed, a considerable amount of time and money was realized. November 2012 Hurricane Sandy dropped near 4 inches of rain on the site and out of curiosity Kendrick went back to the site and the drainage was working as planned. HydroBlox is made from post consumer plastic, which has been tested and proven to be environmentally safe. HydroBlox has a higher drainage capacity that aggregate and the open surface area is over twenty times that of perforated pipe. HydroBlox transports the water through capillary action. The open pores of HydroBlox are smaller in diameter than the fine, thus the open cells cannot become clogged. The light weight of HydroBlox and ease of material handling make HydroBlox an excellent choice for remote applications. While HydroBlox is lightweight (twelve pounds per plank), HydroBlox is extremely strong. HydroBlox will carry over 102 tons per square foot. The water transfer rate is .8 gallons per square foot per second. The dimensions of a plank of HydroBlox are 40”x9”x2”. HydroBlox offers fast and simple installation of an environmentally friendly 100% recycled product that is a proven long-term solution for drainage and slope stabilization. For more technical information, please contact Ed Grieser @ 724-612-2475 or email at ed@hydroblox.com HydroBlox National Distributor: Greg Savisky Pittsburgh, PA, 724 712-3043
THE PROBLEM - drainage tile failed
THE SOLUTION - HydroBlox installed in the ditch along the pipeline and ditch wall

Selling Your Services in the Shale Gas Market By Ed Becker, Chris Stroyne, TheMarcellusShale.com and TheUticaShale.com
How do you visualize the big picture economic impact of the shale gas industry on our region? Throw a pea-sized pebble into a quiet stream and watch the outer rings roll out from a center point. The small ripples give a snapshot of the shale gas impact from two years ago. Now, throw a cinder block into the same stream. The resulting wake gives you a better idea of how the shale gas industry’s impact has reverberated outwards both geographically and economically.
The Long and Winding Path of Gas Development UPSTREAM
MIDSTREAM
DOWNSTREAM
Further out from the central point there are more specialized needs that may not be as obvious. Administrative staffing firms, engineering companies, accounting firms and many other traditional “white-collar” services are equally essential in the overall operational support of an energy corporation. Finally, the outer ring of supporting companies such as hotels, transportation services, restaurants and web design firms are all in the path of the shale gas sector reach. Securing a vendor contract with a large energy company has obvious rewards. Depending on the products or services provided, a small business can tap into a continuously growing revenue stream through a successful vendor relationship.
Exploration & Production
Transportation & Refining/Processing
Distribution & Retail Sale
The water analogy fits the conventional three “stream” phases commonly used to explain the natural gas production development life cycle. It starts from the literal hole in the ground where the gas is captured and encompasses the entire process to points of distribution. First, there is the “upstream” phase describing the exploration and retrieval of gas or oil from a physical location. This would be understood as the gas well site where the drilling activity occurs. Next, the “mid-stream” process technically begins at the well site and encompasses services such as transporting, treating, processing and storage of natural gas liquid. Finally, the “downstream” phase involves the selling and distribution of the natural gas. Each of these three key phases is a specialized industry unto itself. Just as the wake ripples outward from a single point of impact, so, too, does the need for a broad and diverse set of specialized companies providing niche products or services each step along the way. The types of ancillary businesses and services used by large energy corporations are far reaching. Using the wake analogy, companies such as Chesapeake and Range Resources need an immediate network of vendors to provide on-site services such as excavators, landscapers, security personnel, catering companies and truckers.
Small excavating companies with only a few employees five years ago often double their inventory and hire more staff after acquiring a lucrative contract. A little-known landscaping service in a small community may suddenly get job offers from surrounding states if that landscaper can become a recognized, dependable vendor within the industry.
Finding the right key to the right door The first challenge for the business owner who wants to work with an energy company is simply to know how to make critical connections with the right decision makers who can initiate the vendor process. It is generally agreed that simple networking is the key to a foot in the door. Exhibiting or simply attending an industry trade show can be an excellent (although often costly) way to connect with the key energy players within these companies. Another option is advertising in widely read trade magazines or energy publications. James R. Daley, Director of the Natural Gas & Energy Program for Greenhorne & O’Mara Consulting Engineers, says his company found a relatively low-cost, highreturn strategy. “One of the things we did early on was to get involved in some of the independent oil and gas associations. If you join some of these organizations and get on some of their committees you will be working with people in the industry,” says Daley. “Moreover, these associations hold conferences and seminars, which is a perfect place to network with decision makers at these energy companies.”

Industr y Insight What are the challenges of becoming a vendor with an energy company? If the rewards of getting a contract with a high profile oil or gas company are impressive, the challenges to secure a contract are equally imposing. It is a complex, costly, time-intensive process to become a vendor and it ultimately comes down to an absolute fact—the energy company must have a need for a specific service. Mindy Walls, Senior Director of Corporate Development for Chesapeake Energy, recently talked to a group of business owners about the procurement process. “The most important thing that I can impart on you today is to understand that in order for Chesapeake to begin the Master Service Agreement (MSA) process--which is where it all begins—we must have a proven, operational need to add a vendor for that service,” explained Walls. “Chesapeake will not go out and ask you to engage in the expense of going through our MSA process if we do not believe that we have work for you.”
Mindy Walls, Senior Director of Corporate Development for Chesapeake Energy, shares the best strategies for companies to secure a vendor relationship within the shale gas industry.
Walls said that currently, the Utica shale play, at least for Chesapeake, is where the greatest need for vendors can be found. Getting to the right person is the lynchpin to the process. She said there is one way to never try, but there are two other strategies that are more effective. “Whatever you do, don’t drive out to a gas well site hoping to give a sales presentation about your company,” she cautions. “It will absolutely never happen that way. Instead, I suggest that you network by going to events, seminars, or any venue where you have a good chance to meet key connections within a gas company.” Walls also explained that Chesapeake has an online resource for the company owner who wants to get on their radar. She suggested completing the vendor registration form located at AskChesapeake.com. “As it states on the web page, your information is put into a potential vendor database, which is frequently accessed by our sourcing teams to identify a variety of suppliers that could fulfill a current business need. A Chesapeake team member will contact you should such an opportunity become available.” A critical point to keep in mind is that filling out the registration form does not initiate the MSA application process; however, the MSA application process would be the next critical step if a vendor’s services could potentially fill a procurement need.
Walls said it takes a lot of work for a company to clear the bar and to become a vendor in the industry. However, the need for specialized products and services continues to grow as the demand for shale gas production ripples throughout the world. Learning more about the shale gas industry and making key connections are critical to catching the economic waves from this sector.

SAFETY ON THE JOB 2012 In Review: Using The Past To Change The Future Over the past year I have had the opportunity to write for ONG Marketplace, bringing to its readers attention the importance of several safety issues facing the natural gas industry. We have discussed several topics ranging from hearing protection and FR clothing to snake bites and dangerous driving conditions. It is my hope that these monthly installments are beneficial to the reader, and at the very least, remind supervisors and workers alike to think twice before entering or putting themselves or someone else into a dangerous situation. I would like to begin this month’s article by saying that I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, and that the upcoming year is a good one. This month’s article will outline the importance of doing an annual review and audit of all safety rules and practices within your organization, as well of the importance of looking back at any and all of the accidents or near misses that have been reported over the last year. Equally important to the review process is looking into what ideas and procedures have worked for your company over the last year. It is important to see where you have been in order to get a good idea of where you are going.
should always be to create the safest working environment and conditions possible for all employees. A good first step would be to create a safety committee that not only includes supervisors but also general employees. Make sure to create an atmosphere that allows for the free exchange of ideas, and where employees can bring their safety concerns without the fear of retribution. From this point, the development of a good safety plan will depend on the needs and applications of your organization. If you already have a safety plan in place, there is always room for improvement. Administering a self-audit is the best course of action for annually reviewing your safety plan. Look at any and all accidents that have occurred over the past year, recordable or not, and try to determine what part of your plan could be adjusted to avoid a similar accident in the future. If your organization has not had any accidents occur, it is still important to audit your safety procedures to see where positive adjustments can be made.

As you begin to reflect on the past year, the first thing to look at is whether or not there is a safety plan in place. If no safety plan exists, it is very important that one be created. Without standard operating safety procedures for an emergency, and everyday operations, not only are you left susceptible to accidental injury, it can also create confusion in the event of an emergency. The strategic goal of this plan

THE NORTHEAST ONG MARKETPLACE As you begin to review the safety issues you have faced in 2012, try to connect each incident with its root cause. This is the easy part. The safety issue is the reaction, what was the action that caused it? This could be a faulty piece of equipment, an issue with your safety plan, or an employee that simply doesn’t follow the rules. Whatever the root cause may be, if it is not addressed as soon as possible then it is only a matter of time before it happens again. Replacing faulty equipment, adjusting your safety procedures or terminating an employee with a bad attitude before an accident occurs is much easier than cleaning up the mess after the fact. Once the root cause of any issue you have had is defined, making sure the same type of accident doesn’t happen again is as easy as changing your procedures. You can’t keep every accident from happening, but doing everything you can to try is always the best practice. Along with defining the root causes of the safety issues you have faced in 2012, attempt to break down the issues to the specific application where they took place. For example, if you are a testing company, try to determine if you had more accidents in the lab, on your loading dock or in the field. By defining what branch of your organization has the most issues, you can then begin to work out the solutions to the issues you are facing. This will also help to increase awareness to what parts of your business need the most help. Now that you have reviewed what problems you have faced over the past year, take time to review where and when a change was made that created a safer environment. If you have implemented a hearing safety program and are noticing a decline in work-related hearing problems, take note and notify workers of the improvement. Pointing out when safety implementations have been successful is one of

the best ways to show workers that changing habits and following guidelines really will create positive change. Calling a meeting to discuss with workers what positive effects any new procedures have had is also a good time to discuss any new rules or procedures that will be implemented next. So, now that you have reviewed your safety issues, your safety guidelines, and all of the positive implementations from the past 12 months, now what? The final piece of this puzzle is the most important of all, act on the information you have collected. If you found a hole in a safety guideline, change the procedure. If you have an employee that doesn’t follow the rules and could hurt himself or someone else, get rid of them. If you have a piece of equipment that is in bad shape and could hurt someone on your site, replace it. Any organization can have a standard operating procedure for safety, but the difference is made in the implementation and the actions of the people in charge. By taking the time to carefully review your safety practices, procedures and rules you can not only save the lives of every person working your site, but also your own. Safety is a very important part of our industry, and with good reason. Take the time, be honest with the information and do what you can to make changes to be proactive, and 2013 might just be your organization’s safest year yet. For more information on how to develop or improve your company’s safety plan, please visit the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s website at www.OSHA.gov.
