DRIVING IN THE SNOW 1860’s STYLE Traveling in the oil patch when the industry started was a REAL challenge! Initially, there were no roads or the roads were so poor that the waterways were the best way to travel. Winter always adds to the work load. By the spring of 1861, transporting oil was itself an important trade. There were over a thousand teams wading through the mud hauling barrels of oil plus barrel rafts and flat-boats. Four horses dragged the flatboats up Oil Creek after they had delivered their oil to bigger craft on the Allegheny. These boats brought coal or empty barrels up from Pittsburgh then hauled oil back. Wells were drilled near the waterways so the oil could be transported to refineries. The smallest boat was the "guiper", scow-shaped and open, it held 2550 barrels. The "French Creekers" held 1,000-1,200 barrels and were either bulkboats or barges carrying barrels. Steamboats, or keelboats when the river was too low for steamboats, dragged them back up from Pittsburgh. The flatboats (keelboats) were decked over and held 80 – 100 barrels and charged $0.70 - $1 per barrel for shipping.
"As we passed down the creek, the weather was intensely cold, and the ice was floating down in large masses, but the unhappy horses had to wade up with their heavy loads, their bodies partially clad in icy coats of mail, and their tails mere bunches of icicles." In January of 1864 several boats on the Allegheny River were icebound. Besides the Ida Rees, the Cottage was ice bound at Jacob’s Eddy twenty miles below Franklin, the LeClaire at Brady’s Bend, the Advance No. 2 and two steam towboats at Kittanning and a number of oil boats. The following April saw these and their rivals all running but by early May, the water was too low. The Urilla ran aground between Franklin and Oil City. In March, 1865, it rained hard for several days causing the ice flow to rip up and carry away tank farms at Oil City and the bridges down the river. The estimated damage was five million dollars. The following spring there was a sudden rise of water on Oil Creek as the rain fell and the ice began to break. A half dozen oil boats were torn from their moorings and swept by current and dashed to pieces. Only two were saved which landed below the railroad bridge in Titusville. Ice backed up on the bridge flooding the basements and first floors of houses on Franklin Street. The ice took out the Funkville bridge and carried it a few rods then gorged it. There was another ice gorge at the Sherman Well so water backed up and took out some derricks and engine houses. About 8pm, that ice gorge moved taking out a couple houses, a two hundred barrel tank with oil, two other tanks with three hundred fifty barrels of oil. The Oil Creek Railroad bridge abutments were badly damaged. Oil City suffered the results an ice gorge on the Allegheny which broke at 4:30. The bridge was swept away, three houses demolished and fifty boats were crushed by the jam. The tow boat General Irwin was turned completely over, crushed and sunk. One person drowned.

Business Profile
By Ed Becker, TheUticaShale.com
Beynon & Company is a real estate and insurance firm with deep roots in western Pennsylvania. Created more than a century ago by Richard Beynon, the company primarily served the central business district in Pittsburgh. Today, thanks in part to the shale gas play, the company has spread its services throughout the tri-state area.
The company offers full property management consulting services with individuals and corporations. Their specialties include property valuation, commercial sales and leases, feasibility studies, commercial leasing, and land assemblages, as well as cash-flow analyses to determine anticipated returns on real estate investment.
The shale gas industry continues to be an extremely robust part of the company’s clientele. Many people from the tri-state area have warehouses or properties they want to sell or lease to those companies looking to become established in the region. R.T. Walker’s role is to help connect these buyers and sellers in this industry.
“I got a call from a pipe company five years ago and I showed them some properties down on Neville Island. I learned this company straightened drilling pipe. I then took a road trip throughout the Texas countryside outside of Houston to get a first-hand account about the gas industry. I just knocked on doors and talked to gas companies to see what type of facilities they were operating. My goal was to learn about their needs in terms of buildings and properties. I realized these companies would be looking for the same type of facilities in Pennsylvania as the industry attracted workers. Our goal was to position Beynon & Co as a front runner and to that degree we succeeded.”
“We’re getting calls from all over Pennsylvania as well as from outlying areas in Ohio and West Virginia. One overriding factor is that companies realize this shale gas industry is not going anywhere. It is here to stay. That translates into more property sales or long-term leases as businesses decide to make our area their home base. Tenants have warehouses or buildings they want to put out there on the market. Companies want to find these properties.”
The challenge is finding buildings or property that meets the needs for many of these companies involved in the gas arena. Beynon and Company is working closely with developers to help accommodate the buyers.
“This is where our expertise comes in as we try to connect them to the right tenants. They’re looking for a whole range of facilities such as office space or a five thousand square foot garage. Typically, I’d say buyers in this industry are looking for ten to twenty thousand square foot properties. Right now the key demand is warehouses that have yard space.”
Yard space is a new term not totally familiar here in our area mainly because in western Pennsylvania, if you have ground, you typically build on it. Companies that have large fleets of trucks or construction vehicles need space to park their 18-wheeler trucks and a place to take them inside to work on them. One example might be manufacturers of valves for pump stations. Some of these valves can be the size of a car. The company may need to keep 10 or 20 of these valves in stock, so that translates

into needing a lot of extra yard space.
Southpointe in Washington County has become the defacto home to many of these businesses operating in the shale gas industry. Beynon and Company found a developer from Philadelphia who is purchasing the last remaining eight acres that are available in Southpointe. They will be building 362 high-end apartments and condos located right in the center of Southpointe. This residential unit will be higher end housing mainly for oil and gas executives, or any of the number of 30, 000 workers out at Southpointe on a daily basis. The goal is to have it completed by early 2014.
“I’ve been spending a lot of time in Ohio lately. As long as the shale gas industry is here to stay—and every indication is that it will be so—there will be tenants who want to sell or lease their properties and there are buyers looking for those facilities. That is our expertise at Beynon and Co. and as long as that need is there we will be providing our services to our clients.”

The bridge was swept away, three houses demolished and fifty boats were crushed by the jam. The tow boat General Irwin was turned completely over, crushed and sunk. One person drowned.

“Natural Gas has been very good to this local company”
Pittsburgh Office When Total Equipment Company (TEC) was started 30 years ago, the only thing we knew about natural gas was we used it to operate our stoves for cooking. Now, natural gas has positively influenced our business in dramatic ways.
Total Equipment Company was established in 1982 as an industrial pump and compressor supplier. Our heritage was based in the steel manufacturing industries like Armco Steel, US Steel, Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel, Weirton Steel, ATI and many others. Over the last 30 years, the steel industry has undergone many changes but it is still an integral part of our business. As the steel industry went through a stressful period in 2001-2011, TEC developed a long range plan to diversify into other industries. That charted the course for TEC to investigate and respond to the energy and the municipal waste water treatment industries. Our rational was “you can’t import energy and you can’t export human waste”. At that time, out focus on energy was for coal mining and coal fired power generation. Since then, power generation has become one of the largest industries we support.
While the municipal waste water treatment did not provide significant growth, what we learned we applied to the needs of the industrial waste water treatment industry. Pittsburgh has a fairly large compliment of industrial waste water treatment OEM and EPC type firms. TEC has supplied equipment for major projects through Siemens water, Veolia, Chester Engineers and E&C Management.
Both of these new industries prepared TEC for the next wave of opportunities: Natural gas.
Our core competency of pumps and compressors is at the heart of the natural gas industry. For pumping, TEC saw new opportunities for water pumping. This included stationary and diesel engine driven water pumps for the water supply to the drilling and completions operations. We even added a large rental fleet of Gorman Rupp diesel pumps. New local companies like Fluid Delivery Solutions and Weiklel Engineering rely on TEC to provide rental pumps and service when needed.
The flow back and produced water associated created new opportunities for the waste water treatment area of the gas industry. TEC has been successful in supplying equipment for these needs as well. New water treatment operations in Clarion and Fairmont use pumps supplied by TEC. When water treatment was passed over for disposal into injection wells, TEC has the right product. Working with HDR and Heckman Water Resources, we supplied National Oilwell Varco plunger pumps.
West Virginia Office As the mid stream infrastructure is built, TEC has benefited as well. Gas processing facilities operated by Dominion, Markwest, Williams, and XTO each have pumps or compressors supplied by TEC. In order to become a supplier to these locations we had to learn new business requirements including getting on ISNet and establishing MSA’s (Master Service Agreements).
The “Wet Gas” region of the Marcellus Shale play has lots of liquids that can be separated and marketed. All of these liquids need to be pumped. As TEC learned about the unique fluids involved (methane, ethane, propane, butane, natural gasoline, etc) we established business relationships with equipment manufacturers that are well recognized by the oil & gas market including Schlumberger, Corken, Blackmer and National Oilwell Varco. I remember the first time I heard a client talking about C1, C2, C3, C3+; I had no idea what he was referring to. I do now!
All of these operations use compressed air for instrument air and other uses. TEC has been successful in packaging this machinery in new ways (on skids and in containers) to meet the industry needs. We have had to learn to work with new electrical codes, new area classifications, and new piping codes. By learning the requirements of these codes we have been able to satisfy the quality, reliability, and safety needs of the gas industry.
The future is bright and the avenues for new opportunities are still being explored. As the infrastructure for the CNG Vehicle market is built out, TEC stands ready with a large contingent of experienced reciprocating compressor technicians. Our machine shop is quite experienced overhauling large reciprocating pumps as well that are integral to the frac process. In addition, based on our large fleet of service vehicles and the amount of gasoline they use, we are currently investigating the construction and operation of a CNG Fueling Station to be based in Coraopolis.

OILFIELD HUMOR
The Tool Pusher suspected his wife was not hearing as well as she used to, and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem.
The doctor told him there is a simple informal test the tool pusher could perform to give the doctor a better idea about her hearing loss. "Here's what you do," said the doctor. "Stand about 40 feet away from her and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response. That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He said to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away. Let's see what happens.” In a normal tone he asked, "Honey, what's for dinner?"
No response... So the tool pusher moved ten feet closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife, and repeated, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Still no response... Next he moved into the dining room where he was about 20 feet from his wife and asked, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again, no response... Then he walked up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?"
Again, there was no response... So he walked right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?" She spins around and yell's " BOB! FOR THE FIFTH TIME!... WE'RE HAVING STEAK!"

SAFETY ON THE JOB
Winter Road Conditions: You Are At Risk For most of the Oil and Gas industry, daily travel is as much a part of the job as replacing a valve, capping a well or doing filter change-outs. With fall in full swing, and winter fast approaching, it is important to be prepared for the dangers that Mother Nature will be creating on the roads for the next few months. Whether you are new to the area and don’t have much experience with icy and snowy roads, or if you have seen it all when it comes to adverse road conditions, you are at risk of seriously injuring yourself or others if you are not prepared to drive on snow and ice. The following article will outline danger zones, warning signs, safety tips for driving in winter weather conditions, as well as a few other dangers that the Marcellus/Utica regions present this time of year. It is easy to watch the news and think that things like tsunamis, hurricanes and tornados are weather’s most deadly forces, but the fact is that snow and freezing rain are the worst offenders when it comes to weather-related killers. The table below shows statistics on just how dangerous winter weather related accidents can be.
reading “Bridge Ices Before Road” are absolutely true, and should be closely paid attention to. The threat with ice on bridges and overpasses is that they often catch drivers by surprise. Drivers traveling at full speed, on an otherwise clear dry road, can suddenly be on a patch of ice and the consequences are generally catastrophic. The reason that the bridges will freeze before the roads is that both sides of the road surface are being cooled by the air, whereas a normal road surface is only being cooled on one side. The difference in the surface temperature of a bridge can be as much as 8 to 10 degrees colder than the surface temperature of the road, which can lead to sudden, surprising icy patches.
There are several other road icing “danger zones” that you should also be aware of. Steep hills, high speed roadways and curves are all areas where friction between the rubber and the road is easily lost, usually leading to some type of accident. Although high-traffic roads are very dangerous due to the fact that cars often end up losing control in the same spot, low-traffic roads are also one of our danger zones. These lesser traveled roads are often overlooked by plow crews, and generally allow for snow and ice to accumulate more easily. Be especially careful of highway exit ramps, parking lots, driveways and rural roads. Other danger zones include, but are not limited to, areas where ground water runoff is present, tunnels, acceleration spots, mountainous regions, and cobblestone

It is important to be aware of dropping temperatures, no matter where you live or work. Anywhere that temperatures can drop below freezing, which is technically all of North America, is at risk for road icing during winter. It is also very important to keep in mind that no vehicle is immune to the effects of icy/snowy roads, it takes very little rain or snow to create these hazards, and no matter what you think, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE SKILL TO DRIVE ON ICY ROADS AT NORMAL SPEEDS. Two of the largest factors in serious or fatal crashes are overconfidence in driving skills and overconfidence in the vehicle’s safety features. Snow tires, four-wheel drive and traction control are all very helpful features for a vehicle, but no vehicle will have enough traction on ice to avoid loss of control. Some people may also think they have enough experience with winter driving to continue at or above the speed limit, but a fish tale at highway speeds is usually unrecoverable by even the most quick-witted and skilled drivers. DANGER ZONES There are several dangerous areas or “danger zones”, that most snow/ice related accidents take place. The most common and dangerous of these areas? You guessed it, bridges and overpasses. That’s right, those signs on the side of the road

or brick pavement. It is important to remember that there are several places where a combination of two or more of these hazards can exist. For example, a curved highway off-ramp in a mountainous area will likely have an increased risk for crashes during winter weather.
rious damage to vehicles, as well as serious injury or even death to drivers. If you do strike a deer on any road, do not attempt to remove the carcass from the roadway yourself. Contact local authorities, as trying to clear the road yourself could result in serious injury or death.
If there is ever an instance where you do have an accident, there are a few do’s and don’ts to keep in mind. If your vehicle is still drivable, keep moving to a safe area to pull over. Remember, with icy conditions, the next car down the road could hit the same patch of ice and cause further damage or injuries. If the car is disabled, remain inside the vehicle until there is no traffic approaching, then carefully move to an area where you will be protected should another vehicle lose control. These areas could be up an embankment or behind a guardrail or jersey barrier. Do not get out of your vehicle and remain on the road. The first instinct of many drivers is to get out and inspect the damage, which often leads to fatal secondary accidents. The damage will still be there to inspect once you get to a safe area.
If you are new to driving in these types of weather conditions, hopefully this article will give you some insight as to what to expect and how to handle difficult driving situations. If you do have experience driving in these weather conditions, this article should serve as a reminder that in the fight between man and nature, nature will always win. No matter your experience level, you are at risk.
WARNING SIGNS You don’t need to be a meteorologist to know the warning signs of dangerous winter weather/driving conditions. There are a few easy ways to know whether or not there will be a risk for icy conditions during your trip. The number one and easiest thing to do is to be aware of current and upcoming weather. Before you leave the house office or worksite, check the weather report. If your car has a built-in external temperature display, check it frequently throughout your drive. Any type of precipitation when temperatures are close to or below freezing will be your biggest warning to beware of icy conditions. Ice or snow sticking to your car is another clear indication that ice could be forming on roads or bridges, as is ice or snow sticking to elevated objects such as light poles, guardrails and utility poles. Although these are good ways to be prepared, there may still be icy conditions on the road if these signs do not present themselves.
OTHER SEASONAL DANGERS In the Marcellus and Utica areas, there are a few other natural dangers that exist this time of year that all drivers should be on the lookout for. Fallen leaves are a serious hazard, especially this time of year when they are present on most surfaces. Fallen leaves on the road can be just as dangerous as ice, and should be treated with just as much caution. Deer in our area can also be a big problem this time of year. Deer are often startled into jumping into the road and can cause se-
SAFETY TIPS The following safety tips are easy to remember and could save your life in the event you are stuck driving in adverse weather conditions. The best way to avoid a weather related accident is to stay off the roads until driving conditions improve. If you must drive, take it slow as high speeds make it very easy to lose control on icy roads. Always wear your seatbelt, it can mean the difference between life and death. Pay attention to the weather conditions, awareness of conditions will help you to be more prepared while driving. The last safety tip to remember is that most icy road accidents happen in multiples. Most of the time in weather related accidents, the biggest danger isn’t your own accident,but the threat other out-ofcontrol drivers making your accident worse. Remember, clearing the road of yourself and your vehicle and contacting emergency response should be the first things to get done if you are ever in an accident on an icy/snowy road.

C O N F R E N C E P R E V I E W - H S E E XC E L L E N C E Answers from Andrew Sharman Director | EHS & Risk Management | Owens-Illnois
What do you think should be included to enforce occupational health and safety?” Enforcing health and safety laws will always be a matter of interpretation – employers interpreting legislative requirements, and regulators interpreting whether there is compliance. Subjectivity will often be aroused, however clear demonstration of commitment, relevant action, monitoring and review will usually be considered positively by any inspection authority. Enforcement then sits as a line of last defence, to motivate those organisations unwilling to take the initiative and proactively manage occupational health & safety.
“How would you go about raising awareness about occupational health and safety?” Occupational Health & Safety is all about people. Therefore we need to consider how we can engage the hearts and minds of our colleagues. Linking ‘staying safe at work’ with the values of the people around us can show how OSH can be an ‘enabler’ – keeping us safe so that we can enjoy time with our families, or doing the sports and activities we love to do.
“Why do you think HSE needs closer examination and how would you recommend companies to do so?” HSE is a marathon, it’s not a sprint, it can be a long road to zero accidents, and there is always work to be done to further improve. Systematic analysis to understand the root cause of accident and ill-health trends and themes is essential first. From here, engaging workers to help identify pragmatic solutions can be productive next steps. Looking at how HSE can support and bring synergistic benefit to other organizational disciplines, such as Quality or Productivity, can help to ‘weave’ HSE into the fabric of the organization, making it ‘art of the way we do things around here’, and embedding core values into the culture of a business. “What advice do you have to enhance occupational health and safety?” In my mind, there are four core elements necessary: Commitment from the top; clarity of Leadership throughout the organization; Engagement of all employees; and sustained active Participation on OSH that brings management and workers together with a unified objective.
“What are you most looking forward to at HSE Excellence: Journey to Goal Zero?” This conference has an incredible selection of speakers who lead their industries and professions so there will be lots of great ideas and constructive thinking. Beyond this, I’m looking forward to some provocative debate and discussion – between the speakers, and also within the delegate cohort. We’re sure to have a high level of cultural, geographical and industrial diversity too, which will ensure this conference is at the cutting edge, as we all work together to shape the future of Health & Safety at work.
Answers from Dr. Steve Lerman Occupational Health Manager | ExxonMobil
Why do you think managing fatigue is important?” Excess fatigue is known to impact alertness, vigilance and decision-making. This in turn increases the risk of errors that can contribute to safety, health or environmental incidents. There is growing awareness in a variety of industries that managing fatigue is an important component of a compre-
hensive program to prevent safety, health and environmental incidents
“If you could improve the situation in the workplace currently in managing fatigue risk, what would it be and why?” Traditionally, attempts to manage fatigue have primarily focused on designing work schedules to allow sufficient time to rest. However, the most efficient and effective approach to managing fatigue risk is through a comprehensive Fatigue Risk Management System. The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) issued a Guidance Statement on Fatigue Risk Management in the Workplace that describes the key components of such a management system.
”What are you most looking forward to at HSE Excellence: Journey to Goal Zero?” Clearly there is no single discipline, industry or company that has all of the answers in incident prevention. Forums such as HSE Excellence: Journey to Goal Zero provide the opportunity to meet and learn from many people with different backgrounds and experiences. As an example, much of the work in fatigue management has been done is the transportation industries, but it is now being applied in a growing number of settings.

Deliver Gas Efficiently And With Less Enviromental Impact
Effectivee Optimization of Compressor Station Operation
Compressor stations at the start of the gas delivery chain, e.g. wellhead, gathering and booster stations, employ internal combustion engines as the power source. The fan in the cooling system is usually coupled directly to the engine and the engine speed determines the cooling capacity. With the Voith TurboCool, it is possible to control the fan's speed. This makes it easy to adjust the cooling to the actual requirement.
The major benefits of TurboCool: • High availability - Prevention of overcooling / overheating - No manual adjustment of fan pitch necessary • Greater productivity - Increased gas production, up to 400,000 SCFD - Lower service / maintenance expenses as a result of protecting the driveline + Environmental benefits - CO2 emissions lowered by as much as 500 kg per day - Reduced fan noise Position of TurboCool in a compressor station
•
• Remote, not readily accessible, especially in winter • Self-contained alone unit without a 3 phase power source • Until now, cooling capacity was adjusted manually by pitch control and additionally by louver control • Previously, frequent downtime due to overheating or freezing of the cooling circuit •Compressor: Ariel JGK 4/3 3-stage; adjustable cylinder head pockets. Engine: Waukesha 7044 GSI 1680 HP Fan: Air-X-Changers 132 F2
Results after the first two months • A temperature of 80 °C (176 °F) for the cooling water (engine jacket water set point) was taken as the controlled variable and maintained during operation. • In the first month, the average fan speed was reduced by 52 %; in the second month, by 36.5 % of maximum output. • The result: a reduction in CO2 emissions of almost 40,000 tons. • During these two months, an increased output of 265,000 SCFD would have been possible. • This corresponds to increased revenue of $63600 in only two months (calculated on the basis of 30 pumping days / month and a price of $4 per thousand SCF)
“Thanks to the TurboCool we reduced the downtime of our compressor station significantly. The system enables us to automatically adjust the fan speed and therefore cooling power to our frequently changing ambient conditions.” Dave Linn, Manager Compressor Engineering, WBIP
Higher Availability And Productivity
TurboCool Tested Successfully
Facts about the system • Location: Williston Basin, Baker, Montana (USA) • Temperature fluctuation from -25 °C to +35 °C (-13 °F to +95 °F)
High degree of system availability Controlling the fan’s speed protects the system against freezing and overheating as well as the associated damage that results. This increases system availability. Manual adjustment of the fan blades as the seasons change is no longer necessary. Cooling adjusts easily to brief and unforeseen tempature fluctuations. Continued e

Uninterrupted production By operating at a controlled, lower speed (below the maximum design point), the fan is quieter. Noise emissions are reduced. It is thus possible to operate compressor stations close to residental and other noise sensitive areas - even at night.
Protects the driveline As in every hydrodynamic coupling, there is no mechanical connection between the input and the output in the TurboCool. Power is transmitted by a fluid that also dampens torque oscillations. Torque peaks that occur during an emergency shutdown or when starting the equipment are significantly reduced, protecting the entire driveline. Belt slipping is prevented, thereby avoiding unforeseen equipment downtime due to belt wear or belt failure.
Basic Principles And Specifications
Hydrodynamic power transmission In a hydrodynamic coupling, the mechanical energy introduced is transmitted by a fluid. This involves two vaned wheels positioned opposite one another. The primary wheel is connected with the engine or motor and acts as a pump, the secondary wheel is connected with the fan and acts as a turbine. • Wear-free power transmission • No mechanical linkage • Simple adjustment of the transmission ratio • Continuously variable speed • Damps vibrations and torque surges • Millions of units in operation with proven reliability
