O&G: UPSTREAM
A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS: DRILLING IN THE UTICA By: Adam Larson, Staff Writer, Shale Media Group As 2015 is winding down, operators in eastern Ohio’s Utica Shale are still drilling away. At this point in time, when it comes to drilling, they are following a straightforward recipe. Selecting a well location takes an army of geologists and reservoir engineers – not to mention a swarm of landmen and women to pin down large plots of acreage. Acquiring the land is the hard part. Drilling the wells comes easier. Nestled in the Ohio country, both the lease road and pad are carved out by third party excavation crews. In fact, the entire job site is bustling with third party companies that are specialized in a niche element of the drilling process. Two-thirds of the pad is covered with containment. The cellar is dug with an 8-10 foot diameter, which allows for the production tree to be accessible at surface. Along with the cellar, the conductor pipe is installed, ranging with a fairly small diameter of 20 inches. The pipe is nudged down 50-100 feet deep, provides initial wellbore stabilization, and is essentially used to rig up on when drilling rig is mobilized. All in all, if you were to look at an aerial snapshot of the pad, there’s an orchestrated symphony of equipment. Trailers, the actual rig, drill pipe, mud pumps, gas busters, shale shakers, centrifuges, air compressors, and generators scatter the pad. Depending on the operator and job site, different sized rigs are used, which all leverage technology in some fashion, as the driller sits in the rig’s doghouse, observing 4-5 monitors, the screens filled with pressures, rate of penetrations (ROP), torque, weight on bit, and pump stroke length. Some of the rigs actually “walk” from well to well. Modern shale gas resources allow for the implementation of horizontal drilling, creating a pad with as many as eight wells. With this in mind, newer rig technology can be a useful tool in driving efficiencies in a tight commodity price environment, as the rig can “walk” within less than 30 minutes. Simplifying things, when drilling a well, the hole diameter starts wide at the surface and ends narrow at the well’s toe. Drilling takes place in intervals: the conductor, surface, intermediate, and production phases. Boiling the process down, third party companies will drill, place casing, pump down cement, and repeat until desired depth is reached. Vertically, the surface phase is placed with 133/8” diameter casing at about 500 – 600 feet. The intermediate phase employs 95/8” diameter casing at about 1,800 – 2,500 feet. And, the production phase typically uses 5½” diameter casing at about 6,500 – 7,500 feet and continues into the horizontal all the way to the toe.
While meeting this desired footage vertically, the kickoff point (KOP) is reached and the drill bit starts to slowly build the curve of the well. An entirely different third party contractor’s sole job is to build the curve, land the curve, and drill the lateral. It takes about 15-24 hours to drill and land the curve at a slow ROP of 80-100 feet/hour. When transitioning into the lateral, an average of 300-400 feet/hour is typical, as total time varies with measured depth (MD) of the well. The MD of a well can range anywhere between 14-17,000 feet, as operators continually extend their laterals as it becomes more cost efficient. Likewise to the beginning of the KOP, the entire lateral is wrapped with production casing. In the modern shale gas age, directional drilling is nailed to a science. Conventional directional drilling, also known as slide drilling, is done by drilling with a mud motor rotating the bit downhole without rotating the drillstring from the surface. However, a growing number of operators are taking advantage of a hotter piece of directional drilling technology called a rotary steerable system (RSS). RSS utilizes specialized downhole equipment, which replace mud motors. Altogether, RSS can be used to drill directionally with continuous rotation from the surface, eliminating the “sliding” of a mud motor. Lastly, one of the most critical parts of the drilling process is the mud and drilling fluids circulation system. Mud is pushed down the borehole for the entire drilling process and is used to cool the drill bit while pushing cuttings up the annulus and to surface. Most of the Utica, depending on the operator, uses synthetic oil based mud (SOBM) that is more biodegradable and environmentally friendly opposed to other types of mud. For the production string, approximately 73-75 barrels of drilling fluid is needed. The sheer volume of drilling fluid needed throughout drilling a well is typically the most expensive component compared to other drilling equipment and processes on-site.
October 2015
Page 7
Circulating components include a mud pump, suction line, mud pit, shale shakers, return line, rotary hose, and swivel. Usually the makeup of the fluid includes weighing additives like barite to allow balanced drilling at increased depths, emulsifiers to disperse insoluble liquids, shale inhibitors to prevent shale swelling, and wetting agents to help move cuttings across the shale shaker. The third party contractor’s mud engineer collects and analyzes mud and cutting samples to get the correct weight and chemistry of what’s going downhole. It takes about 12-15 days to drill a well. After the crew rigs down and moves out (RDMO), the pad is handed off to the completions and hydraulic fracturing crew. With improved efficiencies and technologies, the shale world is constantly changing. *This article is the first in a series of articles looking at the entire upstream process. Future editions of the ONG Marketplace will include articles on completions, construction and facilities, and production in the Upstream section.

O&G: MIDSTREAM
GROWING DEMAND DRIVING RAPID EXPANSION OF WILLIAMS’ G&P PIPELINE NETWORK By: By Joe Horvath, Senior Communicator, Williams Williams is a 107-year-old natural gas infrastructure company that, through its 1995 acquisition of Transco, owns pipeline infrastructure that has been operating in the Northeast United States since the 1950s. At 10,200 miles long, Transco is one of the country’s largest pipeline systems, stretching from Houston to New York City and capable of moving nearly 11 Bcf/d. While Transco is an important part of the company’s portfolio, with the discovery of large natural gas reserves in the Marcellus earlier this century – and more recently, the Utica – Williams is not only working to expand Transco to get the region’s robust supply to gas-hungry markets in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic/ Southeast, but it has also been acquiring, building and upgrading a vast network of gathering and processing infrastructure to serve the region. Williams’ recent history in Northeast – a story of tremendous growth In 2009, through joint ventures and acquisitions, Williams gained a strong midstream presence in the Northeast. From strictly a gathering-and-processing standpoint (that is, excluding Transco), Williams began in the Northeast with only a handful of employees; about 1,000 miles of pipeline; 16 compressor stations with 22 compressor units; and nearly 25,000 horsepower to move about 110 MMcf/d. Since then, the company has gone all-in on its investment here, growing its employee presence and infrastructure substantially. In only about five years – through both acquisitions and organic growth – Williams has built a premier network of midstream infrastructure in the Northeast. In just over five years, Williams has: • More than quadrupled its gathering and processing pipeline mileage in the region, going from 1,000 to nearly 4,200. If uncoiled, this network would span from Bermuda to beyond Anchorage, Alaska, to put this in perspective. • Multiplied horsepower by a factor of 30, from nearly 25,000 in 2010 to more than 735,000 horsepower today. That’s the equivalent of 20.5 Boeing 737500 airliners or five and a half Royal Caribbean cruise liners. • Increased the number of compressor units 15-fold, from 22 to 337. Most importantly, in this region alone, Williams has increased gathering volume from just over 110 MMcf/d to nearly 7 Bcf/d. The natural gas volume Williams touches in the Northeast United States is enough to meet energy demanded by the entire state of California. In fact, it’s enough to meet the total energy demand of 17 other states (CT, DE, HI, ID, KY, MD, ME, MT, NE, NH, NM, OR, RI, SC, SD, VT and WV) and Washington, D.C., combined. Growth drivers Williams believes that this astronomical growth will continue. And that growth is attributable to several factors, including the region’s ability to provide an affordable and abundant natural gas supply (sustained over a sufficient period of time). This, in turn, is fueling demand from various industries, the largest of which is power generation.
Here’s more about what’s driving the transition to natural gas as a baseload fuel for electricity power generation: A more environmentally-friendly fuel source: Natural gas has significantly reduced carbon emissions from power plants and industry, helping the United States reach its lowest carbon levels in nearly a quarter century. Natural gas is also the only clean-burning, low-cost, abundant, reliable and locally produced fuel capable of meeting around-the-clock energy needs. Affordable and abundant natural gas supply: In the early 2000s, the discovery and subsequent production of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale made the cost of natural gas less than the cost of coal for the first time in more than 25 years. More recently, estimates show the Utica shale formation to have greater natural gas reserves than the Marcellus. Supply from these basins has kept the cost of natural gas sufficiently low enough over a sustained period of time to give utilities the confidence they need to base future generation plans on natural gas. Lower-cost, quicker-tobuild power plants: Utilities are also switching to natural gas-fired power stations because they are significantly cheaper to build and can be permitted in less time than coal-fired or nuclear power stations. Consider this example of how relatively quickly and inexpensively a large-scale switch to natural gas-fueled baseload electricity generation can be made: • In 2013, Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (ODEC) announced plans to build a 1,000-megawatt, natural-gas-fired, base load power plant. • ODEC broke ground on Wildcat Point in October 2014, with plans to be operational in 2017 (a total project span of about four years). • In addition to a shorter permitting and construction time frame, the project is estimated to cost $834 million (compared to $4 billion to $6 billion for a coal-fired facility). That means that the natural-gas-fired megawatt costs a fraction of what the coal-fired megawatt would cost. • An additional benefit of building a natural gas power station is that it consumes a much smaller geographic footprint than most, if not all, other forms of power generation. Continued growth: how Williams is helping suppliers get their product to market The need for midstream infrastructure is growing as customers desire local, low-cost

supplies, more natural-gas-fired power plants come online, and as manufacturers demand more natural gas. Since 2011, as part of its normal course of business in the Northeast, Williams has averaged nearly $1 billion in annual capital expenditures on its gathering and processing network. This includes expanding and upgrading the existing gathering and processing infrastructure; making investments to improve safety, reliability and operational performance; and helping E&P customers connect new wells.
Tanks & Domes
In addition to growing systems already in place, some of Williams key upcoming projects – some of which are near completion – include: • The New York Loop – This approximately $35 million project, which is in the permitting phase, includes 10 miles of 16-inch pipeline. It is expected to be operational in 2016. • A Susquehanna, Pa. project that will add 55 miles of pipeline (varying diameters), two compressor stations and nearly 50,000 horsepower to Williams’ Northeast infrastructure. • Expansions of gathering and processing infrastructure of eight distinct systems for several producers, including Cabot, Chevron, Chesapeake, Southwestern, Statoil, Stone Energy, Gastar and Carrizo.
Frac Storage
Williams has a history of employing the best technology and engaging with utility and industrial customers to successfully build safe and efficient infrastructure. Combined with its vast acreage in some of the most – if not the most – prolific natural gas basins in the world, Williams is poised to capitalize on projected demand increases throughout the country.

INDUSTRY INSIGHT
APPLICATIONS OF TELEBRINELLER HARDNESS TESTING IN THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY By: Melanie Boop, Communication Specialist, Aerial Energy Resources, LLC Telebrineller Hardness testing is used to evaluate the strength or hardness of a certain material for quality assurance and material identification purposes. Advantages of Telebrineller Hardness Testing include portability, minimal errors due to steel crystal structure, accuracy, no safety or environmental hazards, and cost effectiveness. It is commonly used for research purposes, determining load bearing capabilities, assessing weld quality, and verifying structural integrity. For the oil and gas industry, Telebrineller Hardness Testing can provide information that is crucial to safe and consistent operations. This nondestructive testing procedure allows for the acquisition of data that can be interpreted and used to determine tensile strength and assess fire damage. Testing Procedure It is important to have a basic understanding of how Telebrineller Hardness Testing is performed in order to comprehend its applications. Before beginning the test, the surface of the object being tested must be cleaned and prepared. Then, a reference or test bar is selected. The Telebrineller test will simultaneously place an indent in the reference bar and test object, so the test bar is used as a known reference. For the most accurate calculations, the reference bar should have a hardness within 15 percent of the hardness of the test object. An advantage of the Telebrineller Hardness Test is if the hardness of the test bar is not within 15 percent of the hardness of the test object, the results will not be affected dramatically. This makes it a great test to use on objects in which the material makeup is unknown. To make the impressions, the Telebrineller instrument is placed on the test object, and the anvil is hit with a heavy hammer. This will cause an indentation in the reference bar and test object. The next step is to measure the diameter of the indentations with the Telebrineller microscope. These measurements and the known hardness of the test bar are used to calculate the hardness of the test object. Korri Avenengo, Senior Field Service Engineer, performs Telebrineller Hardness Testing on a part in the AER lab. This portable testing kit is commonly used in field environments because it is lightweight and weather resistant.
Hardness Testing to Determine Tensile Strength The hardness of a material is used to determine the amount of pressure that material can support. The components used to construct pipelines and compressor stations are usually exposed to a large amount of pressure. It is important for oil and gas engineers to ensure the components used to construct pipelines and compressor stations are composed of proper materials in order to prevent failure. A component failing due to improper material selection will be damaging, costly, and hazardous to workers.
There is a linear correlation between material hardness and tensile strength. Tensile strength is the amount of stress a material can withstand before failing. Yield strength and ultimate strength are types of tensile strengths. Yield strength is the amount of stress a material can withstand without causing permanent Telebrineller Hardness Testing is often used to test objects deformation. Ultimate in which the material makeup is unknown because the strength is the reference bar does not need to be within 15 percent of maximum amount the hardness of the test object in order to receive accurate of stress a material calculations. can withstand before breaking. Using Telebrineller Hardness Testing to find a material’s hardness provides information needed to estimate the material’s tensile strength. The chart, Brinell Hardness and Tensile Strength of Materials, is an example of how hardness correlates with strength for various materials (1).

For the oil and gas industry, quality assurance of components in order to prevent failure is necessary. A nondestructive testing technician is able to calculate a material’s tensile strength based off of the hardness found during testing, and from this data they can determine if the component will withstand the pressure experienced during operations. Hardness Testing to Assess Fire Damage Damage to pressure vessels, pipelines, and compressor stations caused by fire can be evaluated with Telebrineller Hardness Testing. It is important to test the hardness of all components affected by fire because the heat from the fire can alter the makeup of the material, making it softer or deformed. If one were to use a component affected by fire, the component may not be able to handle the pressure placed on it and fail. A failed component causes further damage, can be costly, and poses a safety threat to oil and gas workers. This can all be avoided through nondestructive testing for quality assurance using Telebrineller Hardness Testing. When a component is affected by fire, the heat is not evenly distributed. Therefore, the affected component will experience uneven heating and cooling. Some areas of the component may retain its hardness while other areas soften and deform. Even if the component visually seems unaffected by fire, the makeup of the material may still have been affected by the heat and altered.
October 2015 When the makeup of a material is affected by fire, its hardness is also affected. To determine if the material’s makeup has been altered, a simple comparison needs to be made. Nondestructive testing technicians find what the hardness of the material used to construct the component should be. Then, they assess the current hardness of the component affected by fire using Telebrineller Hardness Testing. Lastly, they compare the current hardness to what the hardness of the material should be and interpret the data to determine if the component is fit for its intended use. Conclusion Telebrineller Hardness Testing provides data that is necessary for the safe and uninterrupted operation of pipelines, compressor stations, and pressure vessels in the oil and gas industry. Data provided by Telebrineller Hardness Testing is interpreted by nondestructive testing technicians to determine tensile strength and assess fire damage which is important in preventing component failure. 1.

NEW TECHNOLOGY
MARKETPLACE SOLUTION INNOVATES SUPPLY CHAINS By: Robert Nebel Jr., TruLogix When picking up any oil & gas trade magazine in recent years, you’ll quickly find articles on ‘what technology solutions have to do’ for this industry. In those articles, you’ll find generic-sized words like “mobility”, “collaboration”, and “usability”. With those buzzwords, you’ll find much more suggestions rather than actually offering specific solutions. Yet, every roustabout, deckhand and chief officer knows there are still significant improvement opportunities within their operations. Think about this for a second, aside from the obvious budget pressures at play today, why has it been so difficult for oil & gas companies to “successfully” apply technical solutions to their supply chains; especially when the same solutions thrive elsewhere? We set out to not only answer, but address, this exact question. Through over 1,000 hours of research over a year-long effort, TruLogix is developing a marketplace - called TruMarket - which seeks to address the industry’s challenges by helping both suppliers and operators succeed. Countless hours were spent sitting in trucks, dispatch trailers, walking well pads, researching existing software solutions, and holding roundtable discussions with industry executives. During our journey, a few things were abundantly clear as to why operators and suppliers have struggled to adopt technology that will positively impact their operations: 1. Misapplied solutions - The technology space is crowded, and software providers often confuse their customers by saying their solution(s) will solve customers’ issues, even if it stretches their capability. Operators, for example, have tried to implement expensive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems for the sake of being more organized, but end up adding more resources because the solutions were made for generic and predictive environments, and sometimes further restricts their ability to collaborate with their Suppliers due to strict process and data controls. 2. Industry complexity - Work performed within this industry is dynamic. We deal with varying topography, extreme weather conditions, and have a large appetite for resources (especially, water management and local-based third party supplier services). With all of this complexity, it is difficult to forecast precise schedules when variables are not predictable and consistent. 3. Regulatory and safety concerns - Safety must be balanced between compliance, simplicity and efficiency for it to have a net-positive impact. The safety of our
employees, partners, and communities must be a top priority. Solutions therefore must incorporate some element of compliance, but at the same time help get there in an easier, cheaper or faster way. The perception, however, is that more compliance equates to more money and possibly more paperwork. Despite these challenges, we can expect regulatory compliance measures to increase for the industry. The innovation environment has therefore stagnated while industry players weather the economic storm. It is, however, precisely these challenging times where new and innovative solutions are born. Having the opportunity to listen to those in the field has enabled us to craft a Software as a Service (SaaS) marketplace that helps manage and reconcile the work between operators and their vast supplier network. Looking at existing solutions, supply chain software providers typically emphasize one to three attributes: Collaboration (cross-company workflow), Integration (cross-process workflow), and/or Optimization (efficient and effective workflow). The industry is in need of solutions that balance well between all three, which has frankly been lacking. TruLogix, however, is creating a marketplace where Operators can better manage their costs and reconcile with supplier performance, while suppliers can manage their delivery obligations successfully, safely and accurately. The ride-sharing service, Uber, was able to match the transportation needs of individuals with those of everyday people. In this industry, we do not know when and how much we’re going to need something on a daily basis. TruLogix applies a similar concept where we match the needs of operators with available suppliers. By facilitating and controlling execution, we also capture key data points allowing for evaluation of performance like never before. We are providing solutions that help all parties succeed so everyone wins. There are seven core features of our TruMarket solution: 1. Marketplace: We match operator needs with available suppliers and offer tools to manage the order through completion from the palm of your hand. This enables the parties to reconcile the planned work with the actual work and invoice. 2. Mobility: The marketplace is built for mobile, on-the-go businesses. This means it works with smartphones, tablets or laptops. 3. Digital Documentation: Integrated into our workflows, we capture information and signatures digitally and pass repetitive information from one process to the next. 4. Action-Driven Communication: TruMarket is designed with alerttriggered messaging for those situations that require immediate attention. 5. Order-to-Cash Supplier tools: These tools enable Suppliers to announce available capacity, manage orders with their assets/employees, and invoice upon successful completion. 6. QR Code Workflow: We are applying this existing technology in innovative ways so that you and your suppliers can remain in compliance and in control of your hazardous materials. ‘Point and scan’ will keep you and your partners in compliance, track actions for audibility, and alert users when they are about to make mistakes. 7. Analytics: TruMarket offers profile-driven and visually stunning dashboards with KPIs that measure performance like never before. The marketplace is launching Q4 2015 and we are signing up participants now.

HEALTH & SAFETY
SAFETY SCHOOLING WITH TOP HAND TRAINING By: Kristie Kubovic, Director of Communications, Shale Media Group Health and safety are important in any job, and especially paramount in the shale oil and gas industry. It could mean the difference between preventing and incurring a serious injury, or worse yet—the difference between life and death. Health and safety adherence in the shale oil and gas industry isn’t simply a list of general guidelines that might be posted on the company bulletin board. In this industry, it is imperative that a complex set of protocols is followed; and that strict state or federal regulations are enforced to help in the prevention of any potential life-threatening incidents. Every aspect of a production work site is impacted by these regulations to ensure a safe, secure environment and prevent any accidents or safety violations. The people who work in the potentially volatile environment must be properly trained to avoid accidents, and be prepared to react to an on-site emergency. Top Hand Training was founded to meet the growing environmental, health, and safety (EHS) regulatory training and EHS consulting needs of shale oil and gas service companies and operators. Nathan Ray, Owner, Top Hand Training, relayed, “We help our clients develop specific safety policies and programs to protect their team members in the field.” In addition to providing best in class safety training to their clients, Top Hand Training offers ISNetworld® and PICS systems management. The company also writes policies and procedures, designs behavior based safety programs, and sits down with company management for consulting. Additionally, Top Hand Training will go into the field to perform audits. Various types of training are often needed in the shale oil and gas industry. Some of these include: SafeLand, PEC Core Compliance, CPR/First Aid/AED, H2S Awareness/Fit Testing/Medical Evaluation, and New Hire Orientations. “Through our network of nationwide instructors we are able to provide any oil and gas safety training classes requested,” addressed Ray, who added, “PEC SafeLand is our most popular class. PEC is a brand of SafeLand training. We chose PEC because of their dedication to providing the best product available and constantly updating their material as regulations change.”
The basic PEC SafeLand orientation is designed to take the place of multiple operator orientations and to give students a general idea of life and safety issues in the shale oil and gas industry. The orientation is a single day training course that lasts around eight hours so that the students may enter a well site and perform their assigned work duties. Numerous shale oil and gas operators accept this orientation for their requirements. Ray noted, “SafeLand is a great start for oil and gas hazard awareness level training; however, companies should also develop their own safety policies and programs for training and protecting their team members.” In regards to founding the company, Ray, who worked in many shale plays across the US and had a background in EHS and training, explained, “I noticed a real disconnect between quality training that was available at the contractor level. Most of the large nationwide companies have entire divisions devoted to safety and training; however, that isn’t always the case for the smaller or growing companies. Top Hand Training was founded on the principle that all companies should have access to best in class training in order to reduce incidents and create a safer industry as a whole.” Additionally, Top Hand introduces a unique approach to training. “All of the instructors that Top Hand Training enlists are experienced industry safety professionals with a no nonsense approach to facilitating training classes. This brings current real world field examples and experience into the classes and gets past ‘death by power point.’ Due to this, we are consistently rated by our students as ‘the best safety class they have ever attended’,” pointed out Ray. Many of these instructors and EHS consultants that Top Hand Training utilizes are the most sought after in the industry and are committed to long-term EHS projects with major oil and gas operators. Top Hand schedules classes for these instructors around their consulting duties. This allows Top Hand’s clients access to the best instructors. Ray expressed, “Quality safety training is one of the most important investments management can make in their company. While most of our business is from companies meeting operator requirements, we like to say ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’.” Top Hand Training is located in Washington, PA and serves clients in both the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays. For more information on Top Hand Training, visit www.TopHandTraining.com or call 724-884-5706. Shale Media Group (SMG) is the news, information, and education resource dedicated to the shale oil and gas industries by messaging across video, Internet, publications, events, and radio.
