UTICA
Fawcett Center, The Ohio State University, Columbus Ohio http://www.theenergyforum.com/utica_2012/main.asp
October 10th, 2011 The Energy Forum hosted our first Utica meeting in Columbus Ohio. We asked the question "Next Big Thing? Evaluating the UTICA Shale Play – What will it take to go from excitement to profits?" The answers we heard at UTICA - 2011 were informative and useful. UTICA – 2012 will look at "Hype vs Reality" and Technical Challenges and Solutions for developing the Utica including what can be learned from development issues faced in other US shale plays.
October 9th & 10th, 2012 we will host our 2nd annual meeting at the prestigious Fawcett Center on the campus of The Ohio State University. We will be set up in our popular Roundtable / Interactive Forum set. To facilitate interaction and useful information exchange participant numbers will be limited. We will make a small number of exhibit spots available and select sponsorships. Contact Neil Staley at 281-656-2008 or email Neil@TheEnergyForum.com for Speaking Opportunities / Attendee or Exhibitor - Sponsorship information.

BESSEMER GAS ENGINES 1898-1998
Bessemer gas engines received their name from the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad (USX Corporation) which ran between Conneaut Ohio and Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. This railroad was built to carry iron ore to the steel mills. Dr Edwin J Fithian and John Carruthers, with the assistance of George and Ruben Willets, developed a two cycle gas engine for oil field use between 1896 and 1898. The first Bessemer engine was built in a branch shop of Oil Well Supply Company at Harmony Pennsylvania, but was turned down by the company.
Carruthers and Fithian also developed a gas engine cylinder for converting steam engines to internal combustion. They invented a friction clutch and pulley to be placed on the converted steam engine. “Half breed” conversion kits were made under license by the South Penn Oil Company, a branch of Standard Oil, in their machine shops near Pittsburgh and Parkersburg West Virginia. Converted engines of this type were rated at 10, 12 and 15 H.P.
Over 4,000 Bessemer “half breed” conversion cylinders were in use on oil leases by 1908. The Bessemer is the original (conversion) cylinder outfit for steam engine beds and was imitated by a large number of machine shops. Simplicity of design made the Bessemer one of the most easily copied engines.
Steam engines produced power by heating water into steam. When fire in steam engine boilers ignited natural gas from the wells, explosions happened. The conversion cylinders eliminated this danger. They bolted gas cylinders onto steam engine bodies and converted them to run on natural gas. Half Breed engines ran efficiently on well gas, saving lives and money. Reducing the number of employees and materials required to operate oil field machinery increased profits. No one needed to buy wood or coal to stoke the fire or make sure there was water in the steam boiler.

The body of this engine was made by the George W. Tifft Steam Engine Company, Buffalo, NY, which began making oil field engines in 1860 and sold thousands. In 1902 a gas cylinder manufactured by Bessemer Gas Engine Company, Grove City, PA, replaced the steam cylinder. William Moon used this half breed engine to pump wells at the top of Mayer Street in Oil City, PA until he gave it to Drake Well Museum in 1994 .
Bessemer gas engines were built in sizes ranging from 5 to 40 H.P. The firm later manufactured other products for oil field use including direct connected air and gas compressors, belt driven compressors, vacuum pumps, direct connected pipeline pumps, roller pumping powers and straight lift pumping jacks. The company became one of the world’s leading builders of two cycle gas engines. The firm pioneered the development of direct connected compressors for oil field and industrialuse.
The Bessemer Gas Engine Co merged with C & G Cooper Co of Mount Vernon Ohio, a manufacturer of heavy duty, four cycle gas engines and compressors in 1929. The combined firms became know as the Cooper-Bessemer Corporation. Harry J Crawford, banker of Emlenton was instrumental in this merger.
Cooper-Bessmer gas and diesel engines were built in sizes ranging from 25 to 1650 H.P. by the 1940s. The Grove City plant manufactured marine diesel engines for submarines, destroyer escorts, landing craft, Coast Guard vessels and Liberty ships during World War II.

Vertical Integration Trends in Frac Sand and Proppant 9:30 - 10:15, Thursday, September 27th
Steven Ilkay Oil & Gas Advisor Unconventional Oil & Gas Acquisition & Divestitures Proppant, Frac Sand, Guar -
As the Shale and Unconventional Oil & Gas resource play development continues to expand into the Northeast and Appalachia, what should investors be watching for when evaluating one play versus another, or even the economic viability of emerging plays, such as the Utica? How many of these plays are truly viable? What type of proppant is being used? What are the potential supply chain constraints in the Frac Services supply chain? What are the implications for resource development in New York State, with the recent legislative changes relating to Fracking? These are all questions that investors and e&p's need to ask themselves as they evaluate the merits of investing in the Marcellus or Utica. In the Utica, early well results have been mixed, to say the least. This isn't uncommon for an emerging unconventional resource play. We're looking at a number of variables in assessing the viability of this play, particularly in light of sky-high lease bonus rates. In addition to lease bonus rates and well data, we are closely watching the type and costs associated with various proppants in overall well costs, input from operators on the effectiveness of various types of Frac Sand vs Ceramic or Bauxite-based Proppant, the availability and reliability of the frac services supply chain and lessons learned from other large unconventional plays as it relates to large scale midstream development.

SAFETY ON THE JOB

SEPTEMBER 2012
Eye Safety: Use It Or Lose It
According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), approximately 2,000 workers have a job related eye injury that requires medical treatment every day in the United States. Almost one third of these injuries require a trip to the emergency room, with 100 of these injuries resulting in one or more days of lost work. The majority of eye injuries are not a result of large objects striking the eye, but smaller particles or objects hitting and scratching the eyeball. These smaller objects, as well as trauma from larger objects striking the face/eye, workers running into objects causing blunt force trauma, and exposures to chemicals or high temperatures can damage the eyes and surrounding tissues, resulting in a permanent loss of vision. The following article will outline the OSHA regulations surrounding eye protection, how to assess the risks on your job site, and what preventative measures can be taken to keep workers protected.
OShA Regulations Under 29CFR 1926.102, OSHA requires that employees be provided with eye and face protection equipment when machines or operations present potential eye or face injury from physical, chemical, or radiation agents. The eye and face protection equipment required by 29CFR 1926.102 must meet the requirements specified in American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1-1989. All safety glasses meeting this requirement will be marked with Z87 (or Z87+ if prescription lenses) by the manufacturer so that there is never any question as to whether or not the requirement is being met. The OSHA requirement also stipulates that the face and eye protection equipment shall be kept clean and in good condition, and any eye protection showing structural or optical defects will not count as meeting the requirement.

Assessing Your Risk As is the case with most job related injury issues, the first step in keeping workers safe is to assess what risks exist on your job site. The two most important questions to ask yourself when assessing potential risks on your job site are what are the most dangerous jobs (by task or tools used) and what are the most hazardous areas (by location) for the eyes. A few potential eye hazard examples are areas where hammering or grinding takes place, wherever chemicals are handled, areas where welding is done and anywhere people are under workers above them. It is important to remember that windy or dusty conditions can lead to particles in the eye and that simply passing through an area where work is being performed can result in a serious eye injury.
Protecting Your Workers NIOSH recommends a 3-Part Eye Safety Strategy for reducing the eye injury hazards at your site. The three part strategy consists of engineering controls, administrative controls and the use of appropriate protective eyewear. The best practice is to use engineering controls, such as machine guards that prevent the escape of particles, welding curtains for arc flash protection and toe kicks on elevated platforms and scaffolding. Examples of administrative controls include making certain areas of the site “off limits”, unless that is the workers assigned work area, and simply relocating passage ways out of active work zones. The final part of your 3-part strategy should always be the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). This may come in the form of safety glasses, goggles or face shields, and every worker on site should be required to carry and use this protection at all times.
The eye protection chosen for specific work situations will depend on the nature and extent of the hazard, the circumstances of exposure, other protective equipment used, and personal vision needs. The eye protection should be fit to the individual or adjustable to provide appropriate coverage, as even a small gap in the wrong place can lead to a serious eye injury. It is important to remember to account for the user’s comfort, and to make sure that the protection provides an unobstructed view and sufficient peripheral vision. The selection of protective eyewear appropriate for a given task should be made based on a hazard assessment of each activity and any regulatory requirements.
Several options are available for the different hazards that may exist on the job site, and making sure the appropriate equipment is used is extremely important. Safety glasses are most commonly used in situations where the worker may be sawing, hammering or drilling and should offer ample protection for small impacts. Most safety glasses manufactured today are designed as “wrap around” and do not require side shields, but it is important to keep in mind that many eye injuries occur because there is not adequate protection on the sides of the glasses. If you feel as though your safety glasses do not offer enough side protection, Continued e

side shields can be easily attached to any pair of glasses for added protection. Newer models of safety glasses also offer the ability to change out the standard lenses, usually made of polycarbonate, with steel mesh to keep larger pieces of flying debris from injuring the user.
Goggles are stronger than safety glasses and should be used when there is a need for higher impact protection, greater particle protection, chemical splash protection and welding light protection. Goggles being used for splash or particle protection should have indirect venting, where vents are not located on the face of the goggle. Goggles with direct venting, a mesh of small holes around the lenses, will not have as much fogging, but should not be used with liquid or fine dust hazards. When welding with goggles, it is important to make sure that the correct shade number is being used. This shade number will be printed on the lens and will let the user know how dark the lens is. A list of minimum shade numbers for different welding applications can be found by visiting www.OShA.gov.
Face shields are used for even higher impact protection, and to add additional protection for the wearer’s face. The important thing to remember about face shields is that they should always be used in addition to goggles or safety glasses. Small particles can easily go around a face shield and the curve of the shield can direct the particles into the eyes. Also, face shields are frequently lifted, which would leave the wearer’s eyes unprotected without safety glasses or goggles. Face shields are most commonly used for tasks such as spraying, chipping and grinding.

Now that there is an understanding of the potential hazards for eye injury, and the protection products available, the last piece of the puzzle is to stress the importance of using eye protection to everyone on the job site. Making sure that worker’s put on their protective eyewear as they enter the site, and do not remove it until they leave is one of the easiest ways to ensure everyone’s safety. NIOSH also recommends daily or weekly “toolbox talks” where supervisors can promote discussions on any and all safety topics. For more information on, and guides to leading these talks, please visit www.CDC.gov/NIOSh.

OILFIELD HUMOR
•
PAGE 26
A man retires after 50 years in the oilfield. He is hanging around the house and gets bored, so he goes down to the nieghborhood bar. He's having a couple of beers and starts a conversation with the bartender. The bartender asks him what he does. The guy says he just retired after 50 years in the oil patch. The bartender says, "Wow! 50 years huh? You must know all there is to know about drilling an oil well". The guy chuckles and says, "No. I don't figure I know half of it." The bartender is amazed. He says, "You mean you worked in the oil business for 50 years and you don't know all there is to know about it?" The guy says, "No, not by a long shot." The bartender says, "Well just how long do you have to work in the oilfield to know all there is to know about it?" The man thought a second and says, "Usually about 6 months!"
