OOGA Holds Third Annual Oilfield Expo, Safety Congress
T
he Ohio Oil & Gas Association (OOGA) held its third annual Oilfield Expo and Safety Congress at the I-X Center in Cleveland, Ohio, on Dec. 4 and 5. This year’s event kicked off with an Oilfield Expo Welcome Reception at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The event featured industry training sessions in a classroom setting focused on business practices and job site safety. Subjects devoted to safety covered topics such as driver safety, flash fire risk assessment, and trenching & shoring and business sessions covered site security, asset protection strategies and navigating the Health Care Exchanges. According to Mike
Chadsey, OOGA’s director of public relations, as Ohio’s development of shale oil and gas energy resources has gained momentum, so too has exhibitor participation at the Oilfield Expo and Safety Congress. The number of exhibitors at this year’s event was nearly double that of the past year. More than 200 oil and gas industry suppliers, service providers and associations involved with shale oil and gas well development in Ohio exhibited this year. Major sponsors at the event included ALL Erection & Crane Rental and Beaver Excavating, along with many other product and service providers. The congress is designed to
bring together the broad range of industries and companies involved with the production of oil and natural gas resources in Ohio in a format that encourages the exchange of information regarding new technologies, applications, and innovations in the industry. With a history that dates back more than 65 years, OOGA serves the interests of Ohio’s crude oil and natural
gas industry at the Statehouse through education and outreach. OOGA’s more than 3,000 members are involved in all aspects of the exploration, production and development of crude oil and natural gas resources within the state of Ohio.

ODOT, Transit Systems Launch New Statewide Study The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Ohio’s public transit systems are partnering to create a longterm strategy to meet the needs of current and future urban and rural transit riders. Strategies may include efforts to create more efficient demand response services in rural areas, to more frequent bus service in larger cities. The Ohio Statewide Transit Needs Study will examine Ohio’s demographics and travel trends to determine the types of services needed to meet future customer needs. ODOT also will conduct a comprehensive financial analysis to determine how to meet those needs.
A survey associated with the study began as of the last week of October and went until mid-November. The survey is targeted toward people who currently use transit and will be administered with assistance from the 61 transit providers across the state. The survey asked riders about their experiences riding public transit today, and sought their input on what areas could be improved. “The rider survey is just the first step of our public outreach and technical effort,” said Marianne Freed, administrator of ODOT’s office of transit. “Our goal is to evaluate the unique transportation needs for communities statewide,
whether it’s a large city or a rural county.” A project steering committee, which includes a diverse representation of transit agencies, regional councils, environmental experts, chambers of commerce, transit union officials and contractors from around Ohio, will provide advisory input to the study. The study, along with other information, can be obtained by visiting http://www.TransitNeedsStudy.ohio.gov.

Marathon to Fund 37.5 Percent of Sandpiper Pipeline FINDLAY, Ohio (AP) Marathon Petroleum Corp. has agreed to pay for more than a third of the construction cost of the proposed Sandpiper pipeline, the company and Enbridge Energy Partners LP said Nov. 25. Marathon will be an anchor shipper and fund 37.5 percent of the cost of the estimated $2.6 billion pipeline that would carry crude oil from Beaver Lodge, N.D., across northern Minnesota to Wisconsin. It would extend 610 mi. (981 km) from the Bakken oilfields to an Enbridge terminal in Superior, Wis. In exchange for Marathon’s commitment to take part in the open season for Sandpiper and its investment, it will earn about 27 percent interest in Enbridge’s North Dakota System when the Sandpiper pipeline is done. Marathon also will have the option to increase its ownership interest to 30 percent through additional investments in future system improvements, the companies said. The Sandpiper would increase the Bakken takeaway capacity of the North Dakota system by 225,000 barrels per day to a total of 580,000 barrels per day. In 2012, Marathon agreed to be the anchor shipper on the Enbridge Southern Access Extension pipeline from Flanagan, Ill., to Patoka, Ill. As a result of that commitment, Marathon has the option to acquire a 25 percent ownership interest in Southern Access Extension. Due to Marathon’s commitment to the Sandpiper, Marathon’s option for ownership interest in Southern Access Extension will increase an additional 10 percent to a total of 35 percent. Marathon is the nation’s fourth-largest refiner. Marathon brand gasoline is sold at about 5,100 independently owned retail outlets across 18 states. Its Speedway LLC subsidiary runs the nation’s fourth-largest convenience store chain, with about 1,470 convenience stores in nine states. Sandpiper is scheduled to start operating in early 2016.

Let’s face it. When it comes to Heavy Duty Equipment, from the outside, brands tend to run together. The real separator? Performance. As in ‘how reliable’ and ‘how productive’. That’s why Hyundai designs their equipment with features that matter. From the minute-by-minute, online ability to connect with your machines and know their exact productivity, to the best warranty in the business - 3 years/3000 hours full machine and 5 years/10,000 hours structural. Hyundai is an original in a look-alike world. Visit hceamericas.com for the complete story.
