Most people think completions is just hydraulic fracturing, the method of cracking open shale downhole and unleashing natural gas and oil. Really, completions covers a wide scope and entails many methodical processes after drilling. After the drilling rig moves out, completions comes in and takes care of the well in many ways.

Depending on the operator, the completions progression can include: installing the tubing head and bottom master valve (BMV), cleaning and inspecting the wellhead, running a cement bond log, installing the frac stack, fracing and running

wireline, bringing in a workover rig (WOR) to run drillouts, and installing the production tree.

Firstly, the wellhead is inspected and valves are checked for any leaks. Then, the tubing head and BMV are installed. The purpose of the tubing head is to hang production tubing, as a means for getting oil and gas to the surface. The BMV provides a means of shutting in the well in case of emergency during frac operations. All equipment is pressured tested after rigged up.

Next, comes to bond logging. Before actually running any logging tools, a Gauge Ring Junk Basket (GRJB) is ran to clean out the vertical section of the wellbore. A radial bond tool is then sent down to analyze the

cement job, which took place during drilling; this step is crucial, as it is usually required by law, varying from state-to-state. The tool is ran until the kickoff of the well or until the tool can travel no farther. Two runs will take place: one uphole and one downhole.

Along with the radial bond tool, a Casing Collar Locator (CCL) is sent down to determine what depth the tool is at in the wellbore. The CCL will link up with Marker Joint (MJ) in the well. MJ is simply a pup joint, or a significantly shorter length of pipe. MJ was installed prior to completions operations.

After cement bond longs, the frac stack is installed. The two most important parts of the frac stack that sit atop the well are the goat head and swab (frac) valve. Due to frac operations at high pressures, the goat head allows multiple flow paths to merge hitting one another, rather than hitting the sides and causing erosion. The frac valve is just a means of shutting in the well during operations. The stack is rated to 10,000 psi and is usually pressure tested in increments of 1,000 psi.

Now it’s time to frac. The frac crew on-site is a third party – some prominent crews include: Schlumberger, Universal, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, Weatherford, Trican, Patterson-UTI, and CalFrac. Before jumping into the bread-and-butter of frac

operations, briefly talking about site equipment is beneficial. The data monitoring van on site is where the company men, frac engineers, and pump operators will run the well-oiled frac operations. Sand storage units are located on site, as each frac stage requires about 300-400,000 pounds of proppant. Sand trucks are constantly moving about the pad to replenish the supply of sand.

Stimulation fluid storage and chemical storage are used to stock up on an important chemicals used in the frac fluid. The frac fluid is mainly composed of water, but there are a few chemical mixtures in the fluid to add viscosity and help move the proppant downhole. Some of these chemicals can include small amounts of: hydrochloric acid, guar gum, corrosion and scale inhibitors, friction reducer, biocide, gel, iron control, and surfactant. The fracing process uses tremendous amounts of water, so usually the operator will have a nearby impoundment to pull freshwater from.

Similar to the drilling pad, fresh containment is laid down to help mitigate and disperse small spills. If using gel while fracing, there will be a hydration unit on site, which will feed into the blender. The blender will mix up the proppant and fluid slurry. Feeding into the low-pressure inlet of the missile, the slurry will then be rerouted to the pumps. After being pressurized, the fluid will shoot back into the high side of the missile and continue until reaching the goat head and being injected into the well.

Along with this frac equipment, usually there will be wireline on location. Wireline is used to aid in the process of making perforations into the formation. On the wireline assembly, the order of pieces of equipment includes: lubricator → injector head → wireline → CCL → perforation gun → plug.

As wireline and frac operations are running simultaneously, wireline will make perforations and then the crews will swap. Subsequently, frac will run and push proppant and fluids into the newly made perforations. This proppant will wedge in between the fractures to prevent them from closing up.

The plug is set to create zones of isolation between each frac stage. The wireline assembly will fall in the vertical due to gravity, but once in the lateral, the wireline engineer will need to pump down on the assembly starting at about 2 bbl/min and ending at 16 bbl/min. It’s important to note that the wireline crew is usually separate from the frac crew. Some well-known wireline crews include: Schlumberger, Halliburton, Weatherford, Nine Energy Services, and C&J Energy Services.

O&G:UPSTREAM

After the plug is set in the wireline, the ball is dropped and seated on top of the plug. When fracing, the crew will follow a treatment schedule. Depending on the type of frac job and whether it is slickwater or hybrid (gel/crosslink) the treatment schedule could differ. The frac job will usually start off with an acid run, which is used to clean up the formation. Following this, spacer is ran (water with friction reducer) to create initial larger fractures for propping agent. Depending on the operator, a variety of different mesh sizes can be used for proppant. Regardless, when fracing, the mesh size will start off small and work its way to larger grains.

Sand concentrations can reach up to four pounds. After the treatment schedule is followed for the frac stage, the crew will run a flush, which cleans out proppant in the wellbore prior to shutdown. During all of this, the company men and pump operators will be monitoring rates and pressures. When fracing, pressures can vary, but are usually between 8-9,000 psi.

This entire process is repeated for all frac stages. When all stages are fraced, a kill plug is set and the well is bled to 0 psi. Now that fracing is wrapped up, the frac plugs now must be removed via a Workover Rig. Similar to drilling, a BOP stack is rigged up and the crew is moved in. Essentially, the crew will use to stick pipe to push downhole and drill out all the composite frac plug parts. Located at the surface, there is a variety of equipment: pump, plug catcher, choke manifold, gas buster, sand separator, and flowback tanks. The pump is used to push fluids downhole, the plug catcher “catches” large pieces of plug parts, the choke manifold is used to help control wellside pressure, the sand separator catches excess sand, and the flowback tanks are used for the fluids. Overall, the drillouts process is fairly simple and runs in a procedural fashion. To drive efficiencies, usually a third party company will come on-site and install production trees after the crew is done with drillouts on that particular well.

O&G: MIDSTREAM

By: Adam Larson, Staff Writer, Shale Media Group &Kristie Kubovic, Director of Communications, Shale Media Group

Lately, the state of the shale oil and gas industry has been in the headlines and on the minds of many. Sinking crude prices and a tremendous rise in supply relative to fairly flat demand have led to idled rigs and job losses. Even though the industry is facing some real challenges, it is important to keep in mind that the entire industry can’t be wrapped into one box.

The natural gas industry is typically broken into three sectors: upstream, midstream, and downstream. Upstream is the first stage and involves exploration and production. The midstream stage is the processing, storing, transporting, and marketing of natural gas. The final stage, downstream, is after production through the point of sale.Many of these ominous headlines have been connected to the upstream portion of the industry. Adversely (and by most accounts), the midstream and upstream sectors are not in the same predicament as the upstream sector. In fact, in the Northeast, midstream infrastructure is rapidly expanding.

Also, keep in mind that the shale oil and gas industry didn’t exist in the Northeast in its current capacity until just a few years ago. Once the industry got rolling, it went into overdrive at 100 mph. Even though it has slowed a little, 60 mph is still better than zero, when moving forward.

When the shale oil and gas industry was revitalized in the Northeast with the discovery of the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays and the advent of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, it was initially the upstream sector that was eclipsing the rest of the industry. Since then, the Appalachian Basin has emerged as the biggest gas field in the world. Additionally, it sits next to major population markets. However, without natural gas pipelines servicing the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, the product can’t get to these customers.

To alleviate this problem, midstream companies have been working on and building numerous major pipeline projects. The midstream sector alone now accounts for a multi-billion dollar industry in the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia.

Recently, an annual conference, Midstream PA 2015, revolved entirely around the midstream sector. Midstream PA 2015 was held at The Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel in State College, PA on Thursday, October 1st. Hosted by Shale

Directories, the shale oil and gas conference discussed the current and future wellbeing of the midstream sector.

“The purpose of Midstream PA 2015 is to provide midstream companies the opportunity to update local businesses on their future activities and resource needs. For local businesses, it’s an opportunity to learn about midstream activities as well as learn how to do business with them. Local businesses also find the information valuable as they plan for 2016 and beyond,” explained Joe Barone, President, Shale Directories.

Top-playing midstream companies including MarkWest Energy Partners, Sunoco Logistics, UGI Energy Services, and Williams participated in the conference. One

key takeaway that resurfaced by speakers throughout the day was that even though U.S. rig counts and drilling activity is down, the midstream sector still remains strong. Operators are dynamically producing oil and gas, which means midstream companies are still needed to move that product to market. Pipeline, gathering and processing facilities, and expansion projects continue to be present and intact.

Due to depressed oil and natural gas prices that have hit the United States’ unconventional shales hard for the past year, speakers also expressed that to weather this storm, pipeline projects need attention. In places where pipeline infrastructure is lacking, there’s an oversupply of gas. This is the story that’s happening in northeastern Pennsylvania and other similar corners of the US.

Williams is one of the largest midstream companies in the Marcellus and Utica taking on projects to feed gas-hungry pipelines. “Williams touches roughly 30% of the nation’s natural gas. Our strategy is to connect the best supplies with the best markets,” said Jeremy Zemen, Manager Commercial Development, Williams. “If you were to unwind all of our pipelines here in just the Northeast area, that’d be equivalent to traveling from Bermuda to Anchorage. We’ve taken responsibility for over 4,000 miles of pipeline.”

The energy industry is all about growth and continuous development. As operators are pulling more product out of the ground, midstream companies focus on expanding and meeting the needs of their core customer, the operator. “When we first came up into the Northeast in 2010, we purchased Atlas’ gathering system, which quickly became owned by Chevron,” continued Zemen. “We started off handling about 100 MMCF per day. As of first quarter this year, we were handling a little over 6 BCF per day. To put this 6 BCF into perspective, we’re touching 9% of the natural gas that’s consumed in the United States.”

As Zemen pointed out, there’s a tremendous amount of potential and capability in the Appalachian Basin. With pipelines pulling natural gas off the production

pad, gas is separated and processed. After this point, the gas is dispersed domestically across the United States. Many uses come from natural gas, which include: heating, cooking, and electricity generation. Consumer products are also directly derived and manufactured from natural gas: pharmaceuticals, plastics, fertilizer, paint, clothing, electronics, paper towels, and diapers.

Tying in with that, Denise Brinley, Special Assistant to the Secretary, Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED), gave a presentation, “Bring Manufacturing Back to PA,” and noted that Procter & Gamble operates

a plant in Mehoopany, PA, which directly uses Marcellus gas to manufacture paper towels and diapers. With natural gas as the lynchpin for blue-collar workers in Pennsylvania, this plant supports 2,000 local jobs.

However, another roadblock in getting the natural gas product from the Appalachian Basin to major population centers in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic via pipelines is dealing with numerous regulatory issues. The Pennsylvania Department of Energy formed the Pipeline Infrastructure Task Force (PITF) to help deal with many of these issues. The purpose of the task force is to address discrepancies associated with the midstream part of the oil and gas business. The task force will explore all aspects of the midstream business and formulate a white paper report to put on Governor Wolf ’s desk by February 2016.

PITF at Midstream PA was represented by a panel that consisted of Jeff Logan, Executive Director, PA Chemistry Council; Sarah Battisti, Director of Government Affairs, Southwestern Energy; Ron McGlade, Vice President Midstream Services, Tenaska Power Services; and Joy Ruff, Director of Planning and Community Relations, Dawood Engineering. The panel fielded an array of questions from the audience.

Some of the discussion outscored the need for stricter regulations of gathering lines. These gas gathering lines are used to move product from the well to major pipelines. Midstream companies provide the gathering line connect for upstream operators.

In Pennsylvania, eminent domain generally only applies to interstate transmission lines, or lines moving gas longer distances between two or more states. In other states the power of eminent domain is given to all intrastate gathering and distribution pipeline companies.

Individual gathering lines (pipelines running between well sites, compressor units, and metering stations) are not subject to eminent domain in Pennsylvania, and the pipeline operator must negotiate easements with each individual landowner along the pipeline route.

According to Penn State Extension, “Major interstate pipelines and pipelines within Pennsylvania are under the jurisdiction of federal or state regulatory agencies. But the pipelines that connect wells to larger transport pipelines—so-called gathering pipelines—lie in a gray area. The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) currently has safety jurisdiction over public utility pipelines (those who transport natural gas for compensation). The PUC is currently exploring its regulatory oversight of pipelines and whether the Public Utility Code needs to be revised. The existence and definition of that role is for the legislature to determine.”

While investigating gathering lines, the pipeline taskforce will also plan, site, and route pipelines in ways that avoid or reduce environmental and community impacts; amplify and engage in meaningful public participation; maximize opportunities for predictable and efficient permitting; employ construction methods that reduce environmental and community impact; and ensure pipeline safety and integrity during operation of the pipeline.

The panel ended with the notion that landowners and Pennsylvanians must see derived benefits from natural gas development. Whether or not Governor Wolf will do anything with the taskforce’s findings and recommendations is unknown.

Whatever the outcome, the current state of the midstream sector is full steam ahead with numerous major pipeline projects in the works. Sunoco’s Mariner East will deliver propane and ethane from the Marcellus Shale region in Western Pennsylvania to the Marcus Hook facility, near Philadelphia, where it will be processed, stored, and distributed to various markets. Mariner East will be created in two phases. Phase I will link Delmont, PA to MarkWest’s facility in Houston, PA. Phase II will consist of the construction of a new 350 mi pipeline from Eastern Ohio to the Marcus Hook facility. Joe McGinn, Senior Manager, Sunoco Logistics, expressed, “We’re a Pennsylvania company, moving a local product and creating

jobs. For the Mariner East Project, Sunoco Logistics will invest approximately $3B in Pennsylvania.”

Additionally, Williams’ Constitution Pipeline will connect abundant Marcellus Shale natural gas supplies in northeastern Pennsylvania to major northeastern markets. The approximately 125-mile, major transmission pipeline project will extend from Susquehanna County, PA, to Schoharie County, NY at the Iroquois Gas Transmission and Tennessee Gas Pipeline systems. Chris Stockton, Spokesperson, Williams, says, “The Constitution Pipeline is creating a direct connection between New England, New York, and one of the most abundant and cost-effective natural gas supply basins in the world. This direct connection simply doesn’t exist today. New England and New York remain dependent on natural gas originating in Canada and the Gulf of Mexico, while far more cost-effective supplies are literally in their back yards waiting to be tapped.”

Likewise, Williams’ Atlantic Sunrise Project offers similar benefits to the Constitution Pipeline, but rather than sending natural gas north, the project moves it south and is actually an expansion of Williams’ existing Transco natural gas transmission pipeline. The Transco Pipeline moves natural gas to customers located throughout the eastern US. The project includes expanding the existing Transco transmission pipeline in Pennsylvania, in addition to modifying some existing Transco facilities in other states, to move gas from vast Marcellus Shale natural gas supplies in northeastern Pennsylvania to markets as far south as Alabama. In total, the price tag will be close to $3 billion and there will be facility additions or modifications in five states: Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

These are just three of numerous pipeline projects that have already been completed or are currently in progress. While the midstream sector may face some hurdles of its own, such as regulatory, the current state of the midstream sector has a positive outlook.

INDUSTRYINSIGHT

For Laura Lawrence, a real estate broker for CBRE, Inc., starting the day with a schedule chock-full of appointments and commitments is the norm. However, Lawrence starts everyday knowing that she needs to juggle the known with the unknown – a handful of new client developments that will likely surface throughout the day.

Lawrence is a master juggler.

Meanwhile, back at the office, Jenny Kuhn, client services specialist, responds to a call from a landowner interested in listing a property for lease or sale. Kuhn schedules an appointment for a site visit, arranges for a professional to photograph the property and helps Lawrence make schedule changes to allow a site visit within a day of the inquiry. In short order, Lawrence realizes that the real estate in play is an ideal fit for another client’s property needs.

Lawrence and Kuhn are part of CBRE’s Energy Facilities Group led by Vice President R.T. Walker. Walker, an industry veteran, leads the national team whose focus is servicing the commercial real estate needs of oil and gas service providers. While Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia are reaping the rewards of Utica and

Marcellus Shale activity, Walker’s team has a national presence with an eye to expanding beyond the U.S. border.

Walker describes a typical day as “fluid, but controlled. We are regionally focused, but our reach is national and we plan to be a global force by next year.” “The nature of our industry is one that is scheduled – meeting a client for a property tour, negotiating a lease,

or making certain a tenant occupies a property by a specific date,” said Walker. “But, working to meet the needs of the oil and gas industry requires the ability to manage the needs of multiple clients and projects on-demand in a landscape that can change dramatically in the course of a day.”

Walker’s stock and trade are the relationships he has built over the last decade. Walker hedged his bets on the long-term effect of oil and gas drilling. He quietly picked up the phone to reach out to energy service company decision makers long before Utica and Marcellus Shale captured the attention of the media, the politicians or the community activists. Working under the radar, he studied the industry while forging connections with oil and gas insiders in Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana.

Earlier this year, Blake Kniss, MWD operations development manager for Houston-based Phoenix Technology Services, traveled to Ohio to establish an operations center.

“I realized very quickly that trying to handle this project without professional help was going to be incredibly unproductive,” said Kniss. “As I started to consider my options, it did not take long to realize that every attractive property had the same real estate signage – R.T. Walker and Laura Lawrence on behalf of CBRE. R.T. and Laura were not merely service providers. They played an important role in the success of this project.”

Typically, real estate brokers operate under the shroud of secrecy. Protecting one’s turf tends to be the standard operating procedure. But, for Walker’s team the concept seems unnecessary and, more importantly, unproductive. They strive to maintain transparency among the team.

“This is an industry with a history of protecting contacts and guarding territories. That mindset doesn’t work when partnering with energy service providers,” said Walker. The service providers are puzzle pieces and all of the pieces have to fit together to have a finished product.

We start every day by asking the other members of the team, ‘what can I do for you?’ We operate under the massive resources of the CBRE umbrella, yet we built our reputation by functioning as a boutique service provider.”

“When we are all reading the same playbook, our client resources expand by threefold,” said Lawrence. “When we have a client need, we don’t have to take time to bring people up to speed. We are identifying solutions within minutes. The oil and gas industry moves quickly and we strive to be one step ahead of them.”

The action starts with the energy producers and then quickly encapsulates the service providers. A well site identified today means a drilling company, coil tubing companies, frackers, downhole drillers and water haulers have received their marching orders and need to be in the position to move quickly.

“We get a call for yard space and we know that calls for warehouse space, workforce housing and office space will follow,” said Walker. “Sometimes our solutions need to be more creative. We encouraged a client with a former personal care home site to invest in transforming the property into attractive workforce housing. As a result, that client has a long-term tenant and another client no longer has an employee housing problem or expensive hotel bills.”

“Our specialty is integrated deal making,” said Lawrence. “It’s incredibly satisfying to get a client in position to handle the business at hand. But, to strike deals that lead to solving problems for three or four clients with a series of related transactions – it’s a win for everyone.”

“Working with R.T. and Laura has been smooth, efficient and an overall great experience,” said Pete Broge, an account manager with C&J Energy Services, a well construction and service firm. “Despite a tight market, we were presented with multiple options. Their team has the network, the market knowledge and the passion to service all of the energy service players and their needs.”

Reports of falling oil prices over the past year include predictions of a downturn for commercial real estate consultants serving energy providers. While the pundits’

LEADING THE WAY FOR THE OIL & GAS INDUSTRY: CBRE’S ENERGY FACILITIES GROUP

forecasts may be showing a downturn, the CBRE Energy Facilities Group reports business as a usual.

“Some of our clients are reevaluating their expansion plans,” said Lawrence. “At the same time, developers have continued to be cautious. Inventories are low and tenant leasing options remain limited. We are monitoring the situation closely with eyes wide open, but we simply are not seeing a downturn to cause concern.”

Walker points out a more tangible barometer of the industry health.

“I expected to review a contract and schedule a closing this morning,” said Walker. “Both will get done today, but after I organize a tour for an out of town client who called this morning and will be in town tomorrow. An industry slowdown? I just don’t see it.”

NEWTECHNOLOGY

By: Ken Allison, GEF Incorporated

Oil and Gas exploration and production is demanding work. Those working in this industry must deal with temperatures from well below zero to above one hundred degrees. The terrain where wells are installed and transmission facilities are located can be rugged and difficult to traverse. With the effects of weather and the incursion

of plants, animals and the indigenous human population, the challenges to personnel safety are apparent. The welfare and safety of these individuals is one of the concerns that we address at GEF Incorporated.

There are problems, hazards and threats to an individual’s safety inherent in all industries. In the oil and gas industry,

the environmental and geographical factors must be considered when designing solutions to these problems, while addressing hazardous conditions, and minimizing the threats to the safety of personnel. The innovative fiberglass systems and solutions designed and implemented at GEF Incorporated are well suited and custom planned for these specific situations.

When you consider the need for materials and simple structural products and systems that are environmentally friendly, light weight, high strength and will last longer than the oil and gas infrastructure and equipment itself, fiberglass solutions designed and implemented by GEF Incorporated are the perfect answer.

It was a cold and wet day when a gas field worker slipped down the hill at a well location. The client decided they needed steps down the hill with a platform as well. GEF Incorporated hurried to the well site, looked the situation over, took some measurements and started designing the solution. Using fiberglass products, such as Extren® structure, Duradek® grating and Safrail® handrail, we fabricated a platform/stair system that will last for years and years. With fiberglass, there is no rust, no corrosion and no rotting.

We built the system in our shop, put it on a flatbed and delivered it to the site in three pieces. We sent the plans with all the fasteners, numbered the pieces of the system and the contractor slid it into place and fastened it down. There were no more slips down the hill at that site.

We often get a call to help get people out of the mud and assist them to reach their control panels. A company was refurbishing and enlarging their services and called GEF for some stair/platform concepts. We developed several different stair/platform systems that fit the situations in each of the sites they were refining. We then took the measurements, ran them through our design department, then to our professional fabrication team and they immediately took the projects to production. Within no time we had the systems built in our shop, broke them down for delivery and off they went to the job sites. Erection was easy at the job sites due to the initial shop fabrication which included, pre-fitting all sections in house and then providing instruction and guidance for assembling of the units at each site.

Unfortunately, well sites and compression stations are occasionally victims of vandalism, stray bullets, or storm projectiles. GEF has a solution. Our armor panel will stop and contain a .44 magnum ballistic. If you have meters, valves, piping, control panels, or even personnel that you want to protect from extreme impacts, our armor panels will do the job.

From stairs to platforms, from structural materials to bullet protection, all theses fiberglass products and many more are available at GEF Incorporated. For more information, please contact Ken Allison at 304-755-1600 or [email protected].

HEALTH& SAFETY

By: Gangline Staff

The Gangline™ Pipe Restraint System is the dependable, go-to solution for restraining temporary pipelines and frack irons in oil fields.

The Gangline™ System is an engineered pipe restraining system designed to limit the whip range of the pipe should a catastrophic failure occur to the flow line or union connections. Brilliantly engineered, the Gangline™ System consists of only two parts: restraints and shackles. It offers a lightweight, high-strength installation solution for your peace of mind.

The Gangline™ System’s patented design uses the highest quality materials to create the most durable, lightweight and easy-to-use temporary pipe restraint on the market. Gangline™ restraints are installed in a leap-frog configuration. Each pipe section is secured by both the upstream and downstream sections of the pipeline in the event of a failure. The Gangline™ layout creates a choke on either side of a rupture, reducing in-line flowline movement as well as lateral (whip) movement. The Gangline™ System offers end-to-end restraint of flowlines for all lengths of pipe sections as well as swivels and joints.

The Gangline™ is an exceptional product with equally great service from Trinity Sling. “The system is one of the first on the market to be designed from the start as a restraint system, not something that was retrofitted or simply retagged to be a restraint system. “[Trinity Sling is] definitely the pioneer of dedicated restraint systems and I base that opinion on 15 years of pressure pumping experience along with 7 years in the HSE field,” comments Jim Richardson of Texas-based Mercer Well Service.

Every Gangline™ System is serialized and dated on durable waterproof tags. Gangline™ is traceable from end user through restraint fabrication back to original manufacturers and material lots. Gangline™ receives annual recertification and refurbishment from Trinity Sling. Gangline™ saves money with the fastest assembly and disassembly times in pressure pumping services. The innovative and simple design is trainable (Trinity Sling offers complete training to ensure the temporary pipeline is efficiently and accurately installed), inspectable and reliable. The Gangline™ System disassembles mid-flowline, allowing quick flowline refits and leak repairs.

Gangline™ System Product Highlights• Lightweight and flexible• Easy/quick to assemble and disassemble• Provides clear access to connection points for leak repair• Hydrophobic – is washable and does not absorb oil or water • UV-protected and corrosion-resistant• Easy to use in frozen conditions • Suitable for wide operating temperature range • Customizable to specific job requirements• Traceable by serial number and date of manufacture• Shippable world-wide, easily stored and transported

Gangline™ System Sizing The Gangline™ System is available in two rating sizes: Regular Duty and Heavy Duty. These products are certified for a range of applications from pumping pressures of 15,000PSI for 2” and 3” to 10,000PSI for 4” 1502 iron. Each system is flexible and easily adaptable to a variety of flow-line configurations and site conditions. Upon request, Trinity Sling can furnish Gangline™ Systems for larger diameters of pipe and higher pressures.

Gangline™ is manufactured and marketed worldwide by Trinity Sling Authority in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. For more information, contact Trinity Sling Authority at 877.589.2404 or see trinitysling.com.

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

OPENING KEYNOTEDAY 2 – Where The Midstream Goes From Here

JANUARY 26-28, 2016

THE HEART OF THEREVOLUTION

PITTSBURGH, PADAVID L. LAWRENCE CONVENTION CENTER

North America’s shale revolution has a beating heart – the Marcellus-Utica region, where breakevens are low, activity is brisk and natural gas is abundant. Beyond the Marcellus’ 500-800 Tcf of recoverable natural gas, a new study predicts the Utica holds 782.2 Tcf (20x more than previous estimates). The biggest players in midstream are working to make the Appalachian region a net exporter of natural gas in 2015, two years ahead of the rest of the country. Is your company ready?

This January, the Marcellus-Utica Midstream conference and exhibition brings the region’s key players together for an in-depth look at the latest production estimates and major midstream projects planned, underway and coming on-stream. Secure your seat today!
