October 10th, 2011 The Energy Forum hosted our first Utica meeting inColumbus Ohio. We asked the question "Next Big Thing? Evaluating theUTICA Shale Play – What will it take to go from excitement to profits?" Theanswers we heard at UTICA - 2011 were informative and useful. UTICA –2012 will look at "Hype vs Reality" and Technical Challenges and Solutionsfor developing the Utica including what can be learned from development is-sues faced in other US shale plays.

October 9th & 10th, 2012 we will host our 2nd annual meeting at the presti-gious Fawcett Center on the campus of The Ohio State University. We willbe set up in our popular Roundtable / Interactive Forum set. To facilitate in-teraction and useful information exchange participant numbers will be lim-ited. We will make a small number of exhibit spots available and selectsponsorships.

Bessemer gas engines received their name from the Bessemer andLake Erie Railroad (USX Corporation) which ran between ConneautOhio and Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. This railroad was built to carryiron ore to the steel mills.

Dr Edwin J Fithian and John Carruthers, with the assistance ofGeorge and Ruben Willets, developed a two cycle gas engine for oilfield use between 1896 and 1898. The first Bessemer engine wasbuilt in a branch shop of Oil Well Supply Company at HarmonyPennsylvania, but was turned down by the company.

Carruthers and Fithian also developed a gas engine cylinder for con-verting steam engines to internal combustion. They invented afriction clutch and pulley to be placed on the converted steam en-gine. “Half breed” conversion kits were made under license by theSouth Penn Oil Company, a branch of Standard Oil, in their machineshops near Pittsburgh and Parkersburg West Virginia. Convertedengines of this type were rated at 10, 12 and 15 H.P.

Over 4,000 Bessemer “half breed” conversion cylinders were in useon oil leases by 1908. The Bessemer is the original (conversion)cylinder outfit for steam engine beds and was imitated by a largenumber of machine shops. Simplicity of design made the Bessemerone of the most easily copied engines.

Steam engines produced power by heating water into steam. Whenfire in steam engine boilers ignited natural gas from the wells, ex-plosions happened. The conversion cylinders eliminated this dan-ger. They bolted gas cylinders onto steam engine bodies andconverted them to run on natural gas. Half Breed engines ran effi-ciently on well gas, saving lives and money. Reducing the numberof employees and materials required to operate oil field machineryincreased profits. No one needed to buy wood or coal to stoke thefire or make sure there was water in the steam boiler.

The body of this engine was made by the George W. Tifft Steam En-gine Company, Buffalo, NY, which began making oil field engines in1860 and sold thousands. In 1902 a gas cylinder manufactured byBessemer Gas Engine Company, Grove City, PA, replaced the steamcylinder. William Moon used this half breed engine to pump wellsat the top of Mayer Street in Oil City, PA until he gave it to DrakeWell 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 includ-ing direct connected air and gas compressors, belt driven compres-sors, vacuum pumps, direct connected pipeline pumps, rollerpumping powers and straight lift pumping jacks.

The company became one of the world’s leading builders of twocycle gas engines. The firm pioneered the development of directconnected compressors for oil field and industrialuse.

The Bessemer Gas Engine Co merged with C & G Cooper Co ofMount Vernon Ohio, a manufacturer of heavy duty, four cycle gasengines and compressors in 1929. The combined firms becameknow 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 rangingfrom 25 to 1650 H.P. by the 1940s. The Grove City plant manufac-tured marine diesel engines for submarines, destroyer escorts,landing craft, Coast Guard vessels and Liberty ships during WorldWar II.

CONFERENCE PREVIEW

Vertical Integration Trends in Frac Sand and Proppant

9:30 - 10:15, Thursday, September 27th

Proppant, Frac Sand, Guar -

As the Shale and Unconventional Oil & Gas resource play developmentcontinues to expand into the Northeast and Appalachia, what should in-vestors be watching for when evaluating one play versus another, or eventhe economic viability of emerging plays, such as the Utica? How many ofthese plays are truly viable? What type of proppant is being used? Whatare 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 ques-tions that investors and e&p's need to ask themselves as they evaluate themerits of investing in the Marcellus or Utica.

In the Utica, early well results have been mixed, to say the least. This isn'tuncommon for an emerging unconventional resource play. We're lookingat a number of variables in assessing the viability of this play, particularlyin light of sky-high lease bonus rates. In addition to lease bonus rates andwell data, we are closely watching the type and costs associated with var-ious proppants in overall well costs, input from operators on the effec-tiveness of various types of Frac Sand vs Ceramic or Bauxite-basedProppant, the availability and reliability of the frac services supply chainand lessons learned from other large unconventional plays as it relates tolarge scale midstream development.

MARCELLUS & UTICA SHALE?


According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety andHealth (NIOSH), approximately 2,000 workers have a job related eyeinjury that requires medical treatment every day in the UnitedStates. Almost one third of these injuries require a trip to theemergency room, with 100 of these injuries resulting in one or moredays of lost work. The majority of eye injuries are not a result oflarge objects striking the eye, but smaller particles or objects hittingand scratching the eyeball. These smaller objects, as well as traumafrom larger objects striking the face/eye, workers running into ob-jects causing blunt force trauma, and exposures to chemicals orhigh temperatures can damage the eyes and surrounding tissues,resulting in a permanent loss of vision. The following article willoutline the OSHA regulations surrounding eye protection, how toassess the risks on your job site, and what preventative measurescan be taken to keep workers protected.

OShA RegulationsUnder 29CFR 1926.102, OSHA requires that employees be providedwith eye and face protection equipment when machines or opera-tions present potential eye or face injury from physical, chemical,or radiation agents. The eye and face protection equipment re-quired by 29CFR 1926.102 must meet the requirements specified inAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1-1989. All safetyglasses meeting this requirement will be marked with Z87 (or Z87+if prescription lenses) by the manufacturer so that there is neverany question as to whether or not the requirement is being met.The OSHA requirement also stipulates that the face and eye pro-tection equipment shall be kept clean and in good condition, andany eye protection showing structural or optical defects will notcount as meeting the requirement.

Assessing Your RiskAs is the case with most job related injury issues, the first step inkeeping workers safe is to assess what risks exist on your job site.The two most important questions to ask yourself when assessingpotential risks on your job site are what are the most dangerousjobs (by task or tools used) and what are the most hazardous areas(by location) for the eyes. A few potential eye hazard examples areareas where hammering or grinding takes place, wherever chemi-cals are handled, areas where welding is done and anywhere peo-ple are under workers above them. It is important to rememberthat windy or dusty conditions can lead to particles in the eye andthat simply passing through an area where work is being performedcan result in a serious eye injury.

Protecting Your WorkersNIOSH recommends a 3-Part Eye Safety Strategy for reducing theeye injury hazards at your site. The three part strategy consists ofengineering controls, administrative controls and the use of ap-propriate protective eyewear. The best practice is to use engi-neering controls, such as machine guards that prevent the escape ofparticles, welding curtains for arc flash protection and toe kicks onelevated platforms and scaffolding. Examples of administrativecontrols include making certain areas of the site “off limits”, unlessthat is the workers assigned work area, and simply relocating pas-sage ways out of active work zones. The final part of your 3-partstrategy should always be the use of appropriate personal protec-tive equipment (PPE). This may come in the form of safety glasses,goggles or face shields, and every worker on site should be requiredto carry and use this protection at all times.

The eye protection chosen for specific work situations will dependon the nature and extent of the hazard, the circumstances of expo-sure, other protective equipment used, and personal vision needs.The eye protection should be fit to the individual or adjustable toprovide appropriate coverage, as even a small gap in the wrongplace can lead to a serious eye injury. It is important to rememberto account for the user’s comfort, and to make sure that the pro-tection provides an unobstructed view and sufficient peripheral vi-sion. The selection of protective eyewear appropriate for a giventask should be made based on a hazard assessment of each activityand any regulatory requirements.

Several options are available for the different hazards that mayexist on the job site, and making sure the appropriate equipment isused is extremely important. Safety glasses are most commonlyused in situations where the worker may be sawing, hammering ordrilling and should offer ample protection for small impacts. Mostsafety glasses manufactured today are designed as “wrap around”and do not require side shields, but it is important to keep in mindthat many eye injuries occur because there is not adequate pro-tection on the sides of the glasses. If you feel as though your safetyglasses do not offer enough side protection,

SAFETY ON THE JOB

Eye Safety:Use It Or Lose It

Continued e


side shields can be easily attached to any pair of glasses for addedprotection. Newer models of safety glasses also offer the ability tochange out the standard lenses, usually made of polycarbonate,with steel mesh to keep larger pieces of flying debris from injuringthe user.

Goggles are stronger than safety glasses and should be used whenthere is a need for higher impact protection, greater particle pro-tection, chemical splash protection and welding light protection.Goggles being used for splash or particle protection should have in-direct venting, where vents are not located on the face of the gog-gle. Goggles with direct venting, a mesh of small holes around thelenses, will not have as much fogging, but should not be used withliquid or fine dust hazards. When welding with goggles, it is im-portant to make sure that the correct shade number is being used.This shade number will be printed on the lens and will let the userknow how dark the lens is. A list of minimum shade numbers fordifferent welding applications can be found by visitingwww.OShA.gov.

Face shields are used for even higher impact protection, and to addadditional protection for the wearer’s face. The important thing toremember about face shields is that they should always be used inaddition to goggles or safety glasses. Small particles can easily goaround a face shield and the curve of the shield can direct the par-ticles into the eyes. Also, face shields are frequently lifted, whichwould leave the wearer’s eyes unprotected without safety glassesor goggles. Face shields are most commonly used for tasks such asspraying, chipping and grinding.

Now that there is an understanding of the potential hazards for eyeinjury, and the protection products available, the last piece of thepuzzle is to stress the importance of using eye protection to every-one on the job site. Making sure that worker’s put on their pro-tective eyewear as they enter the site, and do not remove it untilthey leave is one of the easiest ways to ensure everyone’s safety.NIOSH also recommends daily or weekly “toolbox talks” where su-pervisors can promote discussions on any and all safety topics. Formore information on, and guides to leading these talks, please visitwww.CDC.gov/NIOSh.
