In the shale plays, drilling operations produce a significant waste

stream of drill cuttings that must be treated and subsequently

hauled to a landfill for disposal. The typical method for handling

this waste stream is to mix the cuttings with lime and fly ash to tie

up free liquids to meet landfill disposal criteria. The operator is ef-

fectively paying for large quantities of additional material, using a

labor intensive method to facilitate the mixing to achieve the cut-

tings treatment, and then hauling this large volume of material to

landfill for disposal. This results in significant costs to the operator

as well as logistical challenges.

Problem:

An Operator in the Marcellus shale play needed a solution to reduce

its total volume of drill cuttings waste and to reduce the costs as-

sociated with handling and disposing of the waste. The Operator

had been mixing lime into its drill cuttings at a rate of 75% by vol-

ume. This conventional method significantly increased its waste

stream volume and the associated costs for handling, trucking, and

disposing of the waste stream. The Operator called upon CETCO Oil-

field Services to deliver an improved system for its drill cuttings

waste disposal.

Solution:

For over two decades

CETCO has been working

to develop innovative

products and technolo-

gies for solids stabiliza-

tion. Initially, this

development effort tar-

geted soil remediation

and sludge stabilization

at industrial sites, re-

fineries, chemical pro-

cessing plants, and for

decommissioning nu-

clear sites. Drawing

upon this experience,

CETCO engineers recog-

nized that this same

technology could be

brought to the Operator

to reduce its volume of

drill cuttings waste. Compared to utilizing lime, fly ash, and other

traditional solidification agents, the advanced chemistry employed

by CETCO allows a large reduction in total waste volume. Due to the

overall reduction in final volume of waste needing disposal, the Op-

erator saves time and money on both logistics (handling & trucking

waste) and disposal costs.

Method:

CETCO engineers and R&D scientists visited the Operator’s jobsite to

study the drill cuttings and devise a treatment plan with its propri-

etary solids stabilization chemistries. Based on the information,

CETCO deployed a HellBlender™ process equipment package. The

system was set up and operated on-site by CETCO technicians over

a 3-well drilling program. The HellBlender™ unit was placed adja-

cent to the drilling rig and received cuttings directly from the rig’s

operation for processing. The treated cuttings were then fed into

receptacles for hauling directly to a landfill where they met all cri-

teria for landfill disposal.

Outcome:

CETCO Oilfield Services successfully treated

all cuttings received during the drilling pro-

gram, and all material removed for disposal

met landfill criteria. More importantly,

CETCO’s solidification process significantly

reduced the total amount of waste com-

pared to the old method of treatment.

CETCO’s treatment process only required

dosage rates ranging from 1.2 – 1.5% by

weight, reducing the total amount of waste

from the previous method by 42%. The

chart to the right details the actual waste

reductions achieved by CETCO.

The CETCO HellBlenderTM process reduced

truck traffic in and out of the site by an es-

timated 170 trucks for this three well

drilling program. In addition to an overall

cost savings, the Operator did not have to

manage quality control of a waste mixing

operation.

JOB SAFETY

With Oil and Gas companies expanding their reach in the Marcellus and

Utica Shale plays, workers are finding themselves in more and more remote

locations throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. It is important

for HS&E professionals and workers alike to recognize that as we break new

ground in different areas, there is a natural population of wildlife that will

need to be recognized and avoided. This article will outline the safety issues

that arise when coming in contact with venomous snakes, spiders, ticks and

bees in the field, as well as the concerns surrounding what types of bug re-

pellants can be used while onsite.

SNAKES

There are 3 types of venomous snake species indigenous to Pennsylvania

and Ohio, while West Virginia only has two venomous species. All three

states are known to have Northern Copperhead and Timber Rattlesnakes,

and Pennsylvania and Ohio have a third venomous snake called the Eastern

Massasauga. All three of these venomous snakes are members of the pit

viper family, are usually non-aggressive and like to avoid human contact

whenever possible. If you come across one of these snakes, it is important

that you never try to handle or catch them, if left undisturbed they will ei-

ther remain still until the person is gone or move away on their own. You

can immediately tell if a snake is venomous by the rectangular shaped head

and slit-like pupils, and a table describing the venomous snakes in our area

is included in this article.

Other than risking a serious bite, another reason to avoid contact with

these snakes is that they could be endangered in your area and it might be

against the law to handle them. The Northern Copperhead is not endan-

gered, the Eastern Massasauga is considered endangered in Pennsylvania

and Ohio and the Timber Rattlesnake is considered “threatened” in Ohio

and is a “candidate species” in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. A “threat-

ened” species is on the brink of becoming endangered, and a “candidate”

species is on the brink of becoming threatened. As a result of these classi-

fications, it is against the law to harm or kill these snake species.

Paying attention to your surroundings and being aware of what types of

snakes might be in the area where you are working is the best way to avoid

contact, but there are several products available to protect yourself if acci-

dental contact is made with these animals. Snake bite kits can be used to

treat wounds if immediate medical attention is not available. If you are bit-

ten, immediate medical attention is required, but remote locations might

need to have an initial treatment option on hand in the event of an emer-

gency. Other products include snake protection gaiters, chaps and pants.

These products act as a shield to protect the legs from snake bites, which

is where most snake-related injuries are found.

BEES

Bee stings have been an occupational hazard for people working outdoors

for centuries and workers in the Utica and Marcellus are no different. The

best way to protect from being stung by a single bee or attacked by an en-

tire swarm is to avoid nests whenever possible. If you do accidently come

across a nest and it has not been disturbed, slowly and quietly move in the

opposite direction. If you have disturbed the nest and a swarm develops,

it is important to remain as calm as possible. Swatting or running seems to

aggravate stinging insects, and killing certain types of bees will only bring

more to the attack. Try to shield your face with your

arms and slowly move out of the danger zone, or lie down on the ground

and remain still. Once the bees feel as though they are no longer under at-

tack, they will move on. Many people think that getting to a source of

water and jumping in will end the attack, but it is important to note that

Africanized honey bees have been known to wait for their prey to surface

and continue to attack. Avoiding perfumed toiletries like hairspray and

scented sunscreen, as well as suede or leather will help reduce risk, as bees

are attracted to these types of odors.

If you are stung by a bee, or several bees, the first step is to make sure that

the stinger is removed from the skin. After a bee sting, the stinger remains

in the skin and can continue to inject venom into the victim. Once the

stinger is removed, apply ice or a cold compress for comfort, and a hista-

mine blocker like Benadryl will help to reduce swelling. If a severe allergic

reaction occurs, the affected worker must be transported to a medical fa-

cility as soon as possible. Although rare, bee stings can be fatal to people

who are severely allergic. If you have a known bee allergy and work in the

field, be sure to notify your supervisor of the allergy and always be pre-

pared by carrying an epinephrine auto-injector, commonly referred to as an

EpiPen.

SPIDERS

There are two types of venomous spider that can be found in Pennsylvania,

Ohio and West Virginia. All three states are known to have

Northern Black Widow and Southern Black

Widow spiders. These widow spiders are very

similar, but the difference can be seen in the

markings. Both species are jet black in color, and

have a bright red hourglass marking on the un-

derside of the abdomen. All widow spiders will

also have red or white spots running down the

middle of their backs, as well as white stripes

that can run diagonally down the sides of the ab-

domen. The difference between a Northern and

Southern Black Widow can be seen in the hour-

glass marking on the abdomen. The Northern

Black Widow’s bright red hourglass marking usu-

ally appears incomplete, with the bottom half

and top half separated. The Southern Black

Widow will have the same hourglass marking,

but it is usually complete and has more rounded

corners.

Northern and Southern Black widow spiders are

usually non aggressive, and will only attack if

they feel threatened. It is also important to note

that only the females of the species are ven-

omous, males are considered largely harmless.

If bitten by either type of Black Widow, the CDC

recommends cleaning the bite area, wrapping a

tight bandage around the bite to slow the

venom’s spread and seeking immediate medical

attention. If possible, keep the site of the bite

elevated to reduce swelling. Although Black

Widow bites are usually not life threatening, a

doctor may want to treat some bites with some

form of anti-venom.

TICKS

One of the biggest problem insects to look out for while in the field is an-

other member of the arachnid family, the tick. There are several hundred

types of tick species known worldwide, with over 25 species located in

Pennsylvania. Ticks are not venomous, but carry and transmit several types

of bacteria and diseases which can lead to long term health problems or

even death if not properly treated. Diseases transmitted by ticks include,

but are not limited to, Erlichiosis, Tularemia, Rocky Mountain spotted fever,

Tick Paralysis and Lyme disease. Information on these diseases and their

symptoms can be found by visiting the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-

vention website at www.cdc.gov.

According to the CDC website, the best way to prevent Lyme disease and

other tick-borne diseases is to wear light colored clothing, tuck pant legs

into socks, check the body throughout the day for the presence of ticks, to

use tick repellants and to take a hot shower as soon after work as possible.

If an embedded tick is found on your body, use forceps or tweezers to re-

move the tick from the skin. Make sure to grab the tick as close to the head

as possible, as squeezing from the middle can cause toxins to be injected

into the body. Use medium pressure to extract the tick, if the head sepa-

rates while still in the skin, seek medical attention. If symptoms such as

ring-like rash around the bite or red-purplish rash at the ankles or wrists

appear, seek immediate medical attention. The symptoms could be a result

of Lyme diSease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

PREVENTION

There are several products available today that help to repel bugs, but not

all of them are designed to repel ticks. Insecticides containing Permethrin

or DEET are usually the most effective in keeping you safe from ticks. DEET

is the active ingredient in several repellants, while Permethrin is most com-

monly used to treat clothing. It is important to read all labels and even

contact manufacturers directly to make sure that these types of repellants

can be used safely with flame-resistant clothing. In most cases, as long as

the chemicals are not applied via aerosol and are given enough time to dry,

they are not considered flammable. It is best to use DEET in an applied

form, such as a wipe or a cream, as the aerosol properties of most repel-

lants are flammable.

Being aware of the dangers in your work environments is the first step in

keeping you and your workers protected. Hopefully this article has given

you some insight as to what to look for while working in remote areas, and

in some cases, in areas that are not remote at all. More information can be

found on all of the topics listed above by visiting the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention website at www.cdc.gov and the Mayo Clinic Web-

site at www.mayoclinic.com.

The polyurea spray-in-liner is an excellent puncture resistant and

chemical resistant solution for your secondary containment needs.

Polyurea is some of the most chemical resistant lining systems avail-

able today. With the ability to conform to any shape, with no size

limitations and it adheres to many different types of surfaces this is

the perfect product for your secondary containment solution. A 40

mill thick polyurea liner will have 5 times the puncture resistance of

a 40 mill poly ethylene liner. How many times have holes in your lin-

ers cost you thousands of dollars and many man hours to clean up

your spill? With polyurea liners you can rest assured that the com-

mon liner puncture will not occur. There is no need to place expen-

sive gravel inside your containment structure with a polyurea lining

system. Polyurea liners when sprayed a minimum of 40 mills will

weigh enough to hold it down in high wind situations. We have

many different color options, and if you have a color code or paint

chip of your desired color we can match it. There is no down time

for your operation either, our poly liners set up in 30 seconds and

can be immediately put back into service saving you many hours of

down time on typical “one-part” spray lining systems which take up

to 12 days to full cure.

Benefits of polyurea spray-in-liner:

• No VOC’s and Little to No Odor

• Some Systems are USDA and Potable Approved

• Weather Tolerant: Cures at -25ºF to >300ºF even in High

Humidity

• Excellent Resistance to Thermal Shock

• Flexible: Bridges Cracks

• Waterproof, Seamless and Resilient

• Unlimited Mil Thickness in One Application

• Spray, Hand Mix and Caulk Grade Materials

• Excellent Bond Strengths to Properly Prepared Substrates

• Resistant to Various Solvents, Caustics and Mild Acids

• Low Permeability, Excellent Sustainability
