The Eternal Flame Falls is a small waterfall located in the Shale Creek Preserve, a section of Chestnut Ridge Park in Western New York.

A small grotto at the waterfall’s base emits natural gas, which can be lit to produce a small flame. This flame is visible nearly year round, although it can be extinguished and must occasionally be re-lit.

Ohio Teachers

“Empowered” Thanks to Local Natural Gas and Oil Industry OOGEEP hosts free STEM and geology workshops for Ohio’s teachers Thanks to the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program (OOGEEP), teachers from 43 Ohio counties are heading back to their classrooms with an insider’s look into Ohio’s thriving natural gas and oil industry.

Equipped with a first-class curriculum, classroom supplies, science labs and experiments, materials kits and more, teachers who attended OOGEEP’s STEM and Geology Teacher Workshops are more prepared than ever to bring energy education to Ohio’s students.

Steven Pritchard, a teacher at Newcomerstown High School in Tuscarawas County, participated in the geology workshop held in New Philadelphia. Pritchard said, “this was a great experience that allowed me to visualize the layers of geology that make up our area.”

OOGEEP holds teacher workshops throughout the year to help foster energy education by connecting STEM and geology education and the energy industry.

The curricula for both of OOGEEP’s workshops were designed by teachers, for teachers, to be integrated directly into Ohio’s educational standards. Teachers spend a full day in the classroom learning from industry professionals and award-winning educators alike before heading out on a unique, industry-related field trip to see Ohio’s energy development in action.

“Ohio’s teachers are the building blocks of our future and Ohio’s natural gas and oil industry workers are the building blocks of America’s energy independence,” OOGEEP’s Executive Director Rhonda Reda said. “Our industry has increased from 14,000 employees to more

than 200,000 in less than 10 years. With an impactful industry employing that many of Ohio’s graduates, we want teachers to be equipped with accurate information, that way they can educate students on the importance of the industry and prepare them for one of the 80 different careers available to them within it.”

Thanks to the generosity of Ohio’s natural gas and oil producers, OOGEEP provides these workshops at absolutely no cost to Ohio teachers or their school districts. The industry covers all expenses for teachers to attend the two-day workshops, as well as a wide variety of free resource materials, lab supplies, lesson plans, classroom posters and maps, rock and mineral kits, internet resources and activities all for them to bring back to their classrooms. These workshops also provide an opportunity for continuing education credit through Ashland University. More information about the workshops can be found at http://www.oogeep. org/teacher-students/.

The Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program (OOGEEP) is a non-profit statewide education and public outreach program. Created in 1998, OOGEEP provides a variety of programs throughout the State of Ohio.

These programs primarily focus on teacher workshops, scholarships, science fair, firefighter training, industry training, career and workforce development, research and guest speaker programs.

Newcomerstown teacher Steven Pritchard joined peers from across Ohio for OOGEEP’s summer geology workshop.

Wait…

Who’s Trying to Beat Climate Change?

Energy Expert and Retired U.S. Army Major General Paul E. Vallely Analyzes the Industry’s Effort to “Go Green.”

U.S. ARMY MAJOR GENERAL PAUL E. VALLELY RETIRED | Stand Up America The energy industry is waging war against climate change -- and winning.

Last month, the Environmental Partnership, a group of oil and gas firms dedicated to cutting greenhouse gas emissions, released its first annual progress report. The results are impressive -- and showcase what happens when an industry unites to further the public good.

The Environmental Partnership launched in late 2017 with 26 members. Within 12 months, it more than doubled in size to 58 members -- including 32 of America’s top 40 oil and gas producers. Today, its members account for nearly half of America’s oil and natural gas production.

The group focuses on cutting emissions of methane and other greenhouse gases known as “volatile organic compounds.” Without proper monitoring and maintenance, these gases can escape from drilling rigs and pipelines and contribute to global warming.

Methane emissions from natural gas systems fell over 14 percent between 1990 and 2017.

Even before the partnership formed, firms were spending millions to reduce their carbon footprints.

Methane emissions have plummeted in America’s largest energy-rich basins, even as oil and gas production has spiked.

But firms in the Environmental Partnership weren’t satisfied with that progress. They sought to slash emissions even further.

First, the partnership focused on updating outdated technology like high-bleed pneumatic controllers.

Pneumatic controllers regulate temperature, pressure, and liquid levels at natural gas sites by opening or closing valves. To operate these valves, the controllers rely on pressurized natural gas. As their name suggests, high-bleed pneumatic controllers can release relatively

8

OhioGas&Oil

large amounts of natural gas, along with methane and VOC byproducts, into the air.

The Environmental Partnership plans to replace all high-bleed pneumatic controllers in five years. And it’s well on its way to doing so. It replaced, retrofitted, or removed more than 28,000 prior to 2018 and an additional 3,000 last year. As a result, nearly 40 participating firms don’t use high-bleed controllers at all.

Second, the partnership set out to curb methane leaks -- which can sometimes happen as firms extract, store, and burn natural gas. Methane is both a potent greenhouse gas and the main ingredient in natural gas.

Participating companies conducted more than 156,000 surveys across 78,000 production sites, inspecting more than 56 million individual parts.

After its thorough inspections and repairs, the Environmental Partnership found that just 0.16 percent of industry parts contained leaks -- and member firms repaired 99 percent of those in 60 days or less.

Participating firms also worked to better monitor liquid removal from natural gas wells. When too much liquid, mostly consisting of water, builds up within gas wells, firms manually direct the liquid to vents that bring it to surface. During that process, methane or volatile organic compounds can potentially escape into the atmosphere.

Over the course of 2018, the Environmental Partnership oversaw more than 130,000 manual removals to ensure environmentally safe execution.

Methane emissions from natural gas systems fell over 14 percent between 1990 and 2017. The Environmental Partnership’s initiatives will undoubtedly cut these emissions even further. According to the EPA’s own estimates, reducing methane leaks and replacing highbleed controllers can slash emissions by 40 and 60 percent, respectively.

Energy firms are weaponizing their data and tools for the common good. Let’s hope they keep up the fight in the war against climate change.

Oilfield of Dreams

Charity Softball Game Is a Grand Slam MIKE CHADSEY | OOGA Director of Public Relations It was a perfect early fall morning with the sun shining and a cool breeze in the air as oilfield truck after truck pulled into the Lynn Hunkler Memorial park on the outskirts of Morristown in the heart of Belmont County.

Twenty of the most active shale drillers and pipeline companies had signed up to play against each other in a friendly softball game.

The goal was to raise funds, in partnership with the “Foundation of Appalachia,” for the “First Book Foundation.” First Book provides teachers, coaches, pastors, and youth directors access to cheap if not free books, reading materials and various other educational items. The game raised $30,000! The Big Rig Bench Warmers, made up of producers, took on the Mainline Misfits, consisting of midstream companies. So right off the bat, one could see that while we take raising much need funds serious, we were however, not taking ourselves too seriously.

The idea was hatched a few months ago during a routine meeting within the industry. The question was

OCTOBER 2019

a simple: What else can we do this year to give back to the communities in which we operate? Out of that popped an idea that the Association had not taken a swing at before: A charity softball game. Member company after member company quickly signed up and that is when we realized we really had something.

A special thanks must go out to Larry Merry and Sheri Butler at the Belmont County Port Authority for securing a field that was in wonderful condition in a community that welcomes oil and gas activity. Also, thanks to the Distribution Now team for providing a cookout for lunch as well as some favorite stadium treats.

Before the teams took the field, Chase Watts, Founder of “Books With Badges,” tossed the ceremonial first pitch. Chase is a member of the Ohio Highway Patrol and provides school age children he meets during his duties as a trooper books out of his cruiser. Those books are provided by the “First Book Foundation.” He wants them to know that members of law enforcement are helpers and that students and children alike do not Oilfield continued on page 11

Celebrate the Wins Guest Editorial

GREG KOZERA | Shale Crescent USA I learned from personal experiences a positive attitude is much more effective than a negative attitude when it comes to success. As a young manager in Ohio I inherited a facility that was one of the top revenue producers in the country. Our employees were proud of this and expected to succeed year over year. Unfortunately, our safety record was horrible. The employees assumed this was a price of success. We had to convince everyone we could operate accident free and still be a top revenue producer. One of the things we did was to celebrate the little wins, like working a

month accident free. Every win built their belief. We began to win safety awards for driving over 1 Million Miles Accident Free and working injury free. Ultimately, we became known for our safety in addition to being a top revenue producer. Celebrating little wins built our people’s belief and a positive attitude that created succeess.

When I was going through my cancer treatments over 30 years ago I saw the same group of people every week. We got to know each other as we faced the challenge of this disease. I celebrated little wins like being able to play with my kids and still work being able to during the treatments. The patients fit into two

groups. One group remained positive and upbeat. We got to know and encourage each other. We laughed and smiled. This group did very well. Many like me finished their treatments and were ultimately cured. The other group had a negative attitude. They were fatalists and tended to avoid others. Sadly, I watched these people deteriorate. Many died before my treatments finished.

Celebrating the little wins helps to create a positive attitude. A celebration should be a celebration. No “buts…” Have you ever had that boss or coach who told you, “Great job but…” You can fill in the blank. We can always improve. The improvement message should be saved for another time. Let the success be enjoyed. It will build belief.

Last week I was at the West Virginia Chamber’s Business Summit. It was a celebration of success. West Virginia has historically been on the bottom of most positive lists for years. It was uplifting to see West Virginia Celebrate continued on page 12

have to be afraid of the badge.

Just before the game got underway, the two teams joined with each other and the staff from the “Foundation of Appalachia” at home plate for the check presentation. “OOGA’s Oilfield of Dreams charity event will help so many children in eastern Ohio dream even bigger by connecting them with high-quality books,” said Cara Dingus Brook, President & CEO of the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio. “Books are essential to children’s educational and future success, but too many students in our region are going without an adequate supply, which is why we are so grateful for OOGA’s generous support – and so ready to play ball.”

With the game underway, there was some great softball being played. Folks were really enjoying the sport, the friendly competition and the networking. After seven innings of play, the game was over. But the laughs and comradery continued as everyone lined up for lunch.

This entire day would not have been possible without the support and commitment of time and treasure from the Association’s membership. Not only did they write checks and participate in the game, but, most importantly, they continue to truly support their local communities to make Ohio a great place to live, work and play.

U.S. natural gas production continued to increase in August, setting a new daily production record of 92.8 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) on August 19, 2019, according to estimates from IHS Markit. Natural gas production also set a new monthly record in August, averaging more than 91 Bcf/d for the first time. In the latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), released on September 10, 2019, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts dry natural gas production to average 93.4 Bcf/d from September through the end of the year. U.S. natural gas production increased by 7.1 Bcf/d (8%) between August 2018 and August 2019, led by production gains primarily in the Northeast.

have been on a downward trend since early spring.

Spot prices at other natural gas hubs across the country have continued to sell at discounts to Henry Hub. Record growth in U.S. natural gas production continues to put downward pressure on prices. This summer, prices have continued to decline despite high levels of natural gas exports and increased consumption in the electric generation sector.

Henry Hub prices averaged $2.40 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in June and $2.37/MMBtu in July—the lowest monthly averages for June and July since 1999—as growth in natural gas production continued to offset growth in consumption. In its September STEO, EIA forecasts Henry Hub prices to increase through the remainder of the year, ultimately averaging $2.55/MMBtu in December.

Natural gas storage has been absorbing a significant amount of the increase in U.S. production.

Working natural gas inventories in the Lower 48 states began the injection season (April 1) about 30% lower than the previous five-year (2014–18) average level for that time of year. By the week ending August 30, 2019, working natural gas inventories were just 3% lower than the five-year average for that time of year. The net injection rate into storage during that time was equal to 11.9 Bcf/d, or about 30% more than the typical injection rate for that period, based on the average of the previous five years.

You successfully navigated your special exception or conditional use hearing and have received your zoning permit! With those local regulatory hurdles in the rearview mirror, it’s time to start moving dirt, right? Not so fast. Have you prepared a sound impact assessment to model projected noise levels at nearby structures? Have you implemented appropriate noise mitigation measures? Has the municipality approved your proposed plans to make your truck route passable, or is it requiring compliance with its standards for new roads in residential and commercial developments? Is the municipality insisting on permanent stormwater management controls that conflict with the state’s requirements? Will any of the proposed facilities also require a building permit, and, if so, do construction code provisions intended for residential and commercial developments make sense in the context of oil and gas development? Are the application and review fees being charged reasonable and legal? This program will provide an overview of non-zoning regulations operators encounter at the local level and address best management practices operators can implement to mitigate impacts on their projects.
