There’s Room to GROwAmong the numerous

industries impacted by the explosion of oil

and gas exploration and devel-opment in eastern Ohio, lodg-ing ranks high on the list.

If not purchasing homes or leasing apartments, field work-ers and office staff require housing. Some choose to place fifth-wheel campers either on lots made available for that purpose by property owners or in established campgrounds.

But many are lodged in local ho-tels and motels. So many, in fact, that double-digit percent increases in oc-cupancy rates are common.

“The oil and gas industry has im-pacted the Guernsey County lodging industry overall by a 20 percent in-crease,” said Debbie Robinson, exec-utive director of the Guernsey County Visitors & Convention Bureau.

The nine hotels/motels currently operating in Guernsey County, including Salt Fork Lodge in Salt Fork State Park, boast about 900 beds. This figure does not include cabins or bed and breakfast inns.

Aside from bolstering existing lodging establishments, the influx in business has another impact, according to Robinson.

“It has also motivated corporations to pursue the opportunity to build new lodging facilities,” she said. “These new facili-ties will provide more construction work for our residents and, once the facilities are in operation, more hospitality jobs.”

Enter Norm Blanchard and the Cambridge-Guernsey County Community Improvement Corporation.

“We’ve had several ... at least a half dozen ... site selectors for various hotel chains look here,” said Blanchard, the CIC’s executive director. “Three are in the final stages of what they call ‘due diligence’ and are taking a look at where they’re going to be located.”

One new hotel is expected to be erected on the site of a for-mer hotel along Southgate Parkway. The site for another abuts a Sheetz property, also along Southgate Parkway.

The third planned new construction is a complex along Dozer Road, a paved two-lane township road terminating at a campground.

That project exemplifies one characteristic highly sought af-ter by developers: Proximity to major roadways and intersec-tions. In this case, the intersection of Interstate 70 and Route 209 (Southgate Parkway).

It also creates a hurdle to overcome, Blanchard said. Though Dozer Road connects to the state route, it does so near a Pi-

lot truck stop and convenience store. Ingress and egress at the Pilot is not directly governed by a traffic light, though one is located several hundred feet to the north near the eastbound lane off-ramp from the interstate.

Given the amount of tractor-trailer and automobile traffic al-ready experienced at the intersection, the effect of additional traffic entering Southgate Parkway from Dozer Road could create significant traffic snarls.

The Ohio Department of Transportation conducted traffic studies at the site, Blanchard said. Though no solution has yet be decided upon, diverting Dozer Road to the south and con-necting to the state route at a less constricted point is being given consideration.

Naysayers have predicted the gas and oil industry will rise and rapidly fall here.

This is not evidenced, however, by recent purchases in Cambridge, Blanchard said. The planned new ho-tel construction combined with the sale of existing hotels indicates posi-tive and powerful economic forces are at work.

“Those (who purchased the hotels) were all people who obviously saw that something is going to happen in

Cambridge that’s going to make those hotels viable,” he said.The successes in Guernsey County are repeated throughout

much of eastern Ohio. “Twenty percent of our existing rooms (1,300) are being

utilized Monday to Thursday. Additionally, restaurants in the area are showing an increase in business,” said Tuscarawas County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Executive Director Dee Grossman.

The governments of communities with lodging taxes in place are experiencing an increase in revenues.

“We are certainly being strongly impacted by the industry. A great many rooms are being utilized by Chesapeake work-ers and others,” said John Kist of the Stark County (Canton) convention and visitors bureau. “Overall, 2012 will probably be our best year ever for lodging tax.”

The gas and oil industry helped breath new life into a lifeless business recently.

“The Atwood Lake Resort is reopening because of the shale development in Carroll County,” said Director Amy Rutledge of the Carroll County Convention & Visitors Bureau and Car-roll County Chamber of Commerce. “The debt was paid off and the work to reopen has all been paid for by signing bonuses. The influx of workers will give the property a consistent base of room rentals that will let the managers continue to make up-grades to the property. Carroll County is also experiencing an 85 percent increase in bed tax collection over last year, which is attributed to the oil and gas industry.”

They call them “thumper trucks” and they tend to raise eyebrows as peo-

ple attempt to puzzle out their purpose the first time they ap-pear in a community.

Now, they are popping up all over eastern Ohio as the gas and oil industry has rediscovered the region. That correlation be-tween the trucks and the indus-try, indeed, serves as a clue to the trucks’ purpose: Discovery of gas and oil in Ohio’s previ-

ously untapped Marcellus and Utica shale formations.Often a precursor to actual drilling, thumper trucks help the

industry decide which areas more likely harbor the natural gas and petroleum deposits.

The commonly used term, thumper trucks, seems apropos in that that is essentially what the trucks do: Thump the ground. The thumping generates seismic waves in the earth that can be measured and that can offer to the expert eye an image of the structure of what lies thousands of feet below the surface of the earth.

Here’s how it works: Equipped with a large metal “foot,” as it were, the thumper truck raises the foot and then “stomps” the ground. The foot is usually raised to a height of about 10 feet before it is dropped for the impact. The stomping generates seismic waves into the ground that are then reflected back to the surface.

The waves — which reflect or refract differently depending upon the density of the strata they encounter — are picked up by

geophones and recorded graphically. The resulting data is then sold to drilling companies.

What the experts are looking for are indications of a rock layer of a certain porosity — a porous rock layer that could hold gas or oil within it.

word on the Street: Comments from 5 Mayorsthe question, “how is the oil and gas industry impact-

ing your community,” was posed to several mayors of towns or cities situated on the Marcellus-Utica Shale formations.

Tom OrrMayor of Cambridge

“It’s kind of neat to see so many different license plates and so much activity in Cambridge. The discovery of oil and gas in our area has definitely changed our landscape. I’m very excited about the potential benefits from the oil and gas, but I am cautiously opti-mistic.

“Of course, everyone would like everything to be warm and fuzzy, but you have to allow for challenging situations as well as the benefits, ie: the traffic, tankers, big trucks, the noise, longer waits at restaurants, etc. Some people are being dis-placed from their homes. Everything comes with a price. And, of course, the recent storm really stretched our resources and manpower. (Editor’s note: A storm on June 29 in Guernsey County resulted in trees being knocked down, significant dam-age to property and massive power outages, some as long as 10 days.)

“For me, with the arrival of the oil and gas industry, it’s the increase of meetings to attend. There is a lot of speculation by the public, so it is important for me to get — and share — as much reliable and accurate information as possible.

“But, the uptick is the jobs, in the oil and gas industry and local businesses. The unemployment rate in Guernsey County has dropped from 12 to 8 percent, the lowest it has been in years. We should all welcome our new residents.”

lowell AndersonMayor of Caldwell

“The Utica and Marcellus Shale Play has had a great impact for those landowners in Noble Coun-ty. Although it is still in the explo-ration stage, several wells have come in big already.

“One only has to visit the county recorder’s office daily to observe the volume of business being conducted in that office. We are in the heart of Appalachia Ohio and the oil and gas boom is a welcome respite from the failed economy we have experienced during the past five years.

“The Caldwell Village sewer plant has been providing water to one company for the drilling and fracking process. Millions of gallons of water previously released into Duck Creek are now being used to bring the wells into fruition.”

Pat FallotMayor Louisville

“ I think it’s a very good thing that’s going to happen in Stark County, and in the state of Ohio. It will bring jobs, and we want to be sure to have local people fill these job opportunities because the job market has been very dry here.

“We’re very excited about having Chesapeake coming to Louisville, as well as some of the other companies involved in the oil and gas industry. We’re excited, and we welcome them to town.

“We know this will be more traffic in the city, but we also hope it will help our housing industry. We have some houses for sale, and I understand Chesapeake has already been in con-tact with one of our real estate agencies to ask to be considered first when a house goes on the market. That’s a real plus for us. We will also have more students coming into our schools, and funding from the state is based on the number of students. This will be another plus.”

Jim FrielMayor of Newcomerstown

“There is a demand for water. So, the village had to create a bulk station to provide water to be trucked in to drill sites. It was constructed so that it would keep trucks outside of the village. This will protect the streets from the heavy traffic of trucks.

“Our Hampton Inn is being impacted by the gas and oil. They are constantly full and are turning people away due to no rooms. As per the manager, there is no end in sight.

“Officials within the county are stressing that communities have to be prepared for the influx of people coming into our area. They will have needs: a place to stay, restaurants, enter-tainment, essential needs, etc. With this in mind, we need to make the community aware so they (our people) will be pre-pared. This is the main topic of our civic groups. We need to get the word out.”

Farm Bureau to help inform publicIn an effort to better inform

the public in the Newcom-erstown community about

the gas and oil movement, a public meeting has been set up to answer questions.

Dale Arnold of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation will be speaking at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10 at the David Barber Civic Center, 1066 E. State St., Newcomerstown.

Arnold has been director of Energy Services for the Ohio

Farm Bureau Federation since 1995. During his tenure, he has managed self-help energy aggrega-

tion groups, research projects on electric load profiling, energy efficiency, on-site generation, net metering, customer friendly interconnection, biomass energy, pipeline development and oil and gas exploration.

Arnold represents farm, small business and residential en-ergy consumers on utility advisory boards focusing on demand side management/energy efficiency. He has served on local, state and national working groups focusing on technical evalu-

ation, education/outreach, and community planning, all dealing with energy. He has served on task forces leading to creation of Ohio’s Advanced Energy Initiative as detailed in SB 221, and utility scale wind farm siting guidelines created in response to HB 562.

Oil and gas exploration will impact all of Ohio. Arnold is in-volved in regional and state work-ing groups exploring how leasing, pipeline easements and infrastructure expansion will impact farmers and rural communities, and what they can do now to address them.

The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation has over 214,000 mem-bers families statewide. Arnold works with Farm Bureau lead-ers create effective energy policy on local, state and national levels. He has authored papers advocating a Diversified Energy Portfolio using domestic oil and coal resources, nuclear and renewable technologies.

He is a native of Knox County, where his family can trace their involvement in Ohio agriculture starting in the 1820s.

A different kind of pipelinePipelines are an essential

part of the oil and gas business. Without them

you just have very expensive holes in the ground instead of income producing (and tax producing) streams of income for many years to come.

Unlike the small two inch lines of the past, these new lines can measure 18, 24, and even 30 inches in diameter. So, it is important to take the nego-tiations of rights of way seri-

ously. Being fair, but also, pragmatic in your dealings will reward both the landowner and the transmission com-pany. I learned early always to be fair, but most of all, reasonable when negotiating right of way over land where the well is not located.

Like most kids, I learned from my Dad. He was a deputy and later a police officer. On the side, he was a landman for a lot of the small com-panies that dotted our area in the late 1960’s and 70’s. Often my siblings and I got to ride along on those long trips, like to Akron, but mostly, we would end up at a barn or home in Noble or Guernsey County. It was fun for us and I am sure Dad enjoyed having someone along.

I learned a lot from listening. I also learned that my dad was a pretty good detective. It must have been a habit of Mr. 20 Questions (what we called Dad), as he could come away with a lot of information about what was going on in a particular area, who was related to who and some idea of who to talk to next. To Dad, there were other types of pipelines, like the ones he developed for information. I never forgot the lessons he taught me and have developed pipelines of my own along the way.

One such source is the local business community. Dad used to “interrogate” the local barber, men who worked

the late shift cleaning downtown and bribe the paperboys with milkshakes to find that stolen item or find out who was lurking

in the area of the crime. He generally got his man. Learning where everyone went to church on Sunday, the local home-comings, and county fairs were great in-ways for getting his good reputation around. Fair and honest Frank. He lived by it and was proud of it. Never stuck anyone for a nickel and even fought with the company once in a while to get a reasonable deal for all.

Me? Well, I’ve developed and honed those attitudes and skills, too. My favorite source among the business district isn’t the barber, as I have a new one, and we are just getting ac-quainted. I had a girl stylist, but she wasn’t much into what I do. However, one such source has been “old Sudzee” and his sidekick, Irv, the Buffalo Man. Seems everyone has to wash their clothes sometime or the other. Even the guy under the

bridge gets in once a year just in case he meets his Maker. Grandma always said, “Never know when you will need clean drawers!”

Washing clothes is mind-numbing and just outright boring. It’s always nice to have someone to chat with. Old Sudzee, being a former a high stakes, high rolling oil and gas guy, (and you would be surprised at how many of our small businessmen in the area were in oil and gas) loves to talk

the business with his clients. However, like others, he has be-come a necessary hub in the pipeline of information or confir-mation of a rumor I have heard. And, you wonder why all these out of town companies are so secretive about what they do. All this keeps me in the loop with what is happening and the po-tential areas of future happenings. It’s just part of the business.

So, like me, I urge all to develop their “pipelines” of infor-mation. The saying of “ignorance is bliss” doesn’t benefit you when negotiating some of the big pipeline deals coming down the pike. It’s important to understand that the right of way is important to both landowner and the company. A smooth and workable agreement makes for happy parties on both sides for many years to come. Like my Dad, I won’t be around forever, but my legacy in the area may so that’s why it is important to be fair and honest. Something we all need to keep in mind when dealing with others.

Grocery brings ‘taste of home’ to workers

Anyone who has ever traveled for work knows that sometimes

you crave that special food that tastes like home.

Kishman’s IGA owners Tom and Jan Kishman, as well as their sons Tom Jr. and Matt, are bringing “home” to the oil and gas workers in the Minerva area by offering regional foods found in the south.

In preparation for the influx of workers, Tom and Jan trav-

eled to Towanda, Pa., months ago, talking with business own-ers and visiting the IGA there to gather ideas for products to carry.

“Fracking’s been a Godsend,” Tom said, noting the Kish-man’s IGA team has been proactive about seeking the business of oil and gas workers and their families who are moving into

the area, including delivering doughnuts to drilling sites.Always on the lookout for new and innovative ways to serve

its clients, Kishman’s IGA recently added a smoker on its front porch. A variety of products are smoked every day except Sun-day, using hickory from Carroll County, including pulled pork, beef brisket, chicken, salmon, English roast, shaved pork loin, St. Louis ribs, beef ribs, macaroni and cheese, and baked beans.

Jan noted they recently tried a new Vermont white cheddar macaroni and cheese with bacon, which was a big hit.

Kishman’s IGA has also recently expanded its Cajun offer-ings to include crawfish, alligator, Cajun spices, and Commu-nity Coffee roasted in Louisiana, among others, to meet the needs of oil and gas workers moving into the area from the South.

ChESAPEAkE EnERGy promoting safety

Safety surrounding the Utica drilling efforts in Ohio is, of course, a big

concern. Chesapeake Energy Company, the most common energy company found work-ing in this area, reports one way it is making the process of suppling natural gas safer is by utilizing underground pipe-lines.

Chesapeake believes pipe-lines are the safest and most efficient way to transport these

products across the nation. Out of sight and out of mind, they are becoming an integral part of our country’s ever-expanding energy infrastructure. These underground transportation high-ways fill a vital public need by transporting natural gas and pe-troleum products to heat homes, fuel electric generation plants, power vehicles and increase U.S. energy security, and they cut down on truck traffic while doing so.

However, it is important for individuals living or working near pipelines to contribute to pipeline safety by knowing how to recognize pipeline locations in their area, recognizing un-

authorized activity or abnormal conditions near pipelines, and knowing how to react in the unlikely event of a pipeline leak or emergency. In addition, the public is asked to call 811 before digging to ensure no pipelines in the area to be dug will be af-fected.

As technology continually evolves, Chesapeake also makes efforts to utilize new methodology to ensure safety for the pub-lic, its workers and the environment. One example of this is the company’s use of blow-out preventers.

This equipment is used during drilling to protect against un-expected high pressures underground. Automatic emergency shuts-offs are also utilized, and when pipelines are constructed, X-rays are taken to inspect the strength of the welding. The pipes are then filled with water and tested at 1.5 times the nor-mal operating pressure. Chesapeake also reports the company exceeds government regulations for required spill prevention plans at well operations.

Preventative maintenance and routine inspections are also a part of the company’s efforts to ensure safety. In addition, the company routinely examines its work practices. Future issues of Gas & Oil will continue an in-depth exploration and pro-vide updates on Chesapeake’s safety practices in relation to air, green house emissions, groundwater protection, workforce safety and other major areas of concern.

ExPERTS: Some fracking critics use bAD SCiEnCE

In the debate over natural gas drilling, the companies are of-ten the ones accused of twist-

ing the facts. But scientists say opponents sometimes mislead the public, too.

Critics of fracking often raise alarms about groundwater pol-lution, air pollution, and cancer risks, and there are still many uncertainties. But some of the claims have little — or noth-ing— to back them.

For example, reports that breast cancer rates rose in a region with heavy gas drilling are false, researchers told The Associ-ated Press.

Fears that natural radioactivity in drilling waste could con-taminate drinking water aren’t being confirmed by monitoring, either.

And concerns about air pollution from the industry often don’t acknowledge that natural gas is a far cleaner burning fuel than coal.

“The debate is becoming very emotional. And basically not using science” on either side, said Avner Vengosh, a Duke Uni-versity professor studying groundwater contamination who has been praised and criticized by both sides.

Shale gas drilling has attracted national attention because ad-vances in technology have unlocked billions of dollars of gas reserves, leading to a boom in production, jobs, and profits, as well as concerns about pollution and public health. Shale is a gas-rich rock formation thousands of feet underground, and the gas is freed through a process called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in which large volumes of water, plus sand and chemicals, are injected to break the rock apart.

The Marcellus Shale covers large parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia, while the Barnett Shale is in north Texas. Many other shale deposits have been discovered.

One of the clearest examples of a misleading claim comes from north Texas, where gas drilling began in the Barnett Shale about 10 years ago.

Opponents of fracking say breast cancer rates have spiked exactly where intensive drilling is taking place — and nowhere else in the state. The claim is used in a letter that was sent to New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo by environmental groups and by Josh Fox, the Oscar-nominated director of “Gasland,” a film that criticizes the industry. Fox, who lives in Brooklyn, has a new short film called “The Sky is Pink.”

But researchers haven’t seen a spike in breast cancer rates in the area, said Simon Craddock Lee, a professor of medical anthropology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

David Risser, an epidemiologist with the Texas Cancer Reg-istry, said in an email that researchers checked state health data and found no evidence of an increase in the counties where the spike supposedly occurred.

And Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a major cancer advocacy group based in Dallas, said it sees no evidence of a spike, ei-ther.

“We don’t,” said Chandini Portteus, Komen’s vice president of research, adding that they sympathize with people’s fears and concerns, but “what we do know is a little bit, and what we don’t know is a lot” about breast cancer and the environment.

Yet Fox tells viewers in an ominous voice that “In Texas, as throughout the United States, cancer rates fell — except in one place— in the Barnett Shale.”

Lee called the claims of an increase “a classic case of the ecological fallacy” because they falsely suggest that breast cancer is linked to just one factor. In fact, diet, lifestyle and access to health care also play key roles.

Fox responded to questions by citing a press release from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that doesn’t sup-port his claim, and a newspaper story that Risser said is “not based on a careful statistical analysis of the data.”

When Fox was told that Texas cancer researchers said rates didn’t increase, he replied in an email that the claim of unusu-ally high breast cancer rates was “widely reported” and said there is “more than enough evidence to warrant much deeper study.”

Another instance where fears haven’t been confirmed by sci-ence is the concern that radioactivity in drilling fluids could threaten drinking water supplies.

Critics of fracking note the deep underground water that comes up along with gas has high levels of natural radioactiv-ity. Since much of that water, called flowback, was once being discharged into municipal sewage treatment plants and then rivers in Pennsylvania, there was concern about public water supplies.

But in western Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority did extensive tests and didn’t find a problem in area

rivers. State environmental officials said monitoring at public water supply intakes across the state showed non-detectable levels of radiation, and the two cases that showed anything were at background levels.

Concerns about the potential problem also led to regulatory changes. An analysis by The Associated Press of data from Pennsylvania found that of the 10.1 million barrels of shale wastewater generated in the last half of 2011, about 97 percent was either recycled, sent to deep-injection wells, or sent to a treatment plant that doesn’t discharge into waterways.

Critics of fracking also repeat claims of extreme air pollution threats, even as evidence mounts that the natural gas boom is in some ways contributing to cleaner air.

Marcellus air pollution “will cause a massive public health crisis,” claims a section of the Marcellus Shale Protest website.

Yet data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration show that the shale gas boom is helping to turn many large power plants away from coal, which emits far more pollution. And the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency passed new rules to force drillers to limit releases of methane from wells and pumping stations.

Some environmental groups now say that natural gas is hav-ing a positive effect on air quality.

Earlier this year, the group PennFuture said gas is a much cleaner burning fuel, and it called gas-fired power plants “or-ders of magnitude cleaner” than coal plants.

Marcellus Shale Protest said in response to a question about its claims that “any possible benefit in electric generation must be weighed against the direct harm from the industrial process-es of gas extraction.”

One expert said there’s an actual psychological process at work that sometimes blinds people to science, on the fracking debate and many others.

“You can literally put facts in front of people, and they will just ignore them,” said Mark Lubell, the director of the Cen-ter for Environmental Policy and Behavior at the University of California, Davis.

Lubell said the situation, which happens on both sides of a debate, is called “motivated reasoning.” Rational people insist on believing things that aren’t true, in part because of feedback from other people who share their views, he said.

Vengosh noted the problem of spinning science isn’t new, or limited to one side in the gas drilling controversy. For example, industry supporters have claimed that drilling never pollutes water wells, when state regulators have confirmed cases where it has. He says the key point is that science is slow, and research into gas drilling’s many possible effects are in the early stages, and much more work remains to be done.

“Everyone takes what they want to see,” Vengosh said, add-ing that he hopes that the fracking debate will become more civilized as scientists obtain more hard data.

Teachers learn first hand, on siteThe 14th annual Teacher

Workshop at Belmont-Harrison Career Technical

Center in St. Clairsville Aug. 8, 9, attracted 40 teachers from 12 Ohio counties who were interested in promoting the sci-ence of oil and gas in their classrooms. The annual event is sponsored by the Ohio Oil & Gas Energy Education Program.

The two-day workshop included science demonstrations and presentations by OOGEEP staff and industry profession-als, and a bus trip to three oil/gas well sites in the tiny town of Hannibal on the Ohio River, about an hour southeast of St. Clairsville.

“The teacher workshops continue to be one of my favorite events all year. It’s a great time for the teachers and the in-dustry to really connect ... Everyone is fantastic, and I always walk away from these rejuvenated!” said Rhonda Reda, execu-tive director of OOGEEP. “To date, more than 2,600 teachers have participated in the teacher workshops. And, counting this group, teachers from all 88 Ohio counties have participated in the program.

“The workshops help Ohio teachers, students and schools meet their state and national science standards. Teachers also receive information about Ohio scholarships and career op-portunities for their students. And, they all received supplies to conduct the same experiments in their classrooms that they observed at the workshop.”

The workshop offers continuing education credits and op-tional Ashland University graduate credit to teachers who com-plete this free two-day program.

Laura McComb, a teacher at Caldwell Elementary of the Caldwell Exempted Village School District in Noble County,

said she enjoyed the workshop.“The program was very interesting ... I learned a lot. There

were a lot on presentations on the entire oil and gas process. I’m excited to bring this information back to my students,” said McComb.

After completing Day One of the workshop in the classroom, on Day Two the teachers boarded a Lakefront bus to visit, for many, their first upclose view of an old gas well, a new well site and a test well site.

First stop on the field trip itinerary was to the Bradfield No. 1 vertical well in Hannibal, where the group witnessed the startup of a natural gas well that actually has been in produc-tion since 1982.

Scott Talmage, company spokesperson for Northwood En-ergy Corp. based in Columbus, and president of its ancillary company, Northwood Exploration, explained the components of the Bradfield gas well battery (separator, holding tank and meter), while Corp Oil Field Services employee Josh Bailey hand-cranked the motor on the pump-jack. Talmage was also a presenter at the workshop classroom activities.

Next stop was a few miles down the road to the Eisenbarth No. 1 horizontal well on the Marcellus Shale Play completed in 2011. The well is approximately 6,300 feet deep with pipe-lines that stretches almost a mile in opposite directions. The Eisenbarth has been tested for viability and productivity and, according to field supervisor Rick Pyles of Protege Energy II, LLC, “the well is expected to produce 3 mcf (million cubic feet) per day, with condensation (oil) captured equaling 300 barrels — per day — and is one of 12 wells expected to be drilled at the site.”

The water pond adjacent to the well pad is about the size of 10 football fields.

exploration, development and production of the Eisenbarth No. 1 well and the Dangel No. 1 Utica Shale Test Well. The Dangel is located at a (very) high elevation within a five-mile radius of the main road in Hannibal.

The Dangel well is a single stage hydraulic fracture, with a depth of 12,000 feet. It is Northwood and Protege’s newest well site in the area. No projections of productivity were given. The only other “equipment” at the Dangel site were two gigan-tic tanks which looked like regular propane tanks on steroids. The tanks will be used to store condensation (oil) collected from the well.

On the trip back to St. Clairsville, the group viewed the mov-ie “Truthland,” the oil and gas industry’s retort to the “nonsen-sical Hollywood-produced movie which tries to demonize the oil and gas industry,” said Reda.

Sarah Tipka, OOGEEP Education Committee Chair, board member and natural gas and crude oil producer added, “OO-GEEP’s goal is to provide Ohio’s teachers with the information and materials needed to enhance their students’ knowledge of natural gas and crude oil, and their applications throughout the world.”

OOGEEP’s next teacher workshop will be Sept. 24 at the Re-naissance Hotel in Cleveland, in conjunction with the Ameri-can Association of Petroleum Geologists’ annual meeting, and is open to Ohio teachers.

For more information about OOGEEP’s educational and oth-er public outreach programs, call Rhonda Reda at (740) 587-0410, email [email protected], or mail inquiries to OOGEEP, P.O. Box 187, Granville, OH 43023.

ing operations in the area pick up speed. For the city, it means more income tax dollars. For the community, it means up to 400 jobs, 200 of which will be new positions, and a boost to the local economy.

Many are now wondering what makes up a Chesapeake field office, and what companies it may house. Officials report any of the company’s affiliates located in Ohio and nearby may wind up at the new Louisville site, which will be situated on 291 acres the company purchased between Beck Avenue and Route 44, south of Main Street (Route 153). Employees in Chesapeake’s field operations are right in the heart of the com-pany’s production activities. And, since producing oil and nat-ural gas requires many steps between drill site construction and selling production down the pipeline, Chesapeake has founded or acquired field service affiliates to provide the company con-trol over the entire process, which equates to savings as well as speed, by eliminating the need for new contracts every time

a drilling rig is moved, for instance. Many of these affiliates may wind up in the Louisville field office, the most likely of which are listed below along with the year they were bought or created:

• Chesapeake Midstream Development, (2002), pro-vides services to move the product into pipelines.

• Nomac Drilling, (2001), provides drilling services.

• Nomac Services, (2011), delivers drilling, mud log-ging, geosteering and geotechnical services.

• Performance technologies limited, (2011), provides pressure pumping for hydraulic fracturing.

• thunder Oilfield Services, (2011), holds Chesa-peake’s trucking, tool rental and excavating businesses.

• hodges Oilfield trucking, (founded in 1932, acquired in 2006), offers heavy hauling and rig transportation.

• Oilfield trucking Solutions, (2010), provides water

Chesapeake Energy Corporation, building a new field office in Louisville now, is the second-largest producer of natural gas and the most active drilling program in the U.S. The company states it is positioned for growth with an increase in proved reserves, from 2002 through 2011, at a 27 percent, a rise in average daily production at a 23 percent, and an increase in fully diluted adjusted earnings per common share at a 20 percent for the same period.

Chesapeake employs about 13,000 people, with about 4,600 of those being at the company’s corporate headquarters in Oklahoma City. The company is reportedly strapped for cash, currently holding more than $13 billion in debt. Chesapeake officials report that’s primarily because the company has con-

tinued to aggressively expand its business operations and land holdings, even as natural gas prices have plummeted, a con-dition for which the company is partly responsible due to an increase in natural gas supply availability.

SummER CAmP showcases gas and oil drilling

Students attending Minerva Elementary’s first-ever summer enrichment camp

had the opportunity to learn from geologists and oil and gas industry experts, as well as doing hands-on environmental data collection, and publishing a website to share all they learned.

The camp got under way July 9 with team-building activi-ties and an introduction to the Global Learning and Observa-

tion to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) program, a world-wide hands-on, school-based science and education program in which students collect data that is analyzed by scientists.

“They were very excited that the science they were going to be doing was real and the data was going to be used by real scientists,” said camp leader Debbie Hartwig.

The students also participated in an activity that introduced them to geology and the life cycles of different types of rocks. They also learned about taking core samples by “drilling”

through various types of candy bars with drinking straws and trying to identify what was in each from the sample.

The students then participated in a “web quest,” in which each student chose to be a geoscientist, petrochemical engi-neer, investigative journalist or a graphic designer. The groups of students were then charged with becoming experts on the oil and gas industry throughout the week and working together to create a website for the community.

While at the Beech Creek Botanical Garden and Nature Pre-serve in Alliance, the group also did soil experiments, led by GLOBE Trainer Nancy Baker-Cazan. The students learned to assess the color, texture and moisture levels of soil, and to use vinegar to test the pH, all tests done by oil and gas industry scientists.

Dominion East Ohio Gas Company geologist and Minerva resident Phil Zbasnik shared his rock collection with the stu-dents and also explained the geology of shale-gas deposits and the drilling and fracturing process.

Chesapeake Energy hydrogeologist Mark Deering talked to the students about the science of geology, and Aimee Belden, Chesapeake Community Relations representative, gave the children an up-close look at a Chevy Tahoe that runs on com-pressed natural gas.

The group then traveled to a drilling site in Carroll County where Chesapeake Manager of Corporate Development Ryan Dean explained what they were seeing.

On Friday, the students finished and launched their website,

which can be seen at http://kafafa.com/accounts/minervain-fodepot/. Their parents also visited to see a slide show of the week’s activities. The students said they hope to continue add-ing to the website during the upcoming school year.

The enrichment camp was entirely funded by Chesapeake Energy, which also provided goody bags, notebooks and rock kits for the students.

In Carroll County where there are more than 100 well sites, residents have noticed a quick trip to the store takes a little longer.

“Traffic is the biggest thing we have seen, the additional traf-fic.”

“I start my day at 7:15 a.m. and it is OK. But by 8 a.m., the traffic on Main Street and Canton Road gets bad until 4-5 p.m. It’s like someone flipped a switch. That’s the biggest thing we have seen at this point.”

Roudebush noted the village and county officials have spo-ken to officials at the Ohio Department of Transportation about adding turn lanes and turn signals at some of the intersections.

“Nothing has materialized yet,” he said. He believes local officials will need to continue to stress the importance of those improvements.

State Routes 9, 39 and 43 travel through the village and are heavily traveled by both local and truck traffic.

Although the village has seen an increase in population, Roudebush said the village has seen minimal changes in the income-tax revenue, but “that may change.”

Marcellus Shale ‘a national treasure’

The Marcel-lus Shale is about to be-

come the most pro-ductive natural gas field in the U.S., ac-cording to new data from energy industry analysts and the fed-eral government. Ten years ago the United States Geological Survey estimated that the Marcellus Shale contained 1.9 Tcf

(trillion cubic feet) of recoverable natural gas. Al-though that is a lot of gas, spread over the enormous geographic extent of the Marcellus, it was not that much per acre.

With recent Marcellus natural gas production rates surging to almost 6 Bcfd (billion cubic feet per day), comprising 9% of U.S. production, USGS now es-timates recoverable reserves of 84 Tcf, and perhaps as high as 144 Tcf. Other studies have ranged nearly ten times higher than that! Whatever the reserves ul-timately prove to be, it is widely agreed that the Mar-cellus Shale is a national treasure.

Named for the town of Marcellus, New York, where the shale reaches the surface, it is a geologi-cal structure that formed roughly 390 million years ago when Devonian age seas covered much of North America. The black, low density, carbonaceous (i.e., organic rich) shale lies beneath much of the Appa-lachian Basin of Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York, as well as small areas of Maryland, Virginia and other states.

Most of the Marcellus Shale layer lies a mile or more below the earth’s surface, making it an expensive drilling target. Typi-cal drilling costs exceed several million dollars for a horizontal well with hydraulic fracturing. Some of the more prevalent ar-eas to date are those where thick layers of Marcellus Shale can be drilled at minimum depths. In West Virginia, the Marcellus formation is as much as 200 ft. thick. In extreme eastern Penn-sylvania, it is 790 ft. thick, thinning to the west, becoming only 49 ft. thick along the Ohio River and only a few feet thick in Licking County, Ohio.

Natural gas is trapped within the pore spaces of the shale, having difficulty escaping through the very thin and poorly connected pore spaces. This low permeability meant that his-toric wells in the Marcellus produced gas at unimpressive rates, however many of them continued to produce gas for decades. As with other shales, relatively new horizontal drilling and hy-draulic fracturing technologies have allowed this rich resource

to be developed economically, and production rates are much, much higher than what was seen in earlier wells.

It is estimated that more than 1000 Marcellus gas wells have been drilled in northern Pennsylvania, but are not yet flowing because of insufficient interstate and gathering pipeline infra-structure to take the gas to market. Interstate pipelines added nearly 1.5 Bcfd of capacity last year, and many additional pipe-line projects have been proposed or are in various stages of completion. The boom also has expanded demand for gas com-pression and processing facilities. Further, Shell Oil Co. plans to build a $2 billion petrochemical plant north of Pittsburgh to turn Marcellus gas into other consumer and industrial products including plastics.

In less than five years, the Marcellus Shale has turned the northeast U.S. into one of the most important natural gas pro-ducing regions of the country, with vast amounts of investment continuing to enter the region.

The Kishmans are working on plans for a 10,000 square-foot addition and a complete remodel and reorganization of the store, which will enable it to better serve the Stark, Carroll and Columbiana counties market.

The addition will extend north toward U.S. Route 30, en-compassing new, larger storage rooms and two new loading docks. In conjunction with the addition the interior of the store will be completely remodeled and reorganized, Jan said.

Tom credits loyal customers with making the expansion pos-sible, adding, “We’d like to thank everybody in Minerva and the tri-county area for supporting us. If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t be able to do this.”

Role of coal has changedAs spokesman for the

Guernsey-Muskingum Electric Cooperative,

Inc., Garry Mbiad, general manager and CEO, said the coop-erative was founded in 1938 in New Concord by a group of farmers from Guernsey, Noble, Morgan, Muskingum and Tus-carawas.

Mbiad has been employed at GMEC for 32 years. He is of-ficially retiring Aug. 31.

“The farmers banded together, secured a loan from the gov-ernment, established good business practices, and eventually became part of Buckeye Power, Inc., the generation and trans-mission cooperative jointly owned by 25 distribution coopera-tives in Ohio,” said Mbiad.

“Although cooperatives are continuously evolving because of changing regulations, the biggest changes occurred from the 1930s until the mid-1970s when most rural areas were electri-fied.

“The main power source for electricity in Ohio was and re-mains coal because of our abundant supply. Eighty percent of the cooperatives’ power supply is coal, 10 percent is gas and 10 percent renewables. (Renewable energy comes from natural resources such as hydropower, sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat, which are naturally

replenished.)“Nuclear energy has been too ex-

pensive and the waste is hard to get rid of. Over the test of time coal has been the king of electricity markets because of its availability and because it has been the cheapest. Coal has al-ways set the floor for electric genera-tion prices.

“But, that’s not the case any more. There is a war on coal in this country both in terms of mining it and burning it. Many older coal power plants have been closed or will be closed because they are either too impractical or too expensive to retrofit to comply with new EPA standards.”

Mbiad said the cost of coal is increasing because of addi-tional regulations on coal mining; stricter regulations on burn-ing and the increasing cost of transporting the coal to the plant. And, demand is down because of the recession in 2008 when there was a loss of manufacturing.

The biggest blow to the coal industry is the recent discovery of a huge reserve of shale resources in the Marcellus and Utica Shale Formations which has allowed natural gas to take a huge chunk of power generation from coal, Mbiad said.

“Natural gas is cheaper and cleaner,” he said. “But, we are still in the infancy stage, relating to the demand for electricity by oil and gas companies, for their well sites, field offices and

processing plants.“If we pursue all the energy poli-

cies in this country, coal will certainly continue to have a valuable place at the table, though no longer the undis-puted King for electric generation, it will continue to be a member of the Royal Family, along with the new Prince — natural gas.

According to the U.S. Energy in-formation Administration, since 2004, natural gas usage has increased from 17.9 percent in 2004 to 30.8 per-

cent projected for in 2012. In 2004, coal led the energy indus-try with 49.8 percent of all U.S. electricity generation for all sectors (businesses, homes, government), steadily declining to a projected 36.7 percent in 2012. U.S. power plants have in-creased natural gas use by 40 percent compared to 2011.

But not all the news is depressing for the coal industry, one of the biggest — and most costly — projects is Buckeye Pow-er’s flagship Cardinal Power Plant in Brilliant, Ohio, which will soon join the “best in class” in reduction of emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, mercury and particulates, with the completion of flue gas desulfurization systems, commonly know as “scrubbers.”

The $300 million project, launched four years ago, will re-

Ohio’s gas/oil industry honors OOGEEP exec Rhonda Reda

Rhonda Reda, executive director of Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program, was surprised by more than 600 of her industry peers and family members

last week at the Ohio Oil and Gas Association’s annual meet-ing as she was presented the distinguished 2012 Ohio Oilfield Patriot Award.

The annual award acknowledges one individual who, by their actions and service, has made significant efforts to pro-tect, promote and advance the common interest of those en-gaged in all aspects of Ohio’s oil and natural gas industry. Award sponsor Dan Pottmeyer, president, Producers Service Corporation (Zanesville), commented at the ceremony, “Her service and actions continue to make the Ohio oil patch the best in the country. Her work ethic, honesty and integrity have led to better exploration, development and production of the natural resources found in our great state. Her vision and lead-

ership is being recognized with this award.”

A shocked and tearful Rhonda Reda addressed the large audi-ence, stating, “I am truly honored and humbled by this award. It is a pleasure and a privilege to be part of this great industry. These are extremely exciting times, I am truly honored to work with so many outstanding and quality people that help produce energy in this great state and in this country.”

Reda helped formed OOGEEP in 1997 and since then Ohio’s energy education efforts have been recognized statewide, na-tionwide and internationally. To date, more than 2,600 teach-ers have participated in OOGEEP teacher workshops; 800 firefighters have participated in OOGEEP’s firefighter training programs; 1,400 industry workers have participated in special-ized training programs, 200 students have been awarded either scholarships or science fair awards, and, last year alone, Reda has also given more than 170 public presentations covering workforce development, economic opportunities, jobs and in-formation on the exploration, drilling and producing practices

Rex Energy assists county firefighters with turnout gear

Rex Energy Corporation, based in State College, Pa., continues to support

Carroll County with its most recent donation of $10,000 to the Carroll County Volunteer Fire Department for turnout gear.

The donation will allow the fire department to purchase six sets of protective turnout gear, including new boots, gloves, pants and coats that firefighters wear when responding to emergencies.

“Rex Energy is proud to partner with local organizations and is steadfast in its commitment to safety, the environment and continuous improvement,” said Thomas Stabley, CEO of Rex Energy. “Partnering with first responders in areas where Rex Energy has operations and ensuring that they are well prepared and equipped to respond to emergencies in the community is a key tenant of our operating principles. We thank these men and women and their families for their service to the commu-

nity, and we look forward to building upon our commitment to this region as our development activities continue in Carroll County.”

Rex Energy was contacted by the Carroll County Volunteer Fire Department requesting assistance in raising $10,000 to aid in purchasing new turn-out gear.

Recognizing the fact that these volunteer firefighters put their lives on the line each and every time they respond to a call, Rex Energy was honored to have the opportunity to invest in the community by making this contribution to their fundrais-ing efforts.

The company’s first Ohio well is located in Carroll County and its office is located in the county seat, Carrollton.

Last year, the company donated $10,000 to the Carroll Coun-ty Genealogical Society, which was used to purchase a micro-film reader/printer and a computer system to run the reader.

“We thank these men and women and their families for their service to the community, and we look forward to building upon our commitment to this region as our development activities continue in Carroll County.”

involved in the development of natural gas and crude oil in Ohio.

“Rhonda is an enthusiastic educator and tireless advocate on behalf of the oil and gas industry,” said Jerry James, president of OOGA, and of Artex Oil Co.

“She has travelled throughout the state educating Ohioans of all ages about the processes and benefits of oil and gas explo-ration, and our membership greatly appreciates her efforts and contributions. She is the embodiment of an Oilfield Patriot.”

Tom Stewart, OOGA executive vice president, believes Rhonda Reda plays an integral role not only in Ohio, but across the United States. “She is recognized nationwide as a leader in energy education, as an advocate for the industry, and ferocious defender of the industry,” said Stewart.

“There are several energy education programs across the na-tion, and no one does it better than Ohio,” said Charlie Burd, executive vice president of the Independent Oil and Gas As-soc. of West Virginia.

Jerry Jordan, Knox Energy, Inc., and former chairman of the Independent Association of America, added, “she has contrib-uted greatly in a diverse list of ways. She knows what the mis-sion is, gets involved and gets it done.”

Chief Brent Gates of the New Concord Fire Dept. and Ohio Fire Chiefs’ Association board of directors, commented “She shows so much respect. It’s a five star organization. She will always be a part of the fire service for what she has done for

fire departments in the State of Ohio.” Jeanine Gogolski, Education Partners, LLC, and former

Ohio teacher, praised Reda for her efforts in education and conduction of OOGEEP’s Science Teacher Workshops, stating “Rhonda has helped reach thousands of teachers and students around Ohio with facts and information about Ohio’s oil and gas industry and has done it in many ways.”

Past Oilfield Patriots include Steven L. Grose (2011), Da-vid R. Hill (2010), James R. Smail (2009), W. Jonathan Airey (2008), Sarah Tipka (2007) and Jerry James (2006). David R. Hill, Sarah Tipka and Jerry James have all served on the board of directors for OOGEEP and OOGA.

The Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program is a non-profit statewide public outreach program. Its mission is to fa-cilitate educational, scholarship, safety and training programs; to promote public awareness about the industry; and to demon-strate to the general public the environmental, energy and eco-nomic benefits of Ohio’s independent natural gas and crude oil producers. OOGEEP is not funded with any taxpayer dollars.

The Ohio Oil and Gas Association is a statewide trade as-sociation with over 2,600 members who are actively involved in the exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas within the State of Ohio. The Association’s mission is to protect, promote, foster and advance the common interests of those engaged in all aspects of the Ohio crude oil and natural gas exploration and production industry.

move approximately 98 percent of sulfur dioxide produced in the generation process, and will allow it to continue to burn Central Appalachian coal.

“Even though older coal plants are being retired in favor of natural gas plants, newer modern coal plants like Cardinal, that have made the investments to reduce emissions, will continue to be competitive, even with natural gas,” said Mbiad.

“I think consumers might be wondering why don’t we just convert our power plants from coal to natural gas. Well, just like you can’t put diesel fuel in your car instead of gasoline without changing the motor, you can’t just put natural gas in as a fuel source at a coal power plant without major changes. Is it impossible? No. Is it practical? In most cases, no!”

All Ohio cooperatives depend on Ohio Rural Electric Co-operatives, Inc., the statewide trade association, for services like loss control and safety training, group purchasing, lobby-ing and communications, including production of Country Liv-ing magazine, the state’s largest-circulation monthly magazine. The cooperatives get their electricity from Buckeye Power, Inc., an electricity generating and transmission co-op that was formed and is owned by the 25 distribution co-ops, including GMEC. And all these cooperatives are linked together with more than 600 other electric co-ops across the country in a na-tional alliance called Touchstone Energy®.
