The success ofhorizontal drilling andhydraulic fracturing inthe Bakken play hascome to bear on notonly how an oil-bearingunit is exploited butalso how oil and gaswells are spaced.During recent years, thelandscape in NorthDakota’s oil patch istaking on a muchdifferent look from theone that started in thespring of 1951 whenAmerada Hess struckoil on ClarenceIverson’s farm justsouth of Tioga.

Matching drilling toinfrastructurePrior to 1987, all wellsdrilled in the WillistonBasin were vertical withthe well borepenetrating one ormore producing zones.

With those conventionalwells, a producingunit’s pressure forcesoil and gas to the wellbore. Eventually,however, the flow of oiland gas declines and

must be accomplishedwith mechanicalpumps. With verticalwell drilling, typicalNorth Dakota wellspacing was one wellper 40-80 acres, insome areas one wellper 160-320 acres. Thespacing depended onthe expected drainageof the producing zones.

In order to space wellsfor maximumproduction and themost efficient use ofresources, operatorsand regulators normallyemploy acceptedformulas that take intoconsideration areservoir’spermeability, depth,number of pay zonesand other data. Thecalculation methodshave improved overtime with technological

improvements and aspetroleum engineersgained a betterunderstanding ofindividual reservoircharacteristics.

Historically, only about1-3 of every 10exploratory verticalwells producedcommercial quantitiesof oil and/or naturalgas. By contrast, wellover 95 percent ofBakken horizontal wellsdrilled becomeproducers.

“Because horizontaldrilling exposes a muchlonger portion of thewell bore, it has thepotential for muchgreater — and muchfaster — productionfrom a single well,” saysBruce Hicks, assistantdirector of the NorthDakota Oil and GasDivision. “So, operatorsmust focus moreintensively on theirlong-term productiongoals — everythingmust be taken into

consideration in orderto get oil to market.”

Hicks says being ableto connect to existinginfrastructure isespecially critical in an

operator’s planning.“Having gatheringfacilities, storage units,processing plants,pipelines and railshipment capacity inplace has to beplanned well ahead ofdrilling,” he says.“Otherwise,infrastructure can beoverwhelmed andresult in serious delaysand bottlenecks.”

Energy corridors,multi-well pads, andmultiple layer drilling North Dakota’s daily oilproduction now tops900,000 barrels and isforecast to continue toincrease to more than 1million barrels per dayin the coming months.Some forecastersbelieve productioncould reach 1.5 to 2million bopd by 2025.

Current changes in wellspacing could makethose forecastsachievable.

Division has workedwith operators toposition and spacedrilling sites along‘energy corridors,’especially in themature Bakken play,which underlies partsof nine western NorthDakota counties —primarily Williams,Mountrail, Dunn andMcKenzie,” Hickscontinues. “Thecorridors provideorderly developmenton 1,280-acre (onemile by two mile)spacing units. Usingthis configuration, wellpads are positioned in-line parallel to east-west access roads(corridors). Horizontallaterals (up to 10,000feet long and perhaps10,000 feet deep) then

extend in a paralleldirection to the foot ofthe spacing unit.”

While the use of energycorridors is having amarked landscapeimpact, subsurfacechanges are occurringas well. Operators arenow tapping multiplelayers in the Bakkenand underlying ThreeForks formations fromsingle well pads. “Someoperators are evenusing a single well boreto drill two laterals,which makes moreefficient use of drillingrigs,” Hicks says. Nearlythree-fourths of allBakken wells are nowdrilled from pads.About four wells perpad is the norm.

Energy corridors alsoallow drillers to exploitmultiple producingzones of the Bakkenand Three Forks (seediagram). Using thisstrategy, drillers mightaccess as many as 15-20 wells from a singlepad allowing a spacingunit to be drained of oiland gas as efficiently aspossible. Manyoperators are alsoemploying a techniquecalled “batch drilling,”where several adjacentwells are drilled inalternating segments.First the well bores arestarted, then thevertical bores drilled,and finally the lateralsare completed. Theefficiency gains herecome from less downtime due to cleaning

tanks and changingand cleaning drillingequipment from oneoperation to another.

More wells drilledper rigHicks underscores thebenefits of energycorridors, multi-paddrilling, and multi-zonedrilling. “Drilling fourwells from a single padsaves eight acres ofsurface area over singlewell spacing,” he says.“In addition, it reducestruck traffic, allows forthe common use oftanks and other on-sitefacilities, and improvesthe planning and timingof pipelineconstruction.”

strategies is the reduced time ittakes to move equipment andfacilities from one well site toanother. “The drilling rig is the mostexpensive piece of equipment indrilling a well. So, reducing thenumber of rig days can be asubstantial money saver,” heexplains. “For example, just usingbatch drilling can save an operator10-15 percent on drilling costs —$400,000 to $500,000 per well. Byworking more efficiently, operatorscan actually drill more wells (and

thereby increase total production)even when fewer rigs are operatingacross the basin.”

Hicks notes that reducing costshelps keep Bakken oil competitivewith other tight shale oil plays —most notably Texas’ Eagle Fordshale. “Companies that have assetsin several plays will invest where theyget the best return — it simplymakes good business sense and it’swhat investors expect.” ■

North Dakota is strengtheningour energy security

Greetings from the Office of the Governor!

Welcome to Bismarck and the 22nd Annual Williston Basin PetroleumConference.

We are honored to host this international conference and to highlight NorthDakota’s energy industry. We extend a special welcome to all those who arevisiting North Dakota from across the United States, Canada and fromaround the world. I am confident you will find this conference a valuableresource for your business and organization.

North America is emerging as a global leader in energy development, andnowhere is our energy renaissance more apparent than in the WillistonBasin.

This week, representatives of the world’s oil and gas industry will come

together to learn more about the latest developments in the Williston Basinand to celebrate the successes of the Bakken Formation.

I want to thank the North Dakota Petroleum Council and the many othersponsors of this conference for developing a great line-up of speakers andexhibitors.

We appreciate the opportunity to work with our many partners throughoutNorth American and across the globe, and we are proud that North Dakotais playing such an important role in strengthening our nation’s energysecurity.

Enjoy the conference and your visit to North Dakota!

North Dakota stands asa national leader

Dear Attendees,

It is a pleasure to extend a warm welcome to each of the attendees,sponsors, exhibitors and presenters who have traveled to Western NorthDakota to attend this year’s Williston Basin Petroleum Conference.

Thanks to your hard work, investment and technological innovations, wehave witnessed tremendous growth in the Bakken region of our state overthe course of the past decade, resulting in North Dakota becoming thesecond largest oil and gas producing state in the nation.

North Dakota truly stands as a national leader. This spring I traveled toNorway as part of a Senate delegation working to help build a long-termenergy plan that will reduce Ukraine’s and the region’s dependence onRussian natural gas. This is also an enormous opportunity for the U.S. andNorth Dakota. The U.S. currently produces 30 trillion cubic feet of naturalgas annually while consuming only 26 trillion cubic feet. In North Dakotaalone, we flare about $1.5 million worth of natural gas daily, which meanswe need markets for that gas. We can capture that gas to use here in the

U.S. and also to export to our allies, which will boost our economy, createjobs for our people and reduce flaring.

To this end, I have been working on a number of legislative initiatives,including the recently introduced Energy Security Act, which would approvethe Keystone XL project and expedite permits to export LNG to our allies.The bill would create 100,000 jobs, boost the U.S. economy, reduce flaringand aid our allies. I have also introduced the Empower States Act to helpensure that states retain the right to manage oil and gas production whilealso giving them the ability to develop hydraulic fracturing rules andrespond first to any potential violations.

These are just a few examples of how we are working to strengthen ourenergy security here at home while also helping our allies abroad. The workyou are doing in North Dakota serves as a fine example of how we canachieve these objectives. Thank you for your outstanding work. Best wishes,also, for an enjoyable and dynamic conference.

N.D. energy policy ismodel for the nation

On behalf of all the hard working folks in the petroleum industry acrossNorth Dakota and this country, I’m happy to welcome you to the 2014Williston Basin Petroleum Conference. Thank you to the North DakotaPetroleum Council, North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources and theSaskatchewan Ministry of the Economy for hosting this importantconference in Bismarck.

Energy production in the Bakken is at an all-time high, gaining nationalattention not only for the resources we are tapping but also for thenumerous, well-paying jobs that are created every day. This is great newsnot only for North Dakota but for the entire country, as we continue to movetoward North American energy security and independence.

There’s no doubt in my mind that North Dakota’s energy policy —supporting the responsible development of diverse energy resources,including oil, coal, wind, biofuels and natural gas — is a model that shouldbe replicated on the national level. I won’t stop pushing for a true all-of-the-above approach to energy production in this country because I’ve seenfirsthand in North Dakota just how effective and successful it can be.

The work you do each day to support the petroleum industry is critical toachieving this goal. And I see your work and hear your message as I travelthroughout North Dakota and bring back what I learn to Washington, D.C.

Right now, the current Administration’s slow-walk approach to energy issues

continues to frustrate and does not reflect its all-of-the-above rhetoric. It’slong past time President Obama ends this well over five year long processand approves the Keystone XL pipeline. It’s critical to our energy securityand independence and will help grow our economy and create jobs. That’swhy I led an effort urging the President to implement an explicit timeline forhis Administration to decide on the Keystone XL pipeline permit andsupport efforts to put approval in the hands of Congress. I am also pressingfor expedited review of liquefied natural gas export applications, openingnew markets for our natural gas around the world. This would help supportfinancial incentives to decrease flaring through investments in capturingand transporting natural gas in the Bakken.

We are at a crossroads when it comes to energy development in thiscountry. We can choose to rely on foreign oil and be dependent upon othercountries to help fuel our homes, businesses and cars. Or we can makecommonsense investments right here in the U.S., starting with the WillistonBasin, and support domestic energy production as part of a responsible all-of-the-above approach. We do it right in North Dakota, and I’ll keep workingto make sure the North Dakota model drives the energy debate becauseNorth American energy security and independence don’t just benefit thecountry today — they will have a lasting impact on future generations. I’mglad you are able to take part in this year’s Williston Basin PetroleumConference and I hope you have a great time.

We are “Bakken strong”

Welcome WBPC Attendees:

On behalf of the North Dakota oil and gas industry and the PetroleumCouncil members, I want to welcome you to Bismarck for the 2014Williston Basin Petroleum Conference.

This is the 22nd Williston Basin Petroleum Conference, and it is the biggestand best yet. Our goal is to provide you with an outstanding line-up ofpresenters and to provide a great venue for local, regional, national andinternational industry leaders to gather and exchange new ideas andtechnology. I want to thank our co-hosts, the North Dakota Department ofMineral Resources and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources,for their help in making the conference a success. This conference wouldnot be possible without the terrific sponsorship. Please join me in thankingthe sponsors.

The Williston Basin continues to enjoy worldwide attention, having asignificant impact in the United States and Canada. As our theme says, weare “Bakken Strong” — with strong economies, technology and businessand job opportunities driving our states, provinces and nations forward intoan energy renaissance and new era of North American energy security. Asthe infrastructure is built and the exploration turns into field development,industry will become more efficient and the communities will grow andprosper. We will see a more diverse population and more careeropportunities for our sons and daughters of this region who want to returnhome and raise their families.

The North Dakota Petroleum Council is a trade association for the oil andgas industry that represents 500 members. The association was formedshortly after the discovery of oil in 1951 and has been here to serve andrepresent the industry ever since. We thank our members for their supportand urge you to support your industry and consider becoming a member ofour organization.

Revenues from the 2014 Williston Basin Petroleum Conference have beendesignated by the Petroleum Council Board of Directors for the following:

• Contributions to the geological exhibits at the North Dakota HeritageCenter

• Funding for the Oil Can! Bakken education and outreach program

• Support for the Al Golden Memorial Scholarship Fund

• Contributions to the Oil Can! Bakken Community Fund

Thank you for joining us for the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference. Wehope you enjoy the conference and we value your feedback in making thisconference even better in 2016.

N.D. leading the nation inenergy development

Welcome to the 2014 Williston Basin Petroleum Conference!

I often say North Dakota has gone from what Velva-born CBS journalist EricSevareid called the “rectangular blank spot on the nation’s conscience” tothe rectangular stage underneath the nation’s spotlight.

And because of what you do, the spotlight just keeps getting brighter.

When my colleagues have coffee and check the morning Wall Street Journalheadlines, it is your story they are reading. Not a day goes by when yourwork, and North Dakota’s success, isn’t brought up in the halls of Congressas an example of what the rest of our country could be.

America’s interest in the Bakken is no mystery. Reducing our Middle East

energy dependence is a major step toward increasing our national securityand strengthening our economy. North Dakota is blessed with the resourcesto lead this charge toward energy security, but you turn the key every day tomake this goal possible.

This is a story I am honored to tell daily in Washington. It is your story. Youare the drivers of the American energy renaissance which is makingAmerican energy security not just a possibility, but a reality.

Thank you for your commitment to leading the nation in energydevelopment. I wish you a successful conference.

When it comes toquality, North Dakota’sBakken crude oil rivalsthe benchmark of NorthAmerican crude oil,West TexasIntermediate (WTI). Ingeneral, it is low insulfur and high ingravity, described NorthDakota PetroleumCouncil president RonNess.

Those sweet crudequalities make it adesirable product foruse in many refineries.

The world supply-demand balance hasmade North Dakotasweet crude attractiveversus foreignalternatives even aftercovering distributioncosts. It’s alsoattractive compared toAlaska North Slope

(ANS) crude oil, whoseproduction has beendeclining in recentyears. However, eventhough infrastructure tomove Bakken crude outof North Dakota isincreasing andimproving, moving it torefineries remains anissue.

As desirable as Bakkencrude is for its quality— and in some ways,its lower cost — not allrefineries are geared upto use Bakken crude.For those that are, theycould potentiallymaximize their abilityto produce high-endproducts with a greaterpercentage of qualityfuels such as jet fuel.

“Every refinery has itsown cookie recipe,”explained Ness.

Refining petroleumproducts is not acookie cutter processand not all refineriesare created equal, headded. Each refinery isconfigured to refinecertain petroleumproducts based onseveral factors,especially marketdemand and the type ofcrude used. Forexample, Mandan’sTesoro Refinery isconfigured to produceBakken crude. Itdoesn’t use crude oilfrom Bowman County,Ness explained,because that varies incomposition, such ashigher sulfur content.

the United States usedsweet crude. However,they converted toheavier Canadian sourcrude early in the newdecade, adjusting tomarkets and pricing.Refineries producedheavier end petroleumproducts and lessgasoline and diesel, headded. At the time, theBakken Boom wasnowhere on thehorizon.

Then along comes theBakken, Nesscontinued, and inapproximately 2009and 2010, Louisianarefineries beganlooking into Bakken

crude and reconfiguringtheir refineries. Once agreater quantity wasable to get toOklahoma, the movefor Bakken crude wason. Following that, in2011 and 2012 Westand East Coastrefineries startedrecognizing thepotential for Bakkencrude.

In 2012, Delta Airlinesbought a Trainer, Pa.refinery nearPhiladelphia with thegoal producing theirown supply of jet fuelrather than relying onoutside producers andthe volatile foreign

market, which was theirprimary source of fuel.In the case of therefinery Deltapurchased, itssubsidiary MonroeEnergy LLC, which isrunning the refinery,modified itsconfiguration toproduce more jet fuel.

One of the main keys tothe project’s successwas getting Bakkencrude to Pennsylvania.The first shipment ofBakken crude arrivedvia rail to Trainer, Pa. inFebruary 2013.

Another Philadelphia-area company,

Philadelphia EnergySolutions, also madechanges to its refineryand added a high-speedrail facility so it, too,could accept Bakkencrude oil.

“It’s all about markets,”explained Ness. Yet atthe same time,refineries must beconfigured to useBakken crude.However, there is someflexibility inconfiguration andrefineries can shiftproduction to adjust tomarkets to someextent. It doesn’t matter if it’sheavy Canadian crude,

MIKE McCLEARY/TribuneThe Mandan, N.D., Tesoro Refinery has expanded its capacity by10,000 barrels of gas, producing 68,000 barrels per day.

Associated PressThe ConocoPhillips refinery in Trainer, Pa., is seen on April 19, 2012. Delta Air Lines Inc. announced in April 2012 that it would buy therefinery as part of an unprecedented deal that it hopes will cut its jet fuel bill. Delta bought the Trainer, Pa. refinery from Phillips 66, a refiningcompany being spun off from ConocoPhillips. Delta said a subsidiary would pay $150 million, including $30 million in job-creationassistance it is getting from the state of Pennsylvania.

imported crude orsweet crude — they canall produce certainpercentages of diesel,gasoline, jet fuel orother petroleumproducts. The refinerydesign and its ability toshift production willdetermine how much ofeach it produces at anygiven time.

However, it’s themolecular makeup ofthe crude oil itself thatdetermines what canproduce the highestpercentage of high-endpetroleum products,such as commercial ormilitary jet fuel. Andthat’s what makesBakken crude oil sucha good fit for DeltaAirlines to make thecalculated move topurchase a refinery — abarrel of Bakken crude,when configured tomaximize its potential,can produce a higherpercentage ofcommercial jet fuelthan heavier crude oil.

The key is a refinery’scapabilities, Nessdescribed. “It (refinery)has to be designed fora (particular) product.Those refineries andproduct have tomatch.” Regardless ofhow a refinery isconfigured, a barrel ofoil will only produce asmuch jet fuel, gasoline,diesel or whatever theproduct is as whatavailable in its chemicalmakeup. Every refineryis different in somemanner.

While markets driveproduction, gettingBakken crude oil fromwell to refinery remainsan integral part of theoverall process.

Another example oftrying to solve thelogistics of gettingBakken crude from wellto refinery involves theTesoro Corporation,which is proposing anenergy distributionterminal at the Port ofVancouver, Wash.

The goal, according toTesoro’s website, is toget crude oil — Bakkencrude and elsewhere inthe U.S. — off railcarsand loaded ontomarine vessels where itwould then be bargedto West Coastrefineries. Tesoro’sAnacortes, Wash.refinery currently has acapacity to refine 120MBD or 120,000barrels per day. ItsMartinez, Cal. refineryhas even larger capacity— 166 MBD — and itsLos Angeles refinery’scapacity is 363 MBD.

Due to increasingdomestic production inareas such as theBakken and the adventof moving largevolumes of crude oil byrail, Tesoro estimates itcould replace about 20percent of the crude oilcurrently imported fromforeign countries foruse in West Coastmarkets.

“Most importantly,that’s how you displaceforeign crude ... bygetting (U.S.) crude tothe coastal refineries,”Ness explained.

Phillips 66 is alsoworking on similarstrategies. When it canpurchase lower pricedcrude oil from regionssuch as the Bakken, itcan save a hugeexpense in operatingcosts. The company’swebsite, said a savingsof $1 per barrelthroughout theirrefining system is worthabout $450 million ofnet income. It ismaking the savings bypurchasing what iscalled “advantaged”crude oil, discountedcrude oil such as thatfrom the Bakken.

Currently, all of thecapacity of Tesoro’sMandan refinery — 71MBD — and its SaltLake City, Utah, refinery— 58 MDB — are metusing “advantaged” oil.If its proposedWashington Stateloading terminal isbuilt, Tesoro projectsthat up to one-half ofits Los Angelesrefinery’s capacitycould be met with acombination ofCalifornia heavy andBakken crude oil; 67percent at its Martinez,Cal. refinery.

The potential evenexists for Bakken crudeto make its way toTesoro’s Kenai, Alaskarefinery, where theamount of crude oilproduced on the AlaskaNorth Slope continuesto decline.

As with Tesoro and thePhiladelphia refineries,Phillips 66’s challengeis getting theadvantaged crude to itsrefineries that areconfigured to processit. As a result, Phillips66, like Tesoro andothers, is investing inpipelines, rail, andwhatever other feasibleresources exist to movecrude oil to itsrefineries.

In the bygone days,historically oilproducers justproduced oil — dieseland gasoline — Nessdescribed. Nowadays,the product isextremely specific.Gasoline blends varyfrom one region of thecountry to the other;they vary from summerto winter, for example,while jet fuel involvesits own exactspecifications.

While all refineriesproduce a variety ofpetroleum products,the trick nowadays ismaximizing the globalmarket’s current needsand demands with arefinery’s particularcapabilities and in amanner that is as cost-effective andproductive as possible.■

Due to increasing domestic production in areas such as the Bakken andthe advent of moving large volumes of crude oil by rail, Tesoro

estimates it could replace about 20 percent of the crude oil currentlyimported from foreign countries for use in West Coast markets.


Companies touting newrecovery techniquestend to surface nearlyas often as the barrelsof sweet crudethemselves, causingoperators to continuallyweigh the pros and

cons of any new idea.

A new ceramicproppant is beingtested with uniquepotential, specificallybecause of its shape.Traditional ceramic

proppant is spherical,but recent research hasspurred development ofa rod-shaped proppant.But not all rod-shapedproppant is createdequal.

Creating an “antfarm” of proppantOne of the twoinventors of thedistinctively-shapedproppant is focused notjust on shape, but onthe method of the

proppant’s flow.SchlumbergerTechnology Corporationin Sugar Land, Texas,developed the rod-shaped proppant tocoincide with a“channelant,”

FROMSPHERESTO RODS

By Maxine Herr for the TribuneImage courtesy of Imerys Oilfield SolutionsImerys Oilfield Solutions hopes to find a U.S. market for its rod-shaped proppant that offers anenvironmental-friendly option with greater productivity.

How a new proppantshape may offer a pathto greater production

dissolvable fibers thatinitially act as a fillermaterial duringplacement of theproppant, and laterdissolve, creatingchannels for the oil andgas to flow.

The process causes theproppant to formclusters, or islands, inthe fracture which actas pillars to prop openthe fracture.

“The contention is thatsomehow theconductivity is better,and the channels madeby the fibers wouldhold up better,” saysAlexander Robart,engineer with PacWestConsulting Partners, amarket intelligencecompany that publishescomprehensiveanalyses of the supplyand demand ofproppants.Robart says theproppant processcreates an “ant farm”look within the fracture,and the fibers keep theproppant in place toavoid flowback issues.

Ceramic still trailsother proppant insales, but it’s on theriseA PacWest analysis ofproppant shows thatceramic consumptionhas grown by morethan 40 percent since2011. The companyforecasts that the EagleFord, Appalachia,Bakken and Permianwill account for 75percent of all proppantconsumption in 2015.Though sand and resin-coated sand lead theproppant market, thedemand for ceramicproppant expects tojump 12 percent bynext year, according tothe analysis.

So will the new,ceramic rod-shapedproppant find a place inthe market?

PacWest reports only afew operators haveattemptedSchlumberger’s rod-shaped proppant inNorth Dakota, but whenBakken Breakoutcontacted theoperators, two deniedusing it and one wasnot willing to comment.

However, PacWestspokesman SamirNangia says that initialtesting in the field isnot promising. Althoughthe product seems toscore well in preventingflowback, conductivityresults have notmatched projections.

“What we believe intheory is everything we

see on the surface, butall of this is happening4,000 to 8,000 feetdown, and a lot of timethe simulations that arerun are not able toaddress those issues,”says Nangia. “There areclosure pressures,varied temperatures,different kinds of rock,and other issues. Sothese fracs have not

delivered on theirpromise. They claim touse less proppant andless water than otherfrac designs. So if theywere extremelysuccessful, everyonewould have migrated tothese.”

But Robart thinks itsimply takes time to gettechnology working.

“Operators arereluctant to do newthings, so it’s not testedas much as it shouldbe,” Robart said. “Butit’s also veryexpensive.”

A second inventionperhaps morepromisingAnother rod-shapedproppant invention may

show greater potential.It hasn’t quite made anappearance in theUnited States yet, butthe company regularlygets return clients onthe other side of theglobe.

Imerys OilfieldSolutions, a U.S.division of French-based Imerys S.A,

invented a rod-shapedproppant that claims ithas the ability to keepboth operators andenvironmentalistshappy because itcontains no chemicals,and in turn does notrequire a specifictemperature to beeffective.

proppant must reach acertain temperature inorder to activate theresin. Furthermore, thechemical compoundhas environmentalistsconcerned.

“In the North Sea, therecurrently is a movetoward banning resin-coated proppants dueto environmentalissues. If this happens,there would be a gap intechnology sinceflowback control is amajor concern,” saysDavid Guetta,marketing manager forImerys OilfieldSolutions. “The resin-coated proppantsrequire the righttemperature for all theproppants to sticktogether and stay in thefracture. Our proppantdoesn’t have thatrequirement. So there’sno temperatureactivation issue, nochemical environmentalissue, and we don’thave a reduction inconductivity. In fact,the conductivity is

largely increased whencompared to resin-coated sphericalproppants.”

The Imerys proppant iscurrently applied inhydraulic fracturing inthe Middle East andRussia and Guetta saysthe company is workingon introducing it in theU.S.

“We’re looking for aplace in the U.S. wherethe conductivityrequirement is high andthere is a flowbackissue not solved with aresin product,” Guettasaid.

Proppants that canhandle the pressureUnlike sphericalceramic proppants, therods better resistcrushing underpressure, and insteadbreak off into smallerrods.

“They exhibit thesurprising property ofbeing able to break intogenerally uniform-sizedsmaller rods whenbreakage does occur,”states Imerys patentdocuments.“Particularly, unlike asphere, which has asingle load bearingpoint at which theclosing pressureconverges, oftenleading to crushing, arod has a muchbroader area of contactin a multi-layered packunder pressure,allowing it to distributethe pressure moreevenly and therebyreducing crushing andembedment atcomparable closingpressures.”

Since the smaller rodsdo not behave likecrushed proppant thatcan block the flow of

fluids, the companysays there is little to noreduction inconductivity ordestruction ofneighboring proppants.Tests also concludethat the smaller rodpieces still exhibit thesame properties as thelarger rod, able to carrythe load and resistembedment. Any rodsthat do crush into fineparticles seem to beless destructive to theentire proppant packthan its sphericalcounterpart,maintainingpermeability andconductivity.Worth its price tag, butcan combine proppantsto save costs

Guetta says theincreased flowbackresistance with rod-shaped proppant alsoreduces abrasive wearon well equipment,reduces cost of clean-up, and ensures moreof the proppant stays inthe fracture, offering abetter return on

investment. He admits the proppanthas to maintain thatkind of success tojustify the cost.

“Clients that use it,despite the price, wantto keep using it. It givesus a good indicationthat it is over-performing,” Guettasaid.

One option to cut thecost is to use it inconjunction withanother type ofproppant.

“You can use it whereyou need it,” Guettasaid. “At the tip of thefracture, you don’t haveflowback issues andconductivity is not ascritical. When you getcloser to the wellbore... that’s where youneed conductivity andflowback control. Soyou don’t necessarilyneed to pump the rod-shaped proppantthrough the entire job.You can pump withtraditional sphericalproppant in the firstseveral stages and tail-in with the rod-shapedproppants for increasedconductivity andflowback control.”

Lab tests show the rodsactually flow betterthan spherical ceramicbeads down thewellbore, and Guettasays they appear towork more effectivelyonce the fracturecloses, so “if a well haspotential, it willdefinitely produce.”

“So for the sameamount of product,”Guetta said, “the rod-shaped proppant willproduce more oil andgas than regularspheres.” ■

“What we believe in theory iseverything we see on thesurface, but all of this is

happening 4,000 to 8,000 feetdown, and a lot of time the

simulations that are run are notable to address those issues.”

The advances inhydraulic fracturinghave catapulted oilproduction in theWilliston Basin. Usingpressurized fluid,producers breakthrough the denseshale formation andcreate pathwaysthrough rock. Sincemost wells run one totwo miles deep and thesame distancehorizontally, theprocess requires quite abit of water. The fluidused for hydraulicfracturing can containup to 99 percent water.The EnvironmentalProtection Agencyestimates thatfracturing a typical wellin a shale formationrequires between twoand five million gallons

of water.

The ability to acquire,transport and disposeof water for thefracturing process is soimportant to theindustry that someoperators have puttogether teams thatfocus specifically onwater. They depend ona cost-effective optionto deal with themassive quantity ofwater required to drilland fracture wells.

At the end stage,between 15 and 85percent of the waterfrom hydraulicfracturing flows backup to the surface of thewell, according to theEPA. Due to the highlevel of contaminants in

flowback water from oilwells, operators have todeal with the water insome manner. Someare considering onsitetreatment and disposaloptions to cut down oncosts and reduce theirneed for water.

The water challengeOperators in theWilliston have used avariety of methods todeal with thewastewater fromhydraulic fracturing.The end stage for fracwater involves reuse,disposal or treatment.The brine fromhydraulic fracturing isextremely high in saltcontent and otherchemicals, so it can’tbe released into bodiesof water. The water is

also too difficult forlocal treatment facilitiesto process. In the past,wastewater would sit inlarge evaporationponds. Now, manycompanies in theWilliston Basin injectthe flowback under thewater table.

“They can’t do thatforever,” said TatsuyaNakagawa, vicepresident of marketingfor Castagra.

Castagra specializes insustainable tankcoatings, which can beused to hold water fortreatment and reuse inthe hydraulic fracturingprocess. Since waterstorage capacity iscentral to manywastewater treatment

options, Castagra’sbusiness is influencedby the changes in howcompanies deal withfrac water. As morecompanies incorporateways to reuse water,Castagra will coat moretanks for storing it.

Current waterchallenges are causingproducers to considernew options to dealwith the flowback fromtheir wells. They seesome incentive toreduce labor costs fortrucking water to andfrom the well. Bybecoming moresustainable in thehydraulic fracturingprocess, companiescould save money byreducing the amount ofnew water they need.

Nakagawa has noticedthat wastewatertreatment has reallytaken off in areaswhere state and localregulations have madedisposal expensive. InPennsylvania, forexample, producershave been truckingwater out of state fordisposal, which hasbeen a costly part ofthe process.

“Recycling frac water isgoing to be moreeconomical,” Nakagawasaid. “It just makesmore sense for the bigcompanies.”

and disposal optionsspecific to flowbackfrom hydraulicfracturing. Onecompany, PurestreamTechnologies,specializes in watertreatment solutions forthe oil and gas industry.Headquartered in SaltLake City, they haveapplied theirtechnology in oilfieldsthroughout the country.

Purestream has someexperience in Bakkenregion. In 2011, thecompany started a pilotproject with WhitingPetroleum to test out anonsite wastewatertreatment system, butbefore they were ableto move to thecommercial stage,Whiting moved on toanother site.

Since then, Purestreamhas fielded calls fromWilliston Basinproducers interested inimplementingwastewater treatment intheir business. Theycurrently offer threedifferent options forwastewater treatmentand disposal.

The first is a low-endoption called inducedgas flotation. Thetechnology clarifies thewater by removing theoil and grease from thefluid. The remainingwater could be reusedfor hydraulic fracturing.Onsite wastewatertreatment like IGF mayseem like a new idea inregions like theWilliston Basin, but oilproducers have beenusing this method inoffshore drilling foryears. Water could betreated at the wellheadand be released backinto the ocean,reducing the cost totransport flowback tothe coast for treatmentor disposal. IGF costspennies per barrel to

operate.

Reusing the wateralready available ismore popular in placeslike Texas andOklahoma, where wateris more scarce.

“With the shortage ofwater, they needed tofind a way to stretchtheir water resources,”Ennenga said.

A higher-end alternativedistills the waterthrough a processcalled mechanicalrecompression. Theresulting distilled watervery clean, Ennengasaid. Water recycledthrough mechanicalrecompression hasbeen released into theenvironment inArkansas. Since this isa higher qualitytechnology, it is moreexpensive than IGF.

A third technologyavailable to oil and gasproducers, flashevaporation, removesthe water entirely. Flaregas is used as a fuelsource to evaporate thewater at the wellhead,separating it into steamand concentratedbrine.

Ennenga expects thatcompanies will choosebetween the threesystems availablebased on the specificchallenges they facewhere they operate.They will have to decidewhether it will be moreeconomical to reusethe water they alreadyhave or dispose of it.

“In the Bakken, it’s alittle of both,” Ennengasaid. “Most of thesewells have to be flared.Getting rid of flare gaswould be an economicbenefit.”

Making in-roadsWastewater treatment

technology has beenslow to gain footing inthe Bakken, but it’smaking some progress.The company isworking on severalpotential projects to rollout in the region by thesecond quarter,Ennenga said.

Since onsite wastewatertreatment isn’t provenyet in Bakken, majorcompanies have beenhesitant to incorporatethe technology intotheir business, Ennengasaid.

“Some of it is thestaunchness of theindustry,” Ennengasaid. “There has to be abuy-in from the topdown.”

Producers have alsofaced roadblocks bylocal and stateregulations because thetechnology is so new.

“The technology hasadvanced faster thanstate regulations,”Ennenga said. “Thestates are starting toget ahead of the curve.”

But with the potentialbenefits to both oil andgas companies, as wellas the localcommunities, thingsare changing. Theability to reuse waterwould reduce the trucktraffic congestion in oil-producing areas. And inplaces where water isscarcer, the potential torelease clean waterwould reduce theenvironmental impactof hydraulic fracturing.

Ennenga and Nakagawaagree that more oilproducers willincorporate wastewatertreatment into theirbusiness once largercompanies find a wayto make it economical.■

They crisscross thestate, every square-milein a quaint north-south,east-west pattern.They’re section linesand they do so muchmore than providehunting access.

In several instances,section lines are theonly way a livestock oragricultural producercan access their land.They allow people toget from Point A toPoint B in the mostefficient manner. True,they don’t always go ina straight-as-an-arrowline depending onterrain. However, theyserve a vital functionand their purpose isone most NorthDakotans, counties andcounty commissionersacross the state takequite seriously.

The right-of-way on asection line stretches66 feet, 33 feet oneither side from thecenter of the sectionline. In many instances— even if the sectionline is a beautifullymaintained or pavedtownship or countyroad — the land thesection line is locatedon is under privateownership. That’s whywhen it comes tohunting, if the landadjacent to the sectionline is closed to huntingit’s also closed tohunting to the middleof the section line.After all, it’s still privateland even though itprovides public access.

Roadway right-of-waysextending beyond 66feet from the center ofa section line arepurchased from thelandowner in instancessuch as state or federalhighways.

However, because itprovides ingress andegress, section lines areunder public controleven though theadjacent landowner —more often than not —retains privateownership of thesection line. It takescounty commissionapproval to close anysection line down topublic access. “It’s notfriendly to us,” DunnCounty commissioner

Daryl Dukart, DunnCenter, described, ifthe commissionreceives a request toclose a section line.

Dunn County isn’talone on their attituderegarding the almostsacred right to accessand traverse sectionlines. “We take veryseriously those kinds ofrequests and always getinput from townships(boards) if the sectionline is in an organizedtownship,” MountrailCounty commissionerDavid Hynek, Ross,added. Rarely, he said,will the county close asection line, especiallyif a township wants tokeep it open.

However, in recentyears both Dunn andMountrail countiesmade exceptions totheir generally adversestance to section lineclosures at the requestof oil companies. In thecase of the DunnCounty section lineclosure, Dukart saidthey made an exceptionand opted to close itbecause, given theterrain, it was the onlyway to feasibly andeconomically accessand site a well pad.

In Mountrail County,Hynek said the NorthDakota Oil and GasDivision and IndustrialCommission permitteda company to drill“exactly dead center onthe section line.” Hyneksaid the county did notgive the necessaryapproval to vacate(close) the section lineprior to any wellactivity. When thecommission learnedabout the drilling afterthe rig was already onlocation, they had itshut down and askedthe company to moveit. Ultimately, he said,the county commissionopted to let thecompany complete thedrilling process to setthe well and voted toofficially close thesection line.

With increased oil andgas activity in MountrailCounty, the countycommission adoptedpolicies addressingprocedures to close

temporary andpermanent section lineroads. The countylacked any formalpolicy for years,adopting the newpolicies in April andJuly 2013. Under thenew policies, applicantsmust send certifiednotices to all adjoininglandowners andtownship boards,informing them of thedate and time of thepublic hearing. It cantake months to geteverything in placeprior to the hearing,described MountrailCounty auditor JoanHollekim.

So far, MountrailCounty hasn’t receivedany temporary roadclosure requests sincethe policy wasimplemented, sheadded. The policiesprovide guidelines tosomeone requesting asection line closure,Hynek said.

McKenzie County,though, is home toabout 30 percent of thestate’s oil and gasdrilling activity,McKenzie Countyauditor Linda Svihovecdescribed. It is alsohome to the state’smost rugged terrain.There, she said thecounty currentlyaverages approximatelyone request eachmonth to close asection line. If thecounty commissionvotes to approve theclosure, Svihovec saidthe county requires therequestor to acquire aneasement to providepublic access.

The interest in sectionlines, right-of-ways,access, and closurescomes down to oil.

Lots of it.

Currently, most typicalwell pad spacing unitsare 1,280 feet, or thelength of two sectionslines (two miles)

The 1,280-foot spacingunit is also the typicallength of a horizontalwell. North Dakotaregulations requirecompanies to stay up to500 feet away from asection on the east-west

route with a 200-footsetback on the north-south route, Oil andGas Division publicinformation specialistAlison Ritter explained.Based on the potentialto recoverapproximately 1 millionbarrels of oil for everytwo miles in theBakken, “if it (oil) wasleft, that would strand 4billion barrels of oil,”she added.

In an effort to betteraccess that potentiallystranded oil, companiesare increasingly askingto double the 1,280-foot spacing to 2,560feet. With today’sdrilling technology,Ritter said there is noneed to place a wellpad on a section lineand 2,560-foot spacinghelps avoid thatpotential situation. TheState of North Dakotadoesn’t want to seewells on section lines,Ritter said. “It’s notreally a precedent we’dlike to set,” she added.“The idea is that thesewells use existingpads.”

The Oil and GasDivision advocatesagainst siting wells onsection lines andstrongly urgedoperators to do all they

can for futureapplications to makesure it is not somethingthat continues, Ritteremphasized.

By combining spacingunits, companies canaccess oil previouslyinaccessible withtraditional 1,280-footspacing units. There isalso less surfacedisturbance and itsaves money becausecompanies can placemultiple wells on onepad. Ritter said thatmeans 2,560-footspacing units could bea win-win for the Stateof North Dakota andindustry alike.

However, both Dukartand Hynek feel largerspacing units won’tsolve all of the issuessurrounding sectionlines and well siting.“It’s still a fine line,”Dukart said, adding thathe recognizes both theadvantages anddisadvantages to largerspacing units. Onedifference that largerspacing units couldcreate, Ritter admitted,might be in howroyalties are shared,depending on mineralrights. However, that wouldapply only to new wells,Ritter explained.

In Dunn County, Dukartsaid most leases arealready tied up underthe 1,280-foot spacingunits.

Dukart feels sectionlines serve another vitalfunction: Consider thepotential, he described,for section lines toserve as corridors forthe myriad of pipelines,power lines, etc. thatare now beingconstructed orconsidered to be built.For example, ifpipelines traveledsection lines ratherthan going across, over,up, and down privateland, it might be easierto obtain easementsfrom privatelandowners, therecould be lessdisturbance andenvironmental impacton private land, andmaintenance wouldcause fewerdisturbances becauseaccess is available onthe section line and notcutting across privateland. Using sectionlines as pipelinecorridors couldultimately serve as yetanother reason to keepsection lines open tothe public, Dukartexplained. ■

Section lines,rights-of-wayand oil By Patricia Stockdill for the Tribune

BNSF Crude-by-Rail moves more than600,000 barrels each day. That’s over 400every minute. So how can we move somuch—and move it safely, reliably andcompetitively? And how did we get to bethe industry leader? Great news! We’vebroken that down for you in six, easy-to-digest paragraphs. It might take you aboutfive minutes to read. Us? We’ll be movingcrude the whole time. A lot of it.

From Extremely Safeto Extremely Safer.

At BNSF, safety is a fundamental part ofour culture and is central to our business.Our focus is (and always has been) onprevention. A case in point: we go aboveand beyond to ensure our employees—and the communities in which theyoperate—are safe. Key routestypically are inspected fourtimes per week. Ourbusiest main lines?They are inspectedevery single day. Itmeans that even asour volume of hazmatdeliveries has risen,release incidents havedeclined. Industry-wide,99.997% of rail hazmatshipments reach their destinationwithout a release caused by a trainaccident. For BNSF, though, almostperfect isn’t perfect enough. So eventhough TRANSCAER™ (TransportationCommunity Awareness and EmergencyResponse) has awarded us the NationalAchievement Award—10 years in a row—for preparing communities to respond tohazardous materials emergencies, we’redoing everything we can to make ourservice—and the industry—even safer.

Because Choices Are:a. Good; b. Good; or c. Good.

You’re exactly right. Having a choicemakes more than sense; it makes money.And BNSF’s rail capacity can handle

crude oil in the lanes that provide optimalreturns. In other words, you can choosedestinations for each shipment in orderto capitalize on changes in themarket. And those destinationsare myriad. From Bakersfield,California to Philadelphia,Pennsylvania.Wherever thedemand takes your crude.Plus, by the end of 2014, we’lloffer service from shale playsthroughout North Americato more than 50 destinationsserving inland and coastalrefineries and ports—andthrough coordination with othercarriers, you’ll have access to the majorEast Coast refineries. Other modes oftransporting crude don’t offer those kindsof choices. And, as previously mentioned,choices are good.

ReasonThree Is Actually42 Billion Reasons.

BNSF has been a leader in the rail industryfor more than a century—and that legacyhas provided a solid foundation for ourcrude-by-rail segment. But you knowwhat else has provided a solid foundationfor our crude-by-rail? Dollars. Yes, weinvest more in our own network than anyother provider. A lot more. In fact, we’veinvested $42 billion in capital investments

since 2000. That sum has made ournetwork as reliable, durable

and flexible as possible. Notonly that, but upstream andmidstream companies arealso making significantinvestments in rail—ensuringthat BNSF will always bean important piece of the

U.S. energy transportationchain. It’s a relationship founded

on trust. A relationship that wetake very seriously. It’s why we’ve

assembled an integrated and responsiveteam of crude-by-rail specialists focusedon ensuring reliability and providingexemplary customer service. For thoseteam members, the laundry list of buzzwords isn’t trite or hollow; it’s simply anaccurate description of what they do.The adjectives just happen to fit.

StillWith Us?That’s Dedication.AndWe Know Dedication.

When we talk about dedication,what we’re really talking about iscommitment. And you cannot discussdedication or commitment withoutonce again mentioning money.Why?

Transportation of crudeand natural gas remainsan important issue forproducers in theBakken. Two energycompanies are makingprogress on projectsthat will increase thestate’s pipelinecapacity.

Enbridge EnergyPartners is workingthrough the regulatorypermitting process onan oil transmission linethat expands theircurrent system and mayreceive a siting permitfrom the North DakotaPublic ServiceCommission as early asMay. WBI EnergyTransmissionannounced an openseason for a projectthat would increasecapacity for gatheringand transportingnatural gas produced inthe Bakken.

continues to Superior,Wis.

Sandpiper wouldtransport 225,000barrels of oil toClearbrook through apipeline 24 inches indiameter and 375,000barrels to Superior by alarger, 30-inch line.

Sandpiper is slated tocome on line at a timethat Bakken productionwill eclipse the plateauof one million barrelsof oil per day. TheNorth Dakota PipelineAuthority estimates that72 percent of oilproduced in NorthDakota was transportedout of state by rail inJanuary, while 21percent wastransported by pipeline.

Bob Steede, Enbridge’sdirector of the NorthDakota region, said thepipeline will give oilproducers more optionsto transport out of theBakken.

“We’re giving Bakkenshippers dedicated

space to Superior,Wis.,” Steede said.“They don’t need to befighting with Canadianoil for space.”

Oil that currentlyreaches Clearbrook hasto compete with oilcoming in from Canadato make it to facilitiesin Superior. TheSandpiper Pipeline willonly serve producers inthe Bakken, so they canship more efficiently tonew markets. The routeconnects North Dakotaoil with refineries ineastern Canada, theGulf Coast and theMidwest, which gives oilproducers more optionsto the get the bestprice.

Steede said these newoptions will maketransportation bypipeline morecompetitive with railtransportation.

“It will increase theirnet-back,” he said.

At this time, Enbridge iswaiting for approvalfrom the Public ServiceCommission in NorthDakota, as well assimilar regulatorybodies in Minnesotaand Wisconsin. Thecompany also made afiling with the FederalEnergy RegulatoryCommission.

Commissioner JulieFedorchak from NorthDakota said thecompany submitted theapplication for theSandpiper project inJanuary. From there,the staff at the PublicService Commissionensured that all of thedocuments needed for

the application wereincluded.

The Public ServiceCommission issuessiting permits fortransmission projectslike a new pipeline. Thecommissioners ensurethat such undertakingshave a limited impacton the environmentaround them.

“We ensure theseprojects are done in away that has minimumadverse effects,”Fedorchak said.

Companies that applyto the PSC for a sitingpermit have tocompleteenvironmental andcultural studies on theareas that would beimpacted by theirconstruction. Theyconsider the impact, ifany, on endangeredspecies in the area.They have to avoidlocations such asschools and state ornational parks. Theroute also has to beclear of places with

cultural importance,such as AmericanIndian burial groundsor historic buildings.Since the North Dakotaportion of theSandpiper pipelinestretches across threehundred miles,Enbridge’s application,includingenvironmental andcultural studies, filledtwo binders. The wholedocument was sixinches thick, Fedorchaksaid.

The commissionscheduled publichearings incommunities impactedby the potentialpipeline, which wereheld in Grand Forks,Devils Lake and Minotin late February.

Enbridge presented itscase for the project ateach hearing, and thenthe commission heardinput from the public,whether that beopposition, support orsuggestions regardingthe project. Fedorchaksaid she expected alarge turnout for thisseries of hearings sinceso many people willpotentially be affectedby the project. TheGrand Forks hearinglasted all day with fourto five hours just forpublic comments,Fedorchak said.

After the publichearings, the PSCworked through thepublic comments andrequested late-filedexhibits from Enbridgethat address thepublic’s concerns.

“My goal is making surethat all the public

comments are takeninto consideration,”Fedorchak said.

At the time of theinterview, Enbridge stillhad four late-filedexhibits to turn into thecommission, andFedorchak expected toreceive them by theend of March. One ofthe issues Enbridge hadto address was aportion of the routethat would potentiallygo through a researcharea being used by theUniversity of NorthDakota. Concerns wereraised about theenvironmental impactthe pipeline projectwould have on thatarea.

Once all of the late-filed exhibits arecollected, thecommission will reviewall of the new material.Fedorchak expects thecommission to bringthe application to avote in early to mid-May.

Steede said Enbridge isactively acquiring right-of-way along theproposed route and hasreceived 89 percent sofar in North Dakota.Most of the line willfollow the right-of-wayestablished byEnbridge’s existingpipeline.

Enbridge is finalizingthe details for facilitieson the Sandpiperpipeline. Design shouldbe available in themiddle of this year.Construction wouldbegin in late 2014 orearly 2015. The projectwill begin at existinglocations, but will alsoinclude a new pumpstation at Lakota, N.D.

Dakota PipelineWBI Energy, asubsidiary company ofthe Montana DakotaUtilities Resources

Group, initiated anopen season for a 375-mile natural gastransmission line calledthe Dakota Pipeline inJanuary. The proposedroute would start innorthwestern NorthDakota and stretchacross the state to intonorthwesternMinnesota.

The Dakota Pipeline willconnect with two otherlines in Minnesota, theGreat Lakes GasTransmission andViking GasTransmission, whichwill connect near theEmerson natural gastrading hub.

The project isestimated to costbetween $600 millionand $650 million.

Tim Rasmussen, aspokesperson for WBIEnergy, said the projectis timely consideringthe rise in natural gasproduction in North

Dakota.

“There is a very steepforecasted increase innatural gas productioncoming out of theBakken and thepipelines offering take-away capacity out ofthe area are running athigh load factors,”Rasmussen said in anemail. “Our proposedpipeline will increasenatural gas pipelinecapacity out of theregion and provideadditionaltransportationopportunities for newproduction as it comeson line, as well as morecapacity for natural gascaptured throughindustry’s efforts toreduce the flaring ofthis valuable resource.”

According to a March2014 report from theNorth Dakota PipelineAuthority, 18 percent ofNorth Dakota naturalgas was flared inJanuary due to a lackof available pipelines.The Dakota Pipelinewould increase capacityfor transportation by400 million cubic feetper day, with the abilityto expand to 500million cf/d, dependingon user commitments.

“Through theseinterconnections gascan more directlyaccess large markets inthe mid-continentregion of the U.S.,”Rasmussen said.

Currently, the companyis gathering contractualcapacity commitmentsfrom potential shippersin its open season,which started on Jan.30 and runs until May30. WBI Energy willfinalize designs anddetermine feasibility forthe project based onthe feedback receivedfrom this process.

“We have been

encouraged by theinterest themarketplace has shownin this project to date,”Rasmussen said.

After the open seasoncloses, Rasmussen saidthe company expects tospend up to two yearson regulatorypermitting andenvironmental analysis.

WBI Energy will godirectly through theFederal EnergyRegulatoryCommission, and notthe state PSC, for thepermitting process,Fedorchak said.

Construction couldbegin in 2016 with acompletion date in late2017. Construction ofall facilities would takethe company about 12months to complete,and laying the pipelineitself would takeapproximately four tosix months, Rasmussensaid. ■

NEW YORK (AP) —Whether to allow moreexports of U.S. oil andnatural gas hasbecome a matter ofpolitical debate inWashington. But toeconomists, the answeris clear: The nationwould benefit.

The vast majority ofeconomists surveyedthis month by TheAssociated Press saylifting restrictions onexports of oil andnatural gas would helpthe economy even if itmeant higher fuelprices for consumers.

More exports wouldencourage investmentin oil and gasproduction andtransport, create jobs,make oil and gassupplies more stableand reduce the U.S.trade deficit, they say.As domestic energyproduction hasboomed, drillingcompanies havepushed to be allowedto sell crude oil andnatural gas overseas,where they cancommand higherprices. Such exportsare restricted bydecades-old energysecurity regulations.

Those opposed toopening trade sayexports could make itmore expensive forAmericans to heat theirhomes and fill up theircars.

But even economistswho think exportsmight increase fuelprices for U.S.consumers — an openquestion — say theoverall benefit to theeconomy wouldoutweigh any possibleharm. It would bebetter to allow theexports and use taxbreaks or othermethods to help thosestruggling with higherprices, they say.

“The economy ingeneral is better off ifwe can sell somethingto someone and bringmoney into theeconomy,” said JerryWebman, chiefeconomist atOppenheimer Funds.“I’d rather deal withany side effects directlythan limit our ability todo business with theworld.”

The AP survey collectedthe views of private,corporate andacademic economists

on a range of issues. Ofthe 30 economists whoparticipated, nearly 90percent responded thatmore exports of oil andgas would help the U.S.economy.

Oil and gas exportrestrictions went largelyunchallenged fordecades becauseconsumption in theU.S. — by far theworld’s biggestconsumer of oil andgas — was rising whileproduction was falling.Imports wereincreasing, and fewthought the U.S. wouldever be in a position toexport oil or gas.

But new techniqueshave allowed drillers totap oil and gas informations oncethought out of reach,and U.S. productionhas soared.

The U.S. still consumesfar more crude oil thanit produces. But oilcompanies areproducing a light sweetcrude that foreignrefineries covet andthat many U.S.refineries are notequipped to handle.The companies andsome politicians have

Fracking understoodby few Americans,researchers find in survey CASPER, Wyo. (AP) —Fracking is a buzzword, but fewAmericans know what itactually means. That isthe conclusion of arecent survey publishedby researchers atOregon State, GeorgeMason and Yaleuniversities.

More than half of thestudy’s 1,061respondents reportedknowing little ornothing of fracking.And almost 60 percentof those surveyed saidthey had no opinion onthe subject.

Those findings runcounter to the oftencontentious debatesseen in Washington andstate capitals aroundthe country, wherepolicymakers areweighing the benefits ofincreased oil andnatural gas productionagainst potentialenvironmentaldamages.

“The fact that half ofthe people we surveyedknow little if anythingabout fracking suggeststhat there may be anopportunity to educatethe American citizenryin a non-partisan wayabout this important

issue,” said HilaryBoudet, a public policyexpert at Oregon Stateand the study’s leadauthor. “The question iswho will lead thatdiscussion?”

U.S. shale formationscontaining vastquantities of previouslyinaccessible oil and gashave been opened inrecent years thanks tonew productiontechniques likehorizontal drilling andhydraulic fracturing, asfracking is officiallyknown. To frac a rockformation is to inject amixture of water, sandand chemicals into theground at highpressure, causing it tofracture and release theoil and natural gaswithin.

Fracking is a crucialtool for opening oil andgas reserves inWyoming. The federalgovernment commonlyholds that fracking isused to create 90percent of oil and gaswells drilled on publiclands, which make upnearly half of Wyoming.

About 20 percent ofrespondents said theywere opposed tofracking. Women were

more likely to opposefracking, as were thosemore familiar with theprocess. Opponentswere apt to associatefracking withenvironmentaldegradation, holdegalitarian world viewsand get their news fromnewspapers.

Around 22 percent ofthose surveyed saidthey supportedfracking. They tendedto be older, bettereducated and politicallyconservative. Theirprimary news sourcewas television, thesurvey found.

“In some areas of thecountry, including NewYork and Pennsylvania,people are morefamiliar with the issuebut opinions are stilldivided as they try tobalance the economicand energy benefitsagainst environmentaland communityimpacts,” Boudet said.

U.S. economistsback increasingoil, gas exports

called for lifting oilexport restrictions.Proponents concede,though, that that’sunlikely in an electionyear.

Seven terminals havereceived EnergyDepartment approval toexport natural gas andare at various stages ofplanning, permitting,finance andconstruction of thefacilities needed tocool the gas into aliquid for transport.Thirty additionalfacilities are awaitingapproval.

Low natural gas pricesin the U.S. have helpedreduce heating andelectricity prices forresidents and givenU.S. manufacturers acost advantage overtheir competitors inEurope and Asia.That’s one reasonRobert Johnson,director of economicanalysis at Morningstar,doesn’t embrace the

idea of unfetterednatural gas exports.

“We’ve already got afew industries buildingon the concept thatwe’re going to have along-term energyadvantage here, and I’dhate to interrupt thoseplans,” Johnson said.

He also argues thathigher energy priceswould disproportionallyhurt those with lowerincomes, who spend arelatively large portionof their paychecks onenergy. That leavesthem with less cash forother things, which, inturn, hampersconsumer spending —by far the biggestportion of the U.S.economy.

But it is far from clearthat exports wouldraise fuel prices oreliminate the country’scompetitive advantage.Natural gas is soexpensive to liquefyand ship overseas that

the delivered cost ofU.S. gas will always befar cheaper in the U.S.,where it can travel bypipeline, than it wouldbe in Europe or Asia.

Exports are even lesslikely to affect prices offuels made from oil,such as gasoline anddiesel. U.S. crude oilprices have been about10 percent cheaperthan global oil prices inrecent years. Butconsumers don’t enjoymost of that benefitbecause exports ofgasoline and diesel arenot restricted.

Refiners have beenable to buy cheaper oilin the U.S., which hashelped lower their inputcosts. But they canthen sell their fuelsanywhere in the world,which allows them tofetch global prices,whether they sell tobuyers in Boston orBogota. ■

intensive source ofelectricity, theresearchers said.

“If the argument is thatwe need natural gas tomitigate ourdependency on otherfossil fuels and to lowergreenhouse gasemissions, it doesn’tmake much sense touse a technology thatcould, in fact, increasemethane emissions,”Boudet said. “Methaneis a much more potentgreenhouse gas thancarbon dioxide.”

The survey wasconducted inSeptember 2012 andhas a margin of error of3 percent. ■

Submitted photoA mobile oil rig is shown near Killdeer. Such rigs are called “walking” rigs because of their long mechanical “feet” that allow them to move among well sites.

Highly specializedmobile rigs are literallywalking over the oilpatch’s collection ofaging equipment —tamping down salesand profits in a burst ofefficiency that’s makingsome drillers victims oftheir own success.

Large oil field servicescompanies deploy thepricey machines calledwalking rigs to grabcustomers frommidsize drillers thathave to stretch to affordreplacing their drillingarmadas with the new-generation gear.

But the market isgetting tighter fordrillers large and small,as producers embracewalking rigs — so-calledfor the massivemechanical feet that letthem move among wellsites — and othertechnologies that letthem drill more wellsand harvest more oilwhile spending less onoil field services.

Baker Hughes recentlyreported a 9 percentrise in the number ofwells the average U.S.land drilling rigproduced in the fourthquarter, compared withthe same period a yearago.“They’re drillingthemselves out of thejob,” said Tanjila Shafi,an analyst with S&PCapital.

The new rig efficienciesare among thetechnological advancesthat have revolutionizedthe U.S. energy sceneby boosting productionin once-inaccessibleshale and tight rockformations.

Land drillers likeHouston-based NaborsIndustries and Tulsa-based Helmerich &Payne have had toreplace rigs to keep upwith larger rivals thatare supported by highglobal profits and

multibillion-dollarresearch anddevelopment budgets,said Jim Rollyson, aRaymond Jamesanalyst.

Rollyson said some newrigs can cost about $20million — up to 20times the rig price adecade ago.

The new mobile rigshave surpassed theolder units amongactive U.S. land rigs,now numbering morethan 650 against 500conventional rigs,according to Helmerich& Payne. Severaladvances, including

automation thatreduces the need for rigworkers and drill bitsbuilt for specific shaleplays, have persuadedoil companies todiscard the oldermodels.

It’s paying off: Shale oilproducers have beenable to boost theiroutput on average 600percent for every rigthey use, according tothe Energy InformationAdministration.

That lets them cutdown on oil fieldspending even as theycollect more crude —which isn’t good newsfor drilling contractors.

Combined year-over-year revenue for eightmajor North Americanland drillers was flat at$4.8 billion in the thirdquarter of 2013compared with thesame year-ago period,and their NorthAmerican sales mostlydeclined, Bloomberg

data show.

As the industry shifts tomore complex, moreexpensive horizontaldrilling, major oil andgas producers arewilling to pay more forthe most efficientdrilling rigs andtechnology available,because they save inthe long run bycultivating a cost-effective process, saidAhmed Mousbah,director of marketingand businessdevelopment at BakerHughes.

That efficiency also isheating up competition

among Baker Hughesand the other threelargest servicescompanies, andpushing them to reachfor market share fromamong smaller rivals,especially in NorthAmerica.

The top four in order ofsales — Schlumberger,Halliburton, BakerHughes andWeatherfordInternational —collected an average 2percent increase inNorth Americanrevenue in the thirdquarter of 2013, whiletheir international salesclimbed 12 percent.Those companies alsomade 44 percent morerevenue oninternational rigs thanNorth American rigs,according to datacompiled byBloomberg.

The trickle-down fromthat tough environmentaffects fortunes ofservices companies’

suppliers like Tolteq, adownhole equipmentmaker based in theAustin, Texas suburb ofCedar Creek. Demandfor what thosecompanies make restson the number of rigsproducers use.

Tolteq, which buildstechnology that guidesdrill bits and capturesgeological data in oilwells, saw growth whencompanies begandrilling horizontally inshale.

But that didn’t preventthe slowdown Tolteqsaw as rig countsflattened last year, saidPaul Deere, who startedhis business a decadeago.

Denny Smith, directorof corporatedevelopment forNabors, said the oilfield services markethas softened becausesupply has outweigheddemand for more thana year, and Wall Streetanalysts have missedthe mark several timesin predicting arebounding rig count.

Walking rigs were bornof an even moreprominent driver ofmodern drillingefficiencies —temporary rigfoundations called padsthat allow operators todrill multiple wellsusing one rig.

Pad drilling, adopted byoperators in roughenvironments like theRocky Mountains,spread to the Barnettshale and other playsas natural gas pricesfell and cost-cuttingbecame paramount.

It allows companies toskip the laborious stepsof setting up a rig overa well site and thenhoisting it off, saidPatrick Hladky,president of Colorado-based rig contractorCyclone Drilling.

Oklahoma City-basedContinental Resources,the largest operator inNorth Dakota’s Bakkenshale, said it hasincreased the numberof wells it could drillper pad site from fourto 14.

Today, more than 70percent of shale playrigs use pads, a signthat producers knowthey should cut costs.Oil companies willlikely end up drillinghundreds of thousandsof wells over the life ofa shale play, said PhaniGadde, an analyst withHouston-based WoodMackenzie.

“In the past, you wouldtalk about how manydays it would take tomove a rig,” he said.“Now they talk abouthow many hours ittakes.”

Ultimately, oilcompanies hire thecompanies they trust,Hladky of CycloneDrilling said. “It comesdown to people andplanning,” he said. “Arig is just a tool.”

“There seemed to be asignificant ramp-up inspending coming, butnow we have a moretempered view,” hesaid. Nabors’ U.S.drilling and rig servicesrevenue dropped to$492 million in thethird quarter, down 12percent from the sameperiod a year ago.

“You have to knowwhich direction you’regoing,” said Paul Deere,who in 2003 decided tostart building andselling tools that cansketch out variousmeasurements in an oilwell.When Deere started hisbusiness a decade ago,only a few rigs usedsuch equipment; now,nearly every U.S. rigdoes. The companymade Inc. Magazine’slist of the 500 fastest-

growing U.S. privatecompanies two years ina row.

Schlumberger — thefirst of the four toreport fourth-quarterand full-year earnings— said its overallrevenue grew 7.5percent last year, morethan twice the growthrate in North America.

The government hasrecognized the changein its number-crunching: In October,the U.S. EnergyDepartment beganreleasing a report thatcombines thetraditional rig countwith the number ofwells each rig drills.

A disheartening signEarlier this month,analysts with Cowenand Co. wrote that,based on its annualsurvey of oil and gasproducers, spending onNorth Americanexploration andproduction would growby just 4 percent in2014. It was adisheartening sign foroil field servicecompanies, monthsafter Cowen’s initialprojection of 8 percentgrowth.

And Houston-basedmarket intelligence firmPacWest ConsultingPartners last monthpredicted that thisyear’s fleet of activedrilling rigs will sink 15percent below the levelin 2013, even whilethey bore more than15,800 horizontalwells, the highestnumber ever.

Every business goesthrough cycles, but theconstraints that newdrilling efficiencieshave put on smaller oilfield service companiesare more challengingthan past problemsbecause it’s not clearwhen the pace ofchange will slow. ■

Despite some opposition,many landowners awaitKeystone XL pipeline

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) —If the proposedKeystone XL oil pipelineever gains approval,Ronald Weber willwatch from hisfarmhouse as workerslay the line beneath ahalf-mile of hiscropland in northeastNebraska.

The 69-year-old retiredfarmer wishes thepipeline had missed hisproperty, simply toavoid the difficulty ofgrowing corn andsoybeans around theconstruction work. Butwhat leaves Weberexasperated are therepeated project delays.

“It’s ridiculous that wehaven’t yet built thisthing,” he said. “Itwould have been nice ifthey had gone a mileover and missed me,but these kinds ofthings happen. It has togo through

somewhere.”

Weber has plenty ofcompany in Nebraska, astate that has been animpediment to the1,100-mile-long linealmost since it wasproposed 10 years ago,but where patience withthe struggle seems tobe running thin nowthat the pipelinecompany has reachedfinancial settlementswith three-quarters ofthe landowners on theroute. Secretary ofState John Kerry isexpected to decide inthe coming monthswhether to recommendWhite House approvalof the project.

A group ofenvironmental activistsand farmers has castthe $5.4 billion pipelineas a threat to thenation’s efforts tocurtail global warming,to the state’s

groundwater and toresidents’ propertyrights. The line’s paththrough Nebraska alsoremains in legal limbobecause of an ongoingcourt challenge.

But many propertyowners are now waitingfor the pipeline truckswith a sense apathy andresignation, eroding thegrassroots resistancethat had long bolsteredthe opposition. Thesettlement dealsoffered byTransCanada, theCanadian companybehind the project, canrun well into six figuresand are providingresidents here withtheir first share of theoil-boom money thathad enriched those inthe prime drilling areasin other states.

Earlier this month,pipeline supporterssought to isolateopponents even morewhen they gatheredsignatures from 34Nebraska lawmakers —a bipartisan, two-thirdsmajority — for a letterurging federal approval.Three Democratssigned a letter opposingthe project.

Jane Kleeb, director ofthe anti-pipeline groupBold Nebraska, saidlocal oppositionremains alive. Shepointed to 115 of the515 landowners alongthe proposed route thatshe said joined theeffort to stop it, despitewhat she described ashigh-pressure salestactics by TransCanada.“For the last threemonths, it’s been verystressful on thelandowners,” she said.

But other landownerssay they’re ready for thedispute to end.

“Up here where thepipeline’s goingthrough, the people I’vetalked to don’t haveconcerns with it,” saidFrankie Maughan Jr.,who farms near theroute in northeastNebraska. “They justwant the money.”

Other states long agosigned off on the line,which would carry830,000 barrels of oilper day from Alberta,Canada, to Texas GulfCoast refineries, butnothing has come easyin Nebraska.

First it was complaintsthat the initial routewould have burrowedthrough the fragileSandhills region, whichsits atop the massiveOgallala reservoir. Afterthe company madechanges, the stateapproved a new route,but in February a judgesided with pipelineopponents in findingthat the wrong stateofficials approved theplan. The state hasappealed the ruling.

Many have received six-figure payments for easements and temporary crop losses while thepipeline is installed.

Surveys commissionedby the University ofNebraska andindependent pollingfirms have shown thatmost Nebraskaresidents support theproject. The latestfederal environmentalimpact report also wasfavorable.

“Once we changed theroute, the mood in thestate completelychanged,” saidTransCanadaspokesman ShawnHoward.

The newest offers toproperty ownerspromise a 50 percentup-front payment foraccess plus a signingbonus.

Weber, who owns landnear Tilden, about 100miles northwest ofOmaha, said thecompany’s offer to himequaled what he couldhave gotten in court. Hesaid he’ll still be able togrow crops on top ofthe strip where the pipewill be buried five feetunderground.

Just a few miles away,85-year-old JosephGrosserode saidTransCanada agreed topay him about$100,000 for aneasement, andpromised he couldkeep the money even ifthe project was neverbuilt.

“That was a big concernof mine,” Grosserodesaid.

Tom Rutjens, aconstruction-companyowner who also lives inTilden, said he knew oftwo landowners whowere dead-set againstthe pipeline, but morewho were willing acceptthe risks.

“Just about everyoneelse I’ve talked to hasbeen tickled” with theoffers, Rutjens said.

Local oppositiondeclined asTransCanada’s offerswent up. Somelandowners havereceived offers as highas $250,000, withsigning bonuses of$60,000 to $80,000,Kleeb said.

Kleeb said activistshave taken heart fromtheir recent successes,including the courtruling against theroute’s approval, andthe refusal of somelandowners to settle.

Jim Carlson, 59, whofarms near the easternNebraska town ofOsceola, said he’sturned down twoTransCanada offers,including one for$244,000, and is moreconcerned than everabout chemicaladditives that could runthrough the pipe.

“I think a lot of peoplewho have signed so far,especially in thebeginning, didn’t knowa lot about thepipeline,” Carlson said.“Initially, I thought itwould be good for thecountry, that it wouldreduce our dependenceon foreign oil. But now?They could offer me$344,000 today, and Iwouldn’t sign it.” ■

Large oil companies pullingup stakes in Kansas ANTHONY, Kan. (AP) —The economic futureseemed so tantalizingjust two years ago asthe nation’s big oil firmsrushed into Kansas.They snapped upmineral leases fromlandowners for highprices and drilledhorizontal wells toextract unknown richesfrom the sameMississippian Limeformation that hadspawned an oil boom inneighboring Oklahoma.

Things have changed.Most of those big out-of-state players are gone.The biggest blow camewhen oil giant Shell OilCo. halted its Kansasexploratory drillingprogram in May and hassince put up for sale625,000 acres of leasesit owns in the state.

Life here has for themost part settled backto normal in the ruralfarming communities inHarper and Barbercounties which wereonce ground zero forthe oil and gasexploration frenzy.

Exploration is ongoing,and derricks still riseabove the buttes androlling terrain of theGypsum Hills in south-central Kansas. Yet theactivity is growing moremodestly, driven by theKansas producers whofor decades have drilledhere and the few out-of-state die-hards likeSandRidge Energy ofOklahoma City whostayed with scaled-downoperations.

“Everybody is kind of inneutral right now,seeing what is going to

happen,” said GregEsping, owner ofVantage Construction inHarper.

Esping and his wife,Marie, have been livingin a fifth-wheel trailer ona few acres outside oftown since selling theirHarper home to a Shellexecutive, who hassince put it back on themarket where it remainsunsold after hiscompany’s pullout.

The Espings built acommunity center inHarper they had gearedfor Shell’s use, andwhich they nowsporadically rent out tocommunity groups. Thecouple also once drewup plans and dreamedof building a hugecomplex with 24apartment buildingshousing 100 units, butended up putting in justsix buildings with 28units in Harper that theynow struggle to fill.

“It hasn’t turned out tobe as big a thing as Ithought it was going tobe — but it is not overyet,” Greg Esping said.

The short-lived Kansasboom was sparked by aconfluence oftechnologies usinghorizontal drilling and atechnique known ashydraulic fracturing, or“fracking,” to coax outoil and gas out of fieldsonce believed tappedout from conventionaldrilling. Companieshave reaped fortunesoff the MississippianLime Play in Oklahomausing it and believedthey could do the samehere by following therock formation

northward into Kansas.The Mississippian Limeis a porous limestoneformation underlyingparts of northernOklahoma and southernand western Kansas.

“All of the resources inoil are still there and Ithink you will still getexploration, but it isgoing to be done at amuch more humblelevel — very consistentwith what the Kansas oiland gas industry doeshistorically,” said ArtHall, executive directorof the Center forApplied Economics atthe University ofKansas.

The differences in thegeology of the twostates dates back morethan 250 million years,when shallow seascovered Kansas asrocks in theMississippian lime playwere deposited. But inthe area that nowencompassesOklahoma the seasduring that period werefar deeper, forming thewidespread andhomogenous formationthere that today holdsvast oil reserves. Bycontrast, the limeformation nowunderneath much ofKansas is thinner andtends to undulate,experts say. That makesit more difficult to findthe “sweet spot” of oilwhen the horizontallateral off the well isdrilled.

“Even though this thinghasn’t been as big athing as everybodythought, it is still asignificant play,” saidRex Buchanan, interim

director of the KansasGeological Survey.

Independent Kansas oilproducers squeezed outby the initial rush toKansas are now mullingover whether to buysome of thoseunwanted mineralleases — at a fraction ofthe price paid by theirbigger counterparts.

Among them is BobMurdock, president ofHutchinson-basedOsage Resources,whose company justfinished drilling threewells last month inBarber County that it isnow bringing online.Osage Resources iscurrently in an“expansion andacquisition mode” giventhat the price of oil andgas leases in Kansashas fallen to 10 or 20percent of what theywere fetching at thepeak of the explorationfrenzy.

“The resource that is inthe rock is the sameresource that has beenthere for the last sevendecades as oil and gascompanies haveattempted to developit,” Murdock said. “Thecompanies that came inthree to four years agoand mademiscalculations justfundamentallymisunderstood theresource.”

Chesapeake Energy,Encana and Apachehave been gone fromthe state for more thana year. Tug HillOperating, ReederEnergy and MidstatesPetroleum filed their lastintents to drill earlier

this year.

“We miss the hustle andbustle,” mused Anthonyreal estate agentBrandon Gerber. “It waskind of fun having theextra traffic aroundtown and such.”

In addition toSandRidge, other out-of-state players who havestayed active in Kansasinclude Source EnergyMid-Con of HighlandsRanch, Colo., and UnitPetroleum of Tulsa,Okla.

Among those grapplingwith the emergingreality are businesseslike Vap Construction,which built 52 newapartments in Anthonyto handle theanticipated influx of oilfield workers in south-central Kansas. Theboom built up — andthen deflated so quickly— that the companyslowed down onfinishing the interior ofmost of the apartmentswhen the influx ofworkers never came,said LeRoy Leland, theconstruction projectmanager for theAnthony apartments.

But construction haspicked up again as thecompany slashed rentsto attract local familiesbefore an influx oftemporary pipelineworkers in recent weeksbegan filling some ofthem. About 28apartments are nowrented.

Vap Construction wasnot the only businessthat hoped to profitfrom the anticipated oilboom. Two new hotels

also were built in HarperCounty.

“It was just too muchpropaganda that goteverybody tanked upand hyped up,” Lelandsaid.

Several Kansans havenoted that Shell toldcommunities not tobuild anything becauseof them because theywere just looking.

“Shell was pretty honestwith us,” Leland said.“But nobody seemed tolisten.”

When his firm couldn’tcompete with theexorbitant prices the bigoil companies werepaying for mineralleases in Kansas,Wichita-based WoolseyPetroleum began drillingin Illinois. Its owner,Wayne Woolsey, saidpeople need tounderstand that whenlarge companies likeShell come into a statethey have a lot ofcriteria to meet to covertheir large overhead.Shell did everythingright, he said, but justcouldn’t get theeconomics to work forthem in Kansas.

“It has been a goodthing that they werehere. It certainly isgoing to have aninfluence by themleaving,” Woolsey said.“And yet I think it hasbeen such a goodinfluence to kind of getit started that there willbe continueddevelopment andcontinued growth.” ■

Shale brings high hopes inMississippi, Louisiana GILLSBURG, Miss. (AP)— Residents livingabove an oil-rich shaleformation thatstretches acrosssouthwest Mississippiand Louisiana havebeen waiting on aboom for years. Asteady trickle of drillingis already boosting therural region’s economy,and spending by two oilcompanies could make2014 the year thatmany other localsfinally cash in on the oilfar beneath their feet.

Already, Max Lawsonhas spent hourswatching the round-the-clock work of shovingpipe into the ground inhis back pasture. Theprocess began twoyears ago when EncanaCorp. built a big gravelpad, but didn’t take offuntil late last year whena convoy of 200 truckscarted in a drilling rigand other equipment tobore into the earthlooking for oil.

“They call it theGillsburg Christmastree,” he said whilestanding near thebrightly lit rig. “It lookslike a little city overhere at night.”

Gillsburg andsurrounding AmiteCounty lie above aprime section of theTuscaloosa MarineShale, a geologicformation thatstretches in boomerangshape acrossLouisiana’s midsection

and into southernMississippi. Drillershave known about theformation north of theGulf of Mexico foryears, but affordabletechnology to removethe oil from the shale’stight pores was slow todevelop.

Thanks partly toadvances in hydraulicfracturing techniques,Encana Corp. andGoodrich Petroleumplan to spend hundredsof millions of dollars inthe area in 2014. Sofar, Goodrich andothers have drilledmore than 30 wellsacross the region,trying to find the rightmethods.

Goodrich ChiefOperating OfficerRobert Turnham saidthat number coulddouble or triple in thearea straddling thestate line just this yearif drillers continue tomake progress.

“It’s at a stage whereyou need more wellsthat have consistentresults, that show therepeatable results thereare in other plays,”Turnham said.

Louisiana StateUniversity scientistsestimate the formationholds 7 billion barrelsof oil, though that totalisn’t proven yet. Most ofit is a light, sweet crudethat can be sold torefiners for more than$100 a barrel. By

comparison, the federalgovernment estimatesthat the U.S. has about40 billion barrels ofproved oil reserves.

Still, the explorationisn’t without financialrisks because of thetricky nature of therock that holds the oil.Goodrich’s stock took abig dive Feb. 20 when itannounced results thatfailed to meet analysts’expectations. One keyissue was atroublesome wellGoodrich drilledelsewhere in AmiteCounty that initiallyproduced adisappointing 500barrels per day.

For the region’seconomy, though, thedrilling has alreadyprovided a much-needed infusion, evenif it’s not an all-outboom yet.

Heavily wooded withonly a handful of smalltowns, Amite Countyhas relied on forestry inrecent decades. ButGeorgia-Pacific LLCclosed a plywood millin Gloster in 2009.Combined with otherbusiness closures,Chancery Clerk RonnieTaylor said AmiteCounty lost as many as850 jobs. The county’s4,600 workers had an8.7 percentunemployment rate inDecember, higher thanMississippi’s average.Here and there,pastures are reminders

After a little morethan a two-year wait, Encana Corp., contractors were finally drilling. Oil companies plan a big increase in drilling activity in 2014 in southwest Mississippi.

of the county’s fadingdairy industry.

Bernell McGehee, anaccountant in Liberty,said his family leasedsome forestland southof town to Encana for a$300-an-acre one-timepayment. He stands toearn more in royalties ifthe land produces oil.

“Any debts we’ve had,we’ve pretty much beenable to get rid of,” hesaid.

McGehee is a partner inthe Ward’s restaurant inLiberty, Amite County’sonly fast-food franchise.He said sales have goneup about 10 percentover the last year,enough to persuade theowners to buy a smalllot to add moreparking.

Other business ownersare taking a moretentative approach.Benny Vine saysbusiness at VineBrothers Quality Meatsin Centreville hasn’tincreased enough tomerit an expansion.

“I don’t know if I wantto add on to therestaurant because itmay not happen,” Vinesaid.

Rhett Anderson wasalready planning a newhouse when he signeda deal to lease hismineral rights andreceive royalties fromEncana. He said themoney means he hasn’tcut any corners on the7,500-square-footdream house.

“I could build thishome the way thedream was,” Andersonsaid.

Kirk Barrell, whosecompany assembleslease tracts and sellsthem, estimates oilcompanies have leasedas much as 1.7 millionacres of TuscaloosaMarine Shale land inLouisiana andMississippi, spendingmore than $300million.

And for those who mayhave sold their mineralrights before thecurrent uptick inexploration, there areother ways to makemoney. For example,landowners can maketens of thousands ofdollars leasing theirponds to hold the waterused in fracturing.

“Most folks will find away to benefit some,”McGehee said.

There are drawbacks,too. For example,drilling trucks aretearing up the thinribbon of asphalt onmany county roads.

“The biggest changeI’ve seen is the amountof traffic, the numberof 18-wheelers that areusing the street,” saidCharles Jones, an 80-year-old having coffeewith friends at LibertyDrug Store, where oilhas begun to rivalcollege football as aconversation topic.

the United States.

Among recent boomareas, the U.S.Geological Surveyestimates that NorthDakota’s Bakken andThree Forks formationshave about 7.4 billionbarrels, althoughexperts say theestimates may be low.North Dakota’sbooming oil industryhas driven up homeprices, decreasedunemployment andattracted newcomers toa state that had beenlosing population untilrecent years.

In Louisiana andMississippi, drillershave been seeing oil foryears in the TuscaloosaMarine Shale when theypunched through onthe way to deeperreserves — but therewas no technology tosuck oil from theshale’s “tight” pores.That began to changewith the developmentof horizontal fracturingtechniques, but somecompanies were stillreluctant to drillbecause the shale’smakeup differed fromother areas where theapproach worked.

Goodrich and othersworked on fine-tuningtheir approaches, andthe industry noticedwhen Goodrichcompleted a promisingwell just west of AmiteCounty.

Believing it’s found therecipe, Goodrich ismaking a big bet on theformation. It spent $27million to acquireleases held by DevonEnergy Corp. mostly inLouisiana’s Tangipahoa,St. Helena and EastFeliciana parishes andnow plans $300 millionin drilling in 2014 inLouisiana andMississippi. Encanaplans $200 million to$300 million in work onits leases, which aremore concentrated inMississippi. Others aremaking investments aswell, with Houston-based HalconResources announcingFeb. 26 that it hadacquired 307,000 acresand plans to drill 10 to12 wells in the regionthis year.

Another key to makingthe area more lucrativewill be driving down theprice of drilling, whichhas been costing $12million or more perwell. Industry leaderssay they can cut thecost to around $7million a well by drillingmore quickly anddrilling multiple wellsfrom one pad.

Anderson, who signed alease with an energycompany and is nowalso getting royaltychecks from oilproduction, said themoney he’s receivedhas changed hisoutlook on work.

“Now I don’t thinkabout having to goback to work. This ismy work. I maintain theproperty,” he said of his500-plus acres. “Iwatch after the timberand I feed the deer andthe turkeys, and that’swhat I do for a livingnow.” ■
