as/Oil industry job creation impa

With the influx of oiland gas companiesarriving in eastern

Ohio, most people expect jobgrowth.

What they may not realize is

that there are added benefits forevery oil and gas job - nearly

two to be exact.

If Ohio follows the same trend

as Pennsylvania did with the

development of the Marcellus

Shale,

it will

find each

reated by the oil and gas industry

es nearly two jobs somewhere in

tate.

. John Gregor, an economics pro-

r at Washington and Jefferson

ege in Washington, Pa., said the

State study determined the 1:2

for the Marcellus Shale.

noted the model is based on the economy before shale

oration, pointing out that once development occurs, there

hanges in support industries.

When they first came to Washington County, jobs were

ed outside the area, and now the jobs are inside the coun-

he said, speculating the outside workers are either becom-

Pennsylvania residents or have been replaced by localkers based on the reduction of out-of-state license plates.

cording to a study led by Dr. Tim Kelsey of Penn State

ersity on the economic impact of Marcellus Shale in

sylvania, each new Marcellus well generated 30 jobs in

sylvania during 2009 and around $4 million in total output

n Pennsylvania’s economy.

his includes the jobs created by direct gas-industry spend-

and indirectly through the companies with whom they

contract, by worker spending of earnings and by miner

owner spending of leasing and royalty dollars,” the stud

Another study prepared by the World-Class Industri

work, LLC., in collaboration with the Marcellus Shal

cation and Training Center, on job creation in West Vir

Marcellus Shale indicates that more than “90 percent

creation takes place in the pre-drilling and drilling phwell development.”

“Jobs, however, will not disappear once a well is com

because new ones will be started elsewhere - Marcellus

is anticipated to last for decades,” it stated.

An economic-impact study on the emerging Utica

prepared for the Ohio and Gas

Education Program, stated in

“Ohio’s natural-gas and crude

dustry supports more than 4,4

rect jobs, which contributes to

12,950 Ohio jobs due to the lroyalties, exploration, drilling

duction and pipeline-const

activities in various geological

tions within Ohio.”

The OGEEP study also states “more than 204,000 jo

be created or supported by 2015 due to exploration, l

drilling and connector pipeline construction for the Utic

reserve.” It also notes 4,614 jobs were created in 201

well exploration and development, midstream, royal

lease expenditures, and this number is expected to ju

22,297 in 2012.

new publication, of-fered by the Penn StateUniversity Extension,

explores the use of water inmining natural gas from deepshale formations.

“Water’s Journey Throughthe Shale Gas Drilling and Pro-

duction Processes in the Mid-

Atlantic Region” analyses the

various means in which water

flows through the natural-gas

industry vis-à-vis the Marcel-

lus shale shale formation.

The lead author of the pub-

on is Charles Abdalla, professor of agricultural and envi-

mental economics.

though the publication focuses on the Marcellus shale for-

on in Pennsylvania, much of the information is applicable

hio.

e chief use of water in the mining

ess, of course, is hydraulic frac-

g — injecting water under high

ure to open fissures in rock for-

ons, thus releasing natural gas or

leum that had been entrapped, as

re, in the rock.

ne of the misconceptions is that

nd water is contaminated by

king],” Abdalla said. “There is

much evidence of that. These for-

ons are so far down there is not

h chance of that.”

Water’s Journey...” details how

and interstate government agencies are being challenged

eep up with the rapid pace of shale-gas development. It

s that new technologies are being tried in both the re-

ce-development process and in managing environmental

water quality and quantity impacts.

e regional river basin commissions, which exist largely

e eastern part of the Marcellus region, have been handling

Marcellus water-management issues by developing regu

to address the industry’s demands on water resources a

tential quantity impacts.

“This publication focuses

on Pennsylvania because it h

most Marcellus drilling activity

state to date,” Abdalla said. “M

the data comes from the Susqu

River Basin Commission, wh

been out in front in collecting

use data.

“We raise issues pertinent t

other mid-Atlantic states with M

lus shale, as well as Ohio.

“The issues discussed —inc

acquisition and transport of fre

ter for drilling, treatment, tra

and discharge of drilling was

— also may pertain to other shale deposits, such as th

shale, which underlies parts of these states.”

Since graduating fromMuskingum Universityin 1979 and earning a

law degree from Capital Uni-versity in 1989, Donald L. Ma-son’s life has been immersed

in public service, evidenced byhis numerous appointments tostate and national committees,chairing several that dealt withenergy policy.

Mason was elected to the

when he was elected mayor of

uring his tenure as PUCO commissioner, Mason repre-

from 1995-2010, where he chaired various committees,

tually becoming vice chair of the Commission. He was ap-

National Petroleum Council, and reappointed by Secretaryuel Bodman; and as government representative and chair-

of the U.S. Dept. of Transportation Technical Hazardous

ut, when asked about what he considers to be his most im-

After that, the well production declines more slowly,

Fire department using new technologyextinguish oil and gas well fres

In an effort to maintainsafety for those they serve,the Newcomerstown

Emergency Rescue Squad’sFire Division has invested in

a new way of helping fight oiland gas well fires.

This new way of fighting

fires is actually through an ap-

plication of a specialized foam

directly applied on the fire.

The foam prevents the re-

lease of vapors from the fire

by “blanketing” the fire and es-

sentially extinguishing it, said

her Stein-Wells, president of NERS.

looks like a gigantic bubble bath for lack of a better de-

tion,” she added.

far, the department has purchased 10 five-gallon pails of

oam. However, Stein-Wells said the foam is rather expen-

She said the foam costs approximately $28 per gallon,

this type of foam is known as ATC AR-AFFF foam or

eous Film Forming Foam.

e foam is biodegradable and environmentally-friendly

h requires very low energy input to produce a very high

ty foam blanket that floats on the fuel surface.

ein-Wells said the foam is mixed with water in hoses on

ire truck and these specialized hoses are used to spray the

m on the fire. They also have a portable foam pack that isin cases where the fire is relatively small in size or dif-

t to get to but very flammable.

e said the department has been called to several oil and

al gas well fires recently. Most recently, she said they

called to help with a fire at an oil well storage tank ex-

on off River Road, Gnadenhutten, in January of this year.

ever, one of the main problems for firefighters to extin-

h the fire is actually turning off the fuel source. To do that,

ghters must call the telephone number of the company on

ide of the well that is on fire to have company officials

ond to the scene. In that case, she said firefighters use bin-ars, if they cannot get close to the fire.

e also said on-lookers and sight-seers are also a problem

n firefighters are trying to locate the well site as the ve-

s hinder the response of emergency vehicles by blocking

oad. Locating the well itself can be difficult, especially

n the wells don’t have addresses.

ometimes that’s a challenge because there is no address to

ite so that makes it more difficult to locate for firefighters

also for the person calling in the fire if they are not familiar

the area,” she said.

ein-Wells said Newcomerstown firefighter and paramedice Wright has done many hours of research to find the right

The current trend on thoseunpaid leases is to renegotiateto a lower price or return thelease all together. This is not a

upstate Pennsylvania. He didn’t sign because they we$250 per acre apart. He died this past year without even offering to pick up his lease at any rate. That’s justthe dice and in this case he lost.

They spent a lot of money andreally generate a lot of locations. That is, sufficient acrone area to justify drilling a well or paying the leases.

iplin esntsteps to Protect Landowner Rights

Many Ohio landown-ers have been, orsoon will be, ap-

proached by a pipeline compa-

ny representative trying to ob-tain a pipeline easement. Thismemo provides an overview of the steps that a landowner willwant to consider in prepara-tion for being approached by apipeline company representa-tive. This is important becausea pipeline easement is likelya forever encumbrance on theproperty!

Step 1 “The Title Re-

search”: Determine whetherthere are any existing ease-ments or right of way agree-

s affecting your property’s title. Pipeline rights granted inast can have a significant impact on your ability to sign apipeline easement. A prior easement may allow a pipelinepany to install new pipelines on your land. It’s importantow that, unlike oil and gas leases which are for a limitedion, most easements last forever.ep 2 “The Decision About Granting”: The landowner’sdecision is whether he is willing to agree to a pipelinement. If the landowner absolutely does not want a pipe-

on his property – no matter the terms or compensation –the landowner should tell that to the pipeline company ASN AS POSSIBLE, so the pipeline can be re-routed aroundproperty. If a re-route isn’t possible the landowner willto immediately hire an attorney (knowledgeable about

ines) to discuss options.ep 3 “The Knock on the Door”: When the pipeline com-representative first approaches you to sign an easement

ill likely want to obtain your signature on the spot. Yoube told there is a certain timetable within which you needgn, and if you don’t sign, the company will take your landugh eminent domain. You will also be told that your neigh-

signed the easement and the neighbors will be angry withf you do not sign. You will feel pressure to sign quickly.there is no rush for you to sign! You will want to be fullymed about your rights and understand every word in thement before you decide to sign.ep 4 “The Negotiation of Terms”:You want to make surethe easement terms adequately protect you and your landver – and that will take negotiations. Some of the terms youwant to include: (1) Description of the specific purpose of ipeline; (2) the specific location; (3) the type of pipeline tostalled; (4) Specific requirements regarding construction,tenance, and remediation; and (5) terms to adequatelyct you and your property and sufficiently compensate you

he easement and for any damages.ep 5 “Show Me the Money”: After negotiating terms, fo-

cus on the question that has been on your mind since yoed thinking about pipeline easements—what am I gettifor this? While the easement will likely last forever, tythe only compensation you will be paid for on the eas

is a one-time payment agreed to at the time of signingabout how the easement will affect the property, properand property value at the present time and also what futuor value the easements may inhibit.

Step 6 “The Threat of Eminent Domain”: A pcompany may have the right to acquire a portion of yothrough eminent domain if you do not agree to grant ament. However, do not let the threat of eminent domainyou to accept the easement and compensation that a pcompany representative first offers you. Even if a part land is taken by eminent domain a landowner has the “just compensation” for that land, and your land values

at its “highest and best use” which is usually well in exthe amount initially offered to a landowner.

50 new tankers to haul crude

oil from well sites.

“The drilling is slowing

One of the biggest fears officials

at the state level have expressed in

regard to the oil and gas industry is

Ohio won’t have enough trained workers to fill the job op-

unities the tidal wave of drilling activities will bring.

response, Marlington High School has adopted an oil and

urriculum for its upper classes, and Alliance City Schools

fering oil-and-gas-specific training for adults in its career

er that will later be offered to high school students.

arlington High School, located in Marlboro Township, Al-

e, has added an Oil and Gas Technology Program for the

-13 academic year, and Lea Packey, assistant to Superin-

ent Joe Knoll, reports 18 students are signed up for the first

on. The district hired a former teacher at the school, Robert

. This first session is also available as an accelerated course

eniors who will only have one year to complete the course.raining students in this growing industry will provide them

career opportunities close to home,” said Nick Evanich,

dinator for the Marlington program. The district’s new pro-

will work in partnership with gas and oil industry leaders

ovide necessary training to students, equipping them with

skills as basic exploration and production of the gas and oil

workplace safety, communication, and team work. Mar-

lington Local Schools has open enrollment, and anyon

ing staffer who also teaches welding techniques to new e

ees at the Alliance-based company.

“Aluminum welding was added to our welding progr

cause it is a popular area of work, not only for oil and g

for the railroad and other industries,” said Raber.

The regular welding course at ACC covers the major

of arc-welding, plasma arc cutting, oxy-acetylene, and MTIG welding, along with an opportunity to develop suc

welding and fabricating techniques. Both the regular

newly-added aluminum welding courses are 648 hour pr

You know the differencebetween a financial advisorand a salesman. So do we.When it comes to your investments, you need solid guidance. Buthow can you be sure your financial advisor isn’t thinking about a

commission instead of your future? The key is to find a professional

who collaborates with you to set your objectives, and who has

the tools and motivation to consider possible options.

As a Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Financial Advisor, I don’t

represent products , I represent my clients. With access to in-

depth research and analysis, I can help you create sophisticated

investment strategies based on your specific situation. In

today’s uncertain world, that’s a very valuable qual ity.
