CMS Oilfield Services technician Jerry Donley uses a Hotsy hotwater pressure washer apparatus attached to a LANDA pressure
washing machine to decontaminate a Dragon frac tank on a work
site in Wintersville, Ohio.
Obviously [hydroexcavation] is big right now and will be big for the next 10 years in Ohio,
West Virginia, Pennsylvania. Really, all over as the infrastructure of the country grows for
moving LPG and all the various gasses that need to be moved across the country.

THE FLEET
In total, CMS has 66 trucks, including everything
from excavators to transport and box trucks.
We have excavators, we have transport trucks,
meaning Class A tractor-trailers with 130-barrel tanks on
them, Halgas says. We have 110-barrel tri-axle water
trucks that haul water in and out of sites and waste in
and out of sites. We have 100-barrel quad-axle trucks for
carrying heavier waters and muds in and out of sites.
Most of the companys trucks are Peterbilt 388s,
but there are also some Freightliners mixed in with five
Macks and five Internationals.
CMS also has two GapVax combo units (HV-57 and
HV-57 High Dump) and another on order. Other vehicles
include box units, which are used primarily for hot-water
washes on rigs and decontaminations on the frac tanks.
We also have lots of Dragon frac tanks 500-barrel
that are available for rent to our customers along with
light plants, Halgas says.
The company moved into doing hydroexcavation
work about three years ago, starting with the first combo
truck they received from GapVax.

Its a service that helps the company stay busy during the long winter
months when things would normally
slow down.
We can keep the sites open with
our snow clearing services, Halgas
says. We have hot water for deicing,
we also have different mixes of CL
water to keep oilfield and pipeline operations going.
Halgas says his company also
plows and salts roads to allow his
trucks through and oil and gas company vehicles moving to and from sites.
We are constantly purchasing more equipment to service the
expanding needs of our clients, Halgas says. Thats what we do every
day here: make sure weve provided a
service that is superior to everyone else
and make sure we have the best training for employees so when you call

Whats
Your
MONEY
Machine?
You can get drill pipe back into service sooner and keep it working longer
when you clean it with NLB high-pressure water jets.
Our water jets (up to 40,000 psi) remove scale and hardened mud more
thoroughly than rattle-and-brush systems, making it easier to pass
inspections. Water jets also flush out debris and drilling fluids without
a separate rinse operation. That means fewer plugged drill heads, less
corrosion, and more work done between cleanings.
For drill pipe that easily passes inspections and goes longer between cleanings,
you cant beat water jets. To learn more about NLB cleaning systems, or ask
about converting your existing system, call 1-800-441-5059 today.

CRITICAL
CONNECTIONS
Deployable fiber optic systems provide a lifeline to the surface in harsh mining environments
By Jeff Elliott

OPERATIONS,

GOMC
abuse associated with the extreme demands in surface and sub-surface mining.
Breakout cable is so strong and rugged because each individual, colorcoded sub-cable has its own tight-buffered coating. In addition, these cables
have a tight-bound outer jacket, which is pressure extruded directly over the
cables core. This combination of a helically stranded core and a pressure
extruded outer jacket provides an overall cable construction that offers crush
and impact protection and increased tensile strength.
If cost is an issue and the conditions warrant it, MSHA-rated distributionstyle cabling is an alternative. This cable is also extremely rugged, featuring
the helically stranded core and extruded outer jacket, but not the additional
sub-cable for each fiber.
Other MSHA-rated cable designs are also available, offering escalating
degrees of cable protection to meet the specific needs of an application. These
include alternative jacket materials, such as PVC and polyurethane, which are
specifically tailored to meet the mechanical and environmental needs of the
application.
Additional options within each cable type include jacket materials for
applications requiring a lower coefficient of friction, chemical resistance and
temperature flexibility for both low and high extremes. Water tolerant options
that take advantage of the qualities of tight buffered cable and super absorbent
polymer aramid yarn are also available.
HYBRID CABLES, CONNECTORS
For applications that can benefit from fiber optics and copper, hybrid
cables offer both within the same cabling sheath.
A distinct advantage of a hybrid cable-connector solution is that the
customer can bundle both the high performance of fiber with the copper
power or control signal in one cable. This reduces the number of cables that
must be designed, purchased and deployed in a system.
Hybrid cabling also facilitates installation of wireless access points
underground.
Unlike traditional wireless networking devices that require 110-volt AC
power for each device, 12vdc or 48vdc power can be supplied in the same
cable to power wireless routers and other electronic devices in a hybrid system.
As a result, certified devices, including VOIP devices and IP cameras, are
able to communicate throughout the network. This provides personnel, even
E-ZINE?
deep within mines, with the means to communicate with each other and even
make calls outside the mine.
Wireless systems also play a key role in providing post-accident miner
locator tracking and two-way communications, a requirement of the Mine
Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006.
Some of the available tracking systems involve small, wearable radio
frequency identification locator tags that can be attached to miners or a piece
of equipment. These tags communicate with wireless access points or nodes
placed in strategic locations throughout the mine to pinpoint their location.
GENDERLESS CONNECTORS
Genderless connectors, designed for quick deployment, are able to
connect with one another, allowing the user to connect fiber optic cables
without regard for male or female ends.
Manufacturers have further simplified the genderless design with userfriendly mating interfaces capable of blind mating as well as applications that
require thousands of mating cycles.
These connector systems are designed to resist extreme harsh mechanical
and environmental conditions including high vibration, mechanical and
thermal shock, and fluid immersion.
With genderless connectors, multiple identical cable assemblies can
be daisy-chained together over a distance of up to several kilometers while
maintaining polarity. Polarity can be an issue when connecting an odd number
of traditional male to female gender connectors. In such cases, additional
connectors, which add signal loss, are required to correct polarity.
In high traffic areas where the risk of damage to installed cabling is
elevated, spare assemblies, fitted with genderless connectors, can be stored to
allow for fast and easy replacement with minimal interruption to operations.
INCREASING CONVERSION TO FIBER OPTICS
According to Hobbs, there are many mining companies that are converting
to fiber optics as the costs for components continue to drop, making fiber
a better solution than copper in most applications. Even die-hard copper
devotees are moving to fiber, and when they do, they rarely look back.
When system engineers realize the increased bandwidth opportunities
afforded by installing a fiber network, they usually expand their requirements
and identify creative new ways to utilize the technology to provide innovative
solutions for their applications, Hobbs says. GOMC

The PKX201H high-pressure pump from
Subaru Industrial Power Products is powered by
a 6 hp Subaru EX17 engine, offering a lift height of
up to 275 feet and a maximum delivery volume of

shallow veins to attain high pressure. A hardened
cast iron volute withstands suspended particles
and small solids sucked through the strainer, while
an abrasion-resistant, cast iron three-blade impeller
and a replaceable wear plate ensure long life and
low maintenance. After adding water to the pump
casing, the high-pressure pump is self-priming, and
the advanced volute design drives water straight
into the cavity for fast priming. A durable and
self-lubricating ceramic carbon mechanical seal
provides hours of trouble-free service. A rugged,
long-lasting strainer is standard and protects pump
components from large solids, while the hole
diameter helps prevent large debris from entering
the suction hose. For durability and protection, a
heavy-duty steel roll cage wraps around the entire
pump. 847/540-7300; www.subarupower.com.

Case Study
Solution
Chemac was invited to conduct a demonstration using a URACA 3-D TWK 175/800 high-pressure cleaning tool. The tool had an operational pressure
of approximately 10,000 psi and a flow rate of 40 gpm. It was fitted on a high-pressure pipe and positioned inside the vessel with a special flange adapter. The
operator only needed to position the tool, lock the agitator and turn on the pump.
Result
The tool successfully removed all buildup from the reactor in minutes. All residues were removed to the complete satisfaction of plant management. All cleaning
was done with minimal labor, mitigating previous safety concerns. 800/217-8677; www.chemacinc.com.
Solution
E&B Green Solutions provided G-Clean Storage Tank Cleaner to the company, whose cleaning crews used it to test clean two similar style tanks using
their conventional hot-water pressure washing method on one and G-Clean on the other. The one-step use of a 3,000 psi pressure washer with diluted product was
successful. The temperature on the pressure washer thermostat was set at approximately 175 degrees F, and the crew used a turbo tip on the nozzle.
Result
The cleaner reduced cost by more than 50 percent, time to clean by 75 percent and water usage by 60 percent. The workers cited improved safety, as the cleaner
suppressed and eliminated VOCs and caused no skin irritations. 855/484-6091; www.ebgreensolutions.com.

jetter truck, scoured the wet well clean in 12 minutes. Another half cycle was run to further decimate the grease pad, which could then be easily suctioned into a
combo truck or washed downstream.
Result
The lift stations were free of grease in just 12 minutes without laborers entering the lift station, eliminating hazardous, time-consuming confined-space entry
riggings. The city decided to purchase, and with the addition to their maintenance toolkit, authorities are able to stay ahead of their lift station problems, provide

Solution
In July 2014, the barge owners contacted Polston Applied Technologies. Polston provided a PAT 360-HD combination truck and set up at the site. After
extending their down-hole pump system into the product, the crew was able to recirculate and soften the material. Polston was able to remove the material and
pump it into dockside vacuum boxes.
Result
Over 75,000 gallons of petroleum product was removed, and the barge capacity was restored. The work was accomplished in five days, with almost no
disruption of dock activities. 844/765-7866; www.polstonprocess.com. GOMC

FINDING SOLUTIONS
Texas is aware of these issues and,
given that the state is in a prolonged
drought, has been trying to find solutions
to its water issues.
One of the strategies used in the Eagle
Ford Shale has involved setting up recycling
facilities for frac water so that operators can
reuse the water. However, the most common
method in Texas for disposing of wastewater
laden with frac solution has been to inject
the water into wells that are regulated by
the Texas Railroad Commission.
Many communities and companies
in the oil and gas shale plays throughout
the country are looking at ways to help

CANADIAN EXTRA
The group started informally in 1955 and slowly grew until the association
was officially founded in 1961. Now, CAPPA represents more than 300 oil and
gas companies, independent contractors and government regulatory agencies.
Production accounting is a unique blend of accounting, regulation, data
analysis and reporting of revenues and royalties, according to McFadyen.
Production accountants receive information from the field, land
administrators, joint venture analysts, marketing and financial departments
in order to perform monthly requirements of their role, McFadyen says.
Production accountants work with volumes of oil, gas and water produced
from the wells, inventory at facilities and distribution from the facility
including revenue, division of ownership and royalties.
Gavin Schafer, CAPPA Board of Directors chairperson, adds that reporting
and royalties are based on each Canadian provinces regulations and guidelines.
While there are commonalities across provinces that are inherent in
the products being extracted, each region has distinct royalty regimes and
reporting requirements, Schafer says. In the case of British Columbia, they
also have a distinct location convention due to their topography. PAs must
have a firm grasp on the requirements across the borders.

GOMC
OFFERING EDUCATION
In addition to its Certificate Program in Production Accounting, CAPPA
offers continuing education through luncheon seminars, day seminars and an
annual conference.
We offer mostly technical and regulatory courses to keep our members
up to date on changes to reporting and standards, although we do also
provide courses in leadership and other soft skills, McFadyen says.
McFadyen says that many of CAPPAs members already have other
degrees or diplomas that they have earned in addition to the CAPPA certificate
program.
Largely, production accountants will enter into the field with just the
foundation of the certificate in production accounting, McFadyen says. It
really depends on the direction the individual wishes to go in their career.
Students are usually new to the industry when they start the CAPPA
program, McFadyen says, noting that although the program is offered online
and through distance learning, classroom students point out the value they
see in the networking within the class, both with their instructors who work
in the industry and their fellow students.
Students are also aware of the competitive salaries offered and excellent
career opportunities, McFadyen says.
The career outlook for production accounting is a good one, both with
continued growth in the oil and gas industry and the future demographic
shift as people retire and additional positions open.
According to CAPPAs Fall 2013 Membership Survey, the mean base
salary for production accountants was almost $94,000.
We recognize the coming demographic shift that will constrain the
labor market in the next five to 10 years and know that we will be competing
with vocations within and from outside of our industry to attract new students
and properly prepare them for available production accountant roles,
Schafer says. We are developing the dynamic organization required to meet
that challenge.
CONTINUING TO GROW
CAPPA isnt sitting still either. The association is currently working on
a major education program redesign and is developing new value adds for its
membership, according to McFadyen.
We are also excited to be further building our partnerships with
industry employers, she says. As well, we are in the midst of updating our
branding, so stay tuned for our launch in the fall.
Schafer notes that production accountant roles have continued to evolve
over industry expansions and contractions.
ingenuity at work
330.339.2211
www.vacallindustries.com
Regulatory changes, technological advances and product diversification
are commonplace and require different reporting and analysis, Schafer says.
We have found at CAPPA that these are areas that we need to be more
proactive in understanding in order to provide the best information for our
students and members.
Production accountants are often seen as a hub of information and
reporting between multiple parts of the organization, Schafer says. We
must be knowledgeable in the areas of land, engineering, field operations
and financial reporting and to be able to translate the different language and
requirements of each. We are the gatekeepers of the field production, which
we convert into revenue and royalties. GOMC

Product Spotlight
Intelligent visual monitoring system remotely
detects, identifies personnel at field sites
By Ed Wodalski
Osprey Identify, the latest intelligent visual
monitoring product from Osprey Informatics, is
designed for oil and gas operations, enabling companies
to remotely detect, recognize and monitor activity at
unmanned field sites. Rather than simply recognizing
a vehicle is at the gate, Identify determines if the driver
is authorized to be on site. Through the use of strategically
placed security cameras, the system can also be used to inspect
remote locations.
In oil, gas and mining you have a lot of places that youd like to be
able to regularly see, but would require some serious travel to get there,
says Michael von Hauff, CEO for Osprey Informatics. Typically, oil, gas
and mining lack the infrastructure for traditional video surveillance, like
broadband connections and cabling for power. Our system is designed for
these challenging conditions.
Part of the Osprey Reach visual monitoring platform, Identify also
supports work-alone programs by ensuring the worker arrives and departs
within the expected window, and by giving a supervisor remote visual
access to the workers activities.
What Identify allows us to do is tie into the users vehicle tracking
system, von Hauff says. Optionally, an application can be placed on
a tablet or smartphone that coordinates the persons credentials and
current GPS location. What that allows you to do is know where people
are at any given time. You know what time they got to the site and what
time they left.
The application triggers a geofence and alerts the server, prompting

Rubie says it is important to do your homework before entering into a

packaging? Who will be responsible for managing the inventory, restocking
the machines, and making adjustments based on your changing product
needs? And what can they bring to the table in terms of safety services like
facility inspections, PPE fittings and product selection support? GOMC
