KEEP YOUR
BUSINESS HEALTHY
Proper safety training and precautions will
help your people and your profits
By Luke Laggis

Luke Laggis
afety is an important topic in

this industry. For the companies
providing gas, oil and mining
support services, it is one of the biggest
factors for success. A bad safety record will
get you run out of the oilfields in a hurry.
June is National Safety Month. Its
not specific to this industry, but it carries
extra weight in this industry, where small
mistakes can have dire consequences.

normalized per 100 workers, and divided

by total man-hours worked was 0.37;
the industry average is 2.0 to 3.0. Their
Experience Modification Rate, a number
used by insurance companies to gauge past
cost of injuries and future chance of risk,
was 0.68; the industry average is defined
as 1.0. High safety marks translate into
reduced costs for both Crossfire and its
clients. Clients appreciate lower risks, and
that drives much of Crossfires business.
Maybe your company isnt big enough
or doesnt have the resources to build a
training program on par with Crossfire, but
there are still lessons to be learned from
the companys efforts. And any additional
efforts you make to train and educate your
workers will pay huge dividends.
In this months Safety First column,
Doug Day outlines five important topics
Maybe your company isnt big enough or doesnt have the resources to build a training program
on par with Crossfire, but there are still lessons to be learned from the companys efforts.
And any additional efforts you make to train and educate your workers will pay huge dividends.
Over
450,000
workers
were
employed in the oil and gas extraction
and support industries in 2011, according
to the Occupational Health and Safety
Administration. These workers engaged
in many different industrial processes
involved with drilling and servicing wells.
These processes frequently require the use
of specialized equipment and specialized
work crews, which makes proper safety
training all the more important. From
2003 to 2010, 823 oil and gas extraction
workers were killed on the job a fatality
rate seven times greater than the rate for all
U.S. industries.
OSHAs industry incident reports are
a quick and sobering reminder of what
can go wrong in your workplace, and the
severity of the consequences. Here are a
handful of event descriptions, in order as
they were listed in the report:
Employee is killed in fall from
drilling rig

GOMC
Employee is caught between trailer

and truck, is killed
Employee is struck by liquid under
pressure, later dies
Accidents will inevitably though
often tragically happen, but most can be
prevented with proper training, precaution
and oversight.
Crossfire LLC, the company profiled
in this months GOMC cover story, is a
great example. The company takes safety
training very seriously, and its CenterPoint
Fire and Safety Program has been a big part
of its success. Safety training is required
for both in-house and client personnel. In
fact, CenterPoint is so highly regarded by
the industry that competitors have applied
for training.
In 2013, Crossfire logged over 2
million man-hours worked, and over
11 million miles driven. Their Total
Recordable Incidence Rate based on
recorded injuries in a calendar year,
to help build safety awareness within your

company. Much of it may seem obvious,
but thats the thing with safety: The
necessary precautions can sometimes be
so obvious that they are ignored or taken
for granted. Dont let that happen in your
business. Keep safety top of mind with all
your people. Its one of the biggest favors
you can do for them.

Pinpoint Fracking
Particles
A new tabletop nanoparticle tracing
device developed at Rice University
could help oil and gas producers
gauge the effectiveness of their fracking
efforts. How? The device predicts how
effectively a nanoparticle tracer will
travel through a well. Contractors may
be pumping fracturing fluid into several
wells, but they often have very little idea
of how the insertion well is connected to
the production side, says Rice chemist
Andrew Barron. Find out how this

HEIGHTS
An innovative approach has quickly elevated Crossfire LLC
to top-tier status among oilfield construction firms
By Dan Heim
Crossfire LLC started out as a small operation specializing in seeding and land reclamation projects. They are currently
headquartered in Ignacio, Colo., a small town 10 miles east of Durango in the southwest corner of the state. Founded by Ezra
Lee in 2001, Crossfire has enjoyed tremendous growth over its first 12 years and is now in the process of moving their base
of operations to a 40,000-square-foot facility in Durango.
Were now available for operations in every state west of the

Mississippi, plus Ohio, and were looking at further expansion in
the eastern half of the country, says Larry Rust, superintendent of
Trucking Operations for Crossfire. But were doing this slowly, adding
what we can when we can, subject to maintaining our high level of
quality and our safety record.
In addition to their Ignacio home office, Crossfire has branch

offices in 10 other states and is looking to expand on that metric as
well. Business is booming in the oil, gas and mining industries, despite
the economic downturn, and Crossfire intends to leverage that boom
for itself and its clients.
Its all about safety, efficiency and integration, says Derek
McCoy, Crossfires business development manager. If we can provide
those values to our clients, and do it better than anyone else, the skys
the limit for Crossfire.
Starting from humble origins, Crossfire has made the right
decisions, retained the requisite skilled personnel, trained staff as needed
and built an impressive list of clients: Chevron, BP ConocoPhillips and
,
Shell, to name just four of 35 listed on their extensive resume. Crossfire
built that resume with informed planning and gradual but continuous
expansion into all construction industry service areas.
GROWING THE BUSINESS
Since were a one-owner company, our business strategy is based
on industry growth guided by great team vision, Rust says. We trust
the owners judgment, and its pointed us in the right direction so far.
Were all on the same page here at Crossfire.

McCoy echoes that appraisal, observing how smaller privately held

companies often have a better grasp of what they need to do to succeed: We
can adapt to changes in the industry or economy more quickly than large
corporations. But to my mind, its our safety record that really sets us apart and
gives us the edge to compete.
Crossfire has grown exponentially since the start of the boom in U.S. gas
and oil exploration. Adding more services as needed to grab more business,
they can now handle everything it takes to get a new operation up and running.
That includes:
Initial road building
Well pad and wellhead installation
Onsite support buildings
Pipeline construction
Ongoing maintenance
Ongoing safety training
Were primarily a construction company, but we also have a maintenance
side to the business, Rust points out. Once the wells are producing, we
provide services for the production side of the operation as well. And that
includes ongoing comprehensive safety training at least 30 hours before we
send anyone out on a job. It covers everything from CPR to defensive driving to
job-specific skills.
Crossfire is not limited to the gas and oil industry. Renewable energy
projects, including hydro, wind and solar are also in their business plan. Theres
not much potential for new hydro in this country, but Crossfire has done some
hydro plant upgrades as part of the AARA program for national infrastructure.

LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY
State-of-the-art technology also factors heavily into the business plan. This
is what can level the playing field between smaller companies like Crossfire
and their larger multinational competitors like, say, Halliburton. Crossfire has
leveraged this technology on several fronts to improve and publicize their safety
and efficiency stats.
Crossfire utilizes ISNetworld, an information portal that allows potential
clients to access Crossfires (and their competitors) policies and procedures, as
well as their safety records. And Crossfires safety record is impressive.
VisionLink technology, provided by Caterpillar, assists with multi-state
logistics monitoring. Not unlike the popular OnStar system for passenger
vehicles, it provides data on such parameters as:
EFFICIENT EQUIPMENT
Green Iron might seem a surprising label for heavy equipment, but the
Caterpillar D7E is exactly that a big, mean, green machine. Despite striving
to attain a small-company culture, Crossfire LLC was featured in national
media last year for its acquisition and deployment of this innovative piece
of engineering.
The D7E is not a hybrid in the same sense as passenger cars, but it
does have a diesel-electric drive system. The Cat C9.3 ACERT diesel engine
is coupled to a generator that powers two AC drive motors. That engine runs
at a constant (optimal) rpm, and can move a given amount of dirt using 10
to 30 percent less fuel than its conventional predecessor.
Location and run-time logs for engines and

machines
Schedules for planned maintenance and major
repairs
Management of fault codes or diagnostic codes
Problem detection before major component
failures
Machine availability and productivity
Identification of inefficient operation and need
for operator training
For example, with any vehicle, we can monitor
downtime, idle time and active time, McCoy says. If
a vehicle isnt operating in the most efficient manner,
we can take the steps needed to correct that. It adds to
our bottom line, and the clients bottom line. Properly
run and maintained equipment adds value for
our clients.
In addition, Crossfire uses Caterpillars Field
Follow program. This augments the VisionLink system
by incorporating logistics management protocols,
again helping to use their equipment as efficiently
as possible. They are currently using these systems
to manage their recently acquired fleet of Caterpillar
Hybrid 329 Excavators and Cat CT660 trucks
integrated with Premier Oilfield Equipment CV Series
hydroexcavator bodies.
Crossfire Trucking Operations Superintendent Larry
Rust operates a Cat D7E dozer on a project southwest of
Ignacio, Colo.
With a weight of only about 60,000 pounds, its small enough to work
on steep slopes, in forests and for backfilling pipelines with reduced risk of
damaging the pipes.
Crossfire recently worked with Caterpillar to help launch a national
campaign promoting their new CT660 Cat trucks integrated with Premier
Oilfield Equipment CV Series Hydroexcavator bodies. Crossfire purchased 17
of these and is now using them in the field. They are not hybrids, but they
are efficient, employing advanced fuel management and an aerodynamic
chassis. And they are safe: everything from rearview mirrors, to direct lines of
sight from the cab, to dashboard displays are designed with safety in mind.

Crossfire has become a very

diversified company. Gravel pits, like
this one south of Ignacio, Colo., are a
growing part of the business.
Crossfire rarely uses local equipment or

subcontractors. We move our equipment around
as needed, Rust says. Weve got nine equipment
distribution centers to help us do this allocation. By
avoiding the use of subcontractors where we can, we
know our heavy equipment is up to specs and being
operated by our own people people who already know
how to use it safely.
When they do have to use a subcontractor, which
McCoy notes is sometimes necessitated by logistics, they run them through
their training program first so they dont risk compromising their excellent
safety record.

equipment is up to specs and being operated by our own people

MOVING IT AROUND
Logistics technology further improves efficiency, reduces costs and adds

ensure quality control and availability. That equipment includes:
350 Yellow Iron Units, aka big machines, from Caterpillar
40 hydroexcavation trucks, including a large fleet of Cat CT660 trucks
integrated with Premier Oilfield Equipment CV Series hydroexcavator
bodies, as well as Vactor HXX units on Peterbilt and Western Star chassis

SAFETY BY THE NUMBERS

Crossfires CenterPoint Fire and Safety Program is a large part of their
success. Safety training is required for both in-house and client personnel. In
fact, CenterPoint is so highly regarded by the industry that competitors have
applied for training.
The metrics for safety come down to two important numbers known as
TRIR and EMR, calculated from data on how much work was done compared
to how many accidents and injuries were reported. TRIR and EMR ratings are
like our credit score, McCoy explains. Our stellar record is what really drives
our business.
We strive for exceptional safety, not only to meet industry standards, but
to exceed them. Crossfires safety stats are among the best in the industry. Still,
were not satisfied with our performance until we meet our self-imposed goal of
zero incidents, and weve done that in several years.

TRIR stands for Total Recordable Incidence Rate. Its based on recorded
injuries in a calendar year, normalized per 100 workers, and divided by total
man-hours worked. This number is used by insurance companies to set rates for
liability and comprehensive policies. It can also affect the charges for bonding.
EMR stands for Experience Modification Rate, and its a crucial metric for
any business. This number is used by insurance companies to gauge past cost
of injuries and future chance of risk. The lower the EMR of your business, the
lower your workers compensation insurance premiums will be.
For example, in 2013, Crossfire logged over 2 million man-hours worked,
and over 11 million miles driven. Their TRIR was 0.37; the industry average
is 2.0 to 3.0. Their EMR was 0.68; the industry average is defined as 1.0.
This exemplary safety record translates into reduced costs for both Crossfire
and its clients. Clients appreciate lower risks, and that drives much of
Crossfires business.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
Crossfire started as a reclamation operation back in 2001, and that still
comprises much of their business. Old industrial sites, especially those operating
in the pre-EPA era, often have large areas contaminated by hazardous waste.
Crossfire can handle that, and has worked with the environmental divisions of
several large companies, like Chevron, to help them decommission older sites
and bring them into compliance.
We recently took on a job to decommission a 20-mile stretch of 50-year-
old pipeline that runs under the

www.westernstar.com
Mississippi River, McCoy says. Its
an environmental legacy issue for the
owner, and theres no way were going to dig it up. Our plan is to flush it,
remove any contaminates and then fill it with inert material to seal it off.
Crossfire is capable of handling any decommissioning project up to $75
million, which could include coal power plants and refineries.
PHILOSOPHY FOR SUCCESS
Crossfire founder Ezra Lee wrote their vision and mission statements, and
they succinctly summarize his philosophy for success.
Vision Statement: At Crossfire our vision is to be the leading energy
service contractor most admired for its people, relationships and
performance.
Mission Statement: Crossfires mission is to consistently exceed the
expectations of our customers and to be the best in the eyes of our
employees.
McCoy says safety is everything in this industry, and thats what sets
Crossfire apart from the competition. Thats why we started our CenterPoint
Fire and Safety division. When we bring in new people, we train them in-house
and put them in the field only after theyve been fully NCCER certified.
So if business is down in one area, rather than laying these people off
and losing them to the marketplace, we can just move them to another area.
Obviously, thats good for retaining the people weve spent money to train, and
adds value for the client.
In addition to training their own people, Crossfire has had many of
their competitors send staff through their safety training. Likewise for the
subcontractors they use. And they also provide ongoing training for their
clients personnel.
Our owner has a unique approach to the business. For him, no job is too
big or too small, McCoy says. Its all about providing whatever our clients
need. And I think a large part of our success comes down to that can do
attitude. With all of our employees sharing that philosophy, were really an
unbeatable team. GOMC

Eye on the Industry
DEALING WITH DANGER

As oil industry injuries rise, companies take measures to reduce risks for employees
By Cory Dellenbach
orking on oil and gas drilling sites can be extremely dangerous.

Workers are well aware of the risks, and employers do everything
they can to plan for and mitigate them.
Accidents still happen, however, as was the case on March 20 when a man
died after being struck by a traveling block at a drilling site in Dunn County,
North Dakota.
According to online news reports, the man was trapped under blocks
and couldnt be resuscitated after being rescued. His death was the most
recent of nearly 40 in the oilfields of the Bakken Shale play since fiscal
year 2010, says Eric Brooks, area director for the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration.

FATALITIES
ON THE RISE
In 2012, 138 people died
Thomas Perez
working in oil and gas extraction
fields in the U.S. The number
has increased since 2009 when there were 68 deaths recorded in the industry.
We can and must do better. Job gains in oil and gas and construction
have come with more fatalities, and that is unacceptable, says Secretary
of Labor Thomas Perez in a statement. No worker should lose their life
for a paycheck.
Oil and gas fatalities were at their lowest in 2009 since the statistic was
first recorded in 2003. In 2010, there were 107 fatalities and in 2011 there
were 112.
Perez says increases in the number of jobs in the oil and gas industry is a
big reason for the increase in that area. The total private sector employment in
the U.S. increased by more than 1 million jobs from 2007 to 2013, which is
about a 1 percent increase. In the same period, oil and gas added 162,000 jobs,
about a 40 percent increase.
During times of high demand like now, there are new workers brought
into this industry, and these are workers who may not have relevant training
and experience, says Ryan Hill, who leads the oil and gas extraction program
20
GOMC
at the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health. They didnt grow up around the industry,
especially in some of the newer oil fields.
A report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
found that oilfield workers were seven times more likely to die on the job than
other industries.
Workers in this industry typically work 12 to 14 hour shifts for a week or
two consecutively, Hill says. The type of work that workers do often requires
performing repetitive and physical labor.
OTHER INJURIES UP TOO
On March 25, Brian Busby suffered non-life-threatening burns to his
hands and head while working at a Nabors Drilling rig on a Whiting Petroleum
location in McKenzie County, North Dakota, according to the McKenzie
County Sheriffs Department.
Busbys injuries were caused by a rig fire.
His injuries are just one example of many that can, and do, happen on

drilling sites throughout the U.S. According to Bureau of Labor statistics those
nonfatal injuries have also increased with lost-time injuries costing the industry
$303 million and 50,000 workdays in 2012.
Of that lost-time cost to the industry, oil and gas extraction jobs spent
$88.2 million, while drilling support gave up $65.6 million and other support
services spent $149.5 million. The total of $303 million is up from $271 million
in 2011. At nearly $76,000 each, those lost-time injuries cost the industry $539
per employee across the entire workforce.
The typical injured worker in the sector in 2012 was male, age 25-34 and
on the job one to five years when injured. Employees on the job for less than
three months and those between three and 11 months
were the second and third most injured groups.
Most incidents at oil and gas drilling sites fit
into one of the five most common oilfield safety areas
where OSHA makes citations.
Busbys burns fall into the explosions and fires
category, while the man who was trapped under the
blocks would be classified as a struck-by, caught-in or
caught-between injury. The other three categories are
falls, confined spaces and chemical exposures.
Brooks noted that approximately 129 employers, with nearly 1,200

employees, participated in the event.
The second thing OSHA did to improve safety was conduct a dedicated
Problem Solving Initiative, where additional compliance officers from throughout
the region traveled to North Dakota to conduct dedicated enforcement activity
within the Bakken formation.
For a one-month period of time, inspection teams traveled through the
approximately 35,000 square miles of operating area conducting unannounced
site inspections, Brooks says. GOMC
MAKING CHANGES
OSHA oil and gas inspections are up over the
last five years, according to statistics, but not every
inspection ends on a bad note.
We have a predominance of employers who have
embraced their responsibility to provide and ensure a
safe workplace. These employers have assisted us in our
goal towards improving worker safety, Brooks says.
However, a small number of employers still harken
back to the days of mere regulatory compliance.
Penalties for OSHA citations are sharply higher
for the oil and gas group. Extraction averaged the
highest penalties at $2,850 per citation in 2012, while
drilling averages $2,504 per citation and other support
averages $2,225 per citation.
Brooks has seen companies make some changes
over the last several years to keep employees safe,
the biggest of which is the widespread use of flame
resistant clothing (FRC).
We began addressing this issue around 2008.
At that time the use of FRC was rarely seen except
under the most severe of working conditions. Now,
you would be hard pressed to find an employer who
has not implemented a comprehensive FRC policy.
We have experienced numerous success stories where
employees are alive today through the use of FRC.
OSHA has also implemented several measures
towards reducing the number of fatalities in the
Bakken formation. The first is a voluntary industry
stand down.
The stand down called for employers to
voluntarily cease operations for a portion of a day in
order to increase the level of awareness of workplace
hazards and means to safely address them, Brooks
says. Over the next 30 days, these employers
conducted inspections of their work sites.

Tech Perspective
NATURAL
ADVANTAGE
Consider this burgeoning domestic fuel option as you weigh the decision to upgrade parts of your fleet
By Jim Kneiszel
THE NEXT TIME YOU BUY A DUMP TRUCK OR MEDIUM-DUTY

flatbed or semi tractor-trailer, will you be sticking with tried and true diesel
engine technology or looking toward an emerging natural gas-powered rig?
A lot of factors should go into your choice of a familiar diesel system
which comes with the drawbacks of more pain at the pump and highmaintenance emissions components or to become an early adopter of a
technology using a now-abundant North American fuel source.
A significant number of small-business fleet owners are sitting on a parking
lot of aging on-the-road vehicles. Conservative company owners who run work
trucks hard and use them every day may have put off new truck purchases after
the 2007 and 2010 changes to emissions systems. And they may have stayed
out of showrooms as the economy has started its recovery.
But now, many of those work trucks are at or past their end-of-life date and
need to be replaced. And as contractors are getting busier with infrastructure
work and the economic upswing, the last thing they want is to have crews idled
by breakdowns involving older trucks.
NO FOREIGN OIL
Many American business owners like the idea of using domestic energy
supplies to power their fleets and reduce the nations reliance on foreign oil.
And if those same business owners could save on fuel bills while eliminating
the problematic maintenance of emissions equipment on their diesel trucks,
theyll start to take notice of natural gas.
Oklahoma-based Seaboard Foods and its subsidiary, High Plains
Bioenergy, just invested in a natural gas fleet of Kenworth trucks to transport its
B99 biodiesel product and live hogs to its food processing plant. The company
purchased two Kenworth T660 trucks with Cummins Westport ISX12 G
heavy-duty natural gas engines for the biodiesel transport and 43 T800 short
hood day cabs using the same powerplant for hauling animals.
We see adding CNG-powered Kenworth trucks as a great opportunity
to further our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship,
says Terry Holton, president and CEO of Seaboard Foods. The availability
of a 12-liter natural gas engine really makes it possible for our operation to
run CNG-powered trucks because it provides the right amount of power and
torque for the loads our trucks carry.
24
GOMC
The Cummins ISX12G natural gas

engine shares 80 to 90 percent of
its components with a traditional
diesel engine. The fuel storage and
delivery system is more complex in
a natural gas powerplant. (Photos

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 112,000 vehicles are

powered by natural gas in this country, and 14.8 million worldwide. According
to the departments Alternative Fuels Data Center, CNG is best for highmileage vehicles that operate in a limited territory. The LNG options are better
for vehicles that have longer hauls, according to the department.
In the LNG technology, gas is cooled to a cryogenic state, at -260 degrees
F, changing it from a gas to a liquid. The fuel is kept in liquid state in big,
dual-walled stainless steel tanks until its conveyed to the engine for burning.
In CNG technology, natural gas is kept at 3,500 psi in storage tanks until its
fed into the engine. Storing either fuel on the truck requires expensive tankage.
There is also, however, the advantage of less maintenance.
You dont have the diesel emissions system to maintain, and cleaning
the filters and replacement. When you tell [truck buyers] that, their eyes get
huge, Holton says. Youve got their attention when you start talking about
diesel emissions.
This Kenworth T660 owned by High Plains Bioenergy is powered by a Cummins Westport
ISX12 G heavy-duty natural gas engine.
Here are a few questions to help you determine how well your business is
suited to natural gas-fueled trucks:
Do you have established fueling stations in your area?
The infrastructure of fast-fill natural gas fueling stations necessary for
these trucks is in its infancy, but there are areas of the country where its
better established. Check around your shop location and the areas where you
drive most to see if youd have access to enough fuel
stations to make the conversion practical. Keep in
mind that if natural gas trucks grow in popularity,
fueling stations should proliferate as well. So even
if natural gas doesnt seem to be the best option
for you today, it might make more sense down
the road.
You dont have the diesel emissions

system to maintain, and cleaning the
filters and replacement. When you tell
[truck buyers] that, their eyes get huge.
Youve got their attention when you
start talking about diesel emissions.
Terry Holton
Do you put on enough miles to

maximize fuel savings?
With diesel prices hovering around $4 per gallon,
you could expect to save about 25 percent or more on
fuel costs going with natural gas. While 80 percent of the
diesel and natural gas engine componentry is identical,
the fuel storage and delivery systems in natural gas trucks
drive up the cost of the trucks. Douglas was hesitant
to give examples because every truck specification will
be different, but youll have to consider whether youll
be dollars ahead going with the more expensive new
technology offset by lower fuel costs. Another thing to
consider is whether you think the price of diesel fuel will
continue to rise and if natural gas will continue to be a
cheaper alternative.
Will your truck have enough room
for the expanded tankage?
Fuel tankage takes up significantly more space on
natural gas-powered rigs. According to Douglas, tanks
for LNG engines take up twice the amount of space as
diesel fuel tanks, and tanks for CNG engines take up
four times as much space as traditional diesel tanks.
Like diesel trucks, these tanks can be mounted on the
frame rail, but they can also be installed behind the cab.
So there is some flexibility on installation depending on
how you use your trucks.

GOMC
Does your state offer incentives for conversion?

The federal government at one time offered attractive incentives for truck
buyers to switch to natural gas, but that went away a few years ago, according
to Douglas. But he says a number of states, including California, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania and Texas, continue to offer grants and rebates for upgrading to
natural gas trucks. To search the incentives offered in each state, check out the
U.S. Department of Energy website: www.afdc.energy.gov.
Are you more comfortable with the old reliable diesel?
Many truck buyers will want to stick with the technology they know
best, and thats OK. Douglas says manufacturers continue to improve diesel
technology to make the engines more efficient and reduce pollution. Diesel
is not going anywhere, he says. But for certain segments of our industry and
applications, natural gas may be an alternative that people will be considering.
Another option is hybrid technology, combining a diesel engine and
electric motor to save fuel. This option makes sense for trucks working in a lot
of stop-and-go traffic; for example, Coca-Cola uses 700 medium-duty delivery
trucks using hybrid Kenworth engines. Some companies weigh the potential
benefits of being early adopters to technology and make the jump.
NATURAL GAS OUTLOOK
Douglas says the impact of natural gas on heavy-duty trucks is going to
be profound.
Natural gas today is such a huge game changer for North America, he
says. This resource, for the most part, is something that wasnt fully realized
until the last few years. The magnitude is significant and the price associated
with it is very good, too. Its a cheap and abundant fuel source that works well
in heavy trucks. GOMC

Expo Spotlight
OUT OF THE BOX

Retrofit hydroexcavation units garner lots of attention from overseas attendees
By Cory Dellenbach
OXR representatives didnt know what to expect as first-time exhibitors

at the Pumper & Cleaner Environmental Expo International in February,
but by the end of the show, they were pleased with the response.
A majority of the people weve been speaking with are actually from
overseas, says Mike Muldowney, vice president of engineering for BOXR Mfg.
Inc. Theyre interested in units that can be produced here, but mounted on
trucks over there.
BOXR manufactures ready-to-mount hydroexcavation units that are
designed and constructed by operators for operators, according to Muldowney,
whose father started the company in the 1980s. BOXR was displaying one of
their ready-to-mount hydroexcavation units at the show this year a unit that
can carry 1,000 gallons of freshwater and has a 10-cubic-yard debris tank.
A majority of the people weve been speaking with are actually

from overseas. Theyre interested in units that can be
produced here, but mounted on trucks over there.
Mike Muldowney
Weve spent so much time digging the holes ourselves, we know what we
like and want in a machine and we started there with our basic specifications,
Muldowney says. You walk around and you see machines covered in all kinds
of tool boxes and do-dads and hose reels and heaters and glove warmers and
boot dryers and all kinds of other stuff, but we know its not stuff you need to
get a hole dug. This is where you start, this is the shovel, the rest of that is the
automated stuff.
The unit on display has several components to it, including a Roots 827
Blower, which has 4,200 cfm with 16 inches of vacuum. It isnt as much
vacuum or cfm as some of the other companies are touting, but its what we
know works for the job, Muldowney says. Sometimes you can have too much.
If youre trying to attach trim in your house with a sledgehammer, its going to
go through the wall; its the same with these machines.
On the water side, the unit has another industry standard, a CAT 3560
water pump. Muldowney says going with the CAT 3560 was a given. We run
a full hydrostatic drive on both our water and vacuum side that enables us to
run more efficiently, Muldowney says. If you dont need all that water flow or
pressure, you dont need to turn it on.
Muldowney adds that BOXR units all use Danfoss hydraulics. Its a widely
recognized product. Theyre all over the globe, so support is never far away, but
we also offer support for all of our customers, too.
Besides the 10-yard, 1,000-gallon unit on display, BOXR also manufactures
a 15-yard, 1,500-gallon unit; a 20-yard, 2,000-gallon unit; and can do a 5-yard,

500-gallon unit if asked. When someone brings a cab-chassis to the table, we

put in the transfer case, install the pumps, put the unit on, tie it down, hook up
all the hosing and away they go, Muldowney says.
BOXR put out its first prototype ready-to-mount hydroexcavation unit 10
years ago after making the move from a service company to a manufacturer. We
saw the need for us in the supply industry, so we decided to make a go of it,
Muldowney says. We put out the first prototype and it went straight to Utah
and then we did a few more. Then there was a little belly in the market and we
weathered through that and refined our design a little and came on strong again
two years ago.
Muldowney says the Expo was an eye-opener for both him and his father,
Pat. You come to a show like this thinking one thing, and you start thinking of
another, he says. Weve had a lot of interest in a potential roll-off unit, a lot of
interest in a more condensed unit that can fit in a container ship to go overseas
because those are far easier to ship than an exposed unit. Wed love to get in all
those markets. This show has opened our eyes to a number of things.
Muldowney says his familys company plans to exhibit at the show again
in 2015, which will be its first year as the Water & Wastewater Equipment,
Treatment & Transport (WWETT) show in Indianapolis. 877-553-0399;

Record highs expected, regulations being drafted

By Cory Dellenbach
Coal production still down
The U.S. coal production totaled approximately 75.3 million short tons
in February, according to a report released March 27 by the U.S. Energy
Information Administration.
That production estimate is 3.2 percent lower than the production
estimate in the same month in 2013. Coal production east of the Mississippi
River totaled 32.2 mmst, while coal production west of the Mississippi River
totaled 43.0 mmst.
U.S. year-to-date coal production totaled 21.8 mmst, which is 2.4 percent
lower than the comparable year-to-date production in 2013.
Horizontal drilling, fracking helping with oil, gas production
Increased precision and efficiency of horizontal drilling and hydraulic
fracturing in oil and natural gas extraction is leading to an increase of oil and
natural gas well productivity in many basins across the United States.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, many
resource-producing basins are experiencing an increasing yield over time in
either oil or natural gas.
The March productivity report showed that five of the six U.S. shale plays
tracked by the DPR have seen increases in oil and natural gas production
per rig over the past few years. The Eagle Ford Shale is leading in increased
production per rig (463 barrels per day, up from 453 the previous month)
and the Marcellus Shale is leading in increased production of natural gas per
rig (6,476 thousand cubic feet per day, up from 6,402 the previous month).
This trend of increasing rig productivity is one factor helping to increase
the nations oil and natural gas production. The latest Annual Energy Outlook
from the EIA forecasts that U.S. oil production will reach 9.6 million barrels
per day in 2019, and natural gas production will increase by 56 percent
through 2040.
New oilfield waste disposal regulations being drafted
The North Dakota Department of Health is drafting regulations that
will be used to track the generation, storage, transportation and disposal of
Technically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material.
According to the North Dakota Division of Waste Management, there
have been numerous incidents where oilfield waste was not handled properly
in one instance in McKenzie County, hundreds of oil filter socks were
discovered on two trailers, leaking oil and chemicals into the soil.
Currently the state relies on the individual companies to dispose of
contaminated and radioactive waste properly on their own. The TENORM
regulations will be released to the public in June for comment and correction.
Refinery runs to hit record high in 2014
With U.S. refineries expanding their capacity to process more domestic
light oil in the coming years, the U.S. Energy Information Administration
is predicting refinery crude inputs to reach 15.52 million barrels per day
this year and 15.61 million bbl/d in 2015, passing the all-time high of 15.48
million bbl/d, which was hit in 2004.
The surge in domestic production will cause U.S. crude imports to
decline to 25 percent of total liquid fuels consumption, which would be the
lowest level since 1971, according to the EIA.
Weatherford to sell pipeline business to Baker Hughes
Weatherford International Ltd. has agreed to sell its pipeline and
specialty services business to Baker Hughes Inc.
Weatherford will sell to the fellow oilfield services company for $250
million as part of Weatherfords efforts to slim down and focus on its core
businesses. The deal will include $241 million in cash and $9 million in
retained working capital.
Weatherford plans to spin off its fleet of international drilling rigs,
expecting the separation to be completed by the fourth quarter. GOMC

Bakken Extra
HELP WANTED
friendly, Denton says. They want to

make it a place where you can bring your
whole family.
Job centers trying to fill thousands of

positions across the Bakken region
By Cory Dellenbach
housands of jobs are available for

the right candidates in the Bakken
Shale Play. The problem is finding
those candidates and attracting them to
the industry.
The Williston area is growing by
leaps and bounds and employers in almost
every industry need employees, says Cindy
Sanford, a customer service manager for Job
Service North Dakota. There are numerous
jobs or careers for job seekers with all types
of education and skills.
I had a girl walk into the office and within an

hour I had her employed. Thats really how fast
it goes and thats what I do on a daily basis.
Anna Denton
According to Sanford, there were

2,189 jobs posted to her companys website
in January 2014.
Command Center Inc. (Bakken
Staffing) has been helping with the growth
and has also been affected by it, according
to Anna Denton, a business development
specialist for the company based
in Williston.
Were one of the top branches in
the country because of the growth here,
Denton says. Were actually employing
more people in our facility because of the
growth in order for us to keep up with it.
Command Center is a staffing agency
that sends workers out on a daily or weekly
basis for daily pay. Job seekers apply
directly with Command Center and they
get them set up with daily, temp or directhire positions.
46
GOMC
There are endless positions in endless

jobs, says Kyle Tennessen, branch manager
for the Williston Command Center
location. The market is starting to be more
specialized, but its in an early phase.
HOUSING NEEDS
IMPROVEMENT
While the job market is phenomenal,
Denton says the biggest obstacle is getting
the people there to apply for those jobs.
She says additional housing in the Bakken
region will help.
Its been really tough, but Ive noticed
that theres a break in it this year because
we have more housing coming in, Denton
says. Its still really costly, but at least
theres more housing here now and you
dont have to come here and live out of a
travel trailer.
Denton and Tennessen are both
surprised with how much things have
grown, even in their few years in North
Dakota. Denton has been in the state for
two and a half years and Tennessen not
much more than that.
I moved from Milwaukee, have a
marketing degree from UW-Whitewater,
and still could hardly find anything in that
area, Tennessen says. I came out here and
had this position within two days of when I
started looking.
While the housing market is slowly
improving, the communities are becoming
more family friendly as well and thatll
help with filling all those vacancies too,
Denton says.
She noted that Williston has recently
opened a recreation center for families, and
schools are expanding and improving.
Theyre making it more family
CHANGING JOB MARKET

An analysis by Job Services North
Dakota shows that entry-level positions are
becoming scarcer and specialized jobs are
beginning to show up now, but its still an
early phase, according to Sanford.
Entry level positions are harder and
harder to come across. People with no oil
and gas experience will not be needed
hardly at all, Tennessen says. So many
people here will have experience that
theyll slowly stop looking for people with
no experience.
Tennessen says those looking to be
a part of the oil and gas boom had better
make their way to the area fast.
For the most part, if youre not early
20s, high school diploma, strong and look
physically fit, youll most likely be passed
over, unless youre looking for a specific
field like truck driving, where physicals
dont matter.
Denton says that while most people
walking in are looking for those oil industry
jobs, there are other jobs in the area like
stores and offices that need people as well
and it isnt taking long to fill positions.
I had a girl walk into the office and
within an hour I had her employed,
Denton says. Thats really how fast it goes
and thats what I do on a daily basis.
Tennessen agreed with Denton and
noted a few of the jobs that are readily
available in the area thanks to the oil
industry boom, like construction, office and
administration work, and housekeeping.
Some of these you can literally get a
job within moments of applying, they may
not pay well, but there are always positions
available, Tennessen says. Most are now
looking for long-term employees, they are
looking for steady people who want to
stay here. GOMC
Drill Pipe Solutions
For drill pipe cleaning, water jet

systems beat your usual method
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 ush out debris and drilling uids 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 1-877-NLB-7988 today.

On the Money
CUTTING AND SPENDING

You can improve your bottom line by cutting certain expenses,
but sometimes you need to spend more
By Erik Gunn
C
Erik Gunn
utting expenses might seem like a

sign of trouble, but it doesnt have
to be. Even the most profitable
business can benefit from a long, hard look
at how it spends and where it can rein in
expenses.
Thats only one side of the equation,
though. The other side is determining where
you might profitably spend more and the
right decision there can be just as important
to your long-term success.
Of course, each of those choices sooner
or later brings on what I call the Goldilocks
There are key functions or processes in any

business that if eliminated would place the
company in jeopardy of losing market
share or core customers.
Dont use an axe; use a surgical knife.
Ron Hequet
moment: You dont want to spend too

much, and you dont want to spend too
little youve got to figure out what is
just right.
As business consultant, coach and
speaker, Ron Hequet of Weatherford, Texas,
points out, decisions about cutting and
spending are deeply intertwined. Hequet
was one of a number of business experts
who recently offered me their insights on
the twin questions of what to cut and where
to spend more.
Ideally, says Hequet, a cost-cutting plan
should be part of a much bigger picture: A
plan to boost your business to increase
profits or as he puts it, a plan to sell your
way out of a decrease in profitability.
48
GOMC
Even if cutbacks are urgent, you

should still proceed with care. There are
key functions or processes in any business
that if eliminated would place the company
in jeopardy of losing market share or core
customers, says Hequet, whose website is
http://profitandcashstrategist.com. Dont
use an axe; use a surgical knife.
WHERE TO CUT
Anemic promotion: Look closely
at your ad spending, suggests Ken Boyd,
author of Cost Accounting for Dummies and
a St. Louis-based small-business finance
consultant. Where do you get the bulk of
your referrals the Yellow Pages? An online
listing? Industry publications? Focus on the
ones that deliver and cut back on or cut
out entirely those with less oomph for
your operations.
Small businesses either attempt too
many ways to produce sales simultaneously
or go with the hot sales method of the
month, says Hequet. Business owners need
to research what ways work best.
And if you dont know where your
customers come from, ask them! Ask all
first-time callers How did you hear about
us? and collect the answers.
Dave Bakke of the website Money
Crashers (www.moneycrashers.com) points
out that social media Facebook, Twitter
and the like can offer free or inexpensive
opportunities to market your services
that may be as effective as more expensive
traditional advertising channels.
In a related issue, do you belong and
pay dues to a host of business organizations
in which you have little or no involvement?
Drop out, says CPA Thomas Scanlon of
Borgida & Co. in Manchester, Conn.
And Hequet points to another

likely expendable form of promotion:
institutional marketing thats solely
aimed at keeping your name out there
for community support. When a customer
wants to make a purchase, the fact that you
placed an ad in the high school or Little
League program wont be one of the reasons
they choose to do business with you, he
says. Theres nothing wrong, and plenty
right, with supporting your community
but dont consider that part of your
marketing and promotional efforts.
Office supplies: If youre not already
signed up for your office supply retailers
rewards program, youre probably missing
out. Bakke notes that the discounts you get
for accumulated purchases can add up to
important savings.
Vehicle insurance: Check if your
company vehicles are over-insured, says John
ODonnell, chief knowledge officer for Online
Trading Academy. Can you afford a higher
deductible or a lower replacement value? Are
you paying twice for the same coverage like
towing insurance both through your insurer
and through a motorists club?
At the same time, dont overreact: As
CPA Scanlon points out, having too little
insurance is a huge risk you dont want to
take on.
Cellphone insurance: This kind of
insurance, though, is probably expendable
for almost all of us. It seems like such a
small amount $5 to $11 a month tacked
on your cellphone bill but over a two year
period that can add up to $100 or more per
phone. Not only that, but for higher-end
smartphones, you can still have a deductible
of as much as $200 and youre limited
to as few as two claims a year. Instead, see
if you can include your cellphones in your
general business policy. Or set aside money
to replace or repair equipment when it gets
lost, stolen or damaged. At the very least,
research third-party alternatives to your cell
providers insurance; some provide a better
deal at a lower price.
Credit card processing fees: You
have to accept credit cards if you want fast
payment on your invoices, but take time to
research alternative processing providers,
says DeKesha Williams, a business strategist
with Vizions Consulting.
Technology: Williams also suggests looking closely at things like website

fees, your cellphone and office phone service, and fax expenses. Online
presence is mandatory, but low-cost alternatives are proliferating for all of
these. Check them out.
Utilities: When did you last have an energy audit of your office? Bakke
points out that your local power company probably offers that as a free service,
and can help you find ways to cut your bill for heating and electricity.
Customers: Wait, what? Cut customers? Yes within reason. Consider
reducing your service area, especially if outlying regions are less profitable.
The smaller geographical area you cover, the more you save on time and gas,
notes Scanlon, the Connecticut CPA. And while it may seem easier said than
done, ease yourself out of relationships with the pain-in-the-neck clients, he
adds. It frees up time and energy to focus on nice clients.
WHERE TO SPEND
Tools and trucks: In the trades especially, your vehicles and your tools
and equipment are two of your most important assets. Dont overpay, but
dont skimp, either, when making the choice of what to buy or investing in
maintenance and repairs. You need your vehicles and equipment in good
working order, says Boyd, the St. Louis consultant.
Technology: You can make smart choices that will save you money on
tech, but dont try cutting it out entirely tablets, smartphones, networked
computers are all here to stay, and they are part of your business infrastructure,
whether you know it or like it or not, Scanlon points out.
Marketing and service: Dont cut down on your social media, says
Scanlon. This is the way of the world now. Dont cut corners on appearance
and image, either: prospects and existing customers alike buy perception.
And dont skimp on personalized service, he adds: This is what keeps your
customers coming back and makes you referable.
To that, DeKesha Williams adds that you cant simply do without
marketing or advertising of any kind. And make sure customer engagement
finding ways to cement the relationship between your business and the people
whom you serve is part of what youre investing in, she says.
BEYOND CUTTING AND SPENDING
Ultimately, whether cutting costs or spending more, you dont just act
blindly. You need to make informed decisions, based on sound evidence and
rational analysis not just of how you spend your money, but of the service,
product or provider youre spending it on.
And as Ron Hequet points out, any cost-cutting campaign is just an
emergency first step. The key is what comes next: Creating a plan for growth.
Growth without a documented plan and the preparation of the talent to act is
a wish, not a plan, Hequet says.
And if all you have is a wish, in a year or even less, youre likely to be
forced to make more and deeper cuts all over again. And then you might not
even have the chance to decide how you can invest more because the money
to do so just wont be there. GOMC

Bump caps protect workers when
hard hats arent required
By Ed Wodalski
The Skullerz 8950 bump cap and Skullerz 8960 bump cap
with LED lighting from Ergodyne are designed for applications
with overhead hazards that do not require a hard hat.
Popular in Europe and gaining acceptance in the United
States, bump caps are not designed to replace hard hats, says Andy
Olson, senior product manager for Ergodyne. If youre in an application
where your employer requires it or a situation dictates that you need to be
wearing a hard hat, that is absolutely what the worker should be wearing,
he says, explaining that hard hats are designed to protect against objectgenerated impact, while bump caps are designed to protect against workergenerated impact.
If something can fall on your head and cause an injury thats a hard
hat application, Olson says. However, if the risk is the worker making
contact with something overhead, its just that a bump. For these types
of lower category but still dangerous risks, a bump cap is an effective tool
in reducing head injuries.
Olson says the common complaint about bump caps is theyre
uncomfortable they dont fit well, theyre hot and they dont look great.
Keeping those concerns in mind, Ergodyne set out to create a
protective cap that was comfortable and cool. An angled rear closure
(that fits right under the protruding bump on the back of most heads)
helps secure the cap, while strategically placed ventilation provides
airflow through the impact-resistant ABS plastic shell and washable nylon
fabric cover.
Available in short brim or baseball-style long brim in black and navy,
the caps can be embroidered with a companys logo.
1.
We take a lot of pride in our design,

creating products that workers want
to wear, and this cap is no exception,
Olson says. We try to give workers
flexibility, so not only is it protective,
they look nice. And if workers look nice,
theyre more inclined to wear it.
Both the 8950 and 8960 with
LED lighting in the brim (powered by
four replaceable lithium batteries) are
designed to meet EN 812:2012 safety
standards. The LED caps have a bulb life
of approximately 100,000 hours and are
available with two brim lights for up to
50 feet of illumination, two lights under
the brim for close-up tasks or four lights
for maximum visibility. 800/225-8238;

Safety First
IT TAKES ALL OF US
National safety month focuses on continuous
risk reduction across industries
By Doug Day
afety: It takes all of us is

the theme of 2014s National
Safety Month. This year, the
National Safety Council is promoting the
key safety pillar of involving everyone
in identifying and reporting hazards in
the workplace.
than all illegal drugs. Many users of

pharmaceuticals do not confine their use
to inside their homes or only during their
non-work hours, leading to increased
risk of impairment while driving or
in the workplace, says the NSC in a
white paper.
Many users of pharmaceuticals do not confine their use to inside their

homes or only during their non-work hours, leading to increased
risk of impairment while driving or in the workplace.
National Safety Council
NSC has also selected five weekly
topics employers can use to build
safety awareness:
Week 1 - Prevent prescription drug abuse
NSC cites statistics of the Centers
for Disease Control showing that more
than 15,000 people die every year from
overdoses of prescription medicines;
pain relievers contribute to more deaths
NSC suggests these actions for

employers to help reduce the risk of
prescription abuse on the job:
Educate employees.
Expand use of drug testing to
include prescription drugs.
Modify health insurance policies
and agreements that may contribute
to over-prescribing.
Develop new processes to monitor
use and misuse of drugs
involved
in
workers
compensation claims.

Week 2 Stop slips, trips

and falls
A focus on slips, trips
and falls is no surprise since
that category is one of the
leading causes of injury in
the workplace, accounting
for one in every six lost-time
injuries and 15 percent of
accidental deaths, according
to OSHA.
Week 3 Be aware of your surroundings

Situational awareness is part of
hazard identification that is covered by
various OSHA regulations, including a
general safety provision that states, It
shall be the responsibility of the employer
to provide for frequent and regular
inspections of the job site, materials,
and equipment by competent persons
and requires employee training in the
recognition, avoidance and prevention of
unsafe conditions.
Week 4 Put an end to distracted driving
Distracted driving has been a
growing safety concern as companies
try to balance safety with the increased
productivity available through technology.
OSHA has encouraged employers to ban
texting while driving, and many states
have already done so. The Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration has banned
both texting and hand-held cellphone use
for commercial truck drivers since 2010
and 2011.
Week 5 Summer safety (overexertion/
heat stress)
OSHA began its Heat Illness
Prevention Campaign in 2011 to educate
people about the dangers of working
in summer heat. Thousands of workers
are sickened every year from heat; 60
workers died in 2011, according to OSHA.
Water, rest and shade are key to safety
in hot weather, it says, and offers these
recommendations:
Drink water every 15 minutes, even
if youre not thirsty.
Rest in the shade to cool down.
Wear a hat and light-colored
clothing.
Learn the signs of heat illness and
what to do in an emergency.
Keep an eye on fellow workers.
There is a good month of safety topics.
Safety agencies such as OSHA and NSC
offer plenty of information online you can
use to plan safety meetings and tailboards.
Take advantage of them, and make your
workplace safer. GOMC

We think you should be able to depend on us! That is why we sell
the most dependable vacuum pumps, parts, valves and tank
