he 2016 Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show has arrived, and
it’s a show that will amaze you from the moment you walk through the doors.
You’ll have more educational opportunities than you could imagine, and you’ll see the newest equipment from manufacturers you know — and some you may not.
The show opens Wednesday, Feb. 17, with Education Day. It’s a great opportunity to hear from industry professionals on subjects from hydroexcavation to confined-space training and more. Courses begin at 8 a.m. and continue all day. Education seminars continue on Thursday and Friday.
The show floor opens on Feb. 18 with more than 600 companies exhibiting in more than 560,000 square feet of space at the Indiana Convention Center in downtown Indianapolis. This is where you can see the newest equipment available and talk to the manufacturers.
CONNECTING WITH MEIf you’re in Indianapolis now (Feb.
17-20) and headed over to the Indiana Convention Center for the WWETT Show, I want to hear from you.
You can call at 800/257-7222 or email me at [email protected].
There’s also a new and exciting way for us to get together and talk about the industry: The WWETT Show Kickoff Party at Lucas Oil Stadium, on Wednesday, Feb. 17, and Thursday, Feb. 18, from 5-8 p.m. It’s another way for attendees and exhibitors to network. Cold beverages and snacks will be served around the popular COLE Pub truck, and exhibitor sponsors will have displays to check out.
IDEAS TO TALK ABOUTI’ll be on hand at the kickoff event
both nights and look forward to chatting with you, but what do you want to talk about? Here are some ideas:
Surviving the downturn in the industry — It’s being felt everywhere, but tell me how your company is making it through this downturn in the oil and gas industry. What ideas do you have for other companies? What has been the key to success for you?
Finding the right employee — We all know it can be tough to find that perfect person. How are you doing it? Are you using ads in the local paper or on radio? Or maybe word-of-mouth? Let’s talk about ideas.
New equipment additions — Are you scoping out some new equipment for your company? What are you looking for and why do you want that equipment? How will it help your company?
YOUR TURN NOW
Now the ball is in your court. Hearing from you will help make this magazine better by helping me understand what you want. Even if you’re not going to the show this year, I’d still like to hear from you and get your thoughts on these talking points.
Enjoy this issue! GOMC

AVOID DISASTER
Trench Safety TipsDespite being easily prevented, cave-ins during trenching and exca-vation work continue to occur, killing an average of 40 workers every year. If you have a trained “competent person” on site there shouldn’t be trenching accidents.

When Greg Cook and his wife, Megan, founded Mustang Oilfield Services in August
2013, it was a homecoming of sorts for Greg, who grew up in St. Clairsville, Ohio — a
small town with a population just over 5,000.
Located at the core of the shale oil and gas industry, Mustang Oilfield Services is
a logistics supply business that supports companies drilling shale oil and gas wells in
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, generally within a 100-mile radius of its terminal.
Mustang Oilfield Services owners get creative with their business model, hauling both water and equipment to customers in the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays

transferring from one site to another. It reduces truck traffic and reduces the amount of freshwater that’s needed, which ultimately saves on costs and allows these companies to be better environmental stewards.
Typically, Mustang Oilfield Services is not the only vendor hauling water at any given site. Its 10 or 15 trucks often work in tandem with another 20 to 100 additional vehicles, depending on the specifics of the project at hand. They generally haul about 5 to 7 million gallons per well depending on how the operator has decided to handle the job. Each of their trucks can carry on average 4,500 to 5,000 gallons, so it amounts to plenty of loads and plenty of travel.
What they’re seeing a lot of right now, Greg explains, are multi-pad setups with anywhere from six to 10 wells on a pad. In these cases the water totals are significantly higher, reaching levels of roughly 30 to 70 million gallons in total.
RANGE OF SERVICESThe company’s offerings don’t stop at water, however. Mustang
Oilfield Services also offers flatbed trucking, hotshot services and winch truck services — hauling equipment, rig mats, containment fixtures, frac tanks, pumps, drill rigs and super sacks of pellets and wood chips for other companies that contract with them. This can take place at any stage of the game, from the very early phases of pad construction through drilling, and even up to completion of the well.
While most companies haul one or the other — water or equipment — Greg says their business model is a bit unique by design. It stemmed from the realization early on that there was a need to be varied in both customers and equipment in order to level out some of the ups and downs of the water truck business.

the flatbeds. “It seems to have worked out well for us,” he adds. While Mustang Oilfield Services mainly assists E&P
companies, the other oilfield service companies that need assistance hauling their equipment make up a huge customer base as well. Less frequently, the company also steps in to help those who need water delivered so that another contractor can test the pipelines, and occasionally they’re called in for hydroseeding and soil stabilization, too.
GROWTH DESPITE DOWNTURN
Now into its third year of operation, Mustang Oilfield Services is still a fledgling company that has had to deal with the growing pains bound to accompany tremendous expansion during a short period of time. What initially began as a staff of 12 and a fleet of four water trucks has blossomed into a staff of over 70 and 20 water trucks.
“We have had much more growth this year as a company than we did last year, and I think that is a testament to the team that we have here, from our drivers up to our management,” Greg says, noting that it’s been a difficult year for the industry as a whole. Although the downturn in crude oil prices hasn’t impacted the company to a large extent since the region doesn’t produce much of it, he explains, natural gas isn’t doing a whole lot better. In turn, the company has been careful to re-evaluate its operations and make improvements whenever possible in order to watch costs and run lean.
Results of this process include the addition of a supervisor or manager in the field 24 hours a day, the opening of a satellite location in Bentleyville, Pennsylvania, in order to provide better

service to customers in that region, and the inception of their own in-house garage with four mechanics and one shop technician, which now operates 24/7 and minimizes downtime.
“Everybody has sort of bought in and understood that this is going to be a tough year and that everybody needs to do a little bit of everything,” Greg says. “We’ll come out the other side stronger by making it through this downturn right now.”
Although this husband-and-wife duo are new to the industry, they have plenty of team members who’ve seen it all. “This is not their first rodeo,” says Megan, director of marketing. “This is not their first downturn. Their comments are, ‘We made it out of the last one, and we’ll make it out of this one.’” As long as the company remains proactive and listens to what customers need and want, she adds, Mustang Oilfield Services will continue to be an asset and will continue to work with its customers to accomplish projects.
PARTNERING WITH VENDORS
The company’s fleet consists of 41 vehicles total, including 20 water trucks (Mack, Volvo, Kenworth, Peterbilt, and International); six tractors, five of
As Mustang Oilfield Services began replacing its older trucks with newer vehicles, the decision was made to install larger tanks on them as well. Their four newer, larger water trucks — all Internationals — carry 130 barrels, a significant step up from their 110-barrel capacity. “We actually got them used, which was a big score for us,” says Greg Cook, owner and CEO.
The trucks are 40 feet long and have seven axles. They’re straight trucks, which allows them to maneuver easier on the access roads and on the well pads. This is important, Greg explains, because well pads are built to the smallest dimensions possible in order to keep costs down. In fact, the company’s drivers travel to plenty of sites where tractor-trailer water trucks aren’t even allowed. Thankfully, the Internationals haul as much water as the tractor-trailers, which is what makes them both interesting and productive.
“They are just really large, impressive-looking trucks,” Greg says. “It’s a truck that stands out in the crowd, and it’s a truck that looks good, and it’s a truck that really makes me proud to see our name on the side of the door. They get talked about a lot on location and over the CB by drivers with other companies.”

which are winch trucks (Mack, Peterbilt, Western Star, and Kenworth); a variety of standard and oilfield flatbeds (GMC, ITI Trailers & Truck Bodies, Doonan, and Holden); a lowboy trailer that goes behind their tractors (Talbert Manufacturing); several hotshot pickup trucks (Ford and Dodge);
and a gooseneck trailer (PJ Gooseneck). Rounding out the equipment lineup is a vacuum trailer (Dragon Products), a roll-off truck (International), a utility trailer (Car Mate) and a couple of SUVs (Chevrolet and Ford).
“In our business we sell time,” Greg says. “Our time comes along with a truck, but
an hour of downtime is an hour we’ll never get back as revenue. So we’ve had to find vendors we can partner with that run some of the same hours that we do and stock the parts that we need so that when we do have a truck go down, we can quickly get the part, quickly get it fixed and quickly get it back on the road.”
Because the company has a very diverse fleet when it comes to OEMs, it’s not practical to stock their own parts, so they rely on trucking vendors
like Wheeling Truck Center and Hunter Peterbilt, body tank manufacturer ITI Trailers & Truck Bodies, and Ziegler Tire, which offers 24-hour roadside service — a particularly helpful offering for a company that runs trucks off-road and damages tires at all hours of the day and night.
Although they deal with a lot of truck-related vendors, another key partner, the Cooks note, has been safety contractor Nathan Ray with Top Hand Training. “He has been such an asset to us to be able to bring in a fresh face and keep us compliant with all of our customers,” Megan says.

what the industry norm was three or four years ago. “By doing that we can deliver 20 percent more per truck,” Greg says, “which over time means fewer trucks on the road, fewer trucks driving by people’s houses, and being able to accomplish the jobs faster.”
After all, the process of striving to find ways to improve upon current methods and practices is part of what the Cooks seem to enjoy about their line of work. “The industry as a whole excites me,” Greg says. “It’s a very, very fascinating industry to be a part of. It changes every day. There are challenges every day.”

And in his view, continuing to solve the issues posed by customers will only lead to added business expansion and success. “I see us having additional growth over the next few years, which is exciting,” Greg predicts. GOMC

f you’ve ever taken a marketing class or attended a marketing seminar, the speakers always talk about branding.
They say: “You have to have a brand”; “You need to brand yourself”; “Branding is your key to success.”
But what they don’t tell you is how much it costs to actually create a recog-nizable brand. For small businesses, tra-ditional branding is simply too expensive. Experts say that it takes repeated exposure to your brand over a long period of time
for someone to actually remember it. What small business has the money to pay for that type of advertising? Very few. So tra-ditional branding is out of the question for most small businesses.
But that does not mean that you can’t brand your small company.
TRY MICROBRANDING
I’d like to introduce you to a concept that I call “microbranding.” Microbranding is the art and science of branding your business to a specific group of people so you are always on the top of their mind. For instance, let’s say that you sell photocopy machines. You’ve determined that law offices are your best target market. So you do some research and find the top 250 law offices in Houston, where you live. You do
more research and find the names of the decision-makers for those 250 law offices.
Or maybe your company rents portable restrooms, and you determine that your best target market is construction contractors. You do the research, find the top 50 construction companies in your area, and get the names of their decision-makers.
Now you have a targeted group of people to which you can microbrand your company and your product or service. So
you devise a multi-step marketing program to reach out and get in front of those 250 decision-makers. And you also devise a plan to stay in touch after you reach out to those 250 people in case they want to do business with you.
That’s microbranding! Any small business can microbrand itself.
THE 10-STEP PLAN
OK, so here’s a sample of what I’m talking about. Using the law office example, here’s what I would do:
Step 1: Create a “value proposition” by dollarizing the amount of savings that my copier can achieve for a law office.
Step 2: Create a two-page special report about my proposition and call it, “Why You’re Losing 23 Cents Right Now
for Every Copy You Produce in Your Law Office (and How to Fix That Problem Immediately).”
Step 3: I would also create a few letters, cards and online videos, and collect any newspaper clippings, magazine articles and positive news stories I could find about my copier.
Step 4: My next step would be to create an irresistible offer for a “paper cost reduction audit.” Note: Now that I have my value proposition, marketing materials and my irresistible offer in place, it’s time to start reaching out to the 250 decision-makers.
Step 5: I would start calling the de-cision-makers one by one, introduce my-self, and ask them if I could send them a special report.
Step 6: For those that I simply could not get ahold of, I would email them to ask if I could send them my special report.
Step 7: I would next send them cards and letters offering my special report. Ba-sically, I would do everything I could to get the special report in their hands as a first step.
Step 8: Once they have the special re-port, I would start following up with them religiously by phone, email and direct mail asking for an appointment to do a “paper cost reduction audit.”
Step 9: After I have talked to them, sent them the report and followed up with them, I would put them on a monthly “tes-timonial card” campaign. A testimonial card is a greeting card or postcard with the photo of a loyal customer and a paragraph about how they have benefited from your product or service in their own words. The card also gives your irresistible offer. (Al-ways give your irresistible offer. Always!)
Step 10: Continue to follow up with the decision-makers via email, phone and cards. You never know when they will have a change of heart or circumstances and need your service. GOMC

For small businesses, traditional branding is simply too expensive. Experts say that it takes repeated exposure to your brand over a long period of time for someone to actually remember it. What small business has the money to pay for that type of advertising?

f you’ve ever taken a marketing class or attended a marketing seminar, the speakers always talk about branding.
They say: “You have to have a brand”; “You need to brand yourself”; “Branding is your key to success.”
But what they don’t tell you is how much it costs to actually create a recog-nizable brand. For small businesses, tra-ditional branding is simply too expensive. Experts say that it takes repeated exposure to your brand over a long period of time
for someone to actually remember it. What small business has the money to pay for that type of advertising? Very few. So tra-ditional branding is out of the question for most small businesses.
But that does not mean that you can’t brand your small company.
TRY MICROBRANDING
I’d like to introduce you to a concept that I call “microbranding.” Microbranding is the art and science of branding your business to a specific group of people so you are always on the top of their mind. For instance, let’s say that you sell photocopy machines. You’ve determined that law offices are your best target market. So you do some research and find the top 250 law offices in Houston, where you live. You do
more research and find the names of the decision-makers for those 250 law offices.
Or maybe your company rents portable restrooms, and you determine that your best target market is construction contractors. You do the research, find the top 50 construction companies in your area, and get the names of their decision-makers.
Now you have a targeted group of people to which you can microbrand your company and your product or service. So
you devise a multi-step marketing program to reach out and get in front of those 250 decision-makers. And you also devise a plan to stay in touch after you reach out to those 250 people in case they want to do business with you.
That’s microbranding! Any small business can microbrand itself.
THE 10-STEP PLAN
OK, so here’s a sample of what I’m talking about. Using the law office example, here’s what I would do:
Step 1: Create a “value proposition” by dollarizing the amount of savings that my copier can achieve for a law office.
Step 2: Create a two-page special report about my proposition and call it, “Why You’re Losing 23 Cents Right Now
for Every Copy You Produce in Your Law Office (and How to Fix That Problem Immediately).”
Step 3: I would also create a few letters, cards and online videos, and collect any newspaper clippings, magazine articles and positive news stories I could find about my copier.
Step 4: My next step would be to create an irresistible offer for a “paper cost reduction audit.” Note: Now that I have my value proposition, marketing materials and my irresistible offer in place, it’s time to start reaching out to the 250 decision-makers.
Step 5: I would start calling the de-cision-makers one by one, introduce my-self, and ask them if I could send them a special report.
Step 6: For those that I simply could not get ahold of, I would email them to ask if I could send them my special report.
Step 7: I would next send them cards and letters offering my special report. Ba-sically, I would do everything I could to get the special report in their hands as a first step.
Step 8: Once they have the special re-port, I would start following up with them religiously by phone, email and direct mail asking for an appointment to do a “paper cost reduction audit.”
Step 9: After I have talked to them, sent them the report and followed up with them, I would put them on a monthly “tes-timonial card” campaign. A testimonial card is a greeting card or postcard with the photo of a loyal customer and a paragraph about how they have benefited from your product or service in their own words. The card also gives your irresistible offer. (Al-ways give your irresistible offer. Always!)
Step 10: Continue to follow up with the decision-makers via email, phone and cards. You never know when they will have a change of heart or circumstances and need your service. GOMC

CLIMBING UP AND DOWN ON A TRUCK BED FULL OF PIPE CAN BE DANGEROUS. YET WHEN NEW PIPELINES ARE INSTALLED, A WORKER OFTEN HAS TO CLIMB TO THE TOP PIPE AND WRAP A STRAP OR CHAIN AROUND IT WHILE ANOTHER WORKER DOES THE SAME AT THE OTHER END.
“Some type of cables or straps and chains have been the most common things contractors have used when lifting pipes,” says Randy Hayes, corporate sales director for Vacuworx International. “That was until the vacuum lifting application became available.”
Vacuworx, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, manufactures material handling equipment that uses a vacuum seal to lift pipes of all sizes and materials, such as concrete, steel, ductile iron, plastic, fiberglass and PVC.
The Vacuworx pipe handling systems have been used to stockpile and load rail cars, handle pipe without endangering personnel in close quarters at in-plant
operations, fit concrete and cast iron pipe together in a ditch, and move heavy construction materials into staging areas.
“We’ve seen a lot of people in the oil and gas industry now requiring contractors to use vacuum lifting just because it’s so much safer and faster,” Hayes says. “It requires less personnel. One guy can load, unload or string
pipe by himself without having to climb on pipes and trucks and stand under the pipe.”
LIFTING EQUIPMENT
The vacuum lifting equipment from Vacuworx can be attached to a wide range of equipment, including excavators, backhoes, loaders, cranes, forklifts and more. The company has six models on the market that can lift objects in various dimensions weighing 6,600 to 44,000 pounds.
“The most common equipment to attach it to is an excavator, and we can attach it to any brand,” Hayes
Technology allows pipes to be lifted using vacuum power instead of chains and straps, making it safer for workers

“It requires less personnel. One guy can load, unload or string pipe by himself without having to climb on pipes and trucks and
stand under the pipe.”Randy Hayes
A pipe-lifting system from Vacuworx is demonstrated at the ICUEE Show in October. The unit can attach to any excavator and is capable of lifting pipe from 6,600 to 44,000 pounds by use of a vacuum. It can also rotate the pipe 360 degrees. (Photography by Cory Dellenbach)
(continued)
says. “Until recently, the majority of our vacuum lifters have used a diesel engine to drive the vacuum pump to create the vacuum on whatever object the operator was trying to lift.”
The latest series of vacuum lifters are hydraulically driven. The vacuum pump is powered by the hydraulics of the excavator. “It eliminates the noise generated by the diesel engine and eliminates fuel requirements, as well as any maintenance requirements for the engine. This has also allowed us to reduce the overall weight of the vacuum lifter,” Hayes says.
Vacuworx lifting systems feature a hydraulic rotator that allows for 360 degree rotation and is fully self-contained. Vacuum pads can be easily changed in a matter of minutes to allow the end user to adapt from one pipe size to another. The unit is operated by wireless remote, but Vacuworx also provides an emergency hardwired kit in case the wireless remote becomes damaged or cannot be used for any reason.
“The system pulls a vacuum between the pad and the object to be lifted, providing a powerful, positive seal,” says Paula Bell, marketing manager.
The lifting system can operate in weather conditions from snow to extreme heat. “We have proven the use of the technology in all conditions,” Bell says. “Our vacuum lifters can even lift pipe in unclean conditions and on somewhat uneven surfaces.”
Vacuum lifting technology doesn’t damage materials or bonded coatings and eliminates the need for cribbing and spacers for pipe. Using the lifting system can eliminate costly repairs that occur when handling pipe by other methods such as straps or chains.
CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY
One of the biggest changes in the pipe lifting technology has been the addition of wireless remote operation.
“The systems are operated by wireless remote control from the cab of the host machine,” Bell says. “Because it is operated from the cab, and because the operator has such precise control over the movement of the load, there is no need to have people on the ground in harm’s way.”
The company has also developed lifting tools for plates, slabs, concrete barriers and horizontal directional drill stems.
“Oil and gas has been the primary market for us the last several years,” Hayes says. “Now we’ve
started to move into other markets since we can handle a wide variety of pipes and other materials. We’re getting into water and sewer rehab work, mining, road and bridge construction applications, as well with the plate and slab lifting applications.”
Vacuworx is confident that its equipment is helping make heavy-duty material handling safer. “Owners and workers are looking for safer and more efficient material handling solutions in all industries,” Hayes says. GOMC

hawn Kessel hears the same story from businesses throughout Dickinson, North Dakota —
whether it’s a small coffee shop across from the county courthouse or companies directly involved in the oil industry — low oil prices have created a more challenging economic environment.
“Everyone is feeling it in their tills,” says Kessel, administrator for the City of Dickinson. “Overall, however, Dickinson is fortunate since we have a diverse econ-omy. I know several manufacturers look-ing to add workers. As the oil industry has slowed down, we’re seeing others pick up. These companies may not pay as much as the oil ones, but they are still good wages.”
Throughout the Bakken region, the scene is played out again and again — lower oil prices mean the oil companies are cutting back, sending shockwaves through communities that have thrived in recent years due to the fracking boom. The number of oil rigs in North Dakota is at its lowest number in six years, with the De-partment of Mineral Resources estimating that every rig equals 40 direct jobs and 80 indirect jobs.
Although businesses — and residents who have lost their jobs due to oil indus-try layoffs — are hurting, there isn’t much
local communities and economic develop-ment organizations can do beyond lend-ing a listening ear and utilizing programs already in place to help with job creation.
“There’s no doubt we’re feeling the pain and would love to have some of those (oil) jobs back,” Kessel says. “Our econ-omy is down, but not as much as some other areas.”
In Williston, which has been named the fastest-growing micropolitan area in the nation for four years in a row, the industry slowdown is giving leaders a chance to take stock and plan for what’s next. In 2014, the city’s population grew by 8.7 percent.
“We see ourselves going from boom mode to business mode,” says Shawn Wenko, executive director for the Willis-ton Economic Development Department. “This is giving us a chance to catch our breath and get ready for future growth. The industry will come back, and when it does we’ll be in a better position. There’s still a lot of (oil industry) business being done.”
That doesn’t mean that businesses haven’t felt the effects of less money com-ing in, Wenko says.
“There’s definitely a ripple effect and we’re seeing some slowness, but it’s not a drastic slowdown as some people think,” he says. “We have a lot of catch-up work to get where we need to be when the industry bounces back.”
Williston is working with consultants to build up its retail and restaurant base, and those businesses are getting more competitive with different offers to lure in customers, but “they’re still busy. It’s just natural market competitiveness,” says Wenko, adding the community has
programs in place to encourage business development. “We have a very pro-business community where both new and existing businesses can thrive.”
Like Williston, Dickinson saw mas-sive growth during the oil boom.
“Before we had three or four coffee shops, now we have 12. We went from eight hotels to 17,” Kessel says. “It’s not necessarily just a decline in spending, but also what once had to be divided four ways, for example, now needs to be divided 12 ways.”
Although Kessel says area businesses are feeling the pain, there’s not too much local community leaders can do. He says local officials have kept an eye on job num-bers and watched how more and more jobs were based on the oil industry.
“If it gets too high, you get nervous because if something like this happens, the whole community is hurt,” Kessel says. “We’ve been fortunate to be more diverse. That has helped us in the downturn.”
Despite the less-than-positive news from the oil sector, Wenko remains opti-mistic for Williston’s future. “We’re still growing and looking forward to settling into a long-term growth pattern,” he says. GOMC

hen Reegan McCullough took over as executive director of the Oil Sands Community
Alliance (OSCA) in March 2014, the oil industry was booming. He was kept busy with projects to aid the communities and companies entrenched in the Athabasca oilsands in Alberta, Canada.
These days, McCullough and the young organization are facing different challenges during the industry slowdown. However, OSCA, which was created in summer 2013, is making strides in an effort to be a positive industry difference-maker.
“The idea is to help the producing companies organize and look for ways to work together to manage any sort of socio-economic challenge arising from development in the oilsands area,” McCullough says.
OSCA, which is a member-funded organization, operates with about 25 area industry members whose work encompasses a large area within Alberta. The majority of the alliance’s work is done in the regional municipality of Wood Buffalo where Fort McMurray is located.
OSCA’s boundary to the south stretches to Lac La Biche County and to the west in the Wabasca-Desmarais area.
JOINING TOGETHER
The alliance discovered that by combining its efforts and expertise, the group is better able to navigate uncertainty and push for tangible solutions to the complex challenges that have emerged over time.
“A couple years ago, the oilsands companies got together and did a current state of what kind of challenges there are and then looked at a future state,” McCullough says. “The future state had a lot to do with what they could accomplish if they worked together.”
McCullough feels like in the two short years OSCA has been in existence it has made an impact.
“I definitely think we’re making progress,” McCullough says. “And there’s no question the speed at which the price of oil plunged and the impact that it’s had. It certainly requires that we be very nimble and flexible in terms of refocusing our priorities.”
FOUR CORE AREAS
OSCA, which tries to be more proactive than reactive, represents a commitment to maximizing benefits in the communities where they operate through collaborative action in four core areas: infrastructure, community well-being, aboriginal community relations, and workforce.
Infrastructure includes all roads, bridges, air drones, camps and what OSCA dubs co-generations.
“The scale and scope of these things are quite extensive,” McCullough says. “The amount of roads and bridges alone would be in double digits of billions of dollars in terms of future expansion, etc.”
For community well-being, OSCA focuses on what the communities need to be able to attract and retain skilled workers, their families and associated businesses.
“So we look at things like, what are the health services in the community, the educational services, both K-12 as well as post-secondary,” McCullough says. “We would also look at what are the needs of the municipality. Depending on the times over the years when there’s been rapid growth, there’s obviously more pressure on those communities to develop the infrastructure that they need.”
Another core area OSCA deals with is aboriginal community relations. McCullough says each company has an arrangement with aboriginal groups

BUILDING AN ALLIANCE FOR THE INDUSTRYOilsands-producing companies form group to share resources and find solutions to challenges in the industry
By Greg Bates

Reegan McCullough, executive director of the Oil Sands Community Alliance (OSCA)
and First Nations, and OSCA is helping bridge the gap between the parties involved.
“We focus on ways the companies can work together, and more specifically how that relates to employment, business development, education skills and training development,” McCullough says. “Of course, working with the aboriginal communities, it’s very critical to us that they determine the right direction, the right time. But we want to be there to work alongside and support them to be as successful as they can be.”
The final area of importance for OSCA is workforce. Since McCullough has been the executive director of the organization, the price of oil has changed dramatically thus the demand for skilled workers has tailed off.
“We started some initiatives, but we’ve since put them on hold pending a more favorable economic climate,” McCullough says. “At the same time, we’re doing a lot of work with the municipalities and the province to help define what the production levels are forecast to be, and from that what employment requirements will be, whether it would be for construction, maintenance or operations. From there, we’re forecasting what the population growth will be.”
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
McCullough says the most important area OSCA deals with is working on relationships.
“That comes through our engagement process,” McCullough says. “There is no magic bullet. Any kind of relationship takes discussions early and often and in a real and meaningful kind of way. That truly is a big part of what we do.”
Within OSCA, there are a number of committees and subcommittees. There are well over 200 representatives from member companies who are experts in their given subject matter. The committees meet on a regular basis to address the ever-changing industry.
“We look at what the issues are, prioritize them and then look at ways we can manage them,” McCullough says. “In most of those cases, it would require some kind of a partnership arrangement.”
PLAN FOR THE FUTURE
OSCA is constantly working on new projects. One major project it was involved with in 2015 was twinning of road that leads up to the Fort McMurray area, which was slated to be finished early this year.
“There’s no question when it was still a two-lane road and major loads were being moved up into that area, the safety on the road had its challenges. And, of course, people would speak out,” McCullough says. “Now that we’re close to finishing, people are pleased with that. But there’s other road structures that may not be quite to the same extent, but we want to bring them to appropriate safety standards for the volumes of traffic.”
Since the oil production slowdown, OSCA has had time to start looking into what to do with some of the extra capacity there is in camps.

OSCA dissects that report and looks at the current transportation networks to try and sort out where they can improve commuting distances and issues related to that.
“We have an opportunity now given the current market to take a bit of a breather and a reset in terms of what are in fact the priorities today versus what they were two years ago,” McCullough says. “It’s amazing how much has changed in that regard.

hen Reegan McCullough took over as executive director of the Oil Sands Community
Alliance (OSCA) in March 2014, the oil industry was booming. He was kept busy with projects to aid the communities and companies entrenched in the Athabasca oilsands in Alberta, Canada.
These days, McCullough and the young organization are facing different challenges during the industry slowdown. However, OSCA, which was created in summer 2013, is making strides in an effort to be a positive industry difference-maker.
“The idea is to help the producing companies organize and look for ways to work together to manage any sort of socio-economic challenge arising from development in the oilsands area,” McCullough says.
OSCA, which is a member-funded organization, operates with about 25 area industry members whose work encompasses a large area within Alberta. The majority of the alliance’s work is done in the regional municipality of Wood Buffalo where Fort McMurray is located.
OSCA’s boundary to the south stretches to Lac La Biche County and to the west in the Wabasca-Desmarais area.
JOINING TOGETHER
The alliance discovered that by combining its efforts and expertise, the group is better able to navigate uncertainty and push for tangible solutions to the complex challenges that have emerged over time.
“A couple years ago, the oilsands companies got together and did a current state of what kind of challenges there are and then looked at a future state,” McCullough says. “The future state had a lot to do with what they could accomplish if they worked together.”
McCullough feels like in the two short years OSCA has been in existence it has made an impact.
“I definitely think we’re making progress,” McCullough says. “And there’s no question the speed at which the price of oil plunged and the impact that it’s had. It certainly requires that we be very nimble and flexible in terms of refocusing our priorities.”
FOUR CORE AREAS
OSCA, which tries to be more proactive than reactive, represents a commitment to maximizing benefits in the communities where they operate through collaborative action in four core areas: infrastructure, community well-being, aboriginal community relations, and workforce.
Infrastructure includes all roads, bridges, air drones, camps and what OSCA dubs co-generations.
“The scale and scope of these things are quite extensive,” McCullough says. “The amount of roads and bridges alone would be in double digits of billions of dollars in terms of future expansion, etc.”
For community well-being, OSCA focuses on what the communities need to be able to attract and retain skilled workers, their families and associated businesses.
“So we look at things like, what are the health services in the community, the educational services, both K-12 as well as post-secondary,” McCullough says. “We would also look at what are the needs of the municipality. Depending on the times over the years when there’s been rapid growth, there’s obviously more pressure on those communities to develop the infrastructure that they need.”
Another core area OSCA deals with is aboriginal community relations. McCullough says each company has an arrangement with aboriginal groups

BUILDING AN ALLIANCE FOR THE INDUSTRYOilsands-producing companies form group to share resources and find solutions to challenges in the industry
By Greg Bates
W
Reegan McCullough, executive director of the Oil Sands Community Alliance (OSCA)
and First Nations, and OSCA is helping bridge the gap between the parties involved.
“We focus on ways the companies can work together, and more specifically how that relates to employment, business development, education skills and training development,” McCullough says. “Of course, working with the aboriginal communities, it’s very critical to us that they determine the right direction, the right time. But we want to be there to work alongside and support them to be as successful as they can be.”
The final area of importance for OSCA is workforce. Since McCullough has been the executive director of the organization, the price of oil has changed dramatically thus the demand for skilled workers has tailed off.
“We started some initiatives, but we’ve since put them on hold pending a more favorable economic climate,” McCullough says. “At the same time, we’re doing a lot of work with the municipalities and the province to help define what the production levels are forecast to be, and from that what employment requirements will be, whether it would be for construction, maintenance or operations. From there, we’re forecasting what the population growth will be.”
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
McCullough says the most important area OSCA deals with is working on relationships.
“That comes through our engagement process,” McCullough says. “There is no magic bullet. Any kind of relationship takes discussions early and often and in a real and meaningful kind of way. That truly is a big part of what we do.”
Within OSCA, there are a number of committees and subcommittees. There are well over 200 representatives from member companies who are experts in their given subject matter. The committees meet on a regular basis to address the ever-changing industry.
“We look at what the issues are, prioritize them and then look at ways we can manage them,” McCullough says. “In most of those cases, it would require some kind of a partnership arrangement.”
PLAN FOR THE FUTURE
OSCA is constantly working on new projects. One major project it was involved with in 2015 was twinning of road that leads up to the Fort McMurray area, which was slated to be finished early this year.
“There’s no question when it was still a two-lane road and major loads were being moved up into that area, the safety on the road had its challenges. And, of course, people would speak out,” McCullough says. “Now that we’re close to finishing, people are pleased with that. But there’s other road structures that may not be quite to the same extent, but we want to bring them to appropriate safety standards for the volumes of traffic.”
Since the oil production slowdown, OSCA has had time to start looking into what to do with some of the extra capacity there is in camps.
Another area OSCA is concentrating on relates to the growth forecast. Annually, a report is released detailing projections on growth over the next 20 years. OSCA dissects that report and looks at the current transportation networks to try and sort out where they can improve commuting distances and issues related to that.
“We have an opportunity now given the current market to take a bit of a breather and a reset in terms of what are in fact the priorities today versus what they were two years ago,” McCullough says. “It’s amazing how much has changed in that regard. You’ve got to be flexible and nimble to be able to change with the times.”

t doesn’t matter if you’re a country music fan. Jerrod Niemann is going to draw you in when he hits the Industry Appreciation Party stage Feb. 19.
“You have to be aware of what you’re around,” says Niemann, country music star and entertainer for the party. “If you’re doing your own show or
people are there just because of you it’s one thing. If you are part of a party that has already existed for many years, we try to be a chameleon of sorts. We’ll do our own songs, but we’ll also throw in a couple different ones, too, from rock and blues and everything.”
No matter what he sings, Niemann promises a fun time for everyone at the Indiana Convention Center’s Sagamore Ballroom.
“There’s just something to be said about being around people who are pretty much just like you — hardworking, small-town Americans,” Niemann says. “For me, I love being out there and hanging out with everybody.” IN HIS BLOOD
Country music has always been in Niemann’s blood, and he thanks his mother for that: “I was doomed from the beginning hearing country music from the womb. My parents ran a bar when my mom was pregnant with me and I think hearing all those country songs on the jukebox got me going.”
From an early age, Niemann was influenced by country acts such as Lefty Frizzell, Keith Whitley and George Strait. After graduating from high school, he attended South Plains College in Levelland, Texas, pursuing an Associate of Arts degree. He began his professional career by singing and playing acoustic guitar in Texas clubs and bars.
“I did that for about a year, just my guitar and me,” he says. “Then I moved to Nashville and started working out there. Music is one of those
things where it’s such an amazing thing to be a part of that once you’ve been bitten by the bug, there is no way out of it. It’s just who you are.”
In 2010, Niemann signed with record label Arista Nashville and released his debut single, “Lover, Lover.” It became his first Top 40 single on the country music charts, and in August 2010 it hit No. 1.
Since then, Niemann has released four albums — Judge Jerrod & the Hung Jury; Free the Music; Yellow Brick Road; and High Noon. In 2013, his single “Drink to That All Night” hit No. 4 on the U.S. country charts and No. 1 on U.S. country airplay charts.
“I got my foot in the door writing songs in Nashville, and it’s always fun being able to write your own material,” Niemann says. “Every once in a while you find a song you wish you had written.”

NEW MUSICOne of those songs is “Blue Bandana,” his newest single, released in
July. The song will be a part of his new album set for release later this year.“When I heard the song it just took me to so many cool places and
really took me to a lot of cool faces, too,” Niemann says. The song tells the story of a fan attending concerts wearing the same blue bandana and the singer noticing it each time. “Just traveling this country you see a lot
of people who are kind enough to pack up in their cars and do a road trip spending their hard-earned money to see us. I’ve never really done a song that is a thank-you to those folks out there, but this song does that.”
The new album will combine music he’s done before — a country/rock mix — and the more traditional country sound. “It’s a wide array of music,” Niemann says.
He’ll perform some of the new songs from that album at the WWETT Show and hopes everyone can relax and get their minds off work and anything else going on in their lives.
“The real world can be quite a hard place at times for people, and if we can be the guys to get that off their minds for at least 90 minutes, then we’ve done our jobs,” Niemann says. “I just always try to keep a thread of laughter and craziness at our shows if we can.” GOMC
THREE NIGHTS OFWWETT SHOW FUNBY LUKE LAGGIS
You come to Indy for the tools and equipment, the people and excitement. It’s the one time of the year when the whole industry comes together. So let’s have a party.
COLE Publishing celebrates the occasion every year with the Industry Appreciation Party. It’s a chance for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. This year, the WWETT Show Kickoff Party will give you two nights to enjoy leading up to the Industry Appreciation Party.
It all starts Wednesday night. After the final bell rings on Education Day, you can head over to Lucas Oil Stadium, connected to the Indiana Convention Center, for a cold beverage and complimentary hors d’oeuvres while you network with manufacturers and peers. The event will be held Feb. 17-18 from 5 to 8 p.m.
Exhibitors have been invited to co-host the event along with COLE Publishing, and the COLE Pub truck will return to serve as the central bar. Attendees and exhibitors can kick back, relax, share stories or solve problems with industry peers.
“We are very excited to see how creative the co-hosts decide to be,” says Brad Bisnette, the show’s coordinator. “All will be providing a good time for sure.”
On Friday night, the focus will shift from Lucas Oil to the Sagamore Ballroom in the Indiana Convention Center for the Industry Appreciation Party. Country music star Jerrod Niemann will perform an up-close and personal concert for WWETT attendees. Beers are a quarter and the show is free, so you really can’t go wrong.
Visit www.wwettshow.com for complete details on the show. The Kickoff and Industry Appreciation parties are free for all registered attendees.

he Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show is a showcase for new innovations. While that means there are hundreds of
new products on the show floor, innovative companies often use the show to display updated products as well. One of those — the O’Brien 7040-SC diesel-powered hydrojetter from Hi-Vac Corporation — garnered plenty of attention last year.
The diesel-powered trailer jetter comes with plate-mounted 700-gallon-capacity polyethylene water tanks. A new built-in tank sump system is designed to keep sediment from settling on the bottom of the tanks.
“It’s definitely more convenient for the operator,” says Dave Sutter, aftermarket manager for Hi-Vac. “The user only needs a shop vac to keep the tanks clean. That’s going to appeal not only to municipalities, but also smaller plumbers and other drain and sewer cleaning contractors that maybe don’t have a lot of time to devote to cleaning the tanks every day. It can be a huge time-saver.”
The hydraulically actuated swinger reel has a variable-speed control and pivots 190 degrees, providing access to the manhole regardless of how the trailer is parked. While previ-ous models came with a square cover cowling, the improved model features a round cover that encloses the air cleaner and exhaust system.
“Overall, the unit is lighter and easier to clean than the previous model,” Sutter says. “The changes cut between 350 and 500 pounds off the finished product, which is a pretty significant chunk.”
It is powered by a 65 hp Cummins diesel engine with Murphy safety gauges and variable electronic throttle control. The triplex pump from General Pump is rated to 40 gpm at 2,000 psi. The standard 400-foot, high-impact, thermoplastic sewer hose is easy to clean, maintains stiffness and is abrasion-resistant. The tandem-axle trailer has a 6-foot channel frame and is rated to carry a full tank of water at highway speeds.
“We typically get a lot of questions and interest in this unit,” Sutter says. “We get a lot of people who look around at all the jetters at the show, and maybe give a call a few days later. We also have a lot of repeat customers who were looking forward to seeing the changes we made to this model.”
The portability of the diesel-powered system makes the O’Brien 7040-SC a versatile, do-anything choice. “It’s a great unit for cleaning grease traps as well, in addition to day-to-day sewer line cleaning,” he says.
Sutter says Hi-Vac chose to feature the 7040-SC at the 2015 WWETT Show simply because company leaders figured its versatility would appeal to the diverse crowd.
“That’s the great thing about this particular show: You could be talking to a municipal sewer director one minute, then to a large plumbing contrac-tor with franchises all over,” he says. “We love talking to the smaller con-tractors as well, and there’s a place for this unit with them, too. That dy-namic is what makes this the biggest show in this industry.” 800/638-1901; www.obrienmfg.com. GOMC

Money Machines
hen oilfield workers get hurt, their hands and fingers are most at risk. In fact, hand and finger injuries accounted for nearly 38 percent of all recorded lost-time incidents in 2014, according to
the International Association of Drilling Contractors — which explains one of several reasons why Longhorn Tubular Services owns 10 pipe handling machines manufactured by Pipehandler Oilfield Systems.
“To a great degree, our machines minimize our rig employees’ exposure to injuries while performing pipe handling operations,” says Bruce Sharp,
who established Longhorn Tubular in Hobbs, New Mexico, in 2011. “And because of these machines, employees also don’t have to do nearly the amount of lifting they’d otherwise do, which limits their exposure to back strains and other injuries.”
Longhorn Tubular started out as a provider of
pipe laydown and pickup services to customers in the Permian Basin in west Texas and southeastern New Mexico. Over the years, the company expanded and diversified; it now provides oilfield trucking services as well as tubular goods and equipment rentals for well servicing and work-over operations, says Sharp, the company’s owner and president.
PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY
While safety was a big consideration, it wasn’t the only reason Sharp opted to invest in Pipehandler units. Productivity and efficiency also influenced his decision, he notes. “One thing I really liked about the units is that they’re totally self-contained,” Sharp explains. “That allows you to move it and set it up with one man, with no forklift or more employees required.”
Sharp also cites the unit’s ability to reach up to 20-foot-high rig floors, which makes the machine more versatile. “At the time, other similar equipment wasn’t functional at that height,” he notes. “Blowout preventers and frac valve configurations can elevate rig floors pretty high, so we need to be able to raise pipe that high.”

ASSISTANCE WITH PIPESNew Mexico contractor’s portable pipe handling machines boost efficiency and reduce injury risks to employees on job sites
By Ken Wysocky
“Because of these machines,
employees also don’t have to do nearly
the amount of lifting they’d otherwise
do, which limits their exposure to back
strains and other injuries.”Bruce Sharp
Moreover, the Pipehandler machines can work from any side of a work-over rig, which gives contractors like Longhorn Tubular more flexibility on congested work sites. “You can walk between the unit and the rig floor,” he says. “It does not obstruct the side where you’re working.”
Sharp also cites the unit’s elevated operator station, which provides the operator with a clean line of sight while running the machine. “On some other companies’ machines, the operator is stationed away from the machine or operates it remotely, and I personally don’t like that,” he says. In addition, the machine eliminates the need for cable-type or bucket lifting devices, which expose workers to a higher risk of injury.
For added flexibility, the Pipehandler unit can pick up pipe from racks, whether they’re located on the right or left side of the conveyor table/boom. The unit can handle pipe (most of them about 30 to 32 feet long) up to 5 1/2 inches in diameter and weighing up to 2,500 pounds, and works at rig floor heights as low as 3 feet and as high as 20 feet. With frameworks constructed out of structural tube steel, the unit weighs about 7 tons and measures nearly 50 feet long. Sharp says his workers tow the unit, which features a gooseneck hitch, with a 1-ton dually pickup truck. Setup or takedown time? About 30 minutes.
OPERATION OF THE MACHINE
A 54.9 hp, air-cooled diesel engine made by Deutz AG provides power for the unit’s hydraulic systems. Here’s how the machine works: A conveyor bed equipped with two metal arms tilts toward a pipe rack, and the arms lift a joint of pipe off the rack. (The rack must be at least 36 inches high, and the unit can lift pipe that’s up to 60 inches above ground level.) Then the bed tilts back to its regular position, cradling the joint of pipe. After that, hydraulic-powered pistons push the far end of the boom up to the rig floor height.
Then the operator activates a hydraulic “glove” located near the bottom of the trough, which grips the bottom end of the pipe and pushes it up the conveyor bed. When the far end of the pipe reaches the rig floor, rig personnel latch it in an elevator, which lifts it up and into place. Total cycle time? About one joint of pipe every 30 seconds, though Sharp says the machine sometimes can load pipe even faster than that if the rig floor isn’t very high.
RELIABILITY OF THE MACHINE
Sharp also cites the unit’s reliability, noting that equipment downtime is a profitability killer that can also kill chances for repeat business. “Time is money,” he notes. “You’re depending on all the pieces (on a job site) working together and if one piece breaks down, everything else potentially has to wait for it to be repaired, so dependability is pretty important.
“The Pipehandler machines are pretty well engineered,” he continues. “All the hydraulics are powered by an air-cooled Deutz diesel engine, which
we’ve found to be very reliable. If you keep the machine’s moving parts lubricated and give it a little TLC, these machines are pretty dang reliable.”
At roughly $190,000 per machine, plus the purchase of a truck to tow it, the units represent a significant capital expenditure. But Sharp says they’ve proved to be worthwhile purchases. “They’re the reason our company exists,” he says. “At the time we bought the first one, we only offered pickup and lay-down services. You take a risk every time you invest money in equipment, but this was a very good investment.” GOMC

Money Machines
hen oilfield workers get hurt, their hands and fingers are most at risk. In fact, hand and finger injuries accounted for nearly 38 percent of all recorded lost-time incidents in 2014, according to
the International Association of Drilling Contractors — which explains one of several reasons why Longhorn Tubular Services owns 10 pipe handling machines manufactured by Pipehandler Oilfield Systems.
“To a great degree, our machines minimize our rig employees’ exposure to injuries while performing pipe handling operations,” says Bruce Sharp,
who established Longhorn Tubular in Hobbs, New Mexico, in 2011. “And because of these machines, employees also don’t have to do nearly the amount of lifting they’d otherwise do, which limits their exposure to back strains and other injuries.”
Longhorn Tubular started out as a provider of
pipe laydown and pickup services to customers in the Permian Basin in west Texas and southeastern New Mexico. Over the years, the company expanded and diversified; it now provides oilfield trucking services as well as tubular goods and equipment rentals for well servicing and work-over operations, says Sharp, the company’s owner and president.
PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY
While safety was a big consideration, it wasn’t the only reason Sharp opted to invest in Pipehandler units. Productivity and efficiency also influenced his decision, he notes. “One thing I really liked about the units is that they’re totally self-contained,” Sharp explains. “That allows you to move it and set it up with one man, with no forklift or more employees required.”
Sharp also cites the unit’s ability to reach up to 20-foot-high rig floors, which makes the machine more versatile. “At the time, other similar equipment wasn’t functional at that height,” he notes. “Blowout preventers and frac valve configurations can elevate rig floors pretty high, so we need to be able to raise pipe that high.”

he risks, including death, are well known. Despite being easily prevented, cave-ins during
trenching and excavation work continue to occur, killing an average of 40 workers every year. Whenever he hears of an incident, Ronnie Perkins says, “The first thing that comes to my mind is ‘competent person.’”
Perkins, safety and education director for Associated General Contractors of Kentucky, stresses that a competent person
is the last line of defense for workers and a company.
“There’s really not an excuse for anyone being injured in a trench accident,”
Perkins says. “When you trace it all back, you usually find that they either didn’t have a competent person or that the person really didn’t meet the definition. If you have a competent person who has thoroughly inspected the site, classified the soil, chosen the correct type of protective system, and trained all applicable employees in excavation and trenching safety, there should be no trenching accidents.”
Soil is very heavy; a cubic foot of soil can weigh over 100 pounds. Just 1 cubic
yard of soil can weigh more than 2,700 pounds and easily kill or injure someone.
A competent per-son, says Perkins, is someone who is capa-ble of identifying ex-isting and predictable hazards or working
conditions and has been given authority by their employer to immediately correct any hazards. The competent person must be knowledgeable about the OSHA standards
and the protective systems they choose to use, and must be able to:
• Classify soil• Determine the correct type of
protective system• Monitor water removal equipment• Test for atmospheric hazards when
applicable• Train all applicable employees in
excavation and trenching safety
PRODUCTION OVER SAFETYPerkins says schedule pressure is a
common cause of skipping steps that can easily eliminate the danger.
“A lot of it is production related: There are only so many hours and minutes in a day,” Perkins says. “They figure all the extra work to do trench shielding or some kind of protective system is just not necessary, so they take a shortcut and it comes back to haunt them.”
The consequences can be serious, obviously. Two companies were fined $140,000 each last summer for the death of a 22-year-old worker killed in a Manhattan cave-in. Because they were aware of the situation and failed to remove employees even after being warned by safety officials on the project, officials of both companies were also indicted on manslaughter and other charges. Two companies in Texas were fined $70,000 and $18,000 in September 2015 for violations even though no accident occurred. In California, two construction companies that ignored OSHA stop-work orders in April 2015 were fined more than $164,000 and $140,000 for sending workers back into unprotected 11-foot excavations. “Safety has to be a line item in the budget. It has to be accounted for,” says Perkins.
But it’s not just a financial or production issue. “The first ramification is dealing with the families of the victims,” adds Perkins. “What a company owner has to go through dealing with an employee’s family far exceeds any kind of an OSHA penalty.” GOMC

Product Spotlight
The Prospector Hot Oiler hose from Continental ContiTech is designed to handle the high-pressure transfer of hot oil to specially designed trucks on well drilling sites. The oil is used to clear paraffin wax from inside the casings to help start the flow of fluid to the surface.
“Due to the hose being laid across well sites, abrasion resistance and oil resistance are critical attributes of this product,” says David Brinkman, market manager, hydraulics and oil/gas programs, Continental ContiTech. “There are high-temperature requirements, length requirements and flexibility requirements that the hose must meet. Since vehicles are not permitted within the fenced area, having 150-foot hose lengths gives you the ability to make two of the standard 75-foot length assemblies and get exactly the footage you need to make the assemblies as you need them.”
The hose features a black, oil- and abrasion-resistant synthetic rubber cover reinforced with two braids of high-tensile steel wire to withstand harsh working conditions. Fittings used in this application are National Pipe Thread (NPT) male American Petroleum Institute (API) and 1502 hammer union fittings. The hose has a temperature range of minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit to 275 F continuous and 300 F intermittently.
“It sounds very simple, but it’s a niche application that our sales team was able to identify,” Brinkman says. “There were some gaps in performance and length tolerances that we were able to capitalize on.”
The hose has an inside diameter of 1 1/2 inches and maximum outside diameter of 2 1/5 inches. Minimum burst is 8,750 psi. 800/235-4632; www.contitech.us.

Product News
Product Spotlight
The Prospector Hot Oiler hose from Continental ContiTech is designed to handle the high-pressure transfer of hot oil to specially designed trucks on well drilling sites. The oil is used to clear paraffin wax from inside the casings to help start the flow of fluid to the surface.
“Due to the hose being laid across well sites, abrasion resistance and oil resistance are critical attributes of this product,” says David Brinkman, market manager, hydraulics and oil/gas programs, Continental ContiTech. “There are high-temperature requirements, length requirements and flexibility requirements that the hose must meet. Since vehicles are not permitted within the fenced area, having 150-foot hose lengths gives you the ability to make two of the standard 75-foot length assemblies and get exactly the footage you need to make the assemblies as you need them.”
The hose features a black, oil- and abrasion-resistant synthetic rubber cover reinforced with two braids of high-tensile steel wire to withstand harsh working conditions. Fittings used in this application are National Pipe Thread (NPT) male American Petroleum Institute (API) and 1502 hammer union fittings. The hose has a temperature range of minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit to 275 F continuous and 300 F intermittently.
“It sounds very simple, but it’s a niche application that our sales team was able to identify,” Brinkman says. “There were some gaps in performance and length tolerances that we were able to capitalize on.”
The hose has an inside diameter of 1 1/2 inches and maximum outside diameter of 2 1/5 inches. Minimum burst is 8,750 psi. 800/235-4632; www.contitech.us.
