ND Petroleum Council reaches outBy Cecile Wehrman

It’s a simple message.Oil Can!And it’s the name of the

North Dakota Petroleum Council’s effort to “engage and educate” the public about the oil industry.

The petroleum council seeks to do that in a num-ber of ways, said Ron Ness, executive director.

“There are three guiding principles,” he said.

Listen FirstThe first thing the organi-

zation aims to do is to be a good listener.

They’ve strived to do that, Ness said, through 25 town hall meetings across the oil patch in the past few years.

Similarly, they conducted a survey last fall to try to identify hot topics as well as the public’s general percep-tion of the oil industry.

Develop partnershipsSecond, the council deter-

mined partnerships should be developed, particularly on issues relating to roads.

Ness said the develop-

ment of a county road task force is a case in point.

“We’re going to sit down and create a regular dialog with the counties,” he said, especially given the extreme road situa-tions that developed with record moisture this spring and sum-mer.

Ness would like to see the council facili-tate relationships be-tween companies and local governments to work on road repairs. Further, he wants to see a one-stop shop for truckers to access road closure informa-tion.

A focus on best practices, including reducing speed to reduce damage and zero tolerance for infrac-tions are other aspects being looked at.

Respect othersThe third principle is to

respect others. Ness said the council does that by offering education and reaching out to the communities impact-ed by oil.

The Bakken Rocks Cook-

fests is a way to draw people out to access some of the informa-tion the council has to offer.

“We hold our ‘Bak-ken Basics’ education sessions and they’ve been wildly popular,” Ness said.

The sessions, which will run from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 26, will feature a number of oil industry profes-sionals talking about everything from geol-ogy to pipelines.

“We have found that there is an incredible curiosity,” Ness said, among people who want to know what the oil industry is all about.

That’s partly be-cause many people

have a mineral interest in the area, but also because every-one is impacted in some way or another by the work going on in the oil patch.

Ness encourages everyone in the community to take part in the cookfest, which includes free food and fun for all.

“When we do these cook-fests it’s a chance for the companies to ‘put a face on’ to the community,” he said.

“Everyone is welcome to attend.”

A number of teams will partner an oil field explorer with service industry part-ner to produce different types of food.

In addition, many will offer merchandise give-aways or activities for kids, includ-ing face painting and a rock climbing wall.

“It really is kind of a car-nival,” he said, with a family friendly atmosphere. “We’re very strict on these that they’re alcohol-free events.”

As well, “Each operator provides an ‘experience’ at their booth. We judge them on the experience,” Ness said, and the winners among the operators also receive prizes.

Baytex works around the weather . . . By Cecile Wehrman

Exploration companies working in the Divide County area have been from extreme to extreme this year -- from blowing snow and record snowfall to a deluge of rain the likes of which have rarely been recorded.

But the oil field never stops, and neither does Baytex En-ergy, USA.

“We don’t ever halt, we just have to work through it,” said Donn Campbell, area super-visor for Baytex in Divide County.

The company currently operates 27 wells in Divide County and has the potential to drill another 150 wells over the next five years.

“Thirty wells a year, weather permitting,” Campbell said.

Working in the winter is hard enough.

“It’s very tough due to blow-ing snow, ground blizzards is what you guys call it. Snow removal off the township roads to keep production going. Drift-ing -- it was tough this winter, cold to operate. It’s hard to start,” said Campbell.

Everyone was looking forward to getting caught up this spring, and being able to work in a little more forgiving environment, but that was not to be.

“Last year the thaw was a lot slower,” and they could work around soft spots.

“(There was) so much rain, then it froze, then it snowed,” Campbell said, and then it rained some more.

Record rainfall created new bodies of water and connected existing ones, inundating as

many as 200 roads -- many of which the oil companies rely on to service existing wells.

“We’re back to producing 65 percent of our wells,” Camp-bell said just after the July 4th holiday, and with no more sig-nificant moisture, that number will be improving.

But it’s still not easy and it won’t be for some time.

“We have several wells that we still don’t have access to due to road closures. There’s really no way around it. You just have to wait ‘til the water subsides. If we can’t, we’ve even built up roads, county and township roads, our-selves,” said Campbell.

What Baytex is doing and what more and more oil com-panies are doing all the time, is to try to work with local officials to set some priorities and work cooperatively.

Said Campbell, “We get with the county guys, of course,

county personnel, and town-ship, and decide what we can do to access and get in and out – and the farmers, land-owners. So far we’ve had great cooperation from landowners, township and county people.”

The company is very flex-ible, he said, and willing to remedy what ever problems present themselves. In one case, that meant loaning a four-wheel drive vehicle to a landowner whose road was torn up.

“If we move something and we tear it up and we make tracks, we fix it,” he said.

If a landowner has too much water, the company has even sought temporary water permits to use slough water for fracing -- helping to al-leviate the wear and tear and roads, as well as helping to open some roads inundated by water.

“It has to be a health and The Ensign 67, drilling on the Colby 23-14-160-99H, in Garnet Township.

. . . in the Bakken oil patchsafety issue for us to pump it out of a slough,” Campbell said.

While the company might save a little by not paying for treated water that is trucked in, using slough water requires the compa-ny to either create a staging area near the well where the water can be treated or to pump it to an area where it can be treated.

One thing Campbell is sure of, he’s not in Oklahoma anymore.

The veteran oil man is more accustomed to conditions in that southern state, where you don’t have to scratch down very far to hit rock.

“The difference is that there’s no ground bottom here. We have to do an extensive amount of location work compared to any-where else,” he said, in order to construct a location that is workable.

They’ve used a type of material called a geopad, which comes in perforated rolls that are laid over a location to help fix a foundation.Then they cover it with gravel before moving a rig onsite.

Other companies are using various mat-type systems to keep well sites accessible in muddy conditions.

With two rigs currently under contract in Divide County, Campbell said Baytex is responsible for keeping about 70 people employed. Beyond that, he said, there are about 13 people in Divide County who work on the production side. Some, if not all of those jobs will remain as long as wells are producing.

Ensign 67 Derrick Hand Pete Williams prepares to ascend the tow-er under the gaze of motorhand Chad Olheiser. The Ensign 67 is one of two rigs under contract to Baytex Energy USA. According to the Baytex corporate website, they participated in the drilling of 12 wells in Divide and Williams counties during the first quarter of 2011. One of those wells, the corporation reported, had a 30-day average peak rate of 775 barrels of oil per day. They expect to drill up to 300 wells in the area, with an average initial production rate of about 420 barrels of oil per day for each well.

‘Progress Zone’ will encourage traffic safetyBy Cecile Wehrman

The North Dakota Petro-leum Council and the North Dakota Department of Trans-portation this summer are rolling out a new public awareness campaign aimed at making all drivers more safe on the road.

“The biggest thing is ad-dressing the concern with the increased amount of traffic,” said the DOT’s Mark Nelson, safety director.

Though the project is ex-pected to launch yet this sum-mer, it’s taken many months to determine what the focus of the program should be.

It all started last fall, said Kelly Wald, communications manager with the NDPC.

“We were really focusing on safety,” she said, so they formed a safety committee to look at three keys: wellsite safety, ground disturbance and public safety.

As well, she said, her agency conducted a public perception survey last fall, which identified housing and roads/traffic safety as the top two concerns among people polled.

The DOT, in turn, received a grant of $20,000 from the National Highway Transpor-

tation Safety Administration to conduct a safety campaign. That money was supplement-ed with funds from an oil and gas research program grant.

The goal -- to focus on cre-ating driver awareness of in-creased traffic and to encour-age safe driving habits.

The name “Progress Zone” was coined and a logo de-veloped to identify the mes-sages.

Wald said the title seems to fit what’s going on in the area these days.

“Western North Dakota is really a ‘progress zone’ right now. There’s a lot of growth and development,” she said, and with that development comes added traffic.

If there’s one overall mes-

sage she hopes people will get from the campaign it is “be patient.”

That message will be de-livered through billboards, bumper stickers and give-aways at events like the Oil Can! Cookfest.

Key components of the program, which will include a number of secondary mes-sages, are still being devel-oped, but Wald said remind-ers to pass with caution and to buckle up are sure to be among them.

But Nelson said the cam-paign is not just aimed at the general public. Though long-time residents of North Da-kota are greatly impacted by the change in trafic patterns, the messages about patience

and safety are just as impor-tant for the truck drivers to receive.

That said, Nelson believes the perception that an in-crease in fatalities or acci-dents involving semis is un-founded.

Though the number of crashes and fatalities is defi-nitely up in recent years, “It has not been disproportion-ate,” he said.

He attributes the increased danger on North Dakota roads to “a lot of impatient type of driving,” including following too close for safety and passing at times when it isn’t safe.

“Our priority is safety for everyone out there,” he said.

Coming as he does from a law enforcement background, Nelson believes enforcement is important, “but I truly be-lieve our educational cam-paign is necessary. It brings the message to the public that these are the issues we’re see-ing out there. If we don’t get that message out there we’re not doing our jobs.”

One thing is certain: Now that traffic has increased, it’s not going to go away any time soon.

“Everybody has to get

along,” Nelson said, and that means a change in driving habits for everyone.

How dangerous are ND roads?

The North Dakota Depart-ment of Transportation was happy to partner with the North Dakota Petroleum Council on a program to cre-ate awareness of the need for more patience among driers.

Traffic accidents and fa-talities are up.

For instance, in 2010, there were 105 fatalities during the whole year, but already in 2011, there have been 37 fatalities in the 17 oil and gas producing counties alone.

“I think that number is tell-ing,” said Mark Nelson, safety director for the ND DOT.

In fact, the number of fatalities this year is up state-wide, so it’s not just the oil patch.

The number of fatalities statewide this year so far is 140 -- the highest since 1982.
