Managing

Veronica
I.
“Ronnie”
Jones
and
Editor Bonnie
Love
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
GEFCO President
Vince
Trotta
about
the
latest
company
news
(a
link
to
the
press
release
is
available
in
our
online
issue
at
worldwidedrillingresoure.com
).
Astec
Industries,
which
purchased
GEFCO
in
2012,
has
decided
to
get
out
of
the
drilling
industry
and
focus
more
on
the
asphalt,
concrete,
and
construction
side
of
their
business.
This
means
they
will
be
selling
the
GEFCO
company
in
its
entirety,
including
King Oil
Tools.
GEFCO
has
been
a
leader
in
the
drilling
industry,
manufacturing
depend-
able,
rugged
drilling
rigs
since
1931,
Made
in
the
USA.
The
company
serves
the
water
well,
environmental,
groundwater
monitoring,
construction,
mining,
gas,
and
oil
industries.
Although
the
company
has
been
sold
five
times
in
the
past
89
years,
the
GEFCO
name
has
always
stood
for
high-quality
products,
exceptional
customer
support,
and
outstanding
value;
a
part
of
GEFCO’s
core
values
that
will
never
change.
While
Astec
Industries
focuses
on
finding
a
buyer,
it
is
business
as
usual
for
the
dedicated
GEFCO Team,
which
just
celebrated
the
launch
of
its
new
contractor
series
and
the
GEFCO
90K
rig.
The
company
is
also
accepting
registrations
for
the
2020
Annual
Resource
Drilling
Fundamentals
Training
Seminar,
developed
in
cooperation
with
Fleming
College,
scheduled
to
take
place
May
4-8,
2020,
at
the
plant
in
Enid,
Oklahoma.
Vince
said,
“We
have
enjoyed
our
relationship
with
Astec
Industries
and
look
forward
to
the
possibility
of
becoming
part
of
an
organization
that
more
broadly
participates
and
invests
in
the
markets
we
serve.”
Vince
expects
to
continue
leading
the
GEFCO
Team
to
a
brighter
future.
Yes,
it’s
true.
We
are
so
very
excited
for
the
future
of
the
GEFCO
GEFCO
Team
in
Enid,
Oklahoma,
and
around
the
world!
The
WWDR
WWDR
Team
extends
a
personal
invitation
to
each
of
you
there
to
call
whenever
we
may
be
of
assistance;
or
just
to
chat.

Dispelling
the
Myths
Surrounding
Hydraulic
Fracturing
Part
3
Adapted
from a
Policy
Brief
by
The
Heartland
Institute
Myth
#3
-
Hydraulic
Fracturing
Causes
Health
Problems
-
Some
activists
have
claimed
the
hydraulic
fracturing
process
causes
a
multitude
of
health
problems,
including
increased
asthma,
lower
birth
weights,
higher
infant
mortality,
and
increased
rates
of
cancer.
However,
there
is
no
evidence
showing
hydraulic
fracturing
causes
such
health
problems.
The
following
is
a
brief
summary
of
the
research
examining
these
important
concerns,
grouped
by
health
problem.
Asthma
-
According
to
the
CDC (Centers
for
Disease
Control
and
Prevention),
the
overall
rates
of
those
with
asthma
have
decreased
from
8.4
to
8.3%.
Since
hydraulic
fracturing
is
used
more
often
and
is
used
all
over
the
country,
one
would
think
asthma
rates
would
be
higher
and
more
common
over
the
past
decade,
but
that
simply
isn’t
the
case.
Not
only
have
fewer
people
been
diagnosed
with
asthma,
but
those
with
asthma
are
having
fewer
attacks.
The
CDC
estimates
the
num-
ber
of
asthma
sufferers
reporting
an
attack
has
fallen
from
52.5%
in
the
2006
-
2010
period,
to
46.9%
in
2016.
Texas,
the
country’s
leading
producer
of
gas
and
oil
and
a
major
center
of
hydraulic
fracturing
operations,
has
the
fourth
lowest
adult
asthma
rate
in
the
United
States.
Pennsylvania,
another
top
gas
and
oil
producing
state,
has
the
fourth
lowest
asthma
mortality
rate,
which
is
even
lower
than
neighboring
New
York’s,
which
banned
hydraulic
fracturing
in
2014.
Additionally,
the
hospitalization
rates
in
Pennsylvania
decreased
from
17.6%
in
2004
to
13.4%
in
2014
(the
most
recent
year
which
data
is
available).
This
indi-
cates
a
24%
decrease
in
asthma
hospitalization
rates,
during
a
period
when
the
number
of
hydraulically
fractured
wells
in
the
state
increased
from
zero
to
more
than
7500.
Birth
Defects,
Low
Birth
Weight,
and
Infant
Mortality
-
This
claim
is
also
without
scientific
merit.
In
2016,
the
low
birth
weight
rate
in
the
country
was
at
8.17%,
much
lower
than
the
previous
data
from
2006,
when
the
rate
was
8.26%.
Infant
mortality
in
the
United
States
has
also
declined.
From
2005
to
2013
(the
latest
year
for
which
data
is
available),
infant
mortality
fell
by
13.1%.
In
Pennsylvania
alone,
the
infant
mortality
rate
declined
8.8%,
while
the
rate
for
other
birth
defects
fell
or
remained
stable
over
the
same
period.
Other
gas
and
oil
producing
states,
such
as
Colorado,
Louisiana,
Oklahoma,
Texas,
and
Wyoming,
also
experienced
decreases
in
their
infant
mortality
rates.
Cancer
-
The
research
on
this
subject
overwhelmingly
shows
hydraulic
fracturing
does
not
cause
cancer.
Hydraulic
fracturing
fluid
is
more
than
99%
water
and
sand,
with
less
than
1%
containing
chemical
additives
used
to
control
different
aspects,
from
the
gel
quality
of
the
fluid
(thicker
fluid
will
suspend
sand
better
than
water),
to
the
fluid’s
density.
Although
some
of
those
chem-
icals
remain
in
the
ground,
the
very
small
amounts
of
chemical
additives
in
fracturing
fluid
are
too
miniscule
to
impact
human
health;
plus,
they
are
well
below
groundwater
table.
Norwegian
researchers
studied
gas
and
oil
workers
mixing
the
fracturing
fluids
and
drilling
mud,
to
see
if
they
would
have
higher
rates
of
cancer,
but
discovered
the
only
elevated
cancer
rates
were
associated
with
asbestos
exposure,
both
on-site
and
off-site,
particularly
before
1980,
when
asbestos
was
commonly
used
on
fracturing
sites.
The
evidence
indicates
that
although
use
of
hydraulic
fracturing
has
increased
over
the
past
ten
years,
the
number
of
cases
of
asthma,
birth
defects,
and
can-
cer
has
decreased.
The
occurrence
of
these
health
issues
in
major
producing
states,
such
as
Pennsylvania
and
Texas,
is
lower
than
many
states
without
signif-
icant
fracturing
operations.

#4

discuss
the
myths
sur-
rounding
hydraulic
fracturing
and
earth-
quakes,

The
Un-Comfort
Zone
II
by
Robert
Evans
Wilson,
Jr.
D
isruption
is
NOT a
Dirty
Word
The
other
day,
I
overheard
this
comment:
“Why
does
innovation
always
have
to
be
about
disruption.
That’s
all
I
ever
hear
anymore
‘disruption,
disruption,
disruption,’
and
it
makes
me
uncomfortable.”
“Disruption”
has
become
the
current
(and
already
overused)
buzzword
of
the
day.
It
seems
for
the
moment,
the
Disruptor
School
of
Thought
has
taken
over
the
innovation
conversation.
Disruption
seems
to
imply
disorder,
confusion,
disturbance,
breakdown,
disintegration,
collapse,
turmoil,
upheaval,
insurrection,
riots,
mutiny,
violence,
chaos,
and
revolution.
All
very
scary
things.
It’s
true,
disruption
is
all
about
shaking
up
the
status
quo
and
is
often
necessary.
It’s
exciting
to
see
a
new
invention
that
i
mproves
our
lives
for
the
better.
In
my
life,
microwave
ovens,
personal
computers,
and
smart
phones,
to
name
just
a
few,
have
done
just
that,
but
innovation
doesn’t
have
to
be
game-changing,
groundbreaking,
or
transformative,
and
most
of
it
is
NOT.
Most
innovation
is
incremental,
or
what
is
also
known
as
sustaining
innovation.
It
is
typically
customer
driven
as
feedback
to
companies
on
what
is
working
for
them
and
what
is
not.
Consumers
are
concerned
with
their
own
needs
and
problems,
and
look
to
leading
companies
to
satisfy
them.
They
want
to
know,
“What’s
in
it
for
me?”
Smart
companies
are
regularly
surveying
their
clients
to
learn
where
they
are
failing.
Smarter
companies
try
to
learn
where
their
competition
is
failing,
as
well;
then
armed
with
this
knowledge,
seek
to
improve
their
offerings.
The
typical
areas
of
incremental
or
sustaining
innovation
include:
product
development,
branding
and
marketing,
process
improvement,
and
service
and
support.
In
the
early
1970s,
Burger
King
listened
to
their
customer’s
feedback
when
their
competition
did
not,
and
introduced
their
now
famous
“Have
it
Your
Way”
campaign.
Customers
said,
“I
don’t
like
your
one-size-fits-all
approach,
and
I
want
you
to
make
mine
the
way
I
like
it.”
The
other
fast-food
chains
ignored
this
ongoing
appeal,
but
in
1973
Burger
King
gave
in,
and
it
was
an
immediate
success
-
so
much
that
it
changed
the
entire
fast-food
market,
and
all
the
competitors
had
to
adapt.
To
a
lesser
degree,
innovation
is
employee
driven,
by
workers
who
are
intimate
with
the
inner
workings
of
a
company
and
imagine
more
efficient
methods
of
operation.
I
believe
there
would
be
more
of
this
if
only
companies
provided
a
way
for
employees
to
communicate
their
ideas.
Disruptive
innovation
is
often
driven
by
the
looming
specter
of
creative
destruction
(creative
destruction
refers
to
a
new
technology
rendering
an
old
technology
obsolete).
Change
is
constant
and
eventually
it
will
affect
every
company
in
some
way,
often
ending
the
business.
The
trick
is
knowing
how
and
when
to
change
with
the
changes.
Forward-looking
companies
are
always
on
the
lookout
for
emerging
trends
and
directions,
how
it
might
affect
their
business,
and
how
to
prepare
for
it.
Part
of
the
communication
problem
with
the
term
“disruptive”
started
in
1995,
when
Clayton
Christensen,
a
Harvard
Business
School
professor,
coined
the
term,
Disruptive
Innovation,
which
he
describes
as
“a
process
by
which
a
product
or
service
takes
root
initially
in
simple
applications
at
the
bottom
of
a
market
and
then
relentlessly
moves
up
market,
eventually
displacing
established
competitors.”
I
have
noticed
many
people
are
using
Christensen’s
term
without
really
understand-
ing
it,
referring
to
every
kind
of
innovation
as
disruptive.
An
example
of
Christensen’s
disruptive
innovation
is
Aldi’s
grocery
stores.
They
are
targeting
the
low
end
of
the
market,
and
have
reduced
costs
by:
placing
stores
in
low-rent
suburban
areas;
eliminating
name
brands;
requiring
customers
to
provide
their
own
bags,
and
pay
a
deposit
on
carts;
minimal
floor
space
with
no
tall
shelves
so
the
entire
store
is
visible
at
a
glance;
products
displayed
in
their
shipping
boxes;
and
fewer
employees,
each
of
whom
is
trained
in
all
the
necessary
skill
sets
for
running
the
store.
The
savings
customers
receive
has
attracted
a
higher
end
customer,
and
the
stores
are
taking
market
share
from
all
of
the
big
chains.
Many
people
believe
the
automobile
was
a
disruptive
innovation,
but
in
the
beginning,
all
cars
were
custom-built
and
so
expensive,
only
the
wealthy
could
own
them.
These
cars
were
not
a
threat
to
horse-drawn
conveyances.
It
was
not
until
Henry
Ford’s
concept
of
standardizing
parts
and
mass
building
cars
on
an
assem-
bly
line
that
the
cost
of
motorized
travel
became
affordable
to
the
average
person,
and
in
turn,
disrupted
the
transportation
market.
When
we
understand
the
differences
in
the
types
of
innovation,
the
concept
of
disruption
becomes
less
frightening.
We
can
prepare
ourselves
for
innovation
by
becoming
more
comfortable
with
change.
The
easiest
way
to
do
this
is
by
routinely
exposing
yourself
to
new
things
and
experiences.

There
is
Nothing
New
Under
the
Sun
by
Britt
Storkson
Owner,
P2FlowLLC
“There
is
nothing
new
under
the
sun”
has
been
stated
in
one
form
or
another
by
many
philosophers
over
the
years.
In
many
cases,
I
would
say
it
is
true.
For
example,
the
cars
we
drive
basically
haven’t
changed
for
nearly
100
years.
When
I
say
“basically”,
I
mean
the
basic
components
are
still
there
-
like
the
engine,
transmission,
wheels,
tires,
etc.
These
components
have
been
dramatically
modified
and
improved
on
modern
cars,
but
they’re
still
basically
the
same
components.
Even
self-driving
cars
that
are
hyped
in
the
media
as
new
and
exciting
have
been
around
for
some
time
now.
“The
Roy
Rogers
Show”
back
in
the
1950s
featured
a
1946
Willys
Jeep
owned
by
Roy
Rogers
named
“Nellybelle”.
Roy
Rogers
only
had
to
whistle
a
few
times
and
Nellybelle
would
come
driving
up
to
him.
There
was
never
an
incident
with
Nellybelle
running
over
or
into
things
and
causing
property
damage.
Nellybelle
did
have
a
mind
of
her
own,
which
Roy
Rogers
needed
to
deal
with
from
time
to
time,
but
that
wasn’t
enough
to
banish
her
to
the
scrap
heap.
Contrast
this
with
the
present
day
Tesla
cars
equipped
with
the
“Summons”
option.
At
a
command
from
the
owner,
the
Tesla
equipped
with
this
is
supposed
to
come
to
you
from
wherever
you
parked
it
.
.
.
like
a
hotel
parking
lot
for
example.
These
cars
have
been
recorded
running
into
walls,
through
planter
beds,
and
over
curbs
in
an
effort
to
get
to
their
owners.
This
has
been
recorded
several
times
with
cars
that
were
production
models
.
.
.
not
untested
prototypes.
While
there
is
nothing
wrong
with
new
or
novel
approaches,
there
are
somethings
that
cannot
or
should
be
automated,
for
practical
considerations
if
for
no
other
reason.
Oftentimes
automation,
despite
its
stated
purpose,
can
add
more
staff
time
and
other
expenses
to
managing
a
project
than
if
it
wasn’t
there
to
begin
with.
Like
spending
say,
$100,000
to
execute
a
proj-
ect
using
humans
versus
spending
$1
million
to
automate
the
same
project.
It
simply
doesn’t
make
any
sense.
Industry
is
replete
with
examples
of
using
automation
because
it
is
the
cool
thing
to
do,
without
fully
considering
the
costs
involved.
The
Seattle
Times
newspaper
recently
reported
Boeing
Aircraft
is
scrapping
a
costly
automated
system
that
was
used
to
install
aircraft
exterior
sheet
metal
and
going
back
to
the
“old
way”
of
doing
it
largely
by
hand.
Boeing
isn’t
releasing
any
figures
about
what
this
cost,
but
I
would
guess
the
total
bill
was
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars.
This
is
on
top
of
all
of
the
other
expenses
having
to
do
with
a
couple
of
their
airplanes
that
dropped
out
of
the
sky
because
of
some
automation
flaws
they
didn’t
catch.
Nowadays,
“hyper-automation”
often
costs
more
than
its
worth.
Don’t
get
me
wrong.
I
am
really
“into”
automation.
It’s
a
great
thing
when
properly
applied.
Automation
works
best
when
it
is
used
to
augment
the
operators,
not
to
replace
them.
Automation
is
great
for
remembering
things,
counting
things,
monitoring
things
like
temperatures
and
pressures
then
either
alerting
the
operator
or
correcting
the
problems
itself,
thus
freeing
the
operator
to
concentrate
on
more
complex
tasks.
This
is
simply
an
issue
of
using
the
right
tool
for
the
job
whether
the
tools
are
common
hand
tools
or
computers,
and
it’s
a
concept
that
is
not
new
and
has
never
changed.

Hydrogeologist
Are
We
Using
Up
All
of
Our
“Cheap”
Water?
Ideally,
every
well
would
have
a
water
level
well
above
land
surface
that
would
produce
enough
water
to
supply
our
needs
under
artesian
pressure
and
a
pump
would
not
be
needed.
Just
turn
on
the
faucet
and
the
artesian
pressure
of
the
aquifer
would
be
sufficient
for
all
your
water
needs.
Some
wells
have
the
ability
to
“free
flow”
a
supply
of
a
few
gallons
per
minute
during
wet
years,
but
gradually
cease
flowing
as
other
wells
nearby
are
installed.
Pumps
are
then
lowered
deeper
over
time
as
the
aquifer
struggles
to
keep
up
with
increasing
demands.
If
“average”
groundwater
levels
are
measured
over
time
and
show
a
declining
trend,
the
“safe
yield”
of
the
aquifer
is
said
to
be
exceeded
and
the
demand
is
greater
than
the
aquifer’s
ability
to
supply
the
water
withdrawn.
Some
areas
in
the
U.S.
and
around
the
world
have
experienced
“permanent”
water
level
declines
of
hundreds
of
feet.
Pumping
water
levels
from
hundreds
of
feet
can
cause
a
number
of
serious
problems
including:
1)
Higher
energy
costs
to
pump
water
from
extreme
depths
and
the
cost
of
larger
pumps
and
additional
wells.
2)
Possible
development
of
sinkholes
due
to
reduced
buoyancy
of
sediments
in
“dry
aquifers”
(dehydration
of
clays).
3)
Many
private
wells,
which
are
generally
shallower
than
irrigation
and
large
supply
wells,
will
go
dry
and
need
to
be
“deepened”
or
replaced.
4)
Lakes
and
streams
will
begin
to
“dry
up”
or
disappear
-
possibly
forever
-
also
impacting
the
surrounding
ecosystem.
The
fix
to
overpumping
groundwater
may
include
expanding
to
larger
well
fields,
tapping
rivers,
streams,
and
other
surface
bodies
of
water
that
will
have
additional
impacts
and
increase
the
“cost”
of
drinking
water
quality
and
availability.
Some
areas
of
the
world
are
build-
ing
desalinization
facilities
to
keep
pace
with
demands
which
are
very
costly
and
require
large
amounts
of
energy
to
operate.
We
must
conserve
and
not
waste
water
-
even
though
there
seems
to
be
an
endless
supply.

Community
Gets
a
New
System
A
dapted
from
Information
by
Tracto
Technik
GmbH
&
Co.
KG
On
a
gas
main
and
service
replacement
project
at
a
golf
course
retirement
community
in
Arizona,
contractor
Underground
Construction
Co.
Inc.
initially
began
using
GRUNDOMAT
soil
displacement
hammers
in
the
extremely
dry,
hard,
tight
ground.
In
addition,
crews
had
to
contend
with
very
narrow
workspaces,
hardscape,
trees,
and
vegetation
between
homes
to
reach
the
gas
meters.
Open
cut
was
dismissed
as
too
slow
and
would
cause
much
disruption
and
difficulties
with
restoration.
Approximately
one
mile
of
new
three-inch
mainline
sleeving
needed
to
be
installed.
Once
in
place,
two-inch
high-density
polyethylene
gas
mains
would
be
inserted.
In
addition,
one-inch
service
sleeving
also
needed
to
be
installed
for
about
120
home
service
laterals.
The
ground
conditions
were
rocky
and
difficult
to
work
in.
Soil
displacement
hammers
allowed
for
the
trenchless
instal-
lation
of
gas
services.
Due
to
the
extremely
dry
and
hard
soils,
it
would
take
two
to
three
hours
to
install
the
new
service.
The
tools
did
their
job
and
were
very
accurate
and
reliable
in
the
tough
conditions,
and
the
crews
did
a
great
job
of
using
their
experience,
skills,
and
ingenuity
to
use
multiple
tools
at
the
same
time
from
the
same
launch
pits
to
install
more
than
one
service
at
a
time,
doubling
their
production.
The
GRUNDOMAT
was
a
good
choice
for
the
project,
but
longer
runs
were
proving
very
time
consuming.
So
the
company
reached
out
for
additional,
more
productive
solutions.
It
was
decided
to
bring
in
a
compact
directional
drill
to
try
and
improve
productions
for
the
longer
serv-
ice
installations,
especially
in
the
tough,
narrow
working
conditions.
The
GRUNDODRILL
4X
was
used
because
it
could
work
effectively
in
tight
residential
areas
due
to
its
shorter
width,
and
had
the
power
the
Underground
Construction
crews
needed
to
overcome
the
difficult
soils.
Instead
of
three
hours
to
install
new
gas
services,
using
the
compact
drill,
they
were
able
to
finish
in
about
an
hour.
The
crews
mostly
used
the
drill
for
longer
runs
and
continued
to
use
the
hor-
izontal
boring
tools
for
the
shorter
runs.
Underground
Construction
Superintendent
Ernesto
Gonzalez
explained,
“The
gas
mains
and
services
providing
natural
gas
to
the
customers
were
installed
in
the
backyards
between
the
homeowner’s
property
and
the
golf
course
fairways
for
this
development.
They
were
deteriorating
and
required
replacement.
New
mains
were
installed
in
the
street
and
the
new
gas
services
needed
to
be
installed
from
the
new
mains
to
the
homes.
The
old
system
was
in
the
back
easements
and
the
new
system
was
being
placed
in
streets
in
front
of
the
homes.
This
would
also
provide
easier
access.”

Underground
Work
for
Highway
Improvements
A
dapted
from
Information
by
Midwest
Mole
Indiana’s
SR
37
is
a
four-lane,
north-south
highway
serving
the
residents
of
Hamilton
County,
the
City
of
Fishers,
and
the
City
of
Noblesville
in
suburban
Indianapolis.
As
growth
in
the
county
has
increased,
more
than
50,000
vehicles
travel
the
corridor
each
day,
and
are
regulated
at
each
of
the
cross
streets
with
traffic
signals
which
are
becoming
more
overloaded
as
time
passes.
Using
a
technique
pioneered
elsewhere
in
the
region,
SR
37
will
be
converted
from
a
surface
street
to
a
freeway
by
constructing
tight
roundabout
interchanges
at
existing
intersections
(plus
one
larger
interchange)
and
depressing
the
SR
37
roadway.
Midwest
Mole
was
contracted
to
build
a
2100-foot
tunnel
for
drainage
requirements,
form
a
detention
pond,
and
make
an
outlet
facility
to
Shoemaker
Ditch.
The
main
work
pit
for
the
tunnel
was
built
using
trench
boxes
and
is
approximately
44
feet
long
and
14
feet
wide.
The
company
used
an
84-inch
tunnel
boring
machine
(TBM)
to
exca-
vate
the
tunnel
using
steel
ring
beams
and
wood
lagging
support.
They
equipped
the
TBM
with
an
onboard
electric
hydraulic
power
pack
to
reduce
noise,
since
the
site
was
in
a
residential/commercial
area.
Based
on
ground
investigation,
the
geology
along
the
TBM
align-
ment
was
expected
to
be
primarily
glacial
till,
which
is
fairly
common
for
the
Indianapolis
area,
but
also
very
complex.
The
till
comprises
pockets
of
water
and
sand,
and
is
interlaced
with
boulders.
Crews
had
to
blast
some
of
the
boulders
so
the
cutterhead
could
pass
through.
They
would
drill
a
small
hole
in
an
offending
boulder,
then
activate
a
small
blast
or
series
of
blasts
to
break
up
the
rock.
This
eased
the
task
of
drilling
with
the
TBM.
Before
half
the
length
of
the
tunnel
was
excavated,
over
20
boulders
had
been
encountered.
“What
is
interesting
about
the
ground
is
that
there
are
not
connected
layers
of
geology
-
just
pockets
of
different
ground
types
and
groundwater,”
said
Mike
Liotti,
project
engineer
for
Midwest
Mole.
“You
can
be
tunnelling
along
and
then
suddenly
you’re
in
a
completely
different
type
of
ground
in
as
little
as
ten
feet.
It’s
a
very
challenging
environment
for
tunnelling.”

Newest
Gold
Mine
in
the
Yukon
is
Up
and
Running!
Adapted
from
Information
by
Victoria
Gold
Corporation
Victoria
Gold
Corporation
announced
its
Eagle
Gold
Project,
in
the
Mayo
Mining
District
of
Central
Yukon
Territory,
Canada,
has
transitioned
into
an
operating
mine.
Construction
at
the
company’s
Dublin
Gulch
property
was
completed
ealier
this
year
and
was
handed
over
to
the
company’s
operations
team
a
month
ahead
of
schedule
and
on
budget.
The
operations
management
team
is
fully
staffed
and
in
control
of
the
site.
Including
construction
and
recent
mine
operations,
over
1.7
million
hours
have
been
worked
since
the
last
Lost
Time
Incident
(“LTI”).
Including
the
beginning
of
mine
operations,
more
than
160,000
hours
have
been
worked
without
an
LTI.
“I
am
extremely
proud
to
announce
that
construction
of
Eagle
came
in
ahead
of
schedule
and
on
budget.
It’s
a
tremendous
accomplishment
and
speaks
to
the
quality
of
the
entire
team,”
stated
John
McConnell,
president
and
CEO.
The
mine
will
produce
doré,
which
is
a
mixture
of
gold
and
silver,
from
a
conventional
open
pit
operation
with
a
three-
stage
crushing
plant,
in-valley
heap
leach,
and
carbon-in-leach
adsorption-desorption
gold
recovery
plant.
The
company
has
year-round
road
access
to
the
site,
and
a
fully
operational
250-person
all-season
camp
on-site.
The
project
will
employ
350-
400
people
and
will
be
a
significant
economic
contributor
to
Yukon.
The
first
gold
pour
was
live
streamed
on
the
company’s
website
in
September.
“The
pouring
of
first
gold
at
Eagle
is
an
important
milestone
and
we
are
thrilled
to
share
it
with
everyone,”
said
McConnell.
“Looking
back,
this
is
the
culmination
of
many
years
of
dedication
and
hard
work
by

So

have
been

is
60%

A

Don’t
Overlook
the
Obvious
by
James
Wild,
President
E
mpire
State
Water
Well
Drillers
Association
Sometimes
the
obvious
is
overlooked.
I
look
back
at
early
well
drilling
machines,
they
were
a
real
engi-
neering
marvel.
Keystones
were
a
very
popular
brand
made
in
the
30s,
40s,
and
50s;
they
seemed
to
be
a
lit-
tle
clumsy
and
a
bit
too
heavy.
Bucyrus-Erie
took
over
t
he
industry
in
the
50s.
Those
machines
were
more
condensed
in
design,
as
well
as
weight.
They
provided
quick
set
up,
usually
by
one
man,
and
most
had
a
third
line
for
casing
or
lifting
heavy
bits.
The
downfall
was
they
didn’t
improve
the
design
throughout
the
years.
They
didn’t
listen
to
cus-
tomers’
requests.
Gravity
on
the
drill
stem
couldn’t
get
quicker
or
be
made
more
efficient,
so
production
didn’t
increase
drastically
since
the
early
rigs
were
made;
8-
10
feet
in
very
hard
rock
to
as
much
as
50-60
feet
a
day
in
soft
shales.
Then
came
the
rotary
era
in
the
late
50s.
Mud
drilling
and
air
rotary
rigs
were
on
the
way
into
the
drilling
industry.
Table
drive
rigs
were
popular.
Then,
someone
engineered
tophead
drive
rigs;
and
tricone
bits
were
replaced
with
down-the-hole
hammers
and
hammer
bits;
small
engines
had
more
horsepower
and
stronger
hydraulics
to
aid
in
rotation
and
pullback;
and
more
CFM
(cubic
feet
per
minute)
and
PSI
(pounds
per
square
inch)
capacity
on
the
onboard
compressors.
This
increased
productivity
drastically.
Hammers
became
more
efficient,
as
did
carbide
and
bit
designs.
Don’t
forget
the
mud;
chemistry
improvements
for
drilling
in
over-
burden
enabled
the
industry
to
drill
deeper
and
safer.
The
production
and
speed
of
hydraulics
is
also
much
faster
than
in
the
early
years,
or
even
30
years
ago.
The
carriers
are
a
dream
to
drive
now,
especially
com-
pared
to
the
275-horsepower
motors
popular
in
the
60s
and
70s.
On
today’s
rigs,
it’s
not
uncommon
to
carry
500
feet
of
rods
and
three
hammers.
This
is
thanks
to
rig
manufacturers
listening
to
the
drill
operators
and
their
requests
to
make
the
job
easier
and
more
efficient.
I
credit
this
to
the
way
our
country
mechanized
after
World
War
II
and
especially
after
the
50s.
Engineering
of
machines
really
took
off
with
automobiles,
excavating,
and
industrial
machines.
Well
drilling
operators
had
a
slightly
better
education
than
the
generation
before.
Look
at
how
many
of
them
were
pilots
or
in
the
Air
Force
in
the
Korean
War,
and
had
plans
after
they
made
their
way
to
success
in
the
drilling
business.
It
made
our
manpower
more
industrious.
Yes,
they
had
more
opportunities,
but
they
tried
different
ways
to
make
a
machine
more
effi-
cient
because
they
were
open
to
new
ideas
and
wanted
to
be
more
productive.
My
opinion
is,
whenever
we
go
to
a
trade
show,
meeting,
or
convention,
we
leave
with
something
new
in
our
minds.
Occasionally
manufacturers
listen,
and
learn
what
we
want,
or
take
our
sugges-
tions
back
to
their
people.
We
might
never
have
the
perfect
rig,
water
truck,
pump
hoist,
etc.,
but
the
more
we
com-
municate,
the
better
our
industry
will
be.
Twenty
years
ago,
I
asked
a
well-
known
salesman,
“Why
doesn’t
your
rig
have
four
jacks
instead
of
three?”
His
reply
was,
“A
milking
stool
only
has
three
legs,
why
does
a
rig
need
four
jacks?”
That
manufacturer
is
now
almost
out
of
business.
After
about
ten
years,
they
started
putting
four
jacks
on
their
rigs.
Yeah,
much
more
stable
and
safer,
plus
height
on
the
front
end
is
greater.
I
don’t
believe
anyone
knows
it
all,
but
when
we
communicate
in
our
indus-
try,
we
all
learn.
So,
don’t
overlook
the
obvious.

Untapped
Heat
Beneath
UK Streets
Could
Pave
Way
for
Greener
Cities
Adapted
from
a
Press
Release
from
the
British
Geological
Survey
After
a
three-year
study
at
one
of
the
UK
Geoenergy
Observatories,
researchers
from
the
British
Geological
Survey
(BGS)
think
natural
water
in
the
ground
below
could
be
used
as
a
low-carbon
heat
source
in
many
towns
and
cities.
A
network
of
sites
are
being
created
across
the
country
to
research
new
and
alternative
energy
supplies
in
the
subsurface.
A
pilot
groundwater
heating
system,
which
heats
a
school
building
in
the
Welsh
capital
of
Cardiff,
uses
the
warmth
stored
in
the
aquifer
belowground
along
with
electric
heat
pumps.
Data
from
the
system
below
the
city
is
being
collected
using
a
network
of
61
boreholes
equipped
with
temperature
and
water
level
sensors,
to
create
a
picture
of
the
groundwater
temperatures
in
the
aquifer
about
30
feet
below
the
surface.
Researchers
knew
the
use
of
ground
source
heat
pumps
changed
the
ground
temper-
ature
by
several
degrees,
but
didn’t
know
how
much.
A
study
of
the
data
collected
from
2015-2018
revealed
aquifer
temperatures
fell
two
degrees
during
the
first
three
years
of
operation,
which
was
predicted
by
mod-
els.
This
gives
greater
confidence
the
technology
works
well
and
can
be
deployed
effectively
and
sustainably
on
a
larger
scale.
They
believe
a
similar
scheme
covering
up
to
a
quarter
of
the
city’s
2020
heating
demand
would
result
in
an
eight-degree
temperature
drop,
so
the
large
heat
resources
in
the
UK’s
groundwater
could
sustain
shallow
open-loop
ground
source
heat
pump
systems.
David
Boon,
BGS
research
lead
said,
“Our
findings
prove
that
groundwa-
ter
source
heat
pumps
are
a
technically
viable,
low-carbon
heating
solution
in
many
towns
and
cities
across
the
UK,
providing
the
geology
beneath
the
sur-
face
is
favorable.
Of
course,
regulation
and
long-term
planning
will
be
needed
to
manage
this
emerging
energy
tech-
nology
so
that
larger
and
more
complex
schemes
can
be
rolled
out
in
our
cities
without
“draining”
the
underground
heat
source.
If
we
are
to
deploy
ground
source
heat
pump
technology
at
a
large
scale
to
help
meet
the
2050
zero
carbon
emission
pledge
in
a
sustainable
way,
we
will
need
to
introduce
a
light-touch
registration
scheme
for
all
types
of
ground
source
heating
and
cooling
schemes,
to
help
energy
planners
to
minimize
thermal
interference
between
neighboring
systems.”
Mr.
Boon
concluded
that
a
well-bal-
anced
combination
of
groundwater
source
heat
pumps,
in
tandem
with
vertical
closed-loop
ground
source
heat
pumps
and
air
source
heat
pumps,
would
max-
imize
options
for
decarbonizing
heating
in
UK homes
and
businesses.

Through
the
Back

by
Jim
Kuebelbeck
Testimonial
“I
would
like
to
document
our
water
locating
experience
with
Jim
and
Carol
Kuebelbeck
(water
dowsers
from
St.
Joseph,
Minnesota).
After
years
of
searching,
my
husband,
Gary,
and
I
found
our
ideal
25-acre
parcel
on
which
to
build
our
dream
home.
Prior
to
our
purchase,
the
future
building
site
was
on
a
farmer’s
soybean
field.
Due
to
our
recent
extended
winter,
followed
by
a
lot
of
early
summer
rain,
our
house
was
already
framed
and
shingled
by
the
time
the
well
[drilling
contractors]
were
able
to
get
their
rig
out
to
drill
a
well.
We
weren’t
worried
though,
because
we
had
neighbors
with
good
wells
and
we
thought
the
well
drilling
company
would
be
able
to
drill
almost
anywhere
and
encounter
a
good
ground-
water
supply.
We
couldn’t
have
been
more
wrong.
The
[drill
operators]
hit
granite
at
44
feet
and
were
unable
to
drill
through
it.
They
then
recommended
hiring
Jim
Kuebelbeck,
a
widely
known,
successful
water
dowser
in
central
Minnesota.
We
contacted
Jim,
but
he
and
his
wife
were
leaving
the
next
morning
to
travel
out
of
state
and
were
unable
to
assist
us
at
the
time.
Due
to
the
late
building
start,
my
husband
and
I
were
really
concerned
and
didn’t
want
to
wait,
so
we
talked
to
some
of
the
local
neighbors
in
the
area
and
learned
about
another
gentleman
who
supposedly
was
able
to
sense
underground
water
sources.
He
arrived
the
next
day
and,
in
only
about
five
minutes,
selected
two
sites
where
he
indicated
good
water
sources
would
be
encountered.
In
the
meantime,
just
to
be
on
the
safe
side,
we
switched
to
a
well
drilling
company
that
was
capable
of
drilling
granite.
We
talked
to
them
and
tried
to
look
at
this
whole
thing
more
“scientifically”.
They
brought
out
geological
survey
maps
from
the
local
area
and
were
confident
that
a
good
groundwater
source
could
be
encountered,
so
we
were
ready
to
go.
A
drilling
date
was
set,
and
both
my
husband
and
I
arranged
to
be
present
on-site
for
the
drilling.
When
the
well
[drilling
crew]
arrived,
we
watched
them
set
everything
up.
We
excitedly
kept
watch
as
they
began
drilling.
After
about
an
hour,
some
grinding
noises
started
to
come
from
the
drilling
rig.
They
encountered
granite
again
and
continued
boring
down
to
see
if
they
could
drill
through
it.
After
they
got
down
to
50
feet,
they
checked
to
see
if
any
water
was
encountered.
(As
a
side
note,
they
can’t
just
tell
if
a
well
will
produce
enough
water
until
they
install
a
well
screen
and
test
pump
the
well.)
After
installing
the
well
screen
and
submersible
pump,
the
well
only
produced
a
paltry
one
gallon
of
water
a
minute.
This
was
nowhere
near
what
we
needed
to
supply
our
new
home.

What
Will
Core
Drilling
in
the
Most
Powerful
Ocean
Current
Reveal?
Adapted
from
Information
by
Columbia
University
and
the
International
Ocean
Discovery
Program
A
team
of
30
scientists
from
13
countries
sailed
from
Puntas
Arenas,
Chile,
on
the
ship
JOIDES
Resolution
,
to
begin
Expedition
383
of
the
International
Ocean
Discovery
Program
(IODP)
last
spring. The
team
plans
to
drill
into
the
seabed
of
some
of
the
planet’s
most
remote
marine
regions
to
study
the
Antarctic
Circumpolar
Current
(ACC)
and
how
it
might
respond
to
human-induced
climate
change.
The
ACC
is
the
world’s
largest
current
system
and
the
only
current
which
flows
all
the
way
around
the
globe
without
getting
diverted
by
landmass.
It
sends
up
to
150
times
the
flow
of
all
the
world’s
rivers
clockwise
around
Antarctica
connecting
all
three
major
ocean
basins,
the
Pacific,
Atlantic,
and
Indian.
“This
is
really
a
key
piece
of
the
world
climate
system,
because
this
is
where
so
much
heat
and
carbon
are
exchanged
between
the
ocean
and
the
atmosphere,”
said
cochief
scientist
Gisela
Winckler,
a
geochemist
and
paleoclimatologist
at
Columbia
University’s
Lamont-Doherty
Earth
Observatory.
“We
should
learn
about
how
the
winds,
the
ocean,
and
the
Antarctic
ice
sheet
have
responded
to
warming
in
the
past.
That
will
help
us
know
what
they
might
do
in
the
future.”
Little
is
known
about
how
the
ACC
works,
but
it
is
believed
to
play
a
key
role
in
regulating
natural
climate
swings.
What
is
known
is
that
the
ACC
is
a
complex
set
of
currents
with
spinoffs
containing
huge
amounts
of
carbon
dioxide,
nutri-
ents,
and
heat
from
the
deep
ocean.
Scientists
plan
to
drill
into
sediment
lying
3300-16,500
feet
beneath
the
sea
surface,
and
gather
cores
up
to
1600
feet
long.
The
first
cores
will
come
from
the
continental
shelf
along
the
southernmost
coast
of
Chile
where
the
ACC
must
pass
through
the
narrow
Drake
Passage
between
South
America
and
the
Antarctic
peninsula.
The
deeper
cores
will
come
from
the
southeastern
Pacific,
near
the
oceanic
pole
of
inaccessibility,
also
known
as
Point
Nemo.
This
spot
in
the
ocean
is
the
farthest
from
any
land
-
more
than
1000
miles
in
any
direction. In
fact,
at
certain
times,
this
location
is
closer
to
the
International
Space
Station
than
to
inhabited
land.
The
shallow
cores
are
expected
to
contain
shells
of
tiny
creatures
that
died
and
sank
to
the
bottom
of
the
ocean
some
8
million
years
ago.
These
capture
information
about
ancient
water
temperatures,
plankton
production,
nutrient
concentrations,
and
other
qualities
which
could
help
map
the
changes
in
the
ACC’s
strength
and
other
workings.
Cores
from
the
southeast
Pacific
may
contain
rocky
debris
scraped
up
by
glaciers
in
Antarctica,
rafted
out
to
sea
in
icebergs,
and
then
dropped
to
the
bottom
when
the
bergs
melted.
Changes
in
this
debris
over
time
would
allow
researchers
to
see
how
the
ice
sheet
reacted
to
cold
and
hot
swings
hooked
into
the
ACC.
One
mystery
the
scientists
are
hop-
ing
to
solve
is
how
the
ACC
has
not
become
any
stronger
even
though
the
powerful
winds
from
the
west
that
drive
the
ACC’s
clockwise
motion
have
increased
in
recent
decades.
Coring
may
help
scientists
test
hypotheses
about
why.

Jordan’s

Adapted
from
Information
by
BAUER
Potassium,
the
seventh
most
abundant
element
in
the
earth’s
crust,
is
found
mainly
in
heavy
soils
and
seawater.
The
old
method,
soaking
wood
ash
in
water
and
evaporating
the
solution
in
pots
to
extract
potassium
salts,
yielded
the
colloquial
term
“potash,”
which
is
widely
used
today
for
various
salts,
all
containing
the
element
potassium.
This
element
is
one
of
the
three
major
components
of
fertilizers,
allowing
farmers
to
increase
crop
yields
and
improve
plant
resilience.
Actually,
roughly
90%
of
the
potassium
salt
produced
in
the
w
orld
is
used
for
fertilizers.
Huge
deposits
of
potassium
salt
underground
de-
posits,
left
behind
by
dried-up
prehistoric
seas,
exist
in
many
regions
of
the
world.
The
Dead
Sea
is
also
a
partic-
ularly
abundant
source
for
potassium
salt.
Jordan’s
Arab
Potash
Company
depends
on
this
resource
as
the
basis
for
their
potash
production.
Their
production
method
is
to
pump
salt
water
from
the
Dead
Sea
into
large
earth
basins.
Then
the
water
is
left
to
evaporate,
leaving
behind
the
valu-
able
potash.
Huge
dikes
are
erected
around
these
earth
basins
to
keep
the
water
seepage
to
a
minimum.
To
further
limit
seepage
and
keep
the
briny
water
within
the
solar
pond,
the
company
has
contracted
with
Royal
Haskoning
DHV,
an
engineering
firm
from
the
Netherlands,
and
BAUER
International
FZE,
a
subsidiary
of
BAUER
Spezialtiefbau
GmbH.
They
will
erect
a
total
of
133,950
square
yards
of
cut-off
wall
with
embedded
sheet
piles
a
little
over
two
miles
long
adjacent
to
the
main
perimeter
dike.
With
a
planned
width
of
23-5/8
inches,
the
wall
will
be
installed
at
depths
between
19
and
32
yards.
Constructing
this
wall
will
present
special
challenges
because
of
the
mostly
salty
soil,
completely
salt-saturated
ground-
water,
and
the
huge
amount
of
soil
which
must
be
moved.
To
complete
this
wall,
the
project
team
is
using
two
Bauer
cutters,
a
BC
40
and
a
BC
30,
in
addition
to
a
grab.
Expected
to
take
20
months
to
construct,
the
project
is
scheduled
for
completion
in
August
2020.

Banks
are
Alive
and
Helpful
Despite
how
important
banks
are
to
small
businesses,
the
majority
of
small
businesses
appear
to
be
experiencing
problems
with
their
banks
and
the
services
they
offer.
According
to
a
recent
survey,
a
whop-
ping
69%
of
small
business
owners
feel
their
current
bank
does
not
meet
all
of
their
needs
and,
thus,
would
be
willing
to
switch
banks.
Choosing
a
bank
involves
more
than
simply
opening
a
new
account
at
the
closest
branch.
First,
con-
sider
what
services
are
required
by
the
drilling
operation
and
how
much
they
will
cost.
While
many
services
provided
by
banks
are
also
available
from
other
sources,
banks
may
be
more
convenient
-
and
the
c
osts
may
be
less,
depending
upon
the
number
of
services
or
“products”
used
by
the
drilling
business.
Since
fees
for
many
of
these
services
are
often
“bundled,”
comparison
shopping
is
a
must.
Has
the
time
come
to
shop
for
a
new
bank?
Obviously,
there
are
both
benefits
and
drawbacks
to
working
with
different
banks,
usually
based
on
their
size.
Comparing
small,
medium,
and
large
banks
usually
revolves
around
the
type
of
bank:
*
Credit
Unions
offer
some
of
the
most
competitive
loan
rates,
but
only
members
can
apply
for
those
loans.
*
Community
banks
are
often
a
good
fit
if
the
top
priority
is
person-
alized
service.
*
Regional
banks
serving
an
entire
state
or
region
are
a
better
fit
for
medium-sized
businesses,
or
small
businesses
with
aggressive
growth
strategies.
*
Big
banks
are
usually
the
answer
if
low
fees
and
the
latest
online
banking
technology
are
important.
They
usually
offer
the
best
incen-
tives
for
attracting
new
business.
However,
in
the
long-term,
meeting
the
needs
of
the
business
will
have
a
bigger
impact
on
the
health
of
the
busi-
ness
than
any
immediate
cash
benefit.
Banking
relationships
should
be
viewed
as
long-term
-
not
what
the
business
needs
today,
but
what
it
might
require
18
to
24
months
down
the
road.
Finding
a
banker
who
understands
the
drilling
industry,
the
business’s
creditworthiness,
and
seasonal
borrowing
needs
is
essential.
Selling
the
banker
on
the
operation’s
growth
potential
and
the
opportunity
it
offers
a
bank
for
addi-
tional
services,
is
important.
Once
a
drilling
company
has
estab-
lished
a
good
banking
relationship,
it
is
a
good
practice
to
meet
personally
if
only
to
update
the
business’s
finances.
While
switching
banks
can
be
a
hassle,
advising
the
operation’s
current
banker
of
the
shopping
around
can
be
reward-
ing.

The
Willamette
Water
Supply
System
(WWSS)
was
created
in
response
to
planned
growth
in
service
areas
in
Washington
County,
Oregon,
to
provide
an
additional,
resilient
water
supply.
The
WWSS
Commission
intergovernmental
entity
was
formed
by
Tualatin
Valley
Water
District,
and
the
cities
of
Hillsboro,
Beaverton,
and
Wilsonville.
When
complete,
the
WWSS
will
be
one
of
Oregon’s
most
seismically
resistant
water
systems
-
built
to
better
withstand
natural
disasters,
protect
public
health,
and
speed
regional
economic
recovery
through
restoring
critical
services
more
quickly.
The
new
water
main
will
be
placed
under
the
Willamette River
using
horizontal
directional
drilling
(HDD).
The
drill
rig
will
be
stationed
and
operate
on
the
west
side
of
the
river,
while
the
pipe
lay
down
and
pullback
phases
will
be
located
on
the
eastside.
The
Willamette
River,
one
of
Oregon’s
largest
rivers,
is
also
the
WWSS’s
new
supply
source.
The
raw
water
intake
is
located
at
the
Willamette
River
Water
Treatment
Plant
in
Wilsonville.
From
there,
raw
water
will
be
pumped
to
the
WWSS
Water
Treatment
Plant,
a
new
state-of-the-art
water
filtration
plant
where
multiple
treatment
processes
will
produce
high-quality
drinking
water.
The
drinking
water
will
be
pumped
to
reservoir
facilities
on
Cooper
Mountain,
then
gravity-fed
to
additional
storage
and
customers
in
the
service
areas.
The
entire
new
pipeline
will
be
about
30
miles
long.
Construction
is
underway,
and
by
close
coordination
with
local
jurisdictions,
installation
of
the
pipeline
at
the
same
time
as
road
projects
will
lessen
traffic
and
impacts,
plus
reduce
proj-
ect
costs.
Survey
and
geotechnical
drilling
crews
will
be
working
in
Wilsonville’s
Willamette
River
Water
Treatment
Plant
Park.
The
award-winning
park
was
built
in
conjunction
with
the
city’s
water
treatment
plant
through
a
community
design
process,
and
includes
opportunities
for
education
and
interpretation.
The
park
will
remain
open,
so
visitors
may
notice
drill
rigs
on
the
grounds,
in
the
parking
area,
and
along
segments
of
the
Ice
Age
Tonquin
Trail.
The
Beaverton
area
should
see
construction
in
2021,
with
the
entire
system
complete
by
2026.

Oil/Water
Exploration
by
Harold
White
I
was
going
100
miles
south
to
do
a
water
location
for
a
well.
The
place
was
close
to
a
restaurant
called
Heaven
On
Earth.
This
is
a
very
popular
place,
even
preachers
talk
about
it.
Anyway,
we
were
going
like
60
miles
per
hour
to
get
there.
I’ve
always
wanted
to
go
to
a
heavenly
place,
so
I
told
Tuajuana
to
speed
it
up
to
75,
I
would
like
to
get
there
as
soon
as
I
can.
We
were
fol-
lowing
other
cars.
They
were
going
fast
too,
like
they
really
wanted
to
get
there,
and
wouldn’t
you
know
it?
There
was
a
cop
car
parked
in
the
median
with
a
camera
taking
pictures.
I
didn’t
know
there
was
a
speed
limit
on
how
fast
you
could
get
there.
Lucky
day
for
us,
the
cop
was
already
busy
with
his
early
birds.
So
much
for
the
saying
about
early
birds.
When
I
got
to
the
place
to
do
the
location,
I
expected
it
to
be
a
farm
as
usual,
but
it
was
a
four-lot
piece
of
prop-
erty
with
old
houses
and
outbuildings
in
the
process
of
being
demolished.
They
had
torn
the
house
apart
and
made
a
big
burn
pile.
Flames
were
20-plus
feet
high.
It
was
face-cooking
hot,
and
felt
like
it
every
time
I
passed
through
the
area
between
the
garage
and
the
burn
pile.
I
did
not
want
to
wait
for
the
fire
to
go
down
just
to
finish
my
job.
Later,
we
went
back
to
the
Heaven
On
Earth
restaurant,
so
I
felt
like
I
went
to
hell
and
back
in
about
five
hours.

Radioactive
Wastes
-
The
Public
Remains
Skeptical,
Part
Two
A
dapted
from
World
Nuclear
Association
Many
people
think
the
cost
of
hazardous
level
waste
(HLW)
management
is
not
economically
feasible.
But
the
Nuclear
Energy
Agency
(NEA)
has
coordinated
exercises
to
compare
cost
estimates.
Due
to
these
comparisons,
estimates
are
becoming
increasingly
reliable.
Since
part
of
the
cost
of
HLW
management
is
passed
on
to
nuclear
power
plants,
they
have
set
aside
funding
for
this.
Although
the
cost
is
high,
this
does
not
make
the
nuclear
fuel
cycle
uneconomic
because
of
the
high
ratio
of
revenue
earned
to
waste
volumes
produced.
Still
another
idea
is
waste
should
be
disposed
of
into
space.
Although
mentioned
repeatedly
since
the
1970s,
no
further
studies
have
been
performed
because
of
the
high
cost
and
the
potential
for
a
catastrophic
launch
failure.
Others
believe
HLW
should
be
transformed
into
less
toxic
materials,
rendering
it
harmless
in
only
a
few
hundred
years.
This
still
does
not
eliminate
the
need
for
ultimate
disposal.
Research
on
the
alteration
process
is
ongoing,
but
it
is
likely
not
a
viable
process
because
it
requires
additional
operations.
A
major
concern
is
the
potential
terrorist
threat
to
large
volumes
of
HLW
currently
in
storage.
But
HLW is
kept
in
secure
nuclear
facilities
with
appropriate
protection
measures.
Their
structure
would
make
it
difficult
for
terrorist
action
to
disperse
radiation.
In
2002,
a
National
Academy
of
Sciences’
report
concluded
if
a
dirty
bomb
attack
were
to
occur,
there
would
be
few
casualties
with
detectable
contamination
removed,
although
this
would
be
an
expensive,
time-consuming
task.
Stronger
controls
to
prevent
theft
or
loss
must
be
in
place
to
ensure
security.
Many
think
man-made
and
natural
radiation
are
different;
however,
this
is
not
so.
Radiation
from
man-made
radionuclides
is
exactly
the
same
form
as
radiation
from
naturally
occurring
radioactive
materials,
such
as
alpha,
beta,
or
gamma
radiation.
Actually,
natural
radiation
cannot
be
distinguished
from
radiation
produced
by
the
nuclear
fuel
cycle.
Because
most
elements
have
a
radioactive
form
(radioisotope)
occurring
naturally,
we
are
surrounded
by,
and
bathed
in,
natural
radiation
originating
from
rocks
and
soil,
building
materials,
the
sky,
food,
and
even
each
other.
Typical
background
exposure
is
2-3
millisieverts
per
year
(mSv/yr);
a
millisievert
is
a
radioprotection
unit
measuring
the
radiation
dose
received
either
from
a
radioactive
source
or
from
other
sources
like
X-rays.
This
level
is
very
seldom
exceeded.
Most
HLW
is
stored
where
it
is
generated,
and
there
has
been
no
government
consensus
on
managing
it.
In
May
2018,
the
House
of
Representatives
voted
to
restart
the
Yucca
Mountain
Process,
but
Congress
has
not
released
funding
to
resume
this
project.
Clearly,
the
process
toward
safe
storage
of
HLW
will
become
increasingly
necessary,
but
difficult.

and
Venture
Global
LNG
As
part
of
Venture
Global
LNG’s
Calcasieu
Pass
project
supply
agreement,
Baker
Hughes
(BHGE)
has
been
contracted
to
provide
an
LNG
(liquefied
natural
gas)
liquefaction
train
system
with
18
modularized
compression
trains
across
nine
“blocks”,
for
a
total
capacity
of
ten
million
tons
per
annum.
The
system
features
a
“plug
and
play”
approach
for
faster
installation
and
lower
construction
and
opera-
t
ional
costs.
The
930-acre
LNG
export
facil-
ity
project
is
located
where
the
Calcasieu
Ship
Channel
meets
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
in
Louisiana.
This
location
is
in
close
proximity
to
sev-
eral
major
interstate
natural
gas
pipelines
and
situated
in
the
middle
of
one
of
the
most
active
trading
areas
for
pipeline-quality
natural
gas
in
North
America.
With
more
than
a
mile
of
deep
water
frontage,
the
new
facility
will
have
two
ship-loading
berths.
“By
providing
innovative
LNG
technology
solutions
to
projects
such
as
Calcasieu
Pass,
BHGE
is
continuing
to
help
unlock
the
potential
of
natural
gas.
We
are
proud
to
be
a
strategic
partner
for
such
an
innovative
and
important
project
for
the
U.S.
LNG
market,”
said
Rod
Christie,
BHGE
president
and
CEO,
turbomachin-
ery
&
process
solutions.
“As
global
energy
demand
continues
to
grow
and
with
it
an
increasing
focus
on
energy
transition
in
the
coming
decades,
we
will
see
more
adoption
of
gas
solutions
in
the
energy
mix,
making
the
availability,
flexibility,
and
cost
of
natural
gas
important
factors
in
shaping
the
future
of
energy.”
The
modules
will
be
manufactured,
assembled,
tested,
and
transported
from
BHGE
plants
in
Italy,
with
equipment
deliveries
expected
to
begin
in
the
second
half
of
this

Concept
Foam-Utilizing
Inflatable
Packer
Adapted
from
Information
by
Aardvark
Packers
A
third-party
environmental
services
client
of
a
U.S.
Navy
property
in
Norfolk,
Virginia,
wanted
to
drill
five-inch
holes
in
a
current
drydock
to
measure
stresses
and
continuity
of
the
concrete
used
in
its
original
design.
This
would
be
a
long-
term
series
of
continual
testing
using
Aardvark
Packers
with
multiple
transducers
mounted
below
the
packers.
The
task
for
the
Aardvark
Team
was
to
design
a
robust
inflatable
packer
to
be
inflated
with
expandable
foam.
The
packers
needed
to
be
fairly
inexpensive
yet
extremely
durable,
since
the
inflated
time
frame
would
be
up
to
ten
years
without
loss
of
pressure.
The
design
needed
to
be
a
fixed-end
style,
incorporating
two
pass-through
ports
for
¼-
inch
transducer
cables.
The
specially
designed
plastic
heads
at
each
end
needed
to
be
very
strong,
and
rated
for
temper-
atures
upwards
of
300ºF
(149ºC).
Aardvark
Packers
manufactured
five
pilot
packers
to
be
tested
in
concrete
blocks,
and
they
performed
flawlessly.
The
pass-through
tubes
and
modification
of
the
compression
fittings
allowed
the
transducer
cables
to
be
sealed
within
the
packer,
and
retain
the
seal.
After
approving
the
design
and
testing
meas-
ures,
the
Navy
ordered
22
additional
units
for
the
project.

the
Groundwater
Guy

Thomas
E.
Ballard,
P.G.,

PLLC
Common
Causes
of
Well
Failure
-
Neglect
All
the
causes
of
well
failure
we
have
talked
about
in
recent
posts
have
been
controllable.
Neglect
is
probably
the
most
common
cause
of
well
failure,
while
at
the
same
time,
one
of
the
most
preventable.
Yet,
the
most
common
well
management
technique
out
there
is
to
run
wells
until
they
quit
pumping
water.
Of
course,
wells
never
experience
catastrophic
failure
at
convenient
times
-
it
is
most
likely
to
be
something
like
3:00
a.m.
on
a
holiday!
In
the
normal
course
of
operation,
and
dependent
on
groundwater
chemistry
and
other
factors,
wells
will
plug
up
due
to
silt
and
clay
plugging,
biofouling,
and
development
of
mineral
incrustations,
all
of
which
will
plug
the
formation,
gravel
pack,
and
screens
over
time
until,
eventually,
the
well
will
cease
to
be
able
to
produce
water
at
anywhere
near
the
required
rate
or
perhaps
no
water
at
all.
Although
these
processes
also
affect
open-hole
bedrock
wells,
they
can
manifest
themselves
in
some-
what
different
ways,
but
the
effect
is
still
the
same
-
the
pathway
of
water
into
the
well
and
the
pump
becomes
restricted
and
well
production
is
reduced
over
time.
While
these
are
natural
processes
occurring
in
all
wells,
they
can
be
managed
through
properly
timed
well
rehabilitation.
Well
rehabilitation
methods
should
be
specifically
tailored
to
the
problems
the
well
is
experiencing
and
take
into
account
groundwater
chemistry,
microbiological
parameters,
the
condition
of
the
well,
and
other
factors
-
or
the
rehabilitation
efforts
may
experience
limited
success.
So
how
do
we
know
when
to
rehabilitate
a
well?
Some
well
owners
schedule
rehabilitation
on
a
routine
basis
-
maybe
every
five
years
-
and
this
technique
can
certainly
work,
but
such
an
interval
should
be
based
on
actual
plugging
rates
expe-
rienced
in
the
well,
otherwise
intervals
between
rehabilitation
may
be
too
long,
resulting
in
the
need
for
more
aggressive
and
more
expensive
techniques
to
restore
well
performance.
By
employing
a
well
health
check
process
that
takes
into
account
the
condition
of
the
well
and
its
primary
plugging
factors
established
by
video
logging,
analytical
data,
bacterial
loads,
and
well
design,
an
effective
rehabilitation
program
can
be
designed
for
the
well
that
will
have
the
greatest
chance
of
success
in
restoring
and
maintaining
well
performance.
By
per-
forming
the
rehabilitation
when
well
conditions
indicate,
the
cost
of
each
rehabilitation
can
be
reduced
while
at
the
same
time
allowing
the
well
to
maintain
a
long
productive
life,
free
from
the
problems
of
neglect.

Japan
Invests
in
Geothermal
Exploration
Compiled

Japan's
government
has
decided
to
take
the
reins
on
developing
the
country’s
geothermal
power
resources.
Although
Japan
ranks
third
in
the
world
for
geothermal
resources,
behind
the
U.S.
and
Indonesia,
development
of
geothermal
resources
has
struggled.
No
stranger
to
geothermal
power,
the
country’s
first
geothermal
plant
opened
in
1924,
and
the
first
commercial
geothermal
plant
opened
in
1952.
However,
the
country
has
only
developed
about
2%
of
its
geothermal
resources.
Japan
has
stated
it
wants
to
produce
22-24%
of
its
electricity
needs
from
renewable
sources
by
2030,
and
geothermal
power
seems
to
b
e
the
answer. Unfortunately,
the
cost
of
exploration
has
taken
its
toll
on
exploration
companies
and
they
are
calling
on
the
government
to
help
move
things
along.
Until
recently,
drilling
to
determine
whether
conditions
are
right
for
geothermal
power
development
was
left
to
private
developers.
This
test-
ing
takes
years
to
conduct
and
costs
millions
of
dollars
without
any
guar-
antees
of
production.
Although
state
subsidies
cover
part
of
the
cost,
companies
have
called
for
greater
national
involvement.
State-owned
JOGMEC
(Japan
Oil,
Gas
and
Metals
National
Corporation)
is
developing
several
methods
to
locate
viable
geothermal
resources
using
technology
from
the
gas
and
oil,
as
well
as
the
mining
industries.
It
has
decided
to
assist
Japanese
companies
with
surveys
on
geothermal
resources
by
subsidizing
part
of
the
survey
cost
to
de-
termine
the
influence
on
the
surrounding
environment.
The
extensive,
high-precision
surveys
use
airborne
geophysical
technology
by
a
heli-
copter.
Expenses
for
the
high-risk
initial
surveys,
such
as
surface
survey,
geophysical
exploration,
and
well
drilling
surveys
in
potential
areas
for
geothermal
resources
will
also
be
subsidized.
With
about
80%
of
the
country’s
geothermal
resources
located
in
national
and
local
parks,
approval
for
drilling
requires
coordinating
with
various
levels
of
government,
from
local
authorities
to
the
Environment
Ministry.
JOGMEC
plans
to
help
fund
environmental
assessments
and
monitoring
surveys
to
develop
geothermal
resources
in
harmony
with
the
natural
environment
and
hot
springs.
The
company
will
begin
conducting
test
bores
for
geothermal
projects
this
year;
including
work
to
help
reduce
the
regulatory
issues
associated
with
exploration
drilling
efforts.
This
may
encourage
geothermal
power
plants
to
come
online
quicker.
Currently,
going
from
test
bores
to
a
working
geothermal
plant
can
take
a
decade
or
more.

the
Utah
Department
of
Natural
Resources;
state,
district,
and
field
office
per-
sonnel
from
the
Bureau
of
Land
Management;
Millard
County
commissioners;
and
the
permitting
team
for
Crystal
Peak.
The
company
is
focused
on
the
production
of
premium
specialty
fertilizers
and
con-
trols,
directly
or
through
agreement,
mineral
leases
on
more
than
124,000
acres
on
the
Sevier
Playa
in
Millard
County,
Utah.
With
a
brine
mineral
resource
known
to
contain
potassium,
magnesium,
sulfate,
and
other
beneficial
minerals,
Crystal
Peak
is
targeting
the
production
of
specialty
fertilizers
and
associated
products
through
the
use
of
brine
extraction
and
a
solar
evaporation
process.
Sulfate
of
Potash
(SOP)
and
other
specialty
fertilizers
are
used
in
the
production
of
high-value,
chloride-sen-
sitive
crops
such
as
tree
nuts,
fruits,
and
vegetables.
The
proposed
mining
method
for
the
collection
of
naturally
occurring
brine
from
the
sedimentary
basin
of
the
Sevier
Playa
will
involve
a
combination
of
stepped
extraction
trenches
and
drilled
wells
to
collect
the
subsurface
brine.
The
mine
design
will
consist
of
a
brine
extraction
system
of
canals,
trenches,
and
wells;
recharge
system
of
canals,
collectors,
and
trenches;
a
series
of
evaporation
ponds;
and
a
tail-
ing
management
area.
John
Mansanti,
CEO
of
Crystal
Peak
said,
“The
signing
of
the
ROD
is
the
most
important
milestone
in
this
company’s
history.
As
one
of
the
few
greenfield
SOP
projects
approved
in
the
world,
we
are
absolutely
thrilled.
Securing
the
ROD
initiates
an
exciting
phase
for
the
company.
We
look
forward
to
a
number
of
important
announcements
in
the
coming
months
in
relation
to
financing,
offtake,
and
the
project.”
Upon
receipt
of
funding
and
com-
pletion
of
detailed
engineering,
Crystal
Peak
will
be
in
a
position
to
begin
con-
struction
this
year.

The
19th
Pennsylvania
Drilling
and
Blasting
Conference
was
held
November
14-15,
2019,
at
the
Penn
Stater
Hotel
&
Conference
Center,
located
on
the
college
campus
in
State
College,
Pennsylvania.
The
event
is
held
every
two
years,
and
keeps
getting
better.
The
focus
of
the
conference
is
education
-
both
in
the
general
sessions
and
chatter
in
the
exhibit
hall.
Attendees
are
looking
to
get
continuing
education
credit
hours
and
hear
about
the
latest
and
greatest
the
industry
has
to
offer.
J
oe
Flick,
the
director
of
the
Miner
Training
Program
at
Penn
State
University,
got
the
program
started
by
welcoming
all
attendees
then
outlined
what
the
confer-
ence
was
offering.
Presentations
included
How
Technology
has
Changed
Blasting;
Blast
Complaints
in
Proper
Perspective;
Data
Analytics
and
Better
Blast
Reporting;
and
Basic
Drill
Principles
and
Costing.
East
West
Drilling
and
Epiroc
provided
out-
door
rig
displays.
With
over
50
exhibitors
set
to
display
their
products
and
answer
questions,
we
were
all
in
for
a
day
and
a
half
of
education
and
hands-on
learning.
The
weather
was
uncommonly
cold
for
this
time
in
November.
An
early
winter
snow-
storm,
followed
by
some
bitter
cold
temperatures
in
the
beginning
of
the
week,
kept
some
people
from
attending.
The
Penn
Stater
is
a
friendly
place
for
drilling
and
blasting
professionals
to
gather.
If
you
are
traveling
from
outside
the
area,
the
state
has
many
activities
to
engage
in
besides
chocolate.
The
geographical
formation
in
Pennsylvania
affords
ample
drilling
and
blasting
opportunities.
This
well-attended
and
very
successful
conference
has
a
lot
to
offer.

Resolutions
or
Change
-
that
is
the
Question!
by
Tim
Connor
Well
folks
-
another
year
is
under
the
belt
(not
literally
unless
you
eat
too
much).
A
suggestion
-
make
t
his
a
period
of
reflection
and
not
resolutions.
Why?
Over
90%
of
resolutions
are
not
kept.
Why
not?
Lack
of
discipline
.
.
.
focus
.
.
.
purpose
.
.
.
passion
.
.
.
action
.
.
.
commitment?
YES,
to
all
of
the
above.
So
why
not
try
something
different
this
year
-
spend
a
few
hours
in
reflection
and
get
to
the
root
of
your
need
for
change,
improvement,
or
at
least
find
better
excuses.
I'll
give
you
a
few
questions
to
get
you
started,
then
it's
up
to
you
to
add
more,
depending
on
your
personal
circumstances,
dreams,
goals,
or
life
purpose.
1)
What
were
some
of
your
poor
or
bad
decisions
last
year?
Why
did
you
make
them?
How
did
they
turn
out?
2)
How
about
the
good
ones?
And
why?
And
what
were
the
results?
3)
Goals
that
were
not
met?
And
why?
4)
Goals
met
and
how?
Or
why?
1
Getting
sick
of
the
whys?
Well,
nothing
will
change
unless
you
answer
the
whys.
5)
Mind-sets
or
attitudes
that
need
change,
elimination,
or
improvement.
6)
Circumstances
you
didn't
expect,
and
were
not
prepared
for.
7)
Unexpected
blessings
or
gifts
(not
stuff)
you
received.
8)
Behaviors
which
may
be
sabotaging
your
success
and/or
happiness.
9)
Something
you
need
to
let
go
of
or
surrender
to.
10)
New
people
in
your
life
who
are
getting
in
the
way
of
your
journey.
11)
New
people
in
your
life
who
are
accelerating
your
journey.
12)
Personal
habits
that
are
having
a
negative
impact
on
your
life.
13)
Relationships
that
need
to
be
reevaluated,
and
why?
14)
Decisions
not
made,
and
why
not?

WorldWide

Tim
Rasmussen
Every
year
there
seems
to
be
differ-
ent
challenges.
For
several
years
we
h
ave
used
a
shipping
agent
in
Quebec,
Canada.
His
prices
are
reasonable
and
the
service
has
been
excellent.
This
year,
there
was
a
snag.
Everything
seemed
normal
at
first.
The
truck
was
ordered,
came,
loaded,
and
left.
We
received
an
invoice
for
$5700
or
so
for
the
shipping,
then
immediately
sent
a
wire
transfer.
Several
days
later,
our
agent
inquired
about
the
payment.
We
began
to
track
it
back
from
our
end.
Our
bank
maintained
they
had
sent
it
to
the
bank
in
Canada.
The
shipper’s
bank
maintained
they
had
not
received
it.
So
where
was
the
money?
There
was
no
way
to
easily
find
out.
Finally,
we
sent
a
check
by
mail
and
made
a
demand
to
refund
the
wire
transfer.
This
seemed
to
wake
someone
up,
and
the
money
mysteriously
appeared
in
the
Canadian
bank.
Now
there
was
an
overpayment
to
refund!
The
best
we
could
find
out
was
some
intermediary
bank
had
a
question
about
something
and
just
held
the
funds.
Somehow
the
request
for
a
refund
shook
loose
the
answer.
Sounds
like
they
have
been
taking
lessons
from
Guatemala
-
when
in
doubt,
do
nothing.
One
of
the
important
donations
last
summer
was
a
large
air
compressor
for
use
with
the
Mayhew.
It
is
larger
than
we
need,
but
should
be
able
to
run
at
low
speeds
and
easily
supply
all
the
air
to
do
air
rotary
drilling.
The
compressor
made
it
through
the
customs
process
without
seri-
ous
difficulty.
Edgar
finished
training
with
HydroLOGICA
and
made
it
safely
home.
He
was
happy
to
be
back
in
Guatemala
after
this
eye-opening
trip.
This
was
the
first
time
he
had
been
out
of
the
country,
and
it
was
a
huge
experience
for
him.
When
he
was
with
HydroLOGICA,
he
got
to
work
with
large,
new,
top-of-the-line
rotary
rigs.
Our
old
Mayhew
looks
worn
and
small
to
him
now,
but
he
is
anxious
to
put
the
rig
to
work
using
his
newly
acquired
knowledge.
Gary
and
Jon
went
down
to
Guatemala
and
made
progress
scouting
out
new
locations
for
wells
this
coming
season.
Henry
had
obtained
the
applications
and
made
the
initial
contacts
to
find
suitable
locations.
At
present,
there
are
ten
loca-
tions
which
seem
promising.
Once
again,
Water
For
Life
is
getting
ready
for
a
new
drilling
season.
If
you
have
rotary
skills
and
want
to
do
some-
thing
different,

Researchers
Examine
the
Age
of
Egypt’s
Groundwater
Adapted
from
Information
by
t
he
University
of
Delaware
Egypt’s
Nile
River
is
known
as
the
longest
river
in
the
world. Fed
by
rainfall
from
the
mountainous
areas
in
the
Ethiopian
highlands,
the
river
has
been
used
for
centuries
as
a
source
of
water
for
the
area’s
inhabitants.
However,
once
you
leave
the
Nile
River
Valley,
water
is
scarce
and
groundwater
becomes
the
only
freshwater
source
available.
Knowing
how
much
water
is
in
the
aquifer
and
how
long
it
takes
to
recharge
is
vital
to
the
Egyptian
authorities.
They
are
interested
in
learning
the
best
way
to
keep
up
with
the
increased
demand
from
population
growth,
irrigation,
and
agricultural
needs,
especially
since
the
country’s
population
is
expected
to
double
by
2050.
Scientists
with
the
University
of
Delaware
(UD)
are
working
on
a
project
to
examine
the
recharge
rate
of
Egypt’s
aquifers
in
addition
to
learning
more
about
the
origin
and
age
of
the
groundwater.
The
project,
led
by
doctoral
candidate
Mahmoud
Sherif
and
Neil
Sturchio
from
UD,
along
with
Mohamed
Sultan
from
Western
Michigan
University,
included
collecting
29
samples
from
different
wells
throughout
the
country.
Using
the
radioactive
isotope
chlorine-36,
they
were
able
to
calculate
the
estimated
age
of
the
water.
Sturchio,
who
is
also
professor
and
chair
of
the
Department
of
Geological
Sciences
in
UD’s
College
of
Earth,
Ocean,
and
Environment,
said
although
Egypt’s
Eastern
Desert
is
dry
and
arid,
it
gets
more
rain
than
the
Western
Desert.
Researchers
were
interested
to
learn
if
the
groundwater
in
the
Eastern
Desert
is
younger
than
water
in
the
Western
Desert,
and
they
were
amazed
by
what
they
discovered.
“In
the
shallow
aquifers
you
would
expect
young
water,
perhaps
50-100
years
old,
because
it’s
coming
down
as
rain
and
flowing
out
towards
the
Nile
Valley,”
said
Sturchio.
“But
in
some
of
these
aquifers,
Mahmoud
found
water
that’s
ap-
parently
200,000
years
old.”
The
water
probably
isn’t
actually
200,000
years
old,
but
the
fact
it
appears
that
way
indicates
older
water
from
the
Nubian
Aquifer
is
able
to
travel
along
faults
in
the
rocks
where
it
mixes
in
with
the
younger
shallow
water,
carrying
some
of
the
older
chlorine
isotopes
with
it.
“When
we
quantify
the
amount
of
water
in
the
shallow
aquifer,
we
have
to
consider
the
water
coming
up
from
the
deeper
aquifer,”
said
Sherif.
“It’s
an
additional
source
and
instead
of
drilling
very
deep
wells,
which
is
very
expensive,
the
[Egyptian
government]
won’t
have
to.
They
can
reduce
the
cost.”
Sturchio
mentioned
even
though
Egypt
is
lucky
to
get
so
much
water
from
the
Nile,
there
is
only
so
much
that
can
be
taken
out.
“The
young
groundwater
that
comes
down
as
rain
and
takes
about
50
to
100
years
to
flow
to
the
Nile,
is
being
used
for
irrigation
in
some
places.
But
some
of
the
water
they’re
pumping
out
comes
from
the
much
older
groundwater
in
[the]
aquifer
underneath,”
he
stated.
“You
really
want
to
know
how
much
of
that
water
you
can
pump
out
before
you’re
over-pumping
it
and
using
it
up
too
fast.
You
don’t
want
to
pump
it
out
faster
than
it
can
replenish
itself,
ideally.
Knowing
the
groundwater
age
is
part
of
the
basis
for
developing
a
good
strategy
for
using
it.”

More
Natural
Gas
than
Expected
Thanks
to
Directional
Drilling
Adapted
from
Information
by
the
United
States
Geological
Survey
According
to
the
latest
assessment
by
the
U.S.
Geological
Survey
(USGS),
the
Marcellus
Shale
and
Point
Pleasant-Utica
Shale
Formations
contain
much
more
natural
gas
than
originally
estimated.
The
area
is
expected
to
hold
214
trillion
cubic
feet
of
undiscovered,
technically
recoverable
contin-
uous
resources
of
natural
gas,
nearly
twice
as
much
as
previous
estimates.
“Watching
our
estimates
for
the
Marcellus
rise
from
2
trillion,
to
84
trillion,
to
97
tril-
lion,
in
under
20
years,
demonstrates
the
effects
American
ingenuity
and
new
technology
can
have,”
said
USGS
Director
Jim
Reilly.
“Knowing
where
these
resources
are
located,
and
how
much
exists,
is
crucial
to
ensuring
our
nation’s
energy
independence.”
The
Marcellus,
Point
Pleasant,
and
Utica
are
extensive
formations
covering
parts
of
Kentucky,
Maryland,
New
York,
Ohio,
Pennsylvania,
Virginia,
and
West
Virginia.
Previous
calculations
were
much
lower.
In
2011,
the
USGS
estimations
for
the
Marcellus
Shale
were
around
of
84
trillion
cubic
feet;
while
the
2012
numbers
for
the
Utica
Shale
hovered
around
38
trillion
cubic
feet
of
natural
gas.
Since
those
assessments,
significant
amounts
of
natural
gas
have
been
produced
from
both
formations,
thanks
primarily
to
directional
drilling
and
hydraulic
fracturing.
Walter
Guidroz,
program
coordinator
for
the
USGS
Energy
Resources
Program
said,
“Since
our
assessments
in
2011
and
2012,
industry
has
improved
upon
their
develop-
ment
techniques
for
continuous
resources
like
the
shale
gas
in
the
Appalachian
Basin.
That
technological
advancement,
plus
all
of
the
geological
information
we’ve
gained
from
the
last
several
years
of
production,
have
allowed
us
to
greatly
expand
our
understand-
ing
of
these
formations.”
So,
what
does
it
mean
when
they
say
undiscovered,
technically
recoverable
resources
?
Undiscovered
resources
are
believed
to
exist
based
on
geology
and
other
data,
but
they
haven’t
been
proven
to
exist
by
drilling
or
other
means.
Technically
recoverable
resources,
are
resources
which
can
be
produced
using
today’s
standard
industry
practices
and
technology.

Shale

Pleasant-Utica

The
“Idiots”
Corner
b
y
“Billy
Bob
Smith”
New
Year’s
Resolution
or
Just
Stupid
Stuff
As
we
start
a
new
year,
so
many
people
create
lists
of
do’s
and
don’ts
and
New
Year’s
(you
know
what).
I
thought
it
would
be
appropriate
to
share
a
few
of
the
things
I
have
observed
this
past
year
in
terms
of
how
some
idiots
-
feel,
think,
act,
decide,
and
believe.
Here
are
just
a
few
really
dumb
things
people
do
or
say
each
year:
1
Quitting
and
giving
up.
1
Expecting
everyone
you
meet
will
like
you
is
dumb.
1
B
elieving
your
every
decision
will
work
out
well
or
successful.
1
T
ailgating
at
70
miles
per
hour
and
expecting
to
never
get
in
an
accident.
1
Saying
nothing
but
nasty
things
about
others
and
wondering
why
you
don’t
have
a
lot
of
friends.
1
Acting
like
you
are
always
the
smartest
person
in
the
room.
1
Praying
for
stuff
and
then
just
waiting
and
doing
nothing.
1
Haven’t
read
a
book
in
years,
never
attended
a
seminar,
and
wondering
why
you
are
not
getting
a
raise
or
promotion.
1
Going
through
life
with
no
goals,
no
plans,
and
no
ambition.
1
Acting
like
the
world
owes
you
just
because
you
come
from
a
special
set
of
circumstances.
1
Every
day
-
smoking
two
packs
of
cigarettes,
drinking
a
six-pack
of
beer,
and
chowing
down
on
a
few
thousand
calories
a
day
and
wondering
why
you
have
health
problems.
1
Living
every
day
worrying
about
everything,
fearing
anything,
and
your
doctor
says
you
have
physical
conse-
quences
of
stress.
Go
figure!
Want
more???
Got
a
few
of
your
own???
Okay,
just
a
couple
that
might
make
you
laugh
or
at
least
smile:
1
Spending
more
time
on
your
cell
phone
than
talking
to
your
spouse
or
kids.
1
Treating
employees
like
crap
and
wondering
why
you
have
high
turnover.
1
Gouging
customers
and
can’t
under-
stand
why
they
go
to
another
source.
1
Not
marketing
or
promoting
your
business
in
any
way
and
at
a
loss
as
to
why
you
are
losing
market
share.
1
The
last
time
you
exercised
was
when
you
were
in
high
school
and
can’t
figure
out
why
you
are
30
pounds
overweight.
