R.M. Baker, & D. L. Passmore. (2012, August 16). Cracking the ethane cracker. Invited presentation at the 2012 WIB Symposium, “Innovation through Integration: Re-Inventing the Workforce System,” sponsored by the Pennsylvania Association of Workforce Investment Boards, State College, Pennsylvania. (see http://pawib2012.tumblr.com)
Shell Chemical LP, a petrochemical unit of Royal Dutch Shell, signed a land purchase option agreement with Horsehead Corporation, a producer of specialty zinc and zinc-based products and a recycler of electric arc furnace dust, to evaluate a site in western Pennsylvania for a potential petrochemical complex. The site is located in Potter and Center Townships in Beaver County near Monaca, Pennsylvania, which is 40 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
The site currently houses a Horsehead’s plant for zinc products and contains the only electrothermic zinc refining facility in the Western Hemisphere. If the land purchase option is exercised, Horsehead Corporation will vacate the Monaca facility by April 2014.
Shell’s plans for the complex include an ethane cracker that would process ethane feedstock from “wet” Marcellus Shale gas to supply ethylene for a wide variety of intermediate sales to industries and for final end use in manufactured products. “Cracking” involves heating and separating the large hydrocarbon chains found in fossil fuels such as natural gas and petroleum into lighter hydrocarbons such as ethane.
In this workshop, a report by the American Chemical Council (ACC) [Shale Gas and New Petrochemicals Investment: Benefits for the Economy, Jobs, and US Manufacturing] of the potential static U.S. job and tax impacts of ethane production is examined. Then, the results are presented from an analysis prepared by researchers from Penn State’s Institute for Research in Training & Development (IRTD) of the potential dynamic economic and demographic impacts of the Royal Dutch Shell petrochemical complex planned for western Pennsylvania. Special attention is paid to the implications that these impacts estimated by ACC and the IRTD hold for regional workforce development in Pennsylvania.
Meeting 2,970 terawatt-hours of electricity
Electricity requirements are estimated to increase by more than 91% through 2040, reaching over 2,970 terawatt-hours. That means that the region will need to add nearly 1,500 TWh to its current production.
Meeting these electricity needs will require the equivalent of planning, building, and maintaining eighteen hydropower stations the size of Paraguay-Brazil’s Itaipu (the third largest worldwide).

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

CHAIRMAN’S CORNER
Flo Akintunji
SPE-PB Chairman 2018-2019
What a ride!
When I moved to Midland from Houston four years ago, it was supposed to be a short stint. Sure, I would come
here, gain some valuable experience, and then quickly depart for “greener pastures”. Well, I have since gotten
married, bought a house, had a child, and my wife and I are planning our future here in Midland! My experience is
not unique. Many people I have come across in the Permian Basin share a similar sentiment: “we came kicking and
screaming, and we will leave kicking and screaming.” Out here, we have some of the best people I have come
across in my time in the oil patch. As a result, I believe our SPE-PB section is as good as any other section.
Under the leadership of our immediate past Chairman, Kyle Richter, and the section’s board of directors, we
accomplished several goals last year including the following: Inaugural Frac month in February which had over 360
people in attendance across all events; Energy4Me presentations which involved section members teaching over
400 elementary school children about Energy at four local public schools; and $91,000 awarded to deserving
students for scholarships at our awards banquet. As we kickoff this new section year, we aim to build on these
successes, as well as continue disseminating the most up to date technical information to our members. In
addition, be on the lookout for our SPE Cares Initiatives– co-founded by our very own section member, Yogashri
Pradhan. “It is a community service initiative aimed at promoting, supporting and participating in charitable,
education, humanitarian and social community services at the Section and Student Chapter’s level.” More details
are included inside this newsletter.
We start off the fall schedule with a social event at the Petroleum Club on August 16th from 5:30pm to 7:30pm.
Please come to this free event to network, socialize, and have fun! Two free drinks and appetizers will be
sponsored by Locus Bio-Energy Solutions, Brigade Energy Services, Flotek Industries, and Cogent Energy Services.
There is limited space so RSVP here as soon as possible: https:spepbsocial.bpt.me. In September, we have the
following two events at The Petroleum Club:
Robert Hawkes, Distinguished Lecturer presenting on “Fluid imbibition – Hydraulic fracture flowback
dynamics.” Please RSVP here: https://sep2018.bpt.me/
Liquids-Rich Basins Conference - North America. Keynote speaker, Clay Gaspar, President and COO of WPX
Energy.
Finally, consider the following – Permian Basin oil production currently exceeds all OPEC nations except Saudi
Arabia, Iran, and Iraq. Permian Basin oil production is expected to grow to 3.7 million bopd by the end of the year,
and 5.4 million bopd by 2023. Several pipeline projects underway are expected to add 2 million bopd outbound
capacity from the Permian Basin and are expected to be completed by 2019 and 20% of the active drilling rigs in
the world are working in the Permian Basin. From these, we can surmise that we have achieved a tremendous
amount, but also have many challenges yet to be overcome. Like we have done since this shale renaissance began,
there is no doubt in my mind that the professionals working here, and across the US, will solve all these problems!
I sure am excited to be here in the Permian, the most prolific basin in the World!

Abstract:
Multi-stage unconventional hydraulic fracturing treatments require pumping large volumes of water based fluids.
As the industry continues to develop extremely low permeability reservoirs increasingly larger water based fluid
treatments are being pumped. These large treatments also lead to varying flowback issues ranging from high to
low load fluid recoveries. In many cases, either by design or controlled by operational restrictions, wells can
undergo weeks or months of shut-in following these very large treatments. In most cases, these shut-in wells have
demonstrated significant upticks in production resulting in some operators reporting an enhancement to
hydrocarbon recovery. The reasons for the low and inefficient water recovery after fracturing are only now being
understood. Some researchers believe that low water recovery is due to water retention in secondary fractures or
unstable displacement and gravity segregation in fractures. Others believe the retained water in the reservoir can
leak-off into the rock matrix due to water imbibition. Yet, in many cases, there are no negligible effects on long
term productivity. The dynamics of shut-in time permits the imbibition process to evolve; allowing water to move
deeper into the water-wet/clay-rich formation. This results in lower water saturation and a corresponding higher
gas/oil relative permeability near the fracture surface. In contrast, if the well is not shut-in, capillary forces are
balanced by viscous forces, thereby trapping water at much higher saturations around the fractures and reducing
hydrocarbon flow potential.

On May 22, 2018, the SPE Young Professionals in Midland received a presentation from Stephen Robertson
with the Permian Basin Petroleum Association (PBPA). The PBPA is a regional trade association that advocates
for safe and responsible oil and gas development in the Permian Basin. Mr. Robertson works out of PBPA’s
headquarters in Midland, but the association also has offices in Austin and Santa Fe.
The main message of Mr. Robertson’s presentation was that along with the growing production realized in the
Permian Basin in the last decade (which includes a tripling of oil production and at least a doubling of natural
gas production), come industry created hurdles and increased threats from those opposed to oil and gas
operations. In particular, Mr. Robertson highlighted the growing infrastructure concerns including those
dealing with water, roads, electrical transmission and distribution, and pipeline takeaway capacity. He also
discussed the conservation efforts of the industry and those throughout the Permian Basin in regards to
several species touted by environmental groups as needing protection from the federal government, which
could greatly curtail any kind of development whether it be oil and gas, agriculture, the growth of
communities, or even the installation of wind and solar farms.
With the Permian Basin on pace to grow production even further, possibly to above six million barrels of crude
per day within the next five to ten years, threats to the industry, in particular from “keep it in the grounders”
who desire a hydrocarbon free world, continue to increase. Mr. Robertson left the SPE Young Professionals
with hope, however, that by working together and utilizing the tools and resources we have available, we can
not only continue to increase production in the Permian Basin, but we can do so in a safe and responsible way
that not only benefits ourselves and our communities, but the security of our nation as well.

The Completions & Operations study group hosted a panel discussion on July 19th at the Midland Petroleum Club with over
100 people in attendance. The panel consisted of Ken Beattie, COO and SVP of CrownQuest, Denzil West, CEO of Admiral
Permian Resources, Steve Guthrie, SVP of Business Operations and Engineering at Concho, and Lance Robertson, COO and
SVP of Development at Endeavor Energy Resources. The panel first tackled the question of “What are the benefits of West
Texas based companies.” The consensus of the discussion was that the relationships with the community were stronger if
the company was head-quartered in West Texas rather than from out of town, and each of the panelists mentioned their
desire for their companies and employees to be involved with the community. Additionally, it was brought up that equity
markets sometimes prefer West Texas based companies.
The next question was “How do you see the future of the industry with respect to the Permian.” The panelists discussed that
while it is hard to predict the next 10 years, many signs point to an increase in USA production with Permian production
driving much of that increase. The panelists mentioned their hopes to make West Texas a place where families want to live
for a long period of time, and discussed their desire to improve the infrastructure in Midland, including schools, healthcare,
and housing. A phrase tossed around by each panelist was “corporate responsibility,” meaning that it’s up to their
companies to ensure that Midland has the infrastructure to handle their company’s presence. Interestingly, one idea that
popped up was having companies donate surface rights around town for housing developments.
The last question was “what will your company do to shape the future of Midland.” The panelists mentioned the culture of
servant leadership they foster at their companies, and encourage all their employees to volunteer within the community.
The panelists discussed their involvement with the Permian Strategic Partnership, an organization comprised of 10
companies that discusses how to overcome the challenges in education, transportation, housing, and healthcare in West
Texas. Overall the panelists were optimistic that their companies could contribute to the infrastructure of West Texas, with
one company mentioning their plans to build a daycare in downtown Midland open to the public.

SPE PB section members conducted eight Energy4Me presentations to 5th graders this past May. As mentioned in
the December 2017 Pipeline newsletter, “Energy4me is SPE’s global energy-education outreach program offering
factual, unbiased resources to pre-university students, teachers, and the public through speaker programs,
teacher-development resources, and the energy4me.org website. Energy4me answers such important questions
as: How much oil is left? Is petroleum engineering the career for me? How do the different energy sources
compare with each other? And how does energy impact our daily lives?”
Many thanks to all our members who volunteered their time and contributed in making this initiative a success.
Through their efforts, we were able to present to over 400 children, at 4 different elementary schools (Bunche,
Yarbrough, Fasken, and Parker). There is already significant interest from these schools, and others, for more
presentations in the near future. So, we will be calling on our members again to volunteer their time, as we play
our part in educating our young people. Know that these presentations are prepared by SPEI and Energy4me, and
can be given in about 30 minutes. The Energy4me Kit includes a speaker’s guide, ready-to-go presentations,
videos, and interactive classroom activities for primary, intermediate, and secondary students.
Below are a few pictures of the students performing some fun activities like sucking up chocolate syrup through a
long straw to illustrate concepts like viscosity!!

Subsurface DNA Diagnostics Aid Well Spacing Decision in the
Permian
Liz Percak-Dennett, Technology Director,
Biota Technology, Inc
Abstract:
Biota Technology mission is to deploy DNA sequencing to maximize reservoir economics. The application of DNA sequencing
in the oil and gas industry provides operators with a non-invasive, high-resolution data source to track subsurface fluid move-
ment by examining subsurface DNA originating from microbial communities within the subsurface. To date, the technology
has been applied on over 300 wells in the Permian Basin resulting in over 8500 analyzed samples and 250,000 unique subsur-
face DNA markers. Deployment of this technology has resulted in increased reservoir understanding including monitoring of
drainage heights and well:well communication over time. In this presentation Dr. Liz Percak-Dennett, Technology Director at
Biota Technology will speak to Subsurface DNA Diagnostics basics, field workflow, data analysis, and provide several case
studies of practical applications in U.S. shale.

STORM™ THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE MECHANICAL ISOLATION PACKER FOR REMEDIAL AND REFRAC APPLICATIONS IN THE
PERMIAN
MorphPackers and Nine Energy Service announce first deployment of STORM™ refrac isolation packers for Chaparral Energy
in Oklahoma.
MorphPackers Limited (“MorphPackers”) and Nine Energy Service, Inc. (“Nine”) announced jointly today that they have
deployed STORM™ refrac isolation packers within a production-insert string for Chaparral Energy in Oklahoma.
Due to excessive water production from the heel of the reservoir Chaparral Energy required mechanical isolation in their 4 ½”
open-hole production tubing to return the well to oil production. A 3 ½” flush joint production-insert string fitted with full ID
STORM™ isolation packers was successfully run to TD and the packers were expanded. The well was returned to oil
production on time & budget immediately afterwards.
The patented completion system utilizes expandable steel packers specializing in isolation and includes re-frac packers and
production anchors to maximize production within existing wells. The STORM™ refrac packer provides the maximum ID in
the market to provide the most effective system to instantly isolate and re-fracture stages thus extending the life of a well.
With no moving parts STORM™ packers are easy to deploy at a fraction of the cost of expandable liners, patches and
conventional straddle systems. STORM™ packers are compatible with standard plug & perf equipment

Oil and Gas Professional:
Once again it is time for the Society of Petroleum Engineers Annual Permian Basin Golf Tournament.
The Golf Tournament is scheduled to take place on Friday, September 7th 2018, at the Hogan Park Golf
Course in Midland. Last year's tournament was a huge success. We had 404 players representing 175
different companies participate, making it one of the premier golf events in the Basin. This tournament
has historically been one of the primary sources of funds for the Permian Basin SPE Scholarship Fund.
This year we awarded a total of $91,000 in scholarships to 16 college students from our immediate area
seeking to enter into the petroleum industry. This was only possible due the terrific support of last year's
sponsors. This includes the Ed Runyan $15,000, Dick Prentice, Hoxie Smith, and the T Scott Hickman
$5000 scholarship awards.
In addition to the varying sponsorship levels, we are soliciting Ditty Bags and Door Prizes items. Our goal
is to have 500 participants so please take that into account when considering ditty bag items (500 need-
ed). If you are interested in donating any items or services, please give me a call.
This is one of the top tournaments each year in the Permian Basin and we truly hope that you and your
company choose to be part of it with the Permian Basin Section of the SPE.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUPPORT
