120-gallon fuel tanks, ordered through Rush Enterprises. Each truck came
with a 15-liter Cummins engine converted from diesel to natural gas by Westport Power. Fifty-four of the trucks haul vacuum trailers (Dragon) and the
other six carry winches for moving tanks.
In 2013 and 2014 Monroe bought 24 more trucks at a steep discount.
These, with trailers from Galyean, have dual LNG fuel tanks that double
their range.
An all-LNG fleet brought up one issue early on fueling. There werent
any fueling stations close enough to be useful, so Green Energy installed
its own.
Right now were single-sourcing the LNG from a plant Clean Energy
runs in Willis, Texas, Monroe says. We pick up the LNG there every day,
sometimes a couple of times a day, and deliver it to our five yards so our
trucks can come and go at shift time and refuel.
Maintenance was another challenge. The companys team had to
learn the new technology and work out the bugs with Peterbilt, Cummins
and Westport.

Green Energy fuels its vehicles for $2 a gallon less than the cost of diesel.
So neglecting the slightly higher capital cost of these trucks, we should always
be that lowest-cost provider, Monroe says. But we dont want to give all of
our margin away to the customer we still need to make a profit ourselves.
KEEPING TRACK OF IT ALL
With a fleet of 84 LNG-fueled vehicles, over 30 service pickup trucks and
over 500 tanks, keeping track of the equipment is important. For that, Green
Energy uses GPS technology from Geoforce.
Weve got over 600 pieces of equipment with trucks and vacuum trailers

as well as frac tanks and every one of them has a GPS tracking device, says
John Renger, vice president of operations and commercial development. With
the trucks we have real-time tracking that shows right down to the second
where its located and how fast its going.
The frac tanks get pinged twice a day so the company knows where they
are. The technology also helps in dispatching the equipment.
A dispatch tool on the GPS model allows us to pick the most readily
available, closest truck to the next location, Renger says. It works quite well
and it saves us productivity and labor dollars.
STILL A TRUCKING COMPANY
Monroe says the main goal for the company in the future is to focus on
what it knows best, and that is trucking. He admits he thought about diversifying into saltwater disposal, but the company decided against that move.
Our core business is trucking,

TRIBAL DRILLING
North Dakota Native American tribe takes an

By Cory Dellenbach
Were spending $10 million a well, so were very frugal and want to make sure we
do this right. We want to be quick here, but were not going to hurry. We want
to make sure we do this right so we have the ability to show the people,
the industry, that the Three Affiliated Tribes can operate their own wells.

1. Innovative
Good bosses have good ideas but their
role in innovation is more as facilitator than
consummate mastermind. They are not
threatened by the talent of their employees
and cultivate a working environment that
allows each persons creativity to come
forward. They facilitate innovation.
2. Coaches
Good bosses provide important
education and guidance that help employees
see how their work is contributing to the
larger goals of the organization. They
help employees build confidence by
giving stretch assignments that require
demonstration of new skills and right-sized
risk, then feedback that allows needed
course corrections to be made early enough
to avoid a major failure. When employees
do fail, good bosses encourage reflection
20
GOMC
6. Trustworthy
Good bosses are genuine, have
integrity and behave in a manner consistent
with their word and values. Employees
trust bosses they know to be intelligent,
capable and who have a demonstrated
track record of acting in their best interest.
They give and receive feedback, affirmative
and constructive.
3. Caring
Good bosses listen to their employees
and show an interest in their opinion.
They provide opportunities to talk openly,
showing interest in their employees
opinion. They encourage personal and
professional growth, sometimes by giving
access to resources and sometimes by
removing barriers.
4. Strategic
Good bosses can make hard choices
and have the finesse needed to get
people behind even sometimes unpopular
decisions. They are able to secure resources

for their employees work, and they dont throw an employee under the bus
ever. They influence up by being a conduit between their employees
and higher level decision-makers, often helping their employees develop the
language and influence strategies needed to take an idea to the top of the
organization.
10. Fun
Good bosses are willing to laugh and value a work environment that
encourages meaningful relationships between colleagues. They inspire us by
making the connection from our head to our heart about the importance of
our work and our value to the company.
Heres the leadership next step: Reflect on the list and identify qualities
you are modeling. Think about where there is room for growth in your
leadership practice growth that will lead to increased levels of motivation
and engagement.

n old saying notes that when the going gets tough, the tough get
going. In the world of Canadian oil and gas production, when the
going gets tough, RyTy Developments Ltd. in Alberta also gets going,
courtesy of its fleet of off-road tracked cargo carriers, made by Foremost
Industries.
Companies like RyTy, which specializes in the off-road transport of
everything from drilling-rig sections to large pipes to heavy equipment like
cranes and bulldozers, are more likely to use a GPS unit than a mainline,
paved highway to reach the remote drilling pads and pipelines they service.
But with a fleet of equipment that includes two Nodwell FN600s, two
Nodwell TF900s and two rebuilt 1976 Husky 8 tracked carriers, there are
few places that crews from the Grande Prairie-based company cant reach.
We have the biggest fleet of off-road equipment of this size for oilfield
use in Alberta, says Shaun Lawrence, general manager of RyTy. We bought
our Huskys used and totally rebuilt them steering, tracks, motors all
that stuff. We can easily dump anywhere from $300,000 to $500,000 into
rebuilding machines like this.
The tracks alone cost $45,000 apiece, so you can spend $200,000 in a
big hurry just doing tracks, he adds. But its still cheaper than buying a new
one, which costs about $1.4 million, and rebuilt vehicles work just as well as
the new ones.

A preliminary examination
of employment data in states
related to the Marcellus Shale
play reveals that natural gas
exploration has been a strong
engine of job growth.
Robert Bruno
pointed information for his purposes. The records he used contained data for
both union and nonunion workers.
This study reaffirms that responsible domestic energy production
is fueling our economic recovery, says Louis Finkel, vice president of
the American Petroleum Institute. We need to fully embrace this energy
renaissance and develop the affordable reliable energy all Americans need
and want.
BENEFIT FOR THE TRADES
The study also takes a look at construction activity in non-shale-related
oil and gas industries and finds that if it werent for the industry, there would
be several thousand construction workers without jobs.
The study shows that non-oil and gas industry construction activity fell
by 53.7 percent since 2008, when it peaked at 14.8 million labor hours. In
2013, the eight trades highlighted in the study only generated 6.6 million
hours of labor.
At one time, 7,100 full-time construction jobs were created annually;
however, that number has dropped to 3,300 jobs.
The transformation of employment in the oil and gas industry has had
an additional virtuous effect, Bruno says. An examination of national and
relevant state unemployment data for the construction industry indicates
that if it werent for natural gas projects, the region would have experienced
substantially higher incidences of construction industry job displacement.

Case Studies
Solution
Maintenance supervisors decided to outfit the equipment with a heating system appropriate for extreme cold operation. Arctic Fox was contacted to design a
custom heating solution for this specific equipment and the operating conditions.
Result
Stand-alone heating systems were delivered, which provided fast starts and dependable operation. These systems warmed the fuel and fluids, restoring the
protection and functionality that had been lost due to the cold temperatures. 800/654-5382; www.arctic-fox.com.
Solution
The district scheduled a demo with a local product support specialist from Stanley Hydraulic Tools. At the time the district
was unaware of hydraulic trash pumps and their effectiveness. They ran the TP08 4-inch trash pump with the Stanley HP28 twin
power unit. The TP08, despite its hand-held size, is capable of pumping 800 gpm and up to 4-inch solids.
Result
The district ran the pump consistently from 7 a.m. to noon, with few breaks in operation. The slurry mixture was pumped with
ease, and the district was impressed with the performance of the hydraulics. 503/659-5660; www.stanleyhydraulics.com. GOMC

Removable, reusable weatherproof
insulation barrier protects pipes,
valves against cold
By Ed Wodalski
Designed as a low-cost alternative to expensive aluminum-clad
insulation, the flexible weatherproof barrier from Insulation Snakes
provides certified R-11 (United States) protection that can be easily
removed and replaced. The full line of original wrap ranges from the
6-inch-wide by 6-foot-long Mini Garter to the 96-inch by 40-foot-long
Maxi Bull Snake. Custom sizes are available.
The 1220 Garter (12-inch by 20-foot) removable and reusable weather
barrier, part of the Insulation Snake line of protective products, can be
spiral wrapped around pipes, vessels, tanks and valves and secured using
a Snake Strap. The wrap is made from environmentally friendly fiberglass
batting encased in a 5 mil, UV-treated polyethylene vapor barrier.
To make it removable, we recommend you use straps, says Tim
Burns, sales manager for Insulation Snakes. You can use tape, but it
sticks to the polyethylene and its hard to remove.
The Pro Snake line of wrap, designed for spiral installation, includes
starter and end straps.
Its basically the same product but now you have a strap attached,
he says.
The Pro Snake line ranges from the 12-inch-wide by 6-foot-long
PS1206-2 with 2-foot straps to the 96-inch-wide by 40-foot PS8440-10
with 10-foot straps.
A third line of pipe protecting wrap, the Sidewinder, is made for lowclearance applications or for pipes close to another pipe, building or wall.
