Like the residents of the Colorado Springs area, our industry too is fighting our own fire of sorts. It is a fire of regulations that is being fraught upon us by government.

Like those fighting the Colorado fires, oil and gas producers, organizations, investors, corporations, etc. from all over the country need to work together to fight these regulations.

Cart, Poland Brian Coblentz, Millersburg on the last day of service by Governor Kasich. Mark Conway, Wooster Todd Dever, Cambridge In the order, Kasich cited his reason for reinstituting a ban on Lake Erie production. Steven Downey, Charleston, WV Specifically, he mentioned the need to provide certainty for the area’s economy and Barry Ferguson, Columbus Frank W. Gonzalez, Canton environment. James R.

Greg Mason, Coshocton Timothy McNutt, North Canton Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols noted the importance of the “in or under” language *Jack K. Miller, Wooster John W. Miller, Canton of the Executive Order. This distinction would prevent the ODNR from issuing Jeff Moore, Stow horizontal drilling permits from shore to extract oil or natural gas from the lakebed. Gregory New, Beloit Richard C. Poling, Somerset The original ban on Lake Erie exploration was created by Governor Bob Taft during Dan Pottmeyer, Zanesville Scott Rotruck, Oklahoma City, OK his two terms as Ohio governor, ending when Taft left office in 2007. Congress had D. Eric Smith, Winesburg previously banned Lake Erie production even before Governor Taft’s executive order. Mark A. Sparr, Wooster Ralph W. Talmage, Columbus The ban, which was has a long history of advocacy by environmental interest, received Benjamin H. Thomas, Marietta Sarah J. Tipka, Dover a measured level of support from environmentalists and a state legislator. The Howard J. Wenger, Dalton Ohio Environmental Council praised the move, stating that the order carries legal significance should the federal ban be removed by Congress. Honorary Trustees Leo Altier, Corning Another environmental group took the ban as a first step to protect Ohio from Jeffrey J.A. Baker, Westerville William Bennett, Wooster drilling. “Today, Governor Kasich stepped forward to protect Lake Erie from the R. Gene Brasel, Middleport perils of gas drilling,” stated Julian Boggs, advocate for Environment Ohio. “Now we Charles E. Call, Stow James H. Cameron, Zanesville need a moratorium on fracking to protect the rest of Ohio.” *Steven L. Grose, Hartville Alan W. Jones, Mt. Gilead Finally, State Representative Nickie Antonio (D-Lakewood) applauded the Governor’s Jerry D. Jordan, Columbus order, but stated more needed to be done. “While I applaud Gov. Kasich for issuing Kirk A. Jordan, Sarasota, FL *William G. Kinney, Twinsburg this executive order which bans drilling in Lake Erie, Ohio needs a long-term Edgar W. McCauley, Newark solution,” said Rep. Antonio in a statement. She went on to note that legislation she James C.

OOGEEP State Science Day

The Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program proudly acknowledged students from across the state as winners of their award at the 2012 State Science Day competition. Since 1949, State Science Day has been the pinnacle of student originated and inquiry- based science education. It is the academic equivalent of a state athletic championship, and is one of the largest of its kind in the nation. During the event, aspiring young scientists, grades 5 – 12, competed for more than $4.3 million dollars in awards and scholarships.

To qualify for one of OOGEEP’s awards, the students were judged on their scientific research, communication skills, and their outstanding work or knowledge about natural gas and/ or crude oil in the areas of geology, engineering, chemistry, biology and physics. OOGEEP presented the winners with cash prizes and certificates. To date, OOGEEP has presented over 105 awards to students representing 77 Ohio schools from 67 cities and 39 counties.

OOGEEP Foundation Scholarships Awarded

The Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program and the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Foundation’s (Foundation) Scholarship Committee announced that 35 students were awarded scholarships. To date, OOGEEP and the Foundation has awarded 108 scholarships representing students from 28 Ohio cities, 19 counties, and 10 different colleges or universities.

To be eligible for the annual scholarship, students must have an energy career goal and are required to be either an Ohio resident or planning to attend an Ohio college or university. The students are judged on career goals, essays, letters of recommendation, academic achievement, awards or special recognitions, community service and other outside activities.

The 2012 Scholarships were primarily funded through the industry training proceeds, special contributions from Buckeye Oil Producing Co., Chesapeake Energy Corp., Phillip and Linda Dever and Doris and Floyd Kimble Foundation were greatly appreciated.

OOGEEP Oilfield Emergency Response Training Workshops

The Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program’s Responding to Oilfield Emergencies Training Workshops Spring Series were held March 31 - April 1, April 28 - 29, and May 19 - 20, 2012.

Ohio took the lead in the U.S. by creating and implementing the nation’s first Oilfield Emergency Response Training program more than 12 years ago and features both classroom education and hands-on training with natural gas and crude oil props. OOGEEP’s permanent training facility is located within the Wayne County Fire & Rescue Regional Fire School, in Applecreek, Ohio. To date, over 865 Ohio emergency responders from 40 Ohio counties, and 7 other states have participated in OOGEEP’s unique training program. The training program is voluntarily funded 100% by Ohio’s natural gas and crude oil industry. Thank you for your continued support of this program.

OOGEEP Spring/ Summer Industry Training Series

The Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program hosted the Spring/ Summer 2012 Industry Training Series on May 31 - June 1, and June 12 - 13, 2012. The two day event began with IADC Rig Pass with SafeLand USA Training. The International Association of Drilling Contractors Rig Pass program provided participants with a renewed outlook on safety, health, and environmental issues.

Each participant received a unique identification card that was individually numbered and entered into the national data base, along with the IADC Rig Pass participant guide. Day two consisted of an H2S Refresher, Hydrocarbon Monitoring Techniques, Condensate and HotWork Review and CPR/ First Aid Certification.

OOGEEP Teacher Workshop

To help foster better natural gas and crude oil energy education, the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program (OOGEEP) designed and developed a specific education curriculum that meets both state and national science standards. The goal of these workshops are to connect science education to the energy industry. Over the past decade, there have been over 3,000 teachers from across Ohio that have participated in one of OOGEEP’s workshops, impacting thousands of Ohio students each year.

OOGEEP hit a milestone this year, teachers from all 88 counties have now participated in an OOGEEP Teacher Workshop. During the workshops, each teacher received resource materials, classroom supplies, lesson plans, posters, DVDs, maps, CEU credits, optional Ashland University graduate credit, science standards, benchmark connections, internet links and activities. The six learning stations include hands-on experiments, background information, industry guest speakers, graphic organizer, internet activities and career connections. The free teacher workshops are funded 100% by Ohio’s natural gas and crude oil producers.

OOGEEP’s most recent two day teacher workshop was held at Marietta College on June 13 - 14, 2012. Guest Speakers included: Rhonda Reda, OOGEEP, Steve Zody, Zody Geosciences, Sarah Tipka, A.W. Tipka Oil and Gas, Inc., Jane Hunt, Upper Arlington High School and Jeanne Gogolski, Education Partners, LLC. Marty Miller, Alliance Petroleum Corporation, helped coordinate the unique oil patch field trip that featured stops at Ken Miller Oil Supply (Scott Craycraft and Troy Poling), Ohio Oil Gathering’s Bells Run Station (Bob Gerst), Dominion’s Ludlow Compressor Station (Larry Blake), and trip to Elk Oil’s cable tool rig and shackle line (Roger Eddy). Thanks to everyone for making this event another great industry success!

Due to lengthy wait lists, OOGEEP has added additional Teacher Workshops in 2012. The next workshops are August 8 - 9, at Belmont Harrison Career Technical Center in St. Clairsville, Ohio and September 24, at Renaissance Hotel during the Eastern Section of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists meeting in Cleveland, Ohio.
