Proposed Obama Methane
Emissions Plan Lacks Details
The Obama administration announced a
plan to cut methane emissions from pipeline
operations but gave no specifics beyond
the federal agencies which would handle
rulemakings. The technical details of those
rulemakings and the extent of the cut of
methane emissions they seek to produce
won’t be known for some time.
While the White House said it wants nat-
ural gas industry input into the rulemakings,
transmission companies are likely to fight
any aggressive requirements for preventing
methane leaks form compressors, valves,
pneumatic controllers and other equipment,
arguing they are already doing that on their
own, voluntarily, and obtaining significant
methane reductions. Moreover, Republicans
in Congress, who now control the House
and Senate, would seek to block restrictions
perceived by the industry as unduly tough.
The only specific goal the administra-
tion set was to reduce methane emissions
from the oil and gas sector by 40-45% from
2012 levels by 2025. Methane emissions
accounted for nearly 10% of U.S. greenhouse
gas emissions in 2012, of which nearly 30%
came from the production transmission and
distribution of oil and natural gas. Emissions
from the oil and gas sector are down 16%
since 1990 and current data show significant
reductions from certain parts of the sec-
tor, notably well completions. Nevertheless,
emissions from the oil and gas sector are pro-
jected to rise more than 25% by 2025 without
additional steps to lower them.
The EPA has been edging toward an air
emissions regulation on methane for the
past few years. The agency will ostensibly
announce an initial proposal containing spe-
cifics this summer and finalize it in 2016.
That would be the kind of quick action the
agency is not known for. Rulemakings typi-
cally drag on for years.
Martin Edwards, vice president for
the Interstate Natural Gas Association of
America (INGAA), says that any EPA
action is likely to focus on newly con-
structed facilities. With regard to existing
facilities, pipeline companies are already
aggressively seeking out methane leaks
from aboveground facilities such as com-
pressors, pneumatic controllers, seals and
other equipment.
Under INGAA’s guidance, the indus-
try is developing voluntary guidelines for
Directed Inspection and Maintenance.
Edwards explains that if the EPA develops
regulations on emissions from newly built
facilities which generally require companies
to do what they are doing to stop leaks on
existing facilities, the industry would prob-
ably not have a problem with that. “It would
depend on what the level of consistency
was,” Edwards adds.
Republicans in Congress have already
warned the administration not to go too far
from that consistency. House Energy and
Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton
(R-MI) and Energy and Power Subcommittee
Chairman Ed Whitfield (R-KY) issued a
statement saying: “Studies show that while
our energy production has significantly
increased, methane emissions have continued
to decline. This is something that should be
celebrated, not bound by new red tape.”
Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), chairman of
the Senate Environment and Public Works
Committee, said much the same thing,
promising he would work toward “limiting
the red tape on our energy infrastructure and
work toward common sense solutions that
allow America to responsibly develop and
consume our natural resources.”
Republicans have shown an inclination
to block some EPA regulations, although
not with any success. In the last session
of Congress, the Republican-dominated
House passed a bill which would have
stopped the EPA from moving forward
with restrictions on carbon emissions from
electric utility generators. It was passed on
a party-line vote and never taken up by the
Democratic-controlled Senate. This year,
with the Republicans controlling the Senate,
it makes it more likely Congress would pass
a bill limiting the administration’s maneu-
vering room on methane restrictions on
interstate natural gas pipelines.
Senate to Consider
White House-Opposed
Permitting Reform Bill
Whereas Republicans in the House are
likely to make trouble for any adminis-
tration methane regulations, the White
House has promised a veto of a GOP-led
pipeline permitting reform bill. The House
passed the bill on Jan. 21 by a vote of 253-
160. The Natural Gas Pipeline Permitting
Reform Act (H.R. 161) gives the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
12 months in which to approve a pipeline
construction application.
Federal regulatory agencies with envi-
ronmental responsibilities such as the
EPA, Corps of Engineers and the Fish and
Wildlife Service would have three months
after FERC approval to approve or disap-
prove a permit for pipeline construction.
If the regulatory agency did not act within
three months after FERC approval, the proj-
ect would go forward.
The administration has promised to
veto the bill if it passes the Senate. In the
Statement of Administration Policy, the
White House said: “The administration
recognizes the need for additional energy
infrastructure and supports the timely
consideration of project applications. The
administration, however, strongly opposes
the bill because it would allow the auto-
matic approval of natural gas pipeline
projects if the FERC or other federal
agencies do not issue the required permit,
license, or approval within rigid, unwork-
able timeframes.”
The Senate will almost certainly
approve the House bill. The question is
whether the Senate will add amendments
which will attract Democratic votes. The
Republicans will need six Democrats to
get the 60 votes needed to stop a filibus-
ter, and an additional seven votes to over-
ride an Obama veto, if one is forthcoming.
The House vote was 253-169, about 20
votes short of what would be necessary to
override a veto. P&GJ

ecent polling suggests Canadians
recognize that pipelines are the saf-
est way to transport oil, that the
National Energy Board garners a
significant amount of public trust and that
Quebeckers would rather get their oil from
Alberta than Saudi Arabia. And still we
find ourselves engaged in a political debate
around public acceptance and regulation.
The recent discourse around pipelines has
focused on the regulatory process and the
NEB itself. This has led to a policy expanding
the regulatory process for two new pipelines
intended to bring Canadian oil to world mar-
kets. The changes would allow for additional
consultation and input on upstream impacts on
climate change - key considerations Canadians
want addressed. However, it’s unclear how
these new processes will be factored, along
with the NEB’s findings, into the decision that
would follow from the cabinet.Recently, in Calgary, Natural Resources
Minister Jim Carr clearly stated that the
decision ultimately will be a political one.
Not long afterward, however, comments by
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seemed to
be signaling some welcome pragmatism.
Trudeau indicated that he is responsible for
ensuring Canadian resources get to world
markets and that there does not need to be a
complete consensus on pipelines decisions.
Industry needs to trust the fairness and
predictability of this process to continue
to risk billions of private investment dol-
lars dedicated to building critical national
infrastructure projects. This lack of clarity,
potentially setting aside a stringent regu-
latory assessment and recommendations,
would erode conf idence in an over-all process essential to capital mar-kets.Enhancing the NEB’s m a n d a t e to include both climate change con-s idera t ions and compre-hensive consultation with indigenous peoples
are necessary steps. The level of resources
used in management systems, as well as a
reconsideration of the governance model, is
both timely and necessary as Canada seeks
to modernize its energy regulator. A credible,
well-funded, independent regulator, enforcing
a strong set of regulations, is essential for
public trust and business confidence.
However, Canadian values and our way
of life will not be well-served by balancing
the interests of our nation as a whole against
short-term political considerations. While
there is always room for continuous improve-
ment, Canada has a robust and rigorous
regulatory framework that has worked well
for almost 60 years. The “one project, one
review” approach places accountability for
the science and fact-based review of project
proposals in a single regulatory agency. This
is a proven model the world over.There is a deep need to have a rational
and unified, national dialogue on energy,
the environment and the economy, setting
out a long-term vision for our country. This
should start with areas where Canadians
agree — the need for a strong, diversified
economy, the need to protect the environ-
ment, and to better engage and to be fully
inclusive of First Nations considerations.
Our country will make the transition to a
more sustainable and diverse energy econo-
my. In the interim, Canadians must receive
full value for our oil and natural gas resourc-
es to ensure we can sustain our way of life
today and to fund our transition to a lower-
carbon economy in the future. This is not an
either/or conversation — we can do this.
Pipelines have been fundamental to the
development of Canada’s way of life, to our
energy sector and to Canada’s economic suc-
cess for over 60 years. The Canadian Energy
Pipeline Association (CEPA) represents 12
major pipeline companies operating 117,000
km of mainline transmission networks across
Canada. These companies transport 1.2 bil-
lion bbls of oil and almost 3 Tcf of natural
gas per year with a 99.999% safety record.
In 2015, Canada’s mainline transmission
system had zero significant incidents. That’s
why pipelines are recognized as the safest
way to transport energy and why new trans-
mission pipelines will also be safe.Author: Chris Bloomer is a geoscientist who

recently CEO of Connacher Oil and Gas Ltd. Prior
to that, he was a senior vice president and COO
and director with Petrobank Energy and Resources
Ltd. This article was originally published as a letter
to the editor of the Toronto World Telegram.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used a
speech in Vancouver, BC to a clean tech
conference on March 3 to make a direct
pitch for the expansion of Canada’s oil and
gas sector — a direction he later appeared
to dial back in response to media questions,
according to a report by the Canadian Press.
Trudeau began meetings on climate
policy with provincial and territorial pre-
miers by heralding the promise of jobs and
opportunity in a low-carbon economy. He
announced two new funds, totaling over
$125 million, to help municipalities and
spur clean innovation by promoting climate-
friendly infrastructure projects and assist
with their design.But in recognition of the growing ten-
sions bubbling just under the surface of a
country divided by natural resource wealth,
the Liberal prime minister attempted to
quarantine the divisive politics of oil sands
and pipeline expansion. “But we must con-
tinue to generate wealth from our abundant
natural resources to fund this transition
to this low-carbon economy. The choice
between pipelines and wind turbines is a
false one. We need both to reach our goal.
As we continue to ensure there is a market
for our natural resources, our deepening
commitment to a cleaner future will be a
valuable advantage.”It was not an applause line in this green
coastal city. Trudeau is in Vancouver to
make good on an election pledge to meet
with the premiers within three months
of the Paris climate conference. But his
promise to set new emissions targets for
the country and create a pan-Canadian
climate policy has morphed into finding

LEGALPERSPECTIVES
t is no secret that oil and gas producers are facing exceptionally challenging market conditions that have persisted for almost two years. Prognosticators may have different thoughts as to when oil prices will fully rebound, but it is telling of just how dire the circumstances have become when $40 a barrel is celebrated as a source of optimism. The prolonged period of depressed commodity prices has wreaked havoc in the upstream sector. This havoc, however, is no longer confined to the upstream sector and is starting to bleed into the midstream sector.By way of example, much has been written about a bankruptcy court’s recent decision to allow Sabine Oil & Gas Corp., which filed for bankruptcy in July 2015, to reject gathering agreements with two pipeline operators. That decision is still subject to appeal, but it has already raised significant concerns within the midstream about the possibility that more and more producers will seek to use Chapter 11 protections as a means to renegotiate or rid themselves of transportation agree-ments that they have entered into with pipelines. The risk to pipelines, of course, is that they stand to lose the benefit of the transportation agreements that they rely upon for revenue, and that in many cases, underpin substantial capital investment by the pipeline.
In these challenging market conditions, pipelines may be interested in acceding to efforts to renegotiate the terms of exist-ing service agreements with distressed shippers on the theory that a service agreement with a lower rate is better than no service agreement at all and an unse-cured claim in bankruptcy court. These renegotiation efforts may be affected by the regulatory status of the service pro-vider. In the high profile Sabine decision, the pipeline in the dispute is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) because gas gathering services and service pro-viders are not regulated by FERC. There is no exception, however, from FERC’s jurisdiction for oil gathering. For pipelines that are subject to FERC’s juris-diction, renegotiating a customer’s rate is not simply a commercial matter and
must be considered within the regula-tory framework within which the pipelines exist. While there are certain similarities between the way that oil and natural gas pipelines are regulated by FERC, there are also material differences that impact the flexibility that a pipeline has to renegotiate its rates when faced with a shipper’s poten-tial bankruptcy.
Pipeline Anti-Discrimination RequirementsPipelines that transport natural gas in interstate commerce are subject to FERC’s jurisdiction under the Natural Gas Act of 1938 (NGA). In contrast, pipelines that transport oil or natural gas liquids in inter-state commerce are subject to FERC’s juris-diction under the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 (ICA), a statute that was originally designed to regulate the railroad industry and later amended to also regulate oil pipelines in 1906. As a result of being gov-erned by two separate statutes, natural gas pipelines and oil pipelines are regulated dif-ferently in many material respects. Broadly speaking, natural gas pipelines are more heavily regulated than oil pipelines. The extensive regulation imposed on interstate natural gas pipelines largely stems from the fact that the NGA is a New Deal, consumer-protection statute.
In contrast, the objectives of the ICA were more limited. Rather than protect-ing consumers, the aim of the ICA was to protect businesses which relied upon rail to transport their goods from the monopo-listic practices of the railroad industry. Although the differences between the NGA and ICA result in a different regula-tory and commercial paradigm for natural gas and oil pipelines, there is at least one point of commonality that bears on how both types of pipelines apply their creditworthiness requirements and nego-tiate with distressed shippers. The point of commonality is that the NGA and the ICA prohibit natural gas and oil pipelines, respectively, from acting in an unduly discriminatory manner. In other words, natural gas pipelines and oil pipelines are prohibited from treating similarly situated shippers differently. The anti-discrimination requirements
imposed on natural gas and oil pipelines are an important consideration for pipelines that are confronted by a shipper’s bank-ruptcy. Any adjustment of an existing ship-per’s rate must be done in a manner that can be reconciled with the anti-discrimination requirements that apply to FERC-regulated pipelines. Somewhat surprisingly, while both natural gas and oil pipelines must have published rates set forth in tariffs on file at FERC, natural gas pipelines have more flex-ibility than oil pipelines to negotiate rates with their pipelines — a bit of an anomaly when one considers that as a general rule, natural gas pipelines are subject to more heavy-handed regulatory oversight than oil pipelines.
Renegotiating Rates for Natural Gas Pipeline ServiceNatural gas pipelines have minimum and maximum rates set forth in their tariffs, and pipelines are free to assess a shipper a rate within the published range. Additionally, natural gas pipe-lines may enter into what is known as “negotiated rate agreements” where a shipper agrees to pay a rate that may not be within the range set forth in a pipe-line’s tariff, subject to the requirement that the negotiated rate must be publicly filed and approved by FERC and that the shipper had the right to elect to pay the maximum rate set forth in the tariff. The ability to charge shippers a rate between a minimum and maximum tariff rate, combined with the additional optionality to use negotiated rates, provides natural gas pipelines with the ability to negotiate with distressed shippers and lower a par-ticular shipper’s rate as a means to retain that shipper’s business.
It is important to note, however, that this flexibility is not totally open-ended, as natu-ral gas pipelines are always subject to the anti-discrimination requirement that they treat similarly situated shippers the same. For example, when a natural gas pipeline has advertised a certain rate incentive for anchor shippers in an open season for a new project, the pipeline could face discrimina-tion complaints if it lowers that rate for one distressed shipper, but not other anchor shippers. Before lowering any shipper’s

Allister Langlands, who was then chief exec-
utive of Wood Group, and he approached me
about a possible acquisition of PSN by Wood

EXECUTIVEPROFILE
We want to attract and retain the best people
in the industry so it’s very necessary for us
to raise our public and professional profile.
Our track record and our skills mean we can
support every phase of customer projects
from engineering design, through construc-
tion, procedure development, to operations
and maintenance. Wood Group continues to augment
organic growth with acquisitions; we’ve
averaged about four per year over the last
10 years or so and completed five more
in 2014. My intention is to broaden and
deepen the services we provide to clients
through organic growth and acquisition.
Wood Group was an attractive buyer when
it acquired PSN four years ago because of
its sound acquisition history. It’s important
that companies want to join Wood Group.
We have extended our U.S. shale service
offering with several acquisitions, includ-
ing Elkhorn, a Wyoming-based provider of
construction services; Meester’s Welding,
a Balkan shale fabricator; and Swaggart
Brothers, a civil construction and fabrication
business. We extended our North Sea servic-
es with the acquisition of Pyeroy (now Wood
Group Industrial Services), which offers
P&GJ: Where are you from and what
led you to a career in the energy industry?
Keiller: I grew up in Jedburgh,
Scotland, a small town near the border
with England. My first business was sell-
ing newspapers; I started with one route,
then bought others from competitors and
hired my friends to work them. I grew the
business until I was supplying the entire
town and eventually sold the business to
my cousin. The money from the sale helped
fund my first year at university, where I
earned a Master of Engineering degree.
My first professional position was with
Hewlett-Packard, but I quickly realized it
wasn’t right for me: too much technology and
not enough working with people. I joined BP
on a graduate program and discovered my
passion during four years working on- and
offshore wearing a hard hat and coveralls.
P&GJ: What are some of the more
challenging and interesting projects you’ve
worked on? Keiller: While I was head of KBR’s
global production services business I realized
it didn’t fit with the wider business. So I led a
management buyout, creating PSN. We raised
over $300 million and persuaded more than
6,000 employees, 100 customers and about
ob Keiller, CEO of Wood Group, knows that merely
speaking of an organization’s core values is not even
worth talking or writing about unless you put it into
practice.Even before he was named to head the global energy
service company in November 2012 he has always made sure that any
who works for him knows that THE core value in the energy industry
starts with one word: safety. After all, if you’re a real people person,
what is more important than ensuring that your employees work in the
safest environment possible?The native Scotsman who still resides in Aberdeen with his
family has worked in the oil and gas industry for 26 years, having
graduated with a Master of Engineering degree from Heriot-Watt
University. A chartered engineer, he has worked offshore in mainte-
nance, operations and asset management for oil and gas operators.
Keiller has participated with several cross-industry organiza-
tions and projects such as chairman of the Offshore Contracting
Association (OCA) and the cross-industry trade body Oil and
Gas UK. He was a member of the UK cross-industry Step
Change in Safety Leadership Team and led the UK Helicopter
Task Group formed in 2009
to accelerate safety improve-
ments in air safety for which
he received an award.In 2007 he was named the
Scottish Businessman of the
Year and in 2009 was given the Scottish Offshore Achievement
Award for his contributions to the oil and gas industry.
In this interview, Keiller defines his core values, talks about
the restructuring and rebranding of Wood Group which was
completed last year, and the creation of a company, Production
Services Network (PSN) that he led by completing a $280 mil-
lion management buyout from Halliburton in 2006. PSN has
subsequently made the Sunday Times ‘Best Companies to Work
For’ list in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. In 2011 PSN ranked third
in the UK for employee engagement and involvement. PSN was
also in the top 10 of UK companies for employee retention.
Following the sale of PSN to Wood Group which led to the
restructuring, Keiller became CEO of Wood Group PSN in April
2011 and joined the board of John Wood Group PLC.

lines, polyurethane foam does in-fact
shield CP systems.
After collaborating with several of the
largest engineering firms, contractors
and pipeline-owning companies in North
America, PipeSak Incorporated developed
the first structured pipeline support — the
PipePillo® (Fig. 3). Engineered to address
all of the issues with traditional methods of
in-trench pipeline supports, the PipePillo
is lightweight, withstands flotation, is easy
to install, resistant to UV and varying soil
composition and pH, is softer than the
pipe coating, and will maintain pipeline
clearance for the life of the pipeline. But
perhaps its most important design feature
is that it does not impede CP systems.
To prove this, PipeSak Incorporated solic-
ited the help of Corrosion Service Company
Limited to carry out a comprehensive, unbi-
ased experiment to test and compare the
cathodic shielding effects of a PipePillo®
Structured Pipeline Pillow (SPP) and a
standard spray-in polyurethane foam sup-
port. The methodology of the experiment
was developed to test the cathodic shielding
at a variety of CP operating points using a
1.2-m long section of fusion bond epoxy
(FBE)-coated NPS24 pipe.
The pipe was instrumented with six steel
coupons to simulate holidays in the pipe

Product DevelopmentTECHNOTES
erhaps one of the most impor-
tant safe guards put in place to
maintain the long term integrity
of buried pipelines is a cathodic
protection system. Cathodic pro-
tection (CP) is an anti-corrosion
technique used to prevent the corrosion of
metals such as steel and iron in electrolyti-
cally conducting environments such as sea-
water and soils containing water.
Cathodic Shielding Effects Tested:
PipePillo® vs. Foam By Daniel Fingas, Associate Technical Director, NACE CP3 #37697,
Corrosion Service Company Limited, and Meghan Connors,
Operations Manager, PipeSak Pipeline Products and Services
Figure 2: Polyurethane spray-in foam
Figure 1: Polyurethane reformed pillow
Pcommonly referred to as cathodic shielding,
is not routinely considered one of them. It is
argued that the foam absorbs moisture over
time, making it electrically conductive and
allowing CP current to pass.
Although, in theory, this assumption
sounds feasible, Geoff Connors, president
and founder of PipeSak Incorporated,
has always maintained that, through his
experience building large-diameter pipe-
coating, with one coupon acting as a con-
trol by simulating an unshielded holiday
between the supports. The experiment was
designed to simulate an installed pipe-
line and was carried out over four months
to address any uncertainty regarding the
impact of time on foam’s shielding effects.
In order to conclusively evaluate the
shielding effects of both the PipePillo® and
the foam support, the experiment measured
coupon-to-pipe resistances, coupon corro-
sion currents, and coupon polarized poten-
tials at a variety of CP operating points. The
experiment was carried out twice to deter-
mine whether increasing the load on the pipe
would impact the shielding characteristics.
The test results clearly indicated that the
PipePillo® (PP) coupons polarized more
and received more CP current than the
foam support (FS) coupons under all test
conditions. In fact, the polarization char-
acteristics of the PipePillo® center and
side coupons were almost identical to the
polarization characteristics of the control
coupon (simulated unshielded holiday).
The test results are clear: the PipePillo®
support was determined to have negligible
cathodic shielding effects while the foam sup-
port was determined to have significant shield-
ing effects. Since aboveground measurement
techniques are unable to detect shielded poten-
tials, a holiday shielded from CP by a foam
pipeline support could remain undetected while
conducting potential surveys.
When combined with the propensity of
foam supports to be crushed under the weight
of the pipeline, which exposes the pipe coat-
ing to the rocky trench bottom, using foam
as a pipeline support technique is a risk that
pipeline-owning companies and contractors
no longer have to take. P&GJ
Figure 3: PipePillo®Structured Pipeline
Support Pillow
In the case of buried pipelines, CP is
achieved when one or more anodes (positive
electrodes) discharge electric current to protect
the pipeline, which acts as a cathode (negative
electrode). If the CP system is electrically cut-
off (shielded) from the pipeline where a holiday
(a hole or gap in the pipeline coating) has
occurred, then the CP cannot prevent corrosion.
There are many circumstances in which
a holiday could occur, but one of the
most obvious is a rocky trench bottom.
Conventionally the pipe is protected from a
rocky trench bottom by either adding a layer
of sand or select backfill above and below
the pipeline (sand padding) or by covering
the pipe with a high-impact resistant, poly-
type rock shield prior to installation.
To facilitate either method, some form
of intermittent pipeline support (IPS)
is required to elevate the pipeline off
the rocky trench bottom. Over the years
there have been several low-tech meth-
ods developed to elevate the pipe from
the trench bottom, including sand piles,
sand bags, and the most commonly used
method, polyurethane closed-cell foam.
Polyurethane foam is either preformed
into pillows (Fig. 1) or sprayed directly into
the trench (Fig. 2). There are several serious
draw backs with using foam as support.
However, restricting the path for CP current,

Medallion Pipeline Holds
Binding Open Season
Medallion Pipeline Company, LLC, a sub-
sidiary of Medallion Midstream LLC, held a
binding open season which ended on March
4 to obtain long-term volume commitments
for firm transportation capacity on the Santa
Rita Lateral and Reagan Expansion. With
the first expansion of the system nearing
completion, the project proposed will further
extend and expand the geographic scope of
the existing 200-mile, 95,000-bpd system:
n The Santa Rita Lateral is a proposed
65,000 bpd, 10-inch and 8-inch crude oil
pipeline which, along with smaller diam-
eter pipeline, will extend 55 miles to
the southwest from Medallion’s existing
Reagan Station in Reagan County, TX to
production areas in southwestern, cen-
tral, and northeastern Reagan County.
n An integral part of the overall project is
a proposed 30,000-bpd (or more) expan-
sion of Medallion’s existing 10-inch
Reagan Gathering Extension which
originates at the Reagan Station and
extends 55 miles north to the Garden
City Station in Glasscock County, TX.
Pemex/Sempra
LNG/IEnova Sign MOU
for Gas Liquefaction Project
Sempra Energy announced that its
IEnova and Sempra LNG units have signed
a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with a subsidiary of Pemex, Mexico’s state-
owned petroleum company, for develop-
ment of a natural gas liquefaction project at
the Energía Costa Azul receipt terminal in
Ensenada, Mexico. Pemex would have the
opportunity to become a customer, natural
gas supplier and investor.
“This is an important first step in working
with Pemex on the development of liquefac-
tion facilities at Energía Costa Azul,” said
Mark A. Snell, president of Sempra Energy.
When completed in 2008, Energía Costa
Azul became the first LNG receipt termi-
nal operating on the west coast of North
America. The terminal is capable of pro-
cessing up to 1 Bcf/d of natural gas.
Pipe Ordered

PROJECTS
Tallgrass/AGL Resources to Develop Prairie State Pipeline
Tallgrass Development,
LP and AGL Resources
Inc. concluded the non-
binding open season
for the proposed Prairie
State Pipeline. The sys-
tem would move natural
gas from supply connec-
tions in central Illinois
to the Chicago Market
Center and points in
between. Prairie State
Pipeline is being jointly
developed by Tallgrass
and AGL Resources and
is expected to have own-
ership participation by
both companies should
binding commitments be
finalized with interested
market participants.
Prairie State Pipeline
is expected to have a total
capacity of 1.2-1.5 Bcf/d.
The project has received
solid expressions of inter-
est and AGL Resources
and Tallgrass are final-
izing shipper commitments via precedent agreement. Prairie State Pipeline will provide
additional supply diversity and access to the Illinois and Midwest markets while increas-
ing reliability through new infrastructure.
The pipeline is expected to consist of 140 miles of large-diameter pipe running in
a generally north-south orientation, to connect interstate pipelines in Douglas County,
IL to gas distribution systems, storage fields and interstate pipeline companies in the
Chicago Market Center. Prairie State Pipeline expects to provide access to over 4 Bcf/d
of delivery points. Potential delivery points include city-gate and storage intercon-
nects with Nicor Gas, The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Co., Ameren, North Shore Gas
Company and possible interstate pipeline interconnects with ANR Pipeline, Guardian
Pipeline, Northern Border Pipeline, Horizon Pipeline, Alliance Pipeline and Natural Gas
Pipeline Company of America.
Prairie State Pipeline anticipates an in-service date of Nov.1, 2017 although that is
subject to change based on the outcome of this and any subsequent open season(s) and
may include a phased-in in-service.

ustomer relationships fuel our work at Valspar every day,” said Karl Jorgenrud, reflecting on his 21-year career at the company. “While a
lot of companies talk about customer ser-vice being important, at Valspar, our strong customer focus paired with global technical support and product quality continues to be a cornerstone of our business strategy.” This laser-focus on customers is what differenti-ates Valspar in the market, and has propelled growth for over 200 years into a leading global coating manufacturer.
Within the Protective Coatings business, Valspar provides a broad portfolio of coat-ings solutions for customers across the globe. From rebar coatings found on NYC’s One World Trade Center to the coatings protecting hundreds of thousands of miles of global oil and gas pipelines, customers count on Valspar to protect their most critical assets. Jorgenrud said Valspar goes well beyond a company that sells materials. “Our teams partner across the entire value chain to help customers improve every aspect of their operation.”
“Working side-by-side with applicators and end clients to provide the overall best solu-tions, our technical and service teams are sec-ond to none,” said Jorgenrud. “Local customer intimacy is very important to how we run our business. We take a global approach to product development, quality, and performance, but recognize the need for efficient local sup-
ply and technical support working with the customers in every region.” To deliver on that commitment to local support, Valspar’s Protective Coatings business has invested in local production in the U.S., Europe, Brazil and Asia and has technical service expertise strategically located throughout the world.
The customer-first mindset was instilled in Jorgenrud the first day he joined Valspar in the research and development lab as an intern while studying at the University of Minnesota, and that has been foundational during his career progression through a range of roles in nearly every business function, from finance to business development. His diverse back-ground and experience within Valspar give him a unique viewpoint.
“Understanding how all the functions work independently, and then come together to make our business strong, has helped me pro-vide the perspective required to build the right organization to support our customers’ busi-ness needs. We have great teams working on this every day and we’ve been very successful in carrying out this strategy.”
“Valspar is a global coatings leader with over $4 billion in annual sales, but we are still able to operate with the same flexibility of a small company,” said Jorgenrud. “We’re quick to market, we’re non-bureaucratic and we can be nimble. We work to partner with our customers to ensure they are successful in any way possible, and we want to be part
of a solution regardless of what the situation may be. We have flown people around the world on same-day notice to assist in techni-cal support in challenging coating applications — because we believe we can approach the problem from a unique point of view and be part of the solution for that end client.”
Valspar’s technical service is paired with a strong team of world-class chemists and scientists who are constantly working, testing, innovating and custom-formulating for the industry. Jorgenrud said, “We’re always work-ing on new systems to help our customers with better application and quality performance, and to respond to what end users will need from coatings in the longer-term horizon.”
Valspar keeps a strong commitment to innovation and growth as a coatings leader and continues to invest in growth. The most recent example is a $40 million investment in the Valspar Applied Science and Technology Center in Minneapolis. This facility, coupled with a “sister” technology center in Shunde, China, serve as global hubs of innovation and partner with Valspar’s regional labs worldwide. Hundreds of scientists are at work daily innovating and sharing best practices to further the science of coat-ings. Whether they are solving customers’ unique challenges in the field or leading the development of more sustainable coatings, innovation is core to Valspar.

Protective Coatings business has taken him to 27 countries in the past three years, and he’s learned a few lessons along the way that he instills with his team. “In my 20-plus year career, I have had great mentors, many of whom are senior leaders in our NAPCA community. They’ve helped me understand how to balance business and family. Having a wonderful wife, and four great kids, they have to come first no matter how crazy things get at work. I have found that if you are intentional about this, you can find the balance that works for everyone.”
Jorgenrud also has learned that people want
honesty and transparency. “The old adage of ‘the customer is always right’ is not the way we approach a relationship,” he said. “Of course, the customer always has the final decision, but in today’s world, customers need partners and people that understand the mar-ket, the business, and are willing to be candid on all topics. I think Valspar does a great job as a business in this area.”
A third key value Jorgenrud has learned is having a laser focus on what matters. “In the end, the one true thing we can control is how we spend our time. If we aren’t focused on the things that will ultimately make our customers,
the market, and our product line better, then it’s a complete waste of time, and we need to stop it immediately.”
Jorgenrud sees a bright future for the energy market long-term. “We’ve all experienced market cyclicality. The market goes up and it will come down. We are obviously in a down cycle now, but in the end, I believe energy continues to be an excellent market. Valspar will continue to invest in and add value to the oil and gas industry market and in NAPCA. This is a great industry with great people and companies, and I’m so glad to be part of it every day.” P&GJ

• With this in mind, P&GJ offers this simplified list of “what matters” and “what to look for” in circulation information:
– Is the overall audience for the publication significant? (exposure – circulation size)
– Do your target industry segments match the circulation profile? (segments) – Do your target locations match the circulation profile?
(relevant geography) – Are subscribers decision makers/influencers? (qualified prospect demographics) – Are subscribers actually receiving the publication? (validation) – Are subscribers actually reading the publication? (engaged readers) – Are the publisher’s claims real? (audit) – Do individual reader numbers equal subscribers numbers? (no pass-along) – Do the circulation numbers support the best overall value for your adver-
tising budget (value)?
