CEOs of 10 global oil and gas companies make collaborative declaration on climate change: • Call for an effective cli-

mate change agreement at COP21.

• Strengthen actions and investments to contrib-ute to reducing the GHG intensity of the global en-ergy mix.

• Support the implementa-tion of clear stable policy frameworks consistent with a 2°C future; these will help our companies to take informed deci-sions and make effective and sustainable contri-butions to addressing cli-mate change.

• Collaborate in a number of areas such as efficien-cy, natural gas, R&D and CCS.

• Report regularly and consistently on their progress.

• OGCI report outlines member companies’ work to catalyze prac-tical, meaningful and

technology-enabled ac-tions to address climate change. The chief executive of-

ficers of 10 of the world’s largest oil and gas com-panies - which together provide almost a fifth of all oil and gas production and supply nearly 10% of the world’s energy - today declared their collective support for an effective cli-mate change agreement to be reached at next month’s 21st session of the United Nations (UN) Conference of Parties to the UN Frame-work on Climate Change (COP21).

In their milestone dec-laration, the CEOs of the 10 companies that cur-rently make up the Oil and Gas Climate Initia-tive (OGCI) – BG Group, BP, Eni, Pemex, Reliance Industries, Repsol, Saudi Aramco, Shell, Statoil and Total – confirmed that they recognise the general ambition to limit global average temperature rise

to 2 degrees centigrade and that the existing trend of the world’s net global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is not consis-tent with this ambition.

The OGCI member com-panies have taken signifi-cant actions to reduce their GHG footprint, with com-bined GHG emissions from their operations reducing by around 20% over the past 10 years.

In their declaration the 10 CEOs said:

“Our shared ambition is for a 2°C future. It is a challenge for the whole of society. We are committed to playing our part. Over the coming years we will collectively strengthen our actions and investments to contribute to reducing the GHG intensity of the global energy mix. Our companies will collaborate in a num-ber of areas, with the aim of going beyond the sum of our individual efforts.”

(Helge Lund, BG Group; Bob Dudley, BP; Claudio

Descalzi, Eni; Emilio Lo-zoya, Pemex; Mukesh Am-bani, Reliance Industries; Josu Jon Imaz, Repsol; Ben van Beurden, Royal Dutch Shell; Amin Nasser, Saudi Aramco; Eldar Sætre, Statoil; and Patrick Pouy-anné, Total.)

The OGCI also today launched its collaborative report - ‘More energy, low-er emissions’ – highlighting practical actions taken by member companies to im-prove GHG emissions man-agement and work towards improving climate change impacts in the longer term. These actions include sig-nificant investments in natural gas, carbon capture and storage, and renewable energy, as well as low-GHG research and development.

Together the declaration and report set out key areas where the OGCI companies will focus their collabora-tion, including:

Efficiency: optimising efficiency of their own op-erations; improving the end-use efficiency of their fuels and other products; and working with manu-facturers and consumers to improve the efficiency of road vehicles.• Natural gas: contributing

to increasing the share

of gas in the global en-ergy mix, ensuring it results in significantly lower lifecycle emissions than other fossil fuels for power generation; elimi-nating ‘routine’ flaring and reducing methane emissions from their op-erations.

• Long-term solutions: in-vesting in R&D and in-novation to reduce GHG emissions; participating in partnerships to prog-ress carbon capture and storage; contributing to increasing the share of renewables in the global energy mix.

• Energy access: develop-ing projects to provide

people with access to en-ergy in partnership with local and national au-thorities and other stake-holders.

• Partnerships and multi-stakeholder initiatives: seeking opportunities to accelerate climate change solutions by working collectively or individually in industry and other initiatives.The OGCI is a CEO-led,

voluntary, oil and gas in-dustry initiative that aims to catalyze practical action on climate change through best practice sharing and collaboration. b

Kenworth announced the introduction of a new 40-inch sleeper for the Kenworth T880 today at the American Trucking Associations (ATA) Man-agement Conference and Exhibition.

Kenworth’s 40-inch sleeper is designed for vocational applications that use straight trucks, such as petroleum haul-ers or the tow industry, and for tractors hauling flatbeds, lowboys or oth-er trailers where length and weight may come into play.

“The Kenworth T880 is all about providing vo-cational fleets and truck operators with the right truck for the right job. The 40-inch sleeper is a perfect match for voca-tional applications where drivers need a small sleeper with a compact, yet comfortable sleeping environment and opti-mal storage,” said Jason Skoog, Kenworth assis-tant general manager for

sales and marketing. The 40-inch sleeper,

which saves 260 pounds over Kenworth’s 52-inch sleeper, features a 24-inch liftable bunk that tilts 90 degrees for easy access to under bunk storage. There is more than 22 cubic feet of storage space to handle gear for oc-casional stays in the sleeper, plus storage shelves and a cell phone cubby. The interior also includes coat hooks specifically designed to hold hardhats as well as coats. There are three optional windows avail-able on the back of the sleeper to help provide maximum visibility for drivers operating in tight locations, plus two standard toolbox doors.

Customers can also mount a variety of com-ponents on the roof, in-cluding a sunvisor, LED marker lights, spot and strobe lights, air horns, plus Qualcomm, Peo-

pleNet, and Kenworth TruckTech+ remote di-agnostic antennas.

To help cover body builder equipment for all vocational applications, the T880 40-inch sleep-er was designed with a height – from the bottom of the frame rails to the sleeper rooftop – that is nearly 17 inches shorter than the T880’s 52-inch and 76-inch mid-roof sleepers.

The T880 now offers vocational customers three excellent sleepers to best meet their needs and applications. In 2016, the T880 is avail-able with the recently announced PACCAR MX-11 engine rated from 355 to 430-hp and from 1,250 to 1,550 lb-ft of torque.

The flagship Kenworth T880 Vocational Truck with the PACCAR MX-13 engine was selected as the 2015 ATD Truck of the Year by a panel of com-mercial trucking journalists and a professional driver. The T880 was ranked high for exceptional handling, power, torque and out-standing visibility from the driver’s seat. b

Nortrax Appoints Vice President Of Nortrax Canada

We’re planning our next issue!

AD DEADLINE:

The United States De-partment of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Ser-vice (APHIS) published its final rule on October 29, 2015 that adjusts the fees the U.S. Govern-ment charges to recoup the costs of conducting agricultural quarantine inspections (AQI) at U.S. ports of entry for all modes of transportation.

The changes take ef-fect on December 28, 2015. In the case of trucking, the fees are ap-plied whether or not a truck crossing the border is carrying agricultural products.

The USDA argues the fee adjustment – which it says was subject to an evaluation by “a well-re-spected” accounting firm – is necessary to align the actual cost of pro-viding the services with what the U.S. Govern-ment charges.

In making its an-nouncement, the USDA also said the “AQI fee ad-justments are consistent with the United States’ international trade ob-ligations” despite con-cerns to the contrary from both the Canadian Trucking Alliance and the Government of Can-ada.

When it was first pub-lished in April 2014, the rule proposed to increase the annual APHIS fee by 205% per truck entering the U.S. from Canada with transponders and up 52% more for trucks without transponders.

The agency then took public comments and held several stakeholder meetings and listening sessions, which CTA participated in on its own and as part of a US business coalition. The final rule was then held up for several months while it was reviewed by the White House Of-fice of Management and Budget.

The USDA says APHIS “carefully considered all of the public input it re-ceived on the proposed rule, and adjusted the fi-nal fees in response.” As a result, certain fees have been lowered from what was proposed in April 2014. Commercial truck fees for trucks cross-ing the border without a transponder will now be increased to US$7.55 (from the current level of US$5.25) compared to the April 2014 proposal of US$8 per crossing. For trucks using tran-sponders the annual fee will rise from US$105 to US$301.67 compared to the initial proposed fee of US$320 per transpon-der.

The adjustments to the APHIS fee increases are of little consolation to the trucking industry, ac-cording to the president and CEO of the Canadian Trucking Alliance – a federation of the provin-cial trucking associations representing over 4,500 trucking companies.

“This is a cash grab and a tax on trade,” said David Bradley. “We’re

still looking at increases of 44-percent for non-transponder trucks and 187-percent for trucks with transponders. That is absurd and a complete contradiction of the prin-ciples of the US-Canada Beyond the Border Ac-cord.”

APHIS fees only start-ed being applied to Ca-nadian shipments to the U.S. in 2007. “The fees were grudgingly tolerat-ed by the trade commu-nity, although we always found it incredible that all trucks were being as-sessed the fees whether or not they were being inspected and whether or not they were carrying agricultural products,” said Bradley.

The top five commod-ities imported into the United States by truck are vehicles, comput-ers, plastics, electronics, metals and stone.

Bradley pointed out that when the “nonsen-sical” fee increases were proposed last year, CTA obtained a legal opinion that was supported by the Government of Can-ada. It found the very existence of the fees is inconsistent with the United States’ obliga-tions under Article 310 of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAF-TA), which says that “all fees and charges shall not represent an indirect protection to domestic products or a taxation of imports or exports for fiscal purposes.”

Bradley says he hopes the new Canadian govern-ment of Justin Trudeau will take up the issue and chal-lenge the law as soon as it becomes effective. b

Peterbilt Motors Com-pany announced avail-ability of the lightweight, fuel efficient PACCAR MX-11 engine for its flag-ship on-highway Model 579 and vocational Model 567. The new 10.8-liter engine – introduced by PACCAR to North Ameri-can markets earlier this month – will be available for order through Peterbilt dealerships beginning on November 13 and produc-tion begins in January.

“The PACCAR MX-11 engine is a great addition to Peterbilt’s lineup of technologically advanced solutions focused on de-livering the highest lev-els of quality, durability, performance, reliability, efficiency and overall re-turn,” said Darrin Siver, Peterbilt General Man-ager and PACCAR Vice President. “The PACCAR MX-11 engine provides outstanding value in a lightweight and fuel ef-ficient design, and will continue to exceed our

high standards and our customers’ expectations.”

The PACCAR MX-11 engine has an output of up to 430 horsepower and 1,550 lb.-ft. of torque. It is ideal for a wide range of applications, including re-gional haul, tanker, bulk haul, construction and refuse.

PACCAR launched the MX-11 engine in Europe in 2013 and has manufac-tured and installed over 10,000 of the engines in vehicles built by its DAF Trucks division. PACCAR has over 50 years of en-gine development and manufacturing expertise.

The PACCAR MX-11 engine has six inline cyl-inders and a double over-head camshaft design. PACCAR MX engines are the only commercial die-sel engines to use Com-pacted Graphite Iron (CGI) in both the engine block and cylinder head. CGI is approximately 20 percent lighter and 75 percent stronger than tra-

ditional gray iron. The PACCAR MX-11 engine is designed to achieve an in-dustry-leading B10 life of one million miles. It also utilizes a common rail fuel system with injection pressures of 2,500 bar to optimize combustion for low fuel consumption and noise levels.

“In addition to the weight and fuel savings, drivers will appreciate the responsiveness, perfor-mance and quiet opera-tion of the PACCAR MX-11 engine running in their Peterbilt truck,” Siver said.

All Peterbilt dealer lo-cations will provide full support of the PACCAR MX-11 engine.

The PACCAR MX-11 engine will be produced at the state-of-the-art PAC-CAR engine manufacturing facility in Columbus, Miss., where the PACCAR MX-13 is produced. The PACCAR MX-13 engine recently achieved a milestone of 100,000 units produced for North America; that engine was installed in a Peterbilt Model 579 and is in opera-tion with Kenan Advantage Group. b

Peterbilt Announces Availability Of Paccar MX-11 Engine


Greg Larsen noses his ProStar and its attached 53-foot reefer down the snow-packed driveway of Blue Bay Farms, a potato grower nestled on the north coast of the tiny province of Canada’s Prince Edward Island.

Larsen is an Islander—a distinction you don’t re-ceive unless you’re born here—and in the 10-degree Fahrenheit afternoon, all he’s wearing is a crew-neck sweatshirt, a ball cap and a pair of cotton work gloves. He’s as strong as a bull moose, and in another life he looks like he could have been an enforcer on a hockey team instead of a truck driver. Larsen drives for Bulk Carriers, a long-haul trucking operation whose 70 apple-red Inter-national ProStars transport fresh produce all over the continent.

As he backs his truck up against one of the build-

ings, a bay door rattles open. He hops out of the cab and steps inside the barn, which is so dark and smells so much like earth that it feels like it’s underground. Fine potato dirt floats through the air. The vegetables bounce along a series of conveyor belts to be sorted, sized and washed before be-ing packaged and carried away by Larsen’s truck. A team of farm hands begins forklifting giant bags of potatoes on board, evenly distributing the weight of the 42,500-pound payload, that the ProStar will even-tually haul to British Co-lumbia, California, Florida or some other far-flung cor-ner of North America.

While maintaining opti-mum freshness of its pro-duce on board is a high pri-ority for Bulk Carriers, the company has other consid-erations to make as well. With fuel prices topping

$5.44 per gallon, on this blustery December day, the guys at Bulk Carriers are all asking: How do they squeeze every last mile out of the gas pump? All About The Engine

Bulk Carriers just pur-chased 15 brand-new ProS-tars with N13 engines after fleet manager Blaine Kelly, son of owner Jack Kelly, met with a pack of Navistar engineers.

“Right then and there we made the deal,” Blaine says. Since then, he’s been stunned by the leap in per-formance. “They told us we’d see a huge gain in fuel economy, and they were right. It’s three-quarters of a mile better [per gallon]. I don’t care who you are; that’s where you make your money at the end of the day.”

The new engine, with its Selective Catalytic Re-duction, marks an exciting leap forward for Navistar.

In this industry, efficiency is everything, and Blaine knows it; that’s why he programmed his rigs to travel along the highway at no more than 62 mph. “That’s where you get the best fuel economy, hon-estly,” he explains. “You’re still on time, you don’t have to be looking in the mirror behind you, and you can focus on driving and stay-ing alert. The idea that you save more by driving a few miles an hour faster is an illusion.”

If there were a portrait of Blaine, he’d be holding a magnifying glass. The man has an intense attention to detail. Take his approach to how long his engines spend idling: “It shuts off after three minutes,” he says, whipping the number off the top of his head. “The vehicle is in control, not the driver. Idling is burnt fuel, so it’s cheaper at the end of the day to put the driver in a hotel than to let him idle. And it’s not just the fuel you’re burning; it’s the wear and tear. We keep idling around 5% to 7%.”

“Which is phenom-enally low, compared with some of our customers, who are at 15% to 25%,” adds Gary Taylor, the sales manager at East Coast In-ternational Trucks, the dealer Blaine and his fam-ily have dealt with for year. Give And Take

Blaine’s laser focus is one of the things that Taylor cherishes about his long-lasting relationship with Bulk Carriers. “One of the things that always impresses me about them is that they’re never en-tirely satisfied,” he says. “And they challenge our engineers too. Next thing you know, they’re work-ing on something together because Blaine saw some-thing that they could im-prove. He’s not only been

a great proponent of Inter-national, he’s been a good challenge for us too.”

Thanks to the N13 en-gine—and Blaine’s meticu-lous tinkering—Bulk Car-riers forecasts that it will save a significant amount in costs due to increased fuel economy.

“This is the signal of change,” explains David Lockhart, East Coast’s gen-eral manager. “And when you have someone like Bulk Carriers who buys these trucks and sees in-stant good results, it’s an encouraging thing.”

The guys at East Coast hope that, based on Bulk Carrier’s gleaming reputa-tion as a progressive Inter-national customer, other companies might look around and say “If Bulk is doing this, we should too.” Keeping It In The Family

Jack Kelly started the company in 1973, out of his own experience in truck-ing. Born to potato farmers on the Island, he was driv-ing loads to Boston by the time he was 16 years old. “That’s just the way it was done back then,” he says.

It started small, but these days, the company employs drivers from all over the globe—England, India, Italy, Jamaica, Ka-zakhstan and Tel Aviv, to name a few—aided by Blaine in the garage and Jack’s other son, Ty-son, managing the office. Through most of the com-pany’s history, Navistar has been right there, from the equipment itself to the OnCommand system the mechanics use to diagnose engine fault codes.

“We started buying Navi-star equipment in 1980, and the quality has only contin-ued to improve on the long-haul trucking side of things, from the comfort of their equipment to driver ergo-nomics,” Jack says.

Jack also cares about image, which is why he built a truck wash just a couple of miles down the road from Bulk’s headquar-ters. Just about any time his ProStars aren’t on the road, they’re being driv-en through the wash. “It makes a statement when you’re out there,” Jack says. Behind the scenes, the wash recycles its wa-ter and uses only environ-mentally-friendly cleaning agents.

Values are clearly im-portant to the Kellys. “To build a successful business, you have to work hard, and you have to work smart,” Jack says. It’s a philosophy that has trickled down to his sons—and they hope it will do the same with their employees.

Inside the garage, Blaine is watching one of his guys, Ethan, struggle with a frozen bolt on one of the trucks. “I’m trying to teach these young fellas something,” Blaine says. He slides under the hood, fiddles with the bolt for a minute, and pops it out. “See? Persistence always pays off.”

Back in his office, Jack holds up a model of the bright-red ProStar that one of his grandsons made out of construction paper. “The fellow who built this truck will be 13 in February, and who knows? Maybe when he’s 23, he’ll be part of Bulk Carriers.”

It’s only mid-afternoon but the sun has almost dis-appeared, as it does during winter on Prince Edward Island. As the truck drivers rev their rigs onto the road, headed out for the next haul, they pass a white sign with one final declaration in cheerful red block let-ters: “Drive safe.” b

Eighty years after piers were constructed in San Francisco Bay to hold up the eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, a specialized contractor is preparing to blast its sturdy footings. Demolishing the reinforced

concrete piers is the final step in the removal of the nearly 2 mile long span. In order to accomplish this complex task in an envi-ronmentally friendly way a Ranger DX800 drill rig from Sandvik Construction has been working on site, im-

pressing with its customer focused and highly produc-tive features.

The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge has already has been replaced by an adjacent $6.4 bil-lion structure that claims the title of world’s wid-est bridge. While the new bridge is impressive, so is the demolition job be-ing undertaken by Florida contractor Contract Drilling & Blasting LLC. The com-pany’s challenging task is to make a pier disappear cleanly beneath the bay

bottom without disturbing the bay’s avian and marine life.

The contractor is tasked with drilling 159 holes in Pier E3, chosen to be the demonstration pier for explosives demolition. Cartridge charges will be placed in the holes at sev-eral levels and the pier im-ploded without negative impacts to marine life or environment. Environmen-tal concerns are magnified because this is California’s first major blasting demoli-tion in water. This means that the dust and slurry created by concrete dust emanating from the demo-lition cannot be allowed to degrade water quality.

In order to deal with this potential problem a system of garbage cans were put around the drill,

and all drilling residue and cuttings were collected and placed in a covered con-tainer exclusive for aggre-gates for hauling to shore. It was essential that no leaks or blown hoses occur as this could lead to con-tamination of the water. Clearly, Contract Drilling & Blasting had a big job on its hands.

The job was however approached with confi-dence as the contractor has done similar work before, though perhaps not under such tight environmental restraints. The company has developed a first class reputation in its field and now travels the world undertaking specialized blasting and demolition projects. This includes the demolition of marine struc-tures and bridge super-

structures, as well as other underwater blasting proj-ects. Blasting specialist for the company, Ken Tully, has recently successfully demolished bridge piers in British Columbia, Can-ada, which were diligently monitored for any negative environmental impact and is the Controlled Blasting Specialist for the E3 demo-lition project. Tully was re-sponsible for designing the blast, overseeing the drill operations and conducting the blasting operations.

This emphasis on em-ployee expertise on the project saw Danny Deskins drill the holes in the dem-onstration pier. Though Pier E3 was the first pier he worked on, Danny is a 26-year veteran of precision drilling, and was able to

Eco Friendly Drilling Straight To The Bottom Of San Francisco Bay

Demolishing the reinforced concrete piers is the final step in the removal of the nearly 2 mile long span.

In order to accomplish the demolition, a 37,000 lbs. drilling machine was crane-loaded onto a barge, floated to the pier, and offloaded atop it.


meet the challenges head on. His expertise proved vital as the structure’s ver-tical rebar and cross-ties tested both machine and operator, but were drilled through successfully. Other surmounted challenges in-cluded jagged surfaces on the tops of walls and soft spots in the concrete, both of which can send a drill bit skittering one way or the other.

The drilled pier is 80 feet wide by 130 feet long and stretches downward 289 feet from its cap, with the last 180 feet being into

the muddy bottom of the bay. Beneath the pier’s cap is a supporting grid honeycombed with voids. Horizontal cross-sections periodically intersect with three-foot-thick reinforced concrete walls. Holes were drilled into each of the three-foot interior walls as well as in four-foot-thick exterior walls. The holes were drilled in two depths—64 feet and 86 feet—in a pattern designed to neatly capture the ex-ploded and inward-col-lapsing material at the bot-tom of the pier’s footprint. More than 558 individual

electronic detonations will be separately initiated on the multiple decks, with an expected total time of 4.6 seconds.

In order to accomplish the demolition, a 37,000 lbs. drilling machine was crane-loaded onto a barge, floated to the pier, and offloaded atop it. When in place Deskins drilled 10 hours a day, five days a week. What made the drilling especially tricky, aside from environmental considerations, was the relatively thinness of the walls. Drilling a hole 2.75 inches in diameter for up

to 86 feet with little to no deviation is not a simple task. “The trick was getting to the bottom of the hole without going out one side of the wall.” Deskins says.

Tully specifically chose a Sandvik Ranger DX800 drill rig for the challenging job. “I wanted this machine. I have used similar Sandvik equipment on other proj-ects and was very satisfied. The accuracy and trueness of the holes was fantastic.” Aggregate Crusher Special-ists, the Sandvik Drilling and Stationary Crushing and Screening equipment dealer for Nevada and Cali-fornia, promptly supplied the machine for rental when Contract Drilling & Blasting needed it. ACS President, Mike Murphy, states: “Time is of the es-sence in this industry; we strive to be able to supply the right equipment and the best service at the right time. Barry Wells, our Drill Specialist, was present on-site the first few days of the drill arriving to the pier and supplied the technical sup-port during the project.”

Tully has worked around Sandvik drilling rigs for 20 years—includ-ing with predecessor Tam-

rock units—and says he always has been impressed with their productivity. The blasting specialist be-lieves three features on the Ranger DX800 were critical on drilling Pier E3. One was the rig’s reach,

which in the limited pier area can be very difficult and sometimes up to 2 to 3 feet. Another was its ability to revolve its superstruc-ture up to 180 degrees and drill multiple holes from

the same location. Those features minimize set-up time and, consequently, in-crease drilling time.

The other critical feature was Sandvik’s TIM5300 system, which measures

depth and inclination to a high degree of accuracy. The enhanced drilling ac-curacy of the TIM5300 was needed because the pier’s three-foot-thick walls were poured in place, sometimes in multiple pours, and were

not expected to always run true. Guided by the system, combined with Tully’s se-lected drill string and op-erator, the Ranger DX800 proved productive despite the irregular material and untrue structuring. “There

were lots of surprises and adjustments to make, but we made them success-fully,” says Tully, who adds: “This project was undertaken in a controlled drilling atmosphere rather than a production drilling atmosphere. I would rather take an hour on a single hole than quickly drill a bad one.”

Deskins says he couldn’t imagine having tackled the task with any other drill. He calls the Ranger DX800 an operator-friendly machine, stating: “The Cadillac of the drilling world. You re-ally need to be precise and pay attention to the hole you are drilling, but the cabin is comfortable and you don’t have to stretch a long way. The TIM5300 system will keep up with the penetration rate, which makes it quicker for me to go through from one hole to the next. Electronically and hydraulically it is a great machine. Additional-

The long string of achievements by Terex apprentice Elias Sutter continued at the Europe-an WeldCup in the British city of Cambridge: The prospective steel con-struction mechanic spe-cializing in welding land-ed an impressive second

ly, the pier environment is a small space; you can get lots of people on the pier around you but the cam-eras in the cabin allow me to see everything around me. Sandvik has taken into consideration the com-fort of the operator, which makes the job a lot easier for me.”

Sandvik Construction Area Sales Manager Avery Martin says such compli-ments from operators are not rare. “The operator is given great visibility of the hole they’re drilling. Rod-changing is done with the left hand, and joy-stick drilling and boom control with the right. All pressure gauges are in the operator’s line of sight as they look at a hole. All in all, the cabin is designed so an operator can focus 100% on drill-ing. From a hydraulic point of view, one feature that makes the job easier for the operator is the Rock Pilot+ control system. It measures

place as part of the team representing Germany at the competition, relegat-ing defending champions Austria to fifth place in the process. Elias Sut-ter had the following to say about his latest ac-complishment: “Austria, Belgium, Hungary, Great Britain, and Romania all had very strong teams, which made the compe-tition really challenging. However, I came well prepared, and that, to-gether with the support I got from the company, allowed me to give it my best.”

Instructor Jürgen Hoffmann is proud of the young apprentice, who is part of a new genera-tion of skilled workers at Terex: “Elias really showed everyone what he is made of! Even though he had to go up against very tough oppo-nents from all over Eu-rope, he prevailed. This not only shows that he’s got the necessary skills, but also proves that he’s hard-working, motivat-ed, and able to carry out extremely precise work even when under enor-mous pressure.”

In 2013, the German team got third place at

the hardness of the mate-rial and adjusts accordingly in order to get a straight hole.” And as Deskins puts it: “Anything that is easier to run for the operator will increase your productiv-ity.”

The estimated time needed to actually destroy the pier after it has been drilled and laced with electronically sequenced explosives is less than six seconds. Contract Drilling & Blasting will be setting up the blast in November 2015. The month was se-lected because demolition during the period poses the least risk to San Fran-cisco Bay’s fish and wild-life populations, including porpoises, sea lions and seals. Delicate tasks like this one are doable be-cause drilling specialists and Sandvik continue to refine the machines that can do the job. b

the WeldCup.Jürgen Hoffmann –

who once was a com-petitor at “Jugend sch-weißt” himself – worked hard to prepare a group of apprentices over sev-eral months for a num-ber of competitions. All of them went on to do remarkably well at the state championships in the Saarland and Rhine-land-Palatinate, proving that Terex provides out-standing training. Elias Sutter himself landed first place at the Saarland state championship and then at the nationals. He then spent one week at a training camp in Kaiser-slautern, where he not only practiced the art of achieving the perfect weld, but also focused on planning and welding calculations.

Dr. Klaus Beulker, Location Manager and General Manager for Terex in Zweibrücken, commented: “We’re all tremendously proud of Mr. Sutter and would like to thank our in-structors for the enor-mous work they put into supporting our ap-prentices during the en-tire time they are with us. We believe in our future generations and put our heart and soul into making sure that we train them for a bright future.” b

The University of Utah football team has the best ground game in the Pac-12 Conference this season, thanks to Western Star and C.R. England.

The Utes are hauling their gear in a new 2016 Western Star 5700XE spec’d with a Detroit DD15 engine. The high roof Stratosphere sleep-er, which features cherry wood cabinets, a leather steering wheel and lots of chrome, plus two red-and-white trailers – deco-rated with the team logo and a picture of a football player – were donated by C.R. England, a Salt Lake City-based global trans-portation provider and strong supporter of the University of Utah.

C.R. England was the first carrier to introduce the new Western Star 5700XE into its fleet this year. The transportation firm ordered 200 of the efficient over-the-high-way trucks, which it uses

to reward tenured solo and team drivers and million mile drivers.

“We’re proud of our relationship with C.R. England, one of the top carriers in the country, and honoured that a Western Star 5700XE is delivering gear for the University of Utah Utes, a powerhouse in col-lege football,” said Ann Demitruk, director of marketing for Western Star.

The eye-catching truck serves as a rolling billboard for the Univer-sity of Utah football pro-gram, said Andrew Wa-ters, general manager of Utah Sports Properties, which manages sponsor-ships and partnerships for the university’s ath-letics department.

The team uses the tractor and two donated trailers, one 53 feet long and one 28-footer, to carry gear from the Utes practice field to its home field at Rice-Eccles Sta-

dium. The truck will hit the road this season for away games at Fresno State, University of Ore-gon, University of South-ern California, Univer-sity of Washington and University of Arizona.

“The co-branded Western Star truck and drivers transport all of our game-day equipment to and from each foot-ball game. The athletics department gets to enjoy mobile branding in key recruiting states,” Wa-ters said.

C.R. England, which also donated the cost of the fuel and assigns two drivers to drive the truck, said it is proud to help its hometown uni-versity and praised the service of the local West-ern Star dealership, War-ner Truck Centre of Salt Lake City.

“We are very excited to provide this resource to the University as a show of support to Utah athlet-ics and we appreciate the partnership with our local dealer, Warner Truck Cen-tre,” said Zach England, chief operating office of C.R. England. b

Also at the exhibit will be the new DX140W-5 wheel excava-tor with a new power tilt-ing coupler and a DXB100H hydraulic breaker.DL220-5 wheel loader

The new DL220-5 is a

3.0-cubic-yard wheel load-er and replaces the “dash-3” (interim Tier 4) model with a Tier 4-compliant Doosan DL06 engine. The wheel loader offers a va-riety of product enhance-ments, including improved operator comfort, increased productivity and easy ser-viceability. Designed to perform well in a variety of applications, the DL220-5 excels at digging, heavy lifting, carrying materials with a pallet fork and gen-eral construction tasks.Wheel loader operator enhancements include:• Improved adjustable

steering column: more floor space/ more leg-

room• New fuel consump-

tion gauge: reports how much fuel the new DL220-5 wheel loader is using in real time; opera-tors can read the gauge on the standard color LCD screen

• Dashboard keypad up-dates: easier to review, adjust settings and clean

• Two rear LED lamps: provide better visibility when working at nightAn optional high-lift con-

figuration for the DL220-5 wheel loader provides op-erators with extra dump height. The option is par-ticularly useful for operators who regularly load trucks and need additional lift height to efficiently dump material. In addition, the DL220-5 can be configured with an optional quick cou-pler for easy attachment changes, including buckets (general purpose, light ma-terial or multi-purpose) and pallet forks.Attachment: Quick coupler

Customers can quickly change their non-hydraulic wheel loader attachments without leaving their seat with the Doosan quick coupler attachment. The attachment is constructed

with heavy-duty materials that are available in a vari-ety of styles and configura-tion to add flexibility to the wheel loader line.Quick coupler features include:• Four-point pickup sys-

tem: Eases coupling/uncoupling on uneven terrain

• Angle cylinder design: Requires less mainte-nance

• Load center: Moved for-ward for a maximum of 2 inches from the origi-nal pin-on attachment position

good visibility for pick-ing up and placing ma-terials

• Manual adjustable tines: Allows forks to be ad-justed depending on ma-terial

• Quick coupler mount

only: Quickly attaches and removes from car-riages, allowing the at-tachment to be used on multiple carriers.

DX140W-5 wheel excavator

For applications that require a heavy-duty exca-vator with rubber tires, the DX140W-5 wheel excava-tor is a popular choice for customers who regularly drive on finished concrete or asphalt surfaces. The 14.3 metric-ton wheel ex-cavator replaces the “dash-3” (interim Tier 4) models with a Tier 4-compliant 124 net-horsepower Doosan DL06 engine and features improved fuel efficiency from a new Smart Power Control (SPC) selectable engine mode.

The new DX140W-5 wheel excavator offers cus-tomers multiple enhance-ments, including improved operator comfort, machine performance and enhanced visibility. However, what haven’t changed are the dependable performance, comfort and ease of service of the “dash-3” model.New machine updates include:• Ergonomic joystick: im-

proves operator comfort and ease of use

• Relocated rear camera: enhances rear visibility

• Camera monitor: allows operators to monitor ma-chine information while camera is on

• Floor pedal: adds op-tional way for operators to activate two-way aux-

iliary hydraulics• Alternator upgrade: pro-

vides 80 amps for im-proved performance

Petrolia, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PEA) is pleased to note that the studies that were completed for and published by The Govern-ment of Quebec as part of the Strategic Environmen-tal Assessment (“SEA”) conclude that the Antico-sti project is both economi-cally viable and technically and environmentally feasi-ble. The SEA is based on 64 studies conducted over the last two years by indepen-dent experts from a variety of backgrounds.

The SEA(i) highlights the following:

In 2013, Quebec im-ported 137 million barrels of oil and 7.7 million cubic feet of natural gas from other Canadian provinces, the U.S.A. and various other countries around the world. This amounted to $13.5 billion of import-ed hydrocarbons, which constitutes 61% of the commercial trade defi-cit of the Province; The Province of Quebec has a

long history of oil & gas exploration and a number of prospective basins, in-cluding Anticosti Island, which hold great poten-tial for the production of hydrocarbons. In par-ticular, the Macasty Shale formation is geologically similar to the productive Utica and Pleasant Point formations in Ohio. Dur-ing a 75 year period and based on an “optimized” production scenario, Anti-costi Island could produce a total of 11,683 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 584 million barrels of oil. During the maximum production period, this could amount to 246 tril-lion cubic feet of natural gas and 12.3 million bar-rels of oil per year, which represents 113% of the annual gas consumption and 9% of the annual oil consumption for the Prov-ince; The project could have potential revenues of $169 billion and profits of $75 billion; Including

royalties, taxes and its ownership interest in the project, this could result in revenues to the Gov-ernment of Quebec of $46 to $48 billion and would create more than 2,000 jobs; Based on a detailed analysis of all of the key variables including the costs of drilling, produc-tion and infrastructure for the full development of the project, the Govern-ment of Quebec expects the project to have an 80% to 86% chance of be-ing economically viable; The full development of the project would have an impact of less than 2% of the 2020 greenhouse gas emission targets set by the Government of Que-bec for 2020; The SEA suggests a variety of mea-sures and best practices that can be implemented to address the environ-mental impacts of the project, considering that similar projects are being completed other places in

the world. Petrolia commends the

authors of the SEA, as it was very comprehensive in nature and represents a reasonable approach to es-timate the potential value of hydrocarbon develop-ment on Anticosti Island. Notwithstanding, reports such as these are very spec-ulative in nature, due to the wide array of variables that need to be considered.

As previously an-nounced, Anticosti Hy-drocarbons completed the drilling of 12 stratigraphic survey wells on the Island in 2014 and 2015, which were taken into consider-ation in the SEA completed by the Government. Anti-costi Hydrocarbons is plan-ning, subject to the receipt of the necessary approvals, to drill and frack three hori-zontal wells in 2016. This drilling program will be a critical step towards under-standing the hydrocarbon resource potential on Anti-costi Island.

Petrolia notes that the Government’s estimate of the relative proportion of gas (77.5%) to oil (22.5%) is largely based on esti-mates from comparable oil & gas basins and the

actual proportions could vary from this estimate. In these other basins, the presence of gas is essential to ensuring the economic production of oil and is an important component of the value of the resources. It is important to highlight that this estimate of gas includes liquid hydrocar-bons typically referred to as condensate. If these es-timates prove to be correct, the project could produce a meaningful amount of oil, gas and condensate. The condensate is expected to consist mostly of butane, propane and ethane, which could add significant eco-nomic value to the project.

Petrolia is excited about its interest in Anticosti Hydrocarbons because, according to the Govern-ment’s studies, its permits are located in the area of the basin which is most likely to contain the liquids rich zone and best produc-tive capacity. Anticosti Is-land continues to represent the largest and most pro-spective oil and gas project in the Province of Quebec.

“For the last several years, Petrolia is the only Quebec-based company that has taken concrete

steps to advance this break-through project for the Province of Quebec. Before the signing of the agree-ments in 2014, we complet-ed $5.8 million of work on the Island. In 2014, we ne-gotiated and signed agree-ments for up to $100 mil-lion of work with partners, including the Government of Quebec, for the valoriza-tion of these permits and we remain the operators of this project. Since 2008, Petrolia has been closely linked to the success and advancement of the Anti-costi project” stated Alex-andre Gagnon, President and CEO of Petrolia.

Petrolia is the company that holds the best port-folio of oil projects in the Province of Quebec. The hypothesis set forth in the studies published by the Government of Quebec for the additional potential for natural gas associated with the production of oil on Anticosti Island creates a fantastic opportunity for the economic development of the eastern region of Quebec, including Gaspe-sie and the North Shore of the St. Lawrence. b

Equipment industry leaders converged on Can-ada’s capital on Oct. 29 for the Associated Equip-ment Distributors (AED) 2015 Ottawa Briefing. The meeting, held in wake of historic federal elections, provided attendees with unique insights about what Canada’s new Liberal gov-ernment might mean for infrastructure, tax, regula-tory, and workforce policy.

Over the course of the meeting, dealers heard from more than a dozen speakers from construction and business associations, government, and aca-demia, including:• Matthew Wilson, senior

vice president of the Ca-nadian Manufacturers & Exporters;

• Hendrik Brakel, senior director of economic, fi-nancial, and tax policy for the Canadian Cham-ber of Commerce;

• Scotty Greenwood, se-nior advisor to the Cana-dian American Business

Council;• Pierre Gratton, president

& CEO of the Mining As-sociation of Canada;

• Bill Ferreira, vice presi-dent of government rela-tions and public affairs for the Canadian Con-struction Association;

• Jason Burggraaf, policy and government rela-tions advisor to the Ca-nadian Home Builders Association;

• Derek Esseltine, risk management consultant with Peter Suess Trans-portation Consultant Inc.;

• Mike Crocco, manager of business development for Motion Industries Canada;

• Sam Boutziouvis, vice president of government relations for SNC Lava-lin;

• Stephen Johnson, direc-tor general of the work-place partnerships direc-torate of Employment and Social Development Canada’s skills and em-

ployment branch;• Sarah Anson-Cartwright,

director of skills policy at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce; and

• Tracie Marsh-Fior, dean of apprenticeship, trades, technology and part time studies at Ca-nadore College in North Bay, Ontario.Craig Drury, vice presi-

dent of operations for east-ern Canada for Vermeer Canada (AED’s regional di-rector for eastern Canada) and Rick Van Exan, vice president of marketing for Toromont CAT played a leading role in the meet-ing, moderating panels re-spectively on policy issues affecting dealer costs of do-ing business and customer industries.

Conference speakers discussed the possible composition of the new government, the likely timeline for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to roll out his policy initiatives, and how Trudeau might imple-ment his promised $20 billion, two-year special infrastructure package. Al-though much uncertainty still surrounds the govern-ment transition, meeting

AED Ottawa Briefing Examines Dealer Impact Of Canadian Election Results



The City of Toronto has approved a proposal to pursue a public-private partnership solution to re-habilitate the aging and crumbling Gardiner Ex-pressway.

According to a city staff report approved by council, the total capi-tal cost estimate for the construction portion (ex-cluding operations and maintenance, and lifecy-cle maintenance) of the Revised Rehabilitation Plan is $2.6 billion. The 30-year total cost jumps to $3.8 billion when long-term maintenance is included. The city will maintain ownership of the expressway.

Some of the project de-

tails include:• The rehabilitation of the

Expressway, extending from Highway 427 to the eastern limit at Logan Avenue including the 11 km at grade section from Hwy 427 to Dufferin Street with its 32 bridges and structures, and the 7 km elevated section from Dufferin Street to Logan Avenue with 335 spans.

• Incorporates the change of scope for the rehabil-itation of the Gardiner Expressway east of Jar-vis Street based on the future outcome of the Environmental Assess-mentThe AFP procurement

approach enables the proj-ect to qualify for up to one-third funding through Fed-eral programs (P3 Canada Fund and the New Build-ing Canada Fund) subject to the submission of suc-cessful business case ap-plications and could bring in up to $820 million in ad-ditional funding, according to the report.

A Value for Money Analysis has indicated that an AFP procurement would save the City at least 16 per cent or an estimated $500 million over a 30-year rehabilitation and mainte-nance period contract, and could reduce the construc-tion time involving lane re-strictions from 12 years to as little as six years, when compared to the results ex-pected using a traditional multi-phased procurement approach.

The report recommends retaining Infrastructure On-tario (IO) to support the City as the procurement lead in the AFP approach based on the quality of advice and assistance re-ceived to date, combined with IO’s extensive experi-ence in procuring and man-aging large-scale infrastruc-ture projects using the AFP model

Currently, almost all (over 90 per cent) of the maintenance work on the Gardiner is already con-tracted out, including re-surfacing, line-striping, guard rail repairs, and salt-ing and snow clearing op-erations. b

Packers Plus is proud to announce that the ePLUS Retina Monitoring System has won for Best Visualiza-tion & Collaboration at the 2015 World Oil Awards. This award recognizes the data visualization solution that shows the greatest prom-ise in enabling operators to achieve a real-time collab-orative environment with potential for a step-change in operating efficiency.

“We’re very proud of this system and thrilled to receive this recognition,” said Kevin Trahan, Packers Plus Chief Technology Of-ficer. “The Retina provides

operators with a cost-effec-tive way to visualize their multi-stage completions that allows for on-the-fly opera-tional adjustments, ensuring a successful stimulation.”

The self-contained mon-itoring unit operates inde-pendently of a completion system and does not inter-fere with stimulation oper-ations. Specially designed sensors relay information from the well to the Retina monitoring system, which takes up a very small foot-print on location, and there are built in redundancy fea-tures for all measurements to ensure timely and accu-

rate data is being captured.Data from the Retina

monitoring system can be correlated in real-time with surface pressure, as well as slurry flow rate and blend-ed proppant density, to accurately monitor down-hole operations, including: successful ball launch; ball landing on seat; coiled tub-ing sleeve location; port shift confirmation; near wellbore formation break-down; and early detection of potential issues during stimulation.

Since its launch in 2014, the Retina monitoring sys-tem has been deployed in the United States, Canada and Saudi Arabia. The sys-tem has been used to cap-ture data from more than 500 fracture stages. b

Packers Plus Wins World Oil Award


Part of the global Wack-er Neuson Group, based in Munich, Germany, Wacker Neuson Corpora-tion (Wacker Neuson) is a leading manufacturer of equipment for the con-crete, construction, oil and gas, landscape, agricultur-al, utilities and municipal industries. For over five decades, the company has served the United States from its North American headquarters in Wisconsin. Since 1967, Wacker Neu-son has supported the Ca-nadian market with sales offices and distribution fa-cilities in Calgary and To-ronto. The origins of business success in North America

Wacker Neuson can trace its roots back to 1848, when Johann Christian Wacker founded a black-smith shop in the city of Dresden, Germany where the company developed a high-frequency technol-ogy for internal concrete vibrators. The company’s first patent, for an electric rammer designed to com-pact soil, was registered in 1930. Today, as part of the global Wacker Neuson Group, Wacker Neuson

has over 400 patents and utility models and serves a highly diverse range of markets.

Originally known sim-ply as Wacker, the com-pany began manufactur-ing and marketing what has come to be known as “light” equipment in the United States back in 1957. At that time, the company was based in Hartford, WI and was the first affiliate outside of Germany. Build-ing on its ongoing success in the region, the Group invested in a new, larger development and produc-tion facility in Menomonee Falls near Milwaukee, WI, in 1986. Today, this fa-cilitiy spans over 539,000 square feet dedicated to manufacturing, sales, fi-nance, marketing, training and support. Wacker Neu-son products produced in Menomonee Falls include rammers, rollers, trench rollers (soil and asphalt compaction), pumps and generators (worksite tech-nology), and trowels (con-crete technology).

In 2006, Wacker Neu-son decided to enhance its portfolio of heaters and dehumidifiers for the con-

struction sector by pur-chasing Ground Heaters, Inc., a leading manufac-turer of mobile hydronic heaters headquartered in Spring Lake, MI. As the company expanded, Wacker Neuson moved its Michigan operation to a new 168,000-square-foot production site in Norton Shores, MI where heaters, dehumidifiers and light towers are now produced.

In addition to its lead-ership position in the light equipment market, Wack-er Neuson is establish-ing a growing presence in North America for compact equipment. The merger of Wacker and Austrian man-ufacturer Neuson Kramer in 2007 expanded the prod-uct portfolio for the US and Canada to include compact excavators (800 kg to 15 tons), wheel loaders and dumpers. Wacker Neuson is also building a strong reputation for skid steer and compact track loaders. In early 2015, the company rolled its first models off the newly built line at the Menomonee Falls plant.

Skid steer loaders now made in the United States

With R&D, engineering

and manufacturing of two powerful, high-quality skid steer loader models and two compact track loader models now in the United States, Wacker Neuson has increased its competitive edge. “We expect this prod-uct group to drive growth significantly and open up excellent synergies for the entire compact and light equipment portfolio across our US and Canadian dis-tribution network,” says Johannes Schulze Vohren, Regional President North America.

“North America ac-counts for around 80 per-cent of sales for this prod-uct group – making it the largest market worldwide. Adding skid steer loaders to our portfolio enables us to significantly grow our distribution network and expand our reach into the material handling market.”

Introduced at ConExpo 2014, it was very impor-tant to bring product de-velopment and production to North America. “Being

close to our customers and to our products means that we can tailor our skid steer and compact track loaders exactly to market needs and deliver rapidly,” explains Keith Herr, Vice President and Managing Director Engineering and Production Wacker Neu-son North America. “We will also be delivering our skid steer loaders to the global market.”

Wacker Neuson is cur-rently also making targeted efforts to expand its sales platform in South America, Europe and Asia for a wide range of its North American manufactured products.

Certified Dealer Pro-gram - Excellence Award

In 2014, Wacker Neu-son launched its Certified Dealer program, focused on technical training, service, spare parts and branding of Wacker Neuson prod-ucts. The company regu-larly presents its Excellence Award to dealers that excel in certain areas. “Maintain-ing close ties to our deal-

ers strengthens business relations, builds trust and provides us with feedback from the market, enabling us to identify scope for fur-ther improvements in tech-nology, design, quality and service,” explains Jonathan Omer, Vice President and Managing Director Market Development Wacker Neu-son North America. Expanding the business in Latin America

Complementing its growth in North America, Wacker Neuson further strengthened its presence in Latin America with two new affiliates in 2014 – one in Peru (Lima) and one in Columbia (Bogotá). In 2015, Hugo Franz Arce Sanchez was appointed Regional President, respon-sible for sales in the entire region, including Wacker Neuson’s long-time sales affiliates in Mexico (Mexico City), Brazil (Jundiai, near Sao Paulo) and Chile (San-tiago de Chile). b

Oil production from the Organization of the Petro-leum Exporting Countries (OPEC) totalled 31.2 mil-lion barrels per day (b/d) in September, down 60,000 b/d from August as Saudi Arabia further reined in supply, according to a Platts survey of OPEC and oil industry officials and analysts.

“Given the Saudi oil minister’s comments last week and OPEC’s expec-tations of more balanced oil market fundamentals in the second half of next year, all the signals seem to point to yet another roll-over of the current output ceiling in December,” said Margaret McQuaile, senior correspondent for Platts, a leading global provider of energy and commodities information. OPEC minis-ters are next scheduled to meet in Vienna on Decem-ber 4.

Saudi Arabia was the only member country to reduce supply last month.

Small increases totalling 80,000 b/d came from An-gola, Iran, Libya, Nigeria and the United Arab Emir-ates (UAE).

Saudi supply fell back to 10.26 million b/d in Sep-tember from 10.4 million b/d in August, the survey estimated. But participants in the survey see Saudi Arabia’s September dip as a response to market con-ditions rather than as indic-ative of a downward trend in output that might signal a policy change.

The kingdom has been pumping in excess of 10 million b/d since March and told OPEC it produced a record 10.56 million b/d at the wellhead in June.

The 10,000 b/d increase in Iranian output comes as Tehran prepares for the lifting of sanctions that will enable it to increase crude exports from current levels of around 1 million b/d. Iranian officials expect this to happen early next year. The International Atomic

Energy Agency (IAE) ex-pects to issue a final report on Tehran’s compliance with the mid-July nuclear deal by December 15.

Libyan production also rose by 10,000 b/d month on month; although vol-umes are still very low rela-tive to the 1.58 million b/d the country was producing before the 2011 uprising. Earlier this month, on Oc-tober 6, production stood at 426,000 b/d, Mustafa Sanalla, chairman of state-owned NOC, told Platts via email.

Some of the difficulties facing the Libyan oil sec-tor are technical, with on-going problems at fields in the east. At the same time, tribal rivalry has resulted in continued blockades of key oil infrastructure across the country, although last week saw the Zueitina ter-minal re-open to load its first cargo of crude in more than four months.

Uncertainty remains, too, over who will eventu-

ally run Libya, as there is still no political accord be-tween the two rival govern-ments claiming power. No Mechanism

The overall dip in OPEC output in September fol-lows a 140,000 b/d drop in August, which was the first fall since February, and leaves OPEC overpro-ducing its 30 million b/d output ceiling by 1.2 mil-lion b/d. However, even if OPEC wanted to enforce the official limit, which has been in place since the be-ginning of 2012, it has no mechanism for doing so as there are no individual country quotas.

As OPEC’s December 4 meeting approaches, market-watchers will be looking for signals as to the likely outcome. But, nearly a year after the Saudi-led oil producer group decided to defend its share of the world oil market rather than cut production, there is no sign that a policy change may be in the off-ing.

Indeed, remarks by Sau-di oil minister Ali Naimi, published in India’s Eco-nomic Times a week ago, suggest that the world’s top crude exporter has no plans to abandon its cur-

rent strategy, despite prices having fallen by more than half since June last year.

Naimi was quoted as saying that oil prices were determined by the market, that economic producers would “continue to pre-vail” and that OPEC’s mar-ket share would rise.

On Monday, OPEC up-wardly revised its expec-tations of demand for its crude both this year and next to 29.6 million b/d and 30.8 million b/d as it lowered its non-OPEC sup-ply projections. Indeed, it said, demand for OPEC crude could be as high as 31.4 million b/d in the sec-

ond half of next year. The high prices of re-

cent years have enabled independent producers to develop high-cost reserves, including shale oil in the United States. But the price plunge from as high as $115 per barrel (/b) for Brent in mid-June last year has led to most interna-tional oil companies slash-ing spending. The Interna-tional Energy Agency has already forecast a drop of 400,000 b/d drop in U. S. shale oil output -- the main driver of non-OPEC growth -- next year. b

The Petroleum Servic-es Association of Canada (PSAC) released its 2016 Canadian Drilling Activity Forecast. PSAC expects a total of 5,150 wells (rig re-leases) to be drilled in Can-ada in 2016. PSAC’s fore-cast suggests that next year will see the same slumped activity that hit the sector hard in 2015, but indicates the bottom has levelled off as 2015 finishes out with a total forecast of 5,340 wells drilled, in comparison.

PSAC bases its 2016 forecast on average natural gas prices of $2.75 CDN/mcf (AECO), crude oil pric-es of US$53/barrel (WTI), and the Canadian dollar averaging $0.75 USD.

“Low commodity pric-es, oversupply and low cash flows, obviously im-pacted us significantly in 2015, resulting in an over 50% loss of activity from previous year averages. With those same factors continuing we can’t expect anything better for 2016,” said Mark Salkeld, PSAC’s

president and CEO.On a provincial basis

for 2016, PSAC estimates 2,733 wells to be drilled in Alberta, and 1,789 wells for Saskatchewan, holding with the 2015 year-end totals es-timated for those two prov-inces. Manitoba sees a slight improvement in activity, forecasting an increase of 31 wells (or up 12.4%) over last year. Offsetting the gain in Manitoba’s rig counts, British Columbia’s estimate drops by 28% from 2015, to a forecast of 344 wells drilled next year.

For the country as a whole, the 2015 year-end estimate of 5,340 wells drilled and next year’s fore-cast of 5,150 wells, repre-sents drops in activity of over 50% from a five-year average of 11,670 wells per year being drilled before the oil prices collapsed at the beginning of 2015.

“On-going market ac-cess issues, and an envi-ronment of regulatory and policy uncertainty, has meant Canada’s energy

sector hasn’t been able to make anything better out of a bad situation that be-gan in 2015,” said Salkeld. “We have the third largest oil reserves in the world, but have less than 4% of the global market share. We’re resilient, yes, but as a country we need to get on with addressing the is-sues that are limiting our resource sectors, especial-ly our energy resources, from contributing to the country’s prosperity and its reputation as a respon-sible developer of natural resources.” b

Mack Trucks inaugu-rated its new axle line at the Hagerstown, Maryland facility, where Mack pow-ertrain components have been assembled since 1961. The new line is part of a $30 million investment, which brought assembly of all Mack heavy-duty drive axles and machining of Mack carrier housings to the plant.

“Bringing axle produc-tion to Hagerstown allows us to oversee the manu-facturing process – from design to assembly – and deliver the high-quality components our customers depend on,” said Stephen Roy, president of Mack Trucks North America. “Building Mack engines, transmissions and now axles under one roof also demonstrates our contin-ued commitment to inte-grated powertrain design.”

In addition to adding drive axle operations to Hagerstown, the investment was used for upgrades to the engine assembly process

and centralization of after-market core warehousing operations. Production on the new axle line officially began in July.

Powertrain integration has been a pillar of Mack’s design approach for more than 115 years. Through integration, Mack has the ability to engineer its pro-prietary components to work seamlessly together, contributing to optimized vehicle performance and increased fuel efficiency for customers.

Mack proprietary drive axles are engineered with several unique features, including a top load de-sign and spiral bevel gears. Together, these features deliver improved axle ar-ticulation, superior durabil-ity and increased fuel effi-ciency.

Customers seeking even greater fuel efficiency can spec Mack proprietary ax-les in combination with Mack’s Super Econodyne powertrain package. Super Econodyne integrates the

Mack mDRIVE automat-ed manual transmission, Mack MP 7 or MP 8 en-gines and Mack’s custom software to deliver supe-rior fuel efficiency without compromising power or performance. Available on Mack Pinnacle highway models, combining Super Econodyne with Mack pro-prietary axles can increase fuel efficiency by up to 4 percent when compared with similarly spec’d ve-hicles.

“Hagerstown has played a crucial role in powering Mack’s truck models for more than 50 years,” said Pierre Jenny, vice president of powertrain production. “With this new axle man-ufacturing capability, we are truly the birthplace of Mack’s famous Gold Bull-dog, which adorns every Mack model equipped with a complete Mack propri-etary powertrain.”

Mack brought assembly of the Mack mDRIVE auto-mated manual transmission to Hagerstown in 2012. The mDRIVE, standard on the Pinnacle model, offers in-creased fuel efficiency, pro-ductivity and safety to Mack customers. b

Mack Trucks Celebrates New Axle Production Line


In 2015, the number of Liebherr mobile har-bour cranes (LHM) in the Americas continues to rise. Models from across the range have been delivered to various countries.LHM 600 for Terminal 4 in Argentina

The most sought-af-ter LHM model in Latin America over the past five years, type LHM 600, is still in high demand. In Buenos Aires, Terminal 4 S.A. invested in an LHM 600. This new machine is based on a special design. An elongated tower exten-sion ensures that the posi-tion of the tower cabin is higher than 37 metres. Be-sides better sight into the ship for the crane driver, one striking benefit is a higher fulcrum point which eases the handling of bigger vessels. All ad-vantages come without any influence on safety or operational parameters like lifting capacity and travelling speed. In total, the mighty mobile har-bour crane is the seventh LHM for the company and its third LHM 600.Two further LHM 600s to Chile

Two more units of this type are going to be delivered to the South American Pacific coast in the upcoming months. Puerto Lirquén is ex-panding its Liebherr mo-bile harbour crane fleet with their seventh and eighth unit. Like the new LHM 600 for Ar-gentina, both LHM 600s for the Chilean company are equipped with the elongated tower exten-sion in order to ease the handling of bigger ves-sels. Thanks to the new machines, the total num-ber of LHM 600s in Latin America rises to 28 units.Brazilian company goes for LHM 550

A new LHM 550 started operation for Termaco in Fortaleza this summer. It is the first Liebherr mobile harbour crane for the Bra-zilian company. Equipped with a 54 metres boom, the LHM 550 will mainly be used for highly efficient

container handling.Initial orders from Caribbean countries – Haiti, Jamaica and Suriname

A newly built port in the Caribbean is the first Liebherr mobile harbour crane customer in Haiti. In June 2015, Port Lafito received its first mobile harbour cranes. The port opted for two LHM 420s which provide hoisting and lowering speeds of up to 120 metres per minute. Both cranes are equipped with Liebherr’s fleet man-agement system LiDAT. The system allows for crane performance moni-toring and key statistics analysis in order to ensure optimum turnover. Ad-ditionally, crane drivers benefit from simulation-based training programs which are offered in the Liebherr maritime train-ing centre in Miami, USA.

Kingston Wharves Lim-ited opted for their first Lieb-herr mobile harbour crane which will also be the first of its kind in Jamaica. The new LHM 550 is equipped with a tower elongation and a 54 metres boom. It will mainly be used for container han-dling. The machine, which is expected to start operation later this year in Kingston, will be the biggest and stron-gest mobile harbour crane in Jamaica.

N.V. VSH Transport is based in Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname. The stevedoring company provides a wide range of services to its customers. In summer 2015, Liebherr delivered its first mobile harbour crane to the Port of Paramaribo which allows for more flexibility in cargo handling. The main task of the LHM 280 is container handling.Montecon in Uruguay goes big with LHM 800

In 2016, Liebherr is go-ing to deliver the world’s largest mobile harbour crane to Montecon. The LHM 800 is a future-orient-ed addition to Montecon’s existing cargo handling fleet. In container handling configuration the eye level is above 40 metres and

the fulcrum point is above 36 metres which naturally eases the handling of ves-sels. Thanks to its mighty outreach of 64 metres, the LHM 800 is able to ef-ficiently service container vessels which are as wide as 22 container rows.Tropical Shipping new Liebherr mobile harbour crane customer

Tropical Shipping has provided shipping service to The Bahamas and the Caribbean for more than 50 years. Recently, the Ameri-can company has invested in their first Liebherr mo-bile harbour crane, type LHM 420. In summer 2015, the new crane started oper-ation in West Palm Beach, Florida.Bigger cranes for Latin America

Big crane models still dominate the mobile har-bour crane orders from Latin America. In 2015, the LHM 600 is again the fa-vourite choice, as it was in 2013 and 2014. Next year’s delivery of the giant mobile harbour crane LHM 800 to Uruguay will mark a new highlight in this regard. b

TransCanada Cor-poration (TSX:TRP) (NYSE:TRP) (TransCana-da) announced today that it has received final permits from the BC Oil and Gas Commission (BCOGC), giv-ing regulatory approval for the construction and oper-ation of the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline project (PRGT).

“Receiving the full com-plement of 11 pipeline and facility permits is a major milestone for the project, and concludes an exhaus-tive regulatory process that we embarked on more than two years ago,” said Tony Palmer, PRGT president. “Along with the B.C. Envi-ronmental Assessment Cer-tificate received last Novem-

ber, the BCOGC permitting process was the last major regulatory step for PRGT. At the same time, we continue to work towards securing more Project Agreements with First Nations, which provide significant financial benefits while addressing cultural and environmental interests.”

The BCOGC permits cover the entire 900 kilo-metre route from just north of Hudson’s Hope, B.C. to Lelu Island, off the coast of Port Edward, near Prince Rupert. As well, the per-mits approve construction

federal government under the Canadian Environ-mental Assessment Act, 2012. Once approval is re-ceived, and PNW LNG has confirmed its decision to proceed with the project, PRGT will begin site prepa-ration for camp locations and right-of-way clearing, with commencement of pipeline construction activ-ities shortly thereafter.

The PRGT project will provide significant eco-nomic benefits for British Columbians, local and pro-vincial governments and Aboriginal communities as it supports the export of surplus natural gas to glob-al markets, including:• Thousands of short-term

jobs directed at B.C. resi-dents;

• Opportunities for local and Aboriginal busi-nesses;

• Millions of dollars in an-nual taxes to help sup-port local services such as schools, policing, fire protection, and waste management;

• Billions of dollars in new investments for the prov-ince.TransCanada is advanc-

ing the development of ap-proximately $13 billion in

of three compressor sta-tions and a meter station where the gas is to be de-livered to the Pacific North-West (PNW) LNG facility. The PRGT project - approx-imately 780 kilometres of land pipeline and 110 kilo-metres of marine pipeline - will connect the natural gas production in the Montney fields of northeastern B.C. with the proposed PNW LNG liquefaction facility on Lelu Island.

In order for PRGT to proceed with construction, PNW LNG must receive a positive decision from the

natural gas projects in B.C. which will generate signifi-cant construction spending in the province plus taxa-tion, jobs and other ben-efits.

With more than 65 years’ experience, Trans-Canada is a leader in the re-sponsible development and reliable operation of North American energy infra-structure including natural gas and liquids pipelines, power generation and gas storage facilities. Trans-Canada operates a network of natural gas pipelines that extends more than 68,000 kilometres (42,100 miles), tapping into virtually all major gas supply basins in North America. Trans-Canada is one of the con-tinent’s largest providers of gas storage and related ser-vices with 368 billion cubic feet of storage capacity. A growing independent pow-er producer, TransCanada owns or has interests in over 10,900 megawatts of power generation in Can-ada and the United States. TransCanada is develop-ing one of North America’s largest liquids delivery sys-tems. b
