800, 540-5 Ave. SW, Calgary, Alberta T2P 0M2
Hello everyone. I trust the first quarter of 2010 was a welcomed shift from the first
quarter of 2009. Many people have been working hard and surely welcome a longneeded break from a productive winter drilling and completions season.
It has been an exciting winter for CADE. We have continued forward planning
for the annual spring conference. Doug Hollies and a great group of volunteers have
trudged forward and have laid the groundwork for another great conference. The 2010
conference, titled “Innovative Solutions for Unconventional Challenges,” will take
place at the Calgary Telus Convention Centre on May 26, 2010. We recently launched
our new website for the conference, which can be found through www.cade.ca or
directly at www.drillingconference.ca. Attendee registration is currently being accepted
via the newly developed, secure online system.
CADE has initiated its first-ever education program. This year it will be associated
with and follow the CADE conference. Details of the two-day seminar/workshop will
be available shortly. Please watch the CADE website for further details and registration.
CADE is an organization built on networking and sharing of people, ideas, and stories. I cannot emphasize enough throughout the year that we need you and your experience. Every winter, drilling and completions season has its set of disappointments
and victories. It is these stories I encourage you to share with your fellow colleagues
through CADE. If you have an interest in doing this, please contact anyone at CADE
and we will be sure to facilitate your efforts. We have accepted over 30 abstracts for the
conference, which is outstanding, and I applaud your contribution to your industry.
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to our sponsors. You have provided
needed financial support when it hasn’t been easy. We sincerely appreciate your support and vision in keeping our organization running.

MEMBER PROFILE
Kyle Klam
SAIT Student/SAIT-CADE Liaison
Tell us about the Petroleum Technology program at SAIT.
It’s an excellent program that condenses practical engineering theory
into a two-year course. It focuses on reservoir, drilling, production, and
geological engineering. It is producing many high-quality graduates,
many of whom have their resumés online. If anyone would like to consider a SAIT grad for one of their positions, I have a collection of student’s
resumés for them to browse through.
Why did you choose Petroleum Technology?
I started as a roughneck, and thanks to good luck and hard work, I
found myself moving up the ladder very quickly. I got to the point
in my career where I realized that all that was left for me to do was
to sit on the rigs until I turned 50. I decided that I needed to set
myself apart from the crowd and I felt an education was the best
way to do that.
Describe your background and interests.
I come from the small town of Lacombe, Alberta (outside of Red Deer).
Currently I am consulting on the service side of the industry running
completion tools. I hope to travel the world with my family once we are
a little more established. I have done a bit of backpacking and almost
have my first passport filled.
What are your career aspirations?
In the short term, I am going to be looking to do wellsite supervision. I
am also trying to grow my oilfield rentals company. I’m hoping to use it
as a savings account so maybe I could buy a well or two when I’m older.
Eventually I would like to run a completions department or partner into
an engineering company.
Why did you decide to become the SAIT-CADE liaison?
It gives me a chance to help people. I get to meet and get to know a
lot of great students at SAIT. When I go downtown I get to meet CADE
members. I’m just hoping to talk to CADE members and facilitate them
meeting the right graduate. We have a ton of talent at SAIT, but not
everyone knows how to meet the right people. If I can help make that
happen then I’m happy.
What do you like to do when you are not working or
studying?

Well I’m working full-time in the field and going to school. I also spend a
lot of time with my son, so between those three there isn’t much time for
other things. My other interest would definitely be snowboarding.

Editor’s Note
Welcome to the third-last issue of Canadian Well Construction Journal under our 2010 executive. It’s been a dramatic year of change for CADE,
and the executive committee has done a great job this year developing value for the membership.
Under Patrick Murphy’s watch, we have launched our first full year of the new look of the Canadian Well Construction Journal, and we have
redesigned the website with great results so far. Kudos to our forward-thinking leaders from the last several years.
We have been trying to publish stories that you’ve been asking for. There was a concern that we weren’t spending enough time on safety.
So this year we’ve run a safety story almost every month and presented a moving luncheon on the ramifications of accidents in the field. If you
have any issues you’d like to see, please email me and we will do our best to cover the story.
This is the last issue before the CADE/CAODC Conference, and we are featuring more information inside. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing you at the conference.

Abstract: Calcium humate reduces disposal costs by lowering electrical conductivity and sodium
absorption ratio in potassium silicate-based drilling waste
The salinity of drilling waste plays a pivotal role in selecting the waste management method and
subsequent cost for waste disposal. Endpoints for salinity have been set by Alberta Environment and
adopted by the Energy Resources Conservation Board in Directive 50: Drilling Waste Management.
Disposal methods are subsequently determined by the initial soil and final soil/waste salinity endpoints as measured by increases in:
• electrical conductivity (EC)
• sodium absorption ratio (SAR)
• sodium content
A major factor in the salinity of the drill waste is the choice of drilling fluid additives. The challenge for
advanced gel chem systems is the need to provide adequate shale inhibition without producing drilling
waste with excessively high salinity values. Potassium silicate has proven to be a highly effective shale
inhibitor with a lower EC versus other commonly used potassium additives. However, SAR values for potassium silicate drill waste are high as a result of the silicate precipitating calcium and magnesium. Historically,
SAR has been lowered by the use of gypsum and/or epsom salts. The decrease in SAR comes at the expense
of higher EC values.
This paper reviews the technical collaboration between suppliers, service companies, and operators that
led to the development of humic substances as a superior waste amendment. The chemistry of certain humic substances allows this negatively charged macromolecule to absorb and release metal cations. Calcium
humate has been shown to improve the salinity characteristics of water-based drilling waste and more
specifically, potassium silicate–based drilling waste. Amendment testing was done on a wide variety of drill
waste samples obtained from leases across Alberta. Final testing and field trial work focused on drill waste
and subsoil obtained from leases near Claresholm, Alberta.
Potassium silicate drill waste amended with calcium humate showed sharp drops in SAR and EC. A mixture of three parts subsoil to one part drill waste showed a decrease of up to 15 per cent for EC and 30 per
cent for SAR. The addition of a small percentage of calcium humate resulted in drill waste that would qualify
for land spreading or require a lower ratio for mix-bury-cover.
Bio: Robin was raised in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and attended the University of Saskatchewan. He is an Alberta and British Columbia registered
professional agrologist and co-owner of Summit Liability Solutions, an environmental service and consulting firm operating here in western
Canada. Robin holds bachelor degrees in agriculture (environmental science) and education (biology, English). His primary role at Summit as the
vice-president of reclamation and remediation services has Robin very busy managing a group of nearly 50 people and associated projects out
of their Calgary office. Robin has presented multiple educational workshops on the reclamation process and related topics at Enform to students
and workers in our industry. Robin has significant history and experience with Drilling Waste Management with over 10 years of experience in
the industry. His career path has taken him to all parts of western Canada and overseas for a brief assignment in Yemen.

Conference News
Annual Drilling Conference
Program Set
by Aimée Barnabé
The abstracts are in and the selection process is now complete for the 2010 CADE/CAODC
Drilling Conference. An impressive number and variety of exceptional presentations were
put forward for consideration this year. The depth of submissions has allowed the technical committee to proceed with the plan to run concurrent sessions for the first time
since the inception of the event. Technical committee co-chair Mark Scholz explained,
“More authors and presentations have a forum, and delegates will now be able to
choose which specific session appeals to them. This is an exciting step forward in the
development of the conference.”
Scholz released the list of session themes on the slate for the event:
➤ Risk management, planning, and safety
➤ Managed pressure drilling
➤ Completions
➤ Directional drilling
In addition to the announcement of the lineup of the segments of technical presentations, the keynote speaker for the luncheon portion of the event has been confirmed:
Peter Tertzakian, chief energy economist and managing director of ARC Financial, will speak
at the event. Tertzakian is an energy expert, columnist, and book author. His two books, A
Thousand Barrels a Second and The End of Energy Obesity, both examine the transformation of
the global energy sector through economic, environmental, and geopolitical pressures. His rise
from the trenches of hands-on oil exploration fieldwork to become an internationally recognized,
top-ranked oil expert in energy matters has been attributed to his background in geophysics,
economics, and finance, as well as his entrepreneurial spirit.
Committee member Jason Tiefenbach was thrilled to finalize Tertzakian’s appearance at the
luncheon.
“Giving delegates the opportunity to gain insight from an expert like Peter Tertzakian really enhances our program. Our audience wants to know what the economic, environmental, and financial future looks like for our industry.”

Safety Alert (#04–2010 )
Worker injured while servicing coiled reel drive chain
and rotating joint
Function: Coiled Tubing Servicing
Incident Type: Injury Incident
Release Date: March 22, 2010
Location: Canada, Northern Alberta
Summary
A worker was injured while lubricating a coiled tubing reel drive chain that was in motion.
Description of Incident
While performing a coiled tubing cleanout on a well, a worker was injured as he was lubricating the coiled reel drive chain. The worker stood
beside the moving reel and sprayed chain lubricant onto the chain. The can of lubricant began to lose pressure, so the worker moved closer to
the drive chain. A spoke on the reel caught the workers arm, which was pulled into the support pedestal and resulted in a severe laceration to
his forearm.
Recommendations for Preventing Future Incidents:
Preventive maintenance must not be performed on any moving equipment. When maintenance is required during a well servicing operation,
the coiled tubing reel and rotating joint must be stopped and secured from any unintentional movement. During maintenance operations,
communication needs to be maintained between the equipment operator and maintenance worker to ensure all personnel are clear of the
hazardous area before the operator reactivates the equipment.
Recommended Equipment Modifications (Engineering Controls)
Companies may wish to consider installing remote or automatic lubricating devices on the coiled tubing reel drive chain to prevent unintentional access to moving equipment.
Other Recommendations (Other Controls)
➤C
ompanies
may wish to install a barrier around the coiled tubing reel to limit or prevent unintentional access to the area near the
rotating equipment.
➤ All coiled tubing companies should review their procedures for equipment servicing during coiled reel drive chain and rotating joint servicing operations, and revise as needed.
➤ Coiled tubing companies may wish to place warning signs to indicate to new workers, other workers, or visitors that rotating equipment
hazards are present.
➤ Companies may wish to use an approved reflective tape or reflective paint to help workers identify when the reel is in motion.
Other Information:
This alert has been reviewed by the Intervention & Coiled Tubing Association and will be forwarded to the IRP 21 Coiled Tubing Operations
working committee.
