Energy Industry Experts Weigh in On Latest Rystad Energy shale well study indicating potential answer for accelerated productivity declines

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. -- Rystad Energy, one of North America's most respected energy research firms, recently completed a second study of nearly 900 shale wells in the Permian basin in West Texas. The study compares wells completed using in-basin sand (IBS) with wells completed with northern white sand (NWS), says the Wisconsin Industrial Sand Association (WISA).

Although In-Basin Sand dominates the Permian Market, the study's results suggest that even in the short term, the majority of wells would deliver higher productivity using Northern White Sand.

The study, the second in a series, examines three years of historical data obtained from nearly 900 West Texas Permian Basin shale wells. The latest Rystad Study shows that in 85% of the cases studied, the short-term cash benefits of completing wells with IBS were negated within the first year or two, with the productivity divergence growing yearly.

Penny Aschenbrenner of Material Spec Labs, which specializes in sand testing, said, "The physical properties of IBS and NWS proppants provide a logical explanation for the difference in production."

Material Spec Labs uses API (American Petroleum Institute) testing methods to test frac sand for its customers.

"Our job is to test the sand for the physical properties the customer is paying for," says Aschenbrenner. She states, "The concept isn't new. It's sometimes difficult to conceptualize proppant properties and their functionality due to the foreign nature of micro measurements. But if we relate the problem to something we are familiar with, the answer is obvious."

Ashenbrenner was not surprised by the negative impact of IBS on the wells and questioned whether any technically capable engineer would be either, "The science is pretty simple," Ashenbrenner states, "the sand is exposed to extreme pressures and conditions in a well. It is easy to see that the lower-strength sand will crush and possibly clog a well much sooner than a higher-quality proppant. That's what you see in the lab, and it's highly probable that it's happening downhole."

NWS became widely used when the shale revolution began because of its high strength, high purity, and very round silica sand was used to prop open the fractures induced by the hydraulic fracturing process. Hydraulic fracturing uses water, sand, and chemicals to fracture shale rock deep beneath the earth's surface. Once the fracturing has occurred, the fluids are returned to the surface, and the sand remains to keep the fractures "propped" open, which is why the industry terms the sand: "proppant."

The Rystad study challenges the industry's most recent choices. Executives probably did the right thing at the right time for their stakeholders by adapting IBS. When oil and gas prices plummeted, producers had already spent their cash on growing production, with many outspending their cash flow by completing more wells than needed. This ultimately led to overproduction and caused prices to crash heading into the pandemic. By the time Covid hit, and prices crashed, many producers were running out of cash, perhaps staring down bankruptcy. Their only option was to reduce costs, and using IBS was an obvious, short-term solution.

IBS may have been a company-saving strategy, but its use carried an unforeseen long-term expense. As illustrated in the Rystad findings, decreased well productivity and longevity are now being felt by those companies, their shareholders, the mineral rights holders, and possibly, U.S. energy security in general. Despite the early indication that production would stay the same, according to the production data studied by Rystad, wells completed with IBS now reveal accelerated economic losses in the hundreds of thousands of dollars per well after only a few short years compared to wells completed with NWS. That spread only grows more significant as oil and gas prices increase.

Other explanations abound. Some industry CEO's are now blaming the rock quality itself for accelerating declines in the past few years. Others fall back on well proximity, sometimes called the "Parent/Child" effect. The Rystad Study supports the observation that switching to IBS is highly correlated with accelerating decline rates.

The Rystad study suggests serious consideration of the science, and a revisit to the proppant decision choices. Higher energy prices and demand, the ongoing interest in energy independence, and safety and environmental considerations mandate that oil and gas wells run optimally. Mineral rights holders, energy investors, landowners, and energy workers have significant vested economic interests.

Vector Structural Engineering Opens New Office in Utah to Increase Engineering Student Opportunities

OREM, Utah -- Vector Structural Engineering ("Vector") is excited to announce that it's opening a new office in Orem, Utah. This office will focus mainly on the work that its college interns can perform, which includes supporting full time project engineers for tasks on larger projects and also helping to analyze existing residential homes where rooftop solar panels are being installed.

"The location was near a couple of college campuses and we have several student interns working for us so we're hoping to get more of the cream of the crop by being closer to a campus," Jacob Proctor, principal, Vector Structural Engineering, says.

Vector is working to develop engineering processes where projects can be broken down into smaller tasks and their plan is to train interns to help with those tasks. Having an office located near campus will allow them to more efficiently grow this part of the business.

Eric Sumsion, a senior engineer who has been with the company for nearly 10 years, will lead the charge at this new location where there are currently 22 people working out of the office. And the office is conveniently located near the mouth of the Provo Canyon.

"I'm sure that some employees will also take advantage of the fly fishing during their lunch hour," Sumsion says.

Orem is located in the Utah County of Utah and is known for its stunning views of the Wasatch Mountains and its location near outdoor recreation destinations. The city has a thriving economy and is home to numerous high-tech companies and educational institutions. It also offers a rich cultural and recreational experience with parks, museums, shopping centers and more.

"I'm excited for the opportunity to provide jobs to more engineering students, and the growth that we will be able to achieve as a company with this office," Proctor says.

About Vector Structural Engineering:

Vector Structural Engineering is a full-service structural engineering company licensed in all 50 states plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario). Founded in 2002, it has completed thousands of projects across the nation and in Canada. The majority of its business is from clients who have been with Vector for years. Its engineering team includes 27 licensed engineers and 30 project managers across six offices.

Vector Structural Engineering Opens New Office in Texas

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Vector Structural Engineering is excited to announce that it's opening a new office in Arlington, TX. The reason behind this opening is two-fold: to expand its presence to better serve clients in need of excellent structural engineering services in Texas; and to help employees achieve their career goals.

Scott Van Hoose will lead the charge in this new location and he was largely responsible for its opening. When he approached the company about running his own office, they asked him quite simply, "Where?"

"We really wanted to help Scott grow in his career and when he decided he wanted a chance to run his own office, we didn't want to lose him," Jacob Proctor, CEO, Vector Structural Engineering, says. "Scott is a valuable, loyal employee and has shown that he is trustworthy and a very capable engineer."

Scott had a few states on the table that included California and Florida too, but he landed on Texas because his spouse has family in the region. Currently, there are three full-time engineers in the office and there's room to grow.

Scott's experience is mostly with miscellaneous steel structures, working with steel fabricators to design railings, and stairs, as well as signs and bridges. He also has experience with steel connections and prefabricated metal buildings. Vector's main office has vast experience with designing custom homes and residential businesses.

Proctor shares that all of Vector's engineers have access to a network of structural engineering experts throughout the company in order to serve diverse engineering needs and populations.

"I hope to be able to provide a client-oriented structural engineering service that focuses on providing a quality, economical design while ensuring client satisfaction," Van Hoose says.

The office also hopes to work closely with engineering students in the area to help them gain experience while going to school.

"We're excited about the opportunity to serve the community, and the growth potential for Vector by having our first office in Texas," Proctor says.

We Inspect Acquires Certified Mold Inspections and The Mold Guy: Customers Benefit

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- We Inspect, LLC, a global mold inspection, consulting and health technology company, recently acquired Certified Mold Inspections and The Mold Guy. Its acquisitional goal is to unify these individually-owned family businesses under one name and to better serve the community as a whole.

We Inspect was founded in 2018 by Corey Levy and Brian Karr; Certified Mold Inspections was founded by Steve Levy in 2004; and The Mold Guy was established by Mark Levy in 2005. As individual companies, the Levy family serviced different territories and were collectively known as the number one mold and biotoxin resource for medical practitioners across the country.

"These acquisitions have provided the company with the expertise and human capital needed to expand its educational and consulting capabilities, allowing it to fulfill its mission of empowering people everywhere with the tools and services they need to create healthy homes," Karr says.

Streamlining the family business under the one We Inspect name, will now allow it to serve significantly more mold-sensitive individuals by deploying its 42 years of experience across in-person home inspections, remote consulting and educational offerings.

Unlike other mold inspection companies that rely on antiquated inspection and testing practices which oftentimes dismiss the presence of mold contamination in homes, We Inspects' #FindProveRemove framework has been shaped by the most current scientific findings and proven by more than $20 million dollars of successful mold remediations.

"The majority of mold contamination in homes is hidden, but most mold inspection companies don't understand how to find it," Karr says. "They often rely on outdated testing methods that provide false negatives 70 percent of the time which is dangerous and gives occupants a false sense of security and perpetuates chronic illness."

Karr says that what sets them apart from other mold inspection companies is their ability to find the hidden sources of mold contamination in a home.

"Once we know where it's coming from, it can be remediated and the occupant can begin to heal in their home," he says.

Additional advantages of streamlining these businesses include free training and actionable resources for medical practitioners and their patients (bridging communication gaps), #moldfinders: RADIO podcast, scholarships, discounts for mold-affected people worldwide, DIY home screens and consulting services for anyone regardless of where they live or their financial situation.

About We Inspect, LLC:

We Inspect is a global mold inspection, consulting, and health technology company that helps mold-sensitive individuals regain their health through education and the environmental assessment and testing of their homes and buildings for mold, mycotoxins and other indoor pathogens. It has helped thousands of people across six continents to create homes that support their ability to heal from mold-related illnesses.

ACE Home Services Donates New A/C Unit to Deserving Local in 4th Annual ‘Honor Our Angels’ Giveaway

PHOENIX, Ariz. -- ACE Home Services, a leading provider of HVAC and plumbing services in the Phoenix metropolitan area, is proud to announce its fourth annual air conditioning unit giveaway. This year, the company has chosen to honor the hard work and dedication of local community member, Sandra Saldana, by providing her with a brand new A/C unit, valued up to $10,000.

Sandra is the founder of Sponsor Orphans in TJ, a charity organization that is dedicated to bringing joy and support to children in orphanages in Baja, California. Sandra began her mission a year ago when she visited her first orphanage to thank the facility for taking care of her cousin, Max, while her aunt was in the process of adopting him. The experience of bringing joy to the children and seeing their faces light up moved Sandra to set a goal of visiting all 100 orphanages and providing orphans with school supplies, backpacks, and toys in Baja, California. Since then, her organization has been able to help 395 children in just one year.

ACE Home Services is honored to be able to contribute to Sandra's mission and looks forward to continuing to support her efforts in the future. The company encourages others to get involved and support organizations like Sponsor Orphans in TJ that are making a positive impact in their communities. ACE Home Services hopes that this small act of kindness of providing Sandra with a new unit will help bring comfort to a person that does so much for others.

For Sandra, winning a new HVAC system is timely as her unit, which was installed when her home was built in 1971, has not been working for some time and she has not had the opportunity to upgrade it herself. ACE's installation team will begin the installation process on February 8th.

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to give back to someone who has given so much to our community," said John Trimble, President of ACE Home Services. "Sandra's dedication to helping children in need is truly inspiring, and we are proud to support her in any way we can."

ACE Home Services is committed to making a positive impact on the Phoenix-area community it serves. Throughout each year, the company supports a variety of community outreach programs such as hosting annual Salvation Army Water Drives, A/C Veteran Giveaways, St. Mary's Food Bank Food Drives, donating to Puppies Behind Bars and Homes for Our Troops, and sponsoring AZTV's Hometown Heroes Toy Drive. In addition to these efforts, ACE is also a proud partner of the Wounded Warrior Project which raises money for injured, post 9/11 veterans, and offers discounts for all military members and first responders.

The company is always looking for new ways to give back to the community and make a difference. The company has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and provides support for businesses and homes in more than 28 cities, including air-conditioning installation, maintenance and repair, heating equipment placement, bathroom remodeling, water softeners and heaters, water leak protection, heating replacement, and more.

Rackley Roofing Wins Prestigious 2022 Commercial Roofing Contractor of the Year Award

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- "Roofing Contractor," the roofing industry's leading national magazine, recently announced its pick for Commercial Roofing Contractor of the Year - Rackley Roofing. The award was announced at the magazine's 18th annual "Best of Success" conference which took place December 4-6 at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess in Phoenix, AZ.

"It's such an honor to be recognized as the Commercial Roofing Contractor of the Year," Curtis Sutton, president and CEO, Rackley Roofing, says. "It's clear that our unmatched customer service, safety, and documentation have paid off in more ways than one."

Rackley Roofing practices their core values (humble, hungry, smart, innovative, customer-focused and accountable) daily. Their employee recruitment campaign demonstrates how inclusive they are by empowering people from all walks of life to excel within the company.

"Roofing Contractor" recognized that Rackley Roofing invests in the latest training and doesn't skimp on developing the best people. They saw their passion for community and for pushing boundaries.

"True stars rise to the top not by chance but through purpose and passion," said Jill Bloom, Group Publisher of "Roofing Contractor" Magazine. "Rackley's purpose and passion shine bright through the way they care about their people. There's so much more I could say about them! We are honored to have them as our Commercial Roofing Contractor of the Year!"

Though all of Rackley Roofing's core values are seen in their day-to-day operations, their core value of "innovate" is a focus for Rackley Roofing as they leverage technology throughout the roofing process. In 2019, they were the recipient of the Roofing Technology Think Tank - RT3 Innovator of the Year award, which honors contractors for technical innovation and product development.

"The Rackley team lives their core values, making marketing their company a true delight. Nothing is fake or exaggerated; they truly are the best of the best," Anna Anderson, CEO of Art Unlimited, a marketing agency, that provides services to Rackley, says.

Sutton's approach to marketing is out-of-the-box, but stays on track - literally. He created a NASCAR team which stems from his love of racing and desire to be the best of the best where he decided to bring these two worlds together. The NASCAR team, Rackley WAR, is bringing the world of roofing to millions of users and daily expands the Rackley Roofing brand saturation.

"When you invest in a brand, you'll see results," Sutton says.

Transforming the industry is what Rackley Roofing does and will continue to do. Every day they're looking for new ways to revolutionize the roofing industry, and they do just that one roof at a time.

About Rackley Roofing:

According to CW Service Pros – There’s A New Reason To Upgrade Your Heating and Cooling System Sooner Than 2023

LEWISVILLE, Texas -- In 2023, the HVAC industry is expected to experience major price increases in the production of new heating and cooling systems due to higher standards in SEER rating systems* taking effect in the new year. Consumers can benefit now by purchasing new HVAC systems before the close of 2022 while SEER standards remain at lower ratings, says CW Service Pros.

CW Service Pros Office Manager Karen Edmonds states, "There's a price hike coming on heating and cooling (HVAC) equipment January 2023. If your HVAC system is on the older side or you are considering replacing it soon, replacing it now could save you a lot of money."

She also stated that both by purchasing and installing a new system before the price increase and by the savings offered - "you will benefit from higher efficiency equipment."

PRICE INCREASES IN THE HVAC INDUSTRY

The U.S. Department of Energy uses SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) ratings to evaluate heating and cooling equipment efficiency. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the system is. These ratings ensure all systems meet minimum standards of effectiveness and efficiency. They also help consumers compare and evaluate different systems and make good purchasing decisions.

The Department of Energy has revised its SEER guidelines for 2023 and a 20 SEER system is now considered a 19.2 SEER2 system. As of January 2023, Texas will be phasing out low SEER equipment to establish a higher efficiency standard in both new construction and existing homes. The minimum energy-efficiency standards are being raised for all cooling and heating systems. At the same time, a new SEER ratings system, called SEER2, will go into effect. The new SEER2 system uses different testing conditions and is a more accurate way to evaluate HVAC efficiency.

Due to the coming changes according to Karen Edmonds, "HVAC manufacturers are redesigning HVAC components to meet the new SEER2 requirements. As a result, prices are said to increase on new HVAC systems and components as of January 2023 as much as 30%."

Karen continues, "Once the new regulations go into effect, any units that don't meet the new requirements can't be sold or installed. It is against the federal law to sell or install this equipment after the New Year."

ADDITIONAL REASONS TO UPGRADE NOW

There is another great reason to upgrade now according to Karen, especially if your current HVAC system is older than 10 years or out of warranty. Replacing an old system won't just save you from having to pay more upfront; over time, it'll also save you money because new HVAC systems cost less to operate.

New HVAC models are much more energy-efficient than older ones. They use less energy and provide more heating and cooling power, even compared to models that are only 5 to 10 years old.

If you've been planning to upgrade or replace your current HVAC system in the near future, there are solid reasons to go ahead and get it done before the end of 2022.
