EWN Speaks at Western Regional Gas Conference | |
 | |
From left to right, Robert Clarillos of Southwest Gas, Geoff Isbell of EWN and Sheila Deringis of APGA. |
EWN's Chief Operating Officer, Geoff Isbell, spoke to over 100 participants at the Western Regional Gas Conference in Tempe, Arizona on Succession Planning and Talent Management in a Changing World. The focus of the presentation dealt with the fact that close to 50 percent of employees in the utility sector may be eligible to retire in the next five years and too few younger workers are entering the industry. The presentation challenged participants with the question, "How do you recruit, develop and retain knowledge, skills and experience without losing a step?" The presentation addressed the economic and demographic challenges that currently exist in the utility industry, and discussed why recruiting and retaining our workforce deserves more thoughtful and deliberate attention. The presentation also included several cases studies on best practices being used by EWN clients and the industry.
 The Western Regional Gas Conference is an annual event hosted by the Arizona Utility Group and attended by over 200 utility managers, pipeline safety regulators, vendors and other participants. The event is held at the Tempe Mission Palms Hotel each August in Tempe, Arizona. As part of the week-long event, EWN hosted a come-and-go social networking reception, exhibited and spoke during the conference, and taught a Master Evaluator Certification class.

This Week in History
September 18, 1948 - Oil found in Utah
After searching for oil in Utah for more than 25 years, J. L. "Mike" Dougan, president of the small independent Equity Oil Company, brings in the state's first commercial well in the Uinta Basin - beating out larger competitors Standard Oil of California, Pure Oil, Continental, Gulf, and Union Oil. The discovery launches a drilling boom.
September 21, 1901 - First Oil Discovery in Louisiana
Oil is officially discovered in Louisiana when W. Scott Heywood - already successful thanks to discoveries at Spindletop Hill in Texas earlier in the year - brings in a 7,000-barrel-a-day well on the Jules Clements farm six miles northeast of Jennings.
Although the Jules Clements No. 1 is on only a 1/32 of an acre lease, it marks the state's first commercial oil production and opens the prolific Jennings Field, which Heywood develops by securing leases, building pipelines and storage tanks, and contracting buyers.
September 23, 1918 - Birth of Wood River Refinery
North of St. Louis on the Mississippi River, Roxana Petroleum Company's Wood River (Illinois) Refinery comes online. The refinery processes more than two million barrels of Oklahoma oil in its first year of operation.
Roxana Petroleum Company is the 1912 creation of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group, which also founded the American Gasoline Company in Seattle to distribute gasoline on the West Coast. Roxana is established in Oklahoma to locate and produce the oil to be refined at Wood River.
Today, the Wood River Refinery is owned by ConocoPhillips and is the company's largest.
On September 24, 1951 - Well Perforation Patent uses Bazooka Technology
On September 24, 1951, Henry Mohaupt applies for a U.S. patent for his "Shaped Charge Assembly and Gun" -- bringing to the oil patch his World War II anti-tank "bazooka" technology patented one decade earlier.
Swiss Army veteran and chemical engineer Henry Mohaupt applies to patent his "Shaped Charge Assembly and Gun" - bringing World War II anti-tank technology into the oil patch and down the borehole.
Mohaupt had been in charge of a secret U.S. Army Ordnance Department program to develop an anti-tank weapon. His idea of using a conically hollowed out explosive charge to direct and focus detonation energy ultimately produced the 60 millimeter rocket grenade. The new weapon was used in the Army's M1A1 Rocket Launcher - the GI's greatly appreciated bazooka.
After the war, the industrial potential of these shaped charges prompted Well Explosives Company of Fort Worth, Texas, to employ Mohaupt in their effort to develop systems for safely perforating cement casing and pipe to facilitate flow from oil-bearing strata.
September 24, 1943 - Natural Gas Pipeline will link Texas to Appalachia
As natural gas shortages threaten World War II industrial production in northern Appalachia, the Federal Power Commission issues a "Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity" authorizing construction of a pipeline to link Texas natural gas fields to Appalachia by the winter of 1944.
A subsidiary of the Chicago Corporation, Tennessee Gas and Transmission Company, builds the 1,265-mile pipeline through seven states, negotiating right-of-way with more than 12,000 individual landowners in 70 counties.
