Jennifer Gollan, Reporter: When Brendan Wegner left Wisconsin for the Bakken oil fields, his parents had no idea North Dakota was the deadliest place to work in America.Kevin Wegner, Brendan’s Father: I was happy for him. I didn’t know oil rigs were dangerous.Jennifer Gollan: Brendan was hired to work for a small oil service company.
Kevin Wegner: The guy told him, you put your time in here and in a year, year-and-a-half, you’ll be up over a hundred thousand dollars a year. For a 21-year-old kid, that’s pretty exciting.
Kevin Wegner: If you’ve ever seen a workover rig, there’s stacks of pipes in there. His job would be to stand up there and uncouple them or couple them together. And the day of the accident was actually his first day working on the rig.
Jennifer Gollan: A blowout. Oil shot 50 feet in the air. Brendan was trapped. The well’s operator had injected salt water to make the well safe to work on. Even so, the well exploded.
Jennifer Gollan: Within hours, the rig was a twisted hulk of smoking steel, pinning Brendan’s body under the collapsed wreck. One other worker died. Another lost his legs and later committed suicide. It was the deadliest accident in the Bakken in the last decade.
Eric Brooks, Director of Bismarck Area Office, OSHA: In this particular instance, you had an employee that was up on the mast. And so now you have a fire and explosion. He doesn’t have anywhere to go because your emergency egress line wasn’t installed. So his only avenue would either have been to jump or try to climb down into the flames.
Eric Brooks: First and foremost, we talk about what we call the exposing employer, you know, “I work for you,” that relationship. And that’s where the major accountability holds is with that exposing employer.
Jennifer Gollan: The problem is the exposing employer and the operator of the well are separate companies – which shields energy producers from accountability.
There are many layers of contractors in the oil fields. In this case, Brendan was hired by Carlson Well Service, who in turn was working for Oasis Petroleum North America – they’re part of Oasis Petroleum, based in Houston.
A key way energy companies like Oasis further insulate themselves is to hire what are known as company men. They’re site supervisors – but they’re mostly independent contractors – outside of OSHA’s purview.
Eric Brooks: Company men are essentially the representatives of the oil companies themselves. But ultimately, they are the ones in charge on the sites.
Justin Williams, Wegners’ Lawyer: All the decisions and all the information with regard to that well were made by Oasis. There was no decisions made that reflected a mentality towards safety.
But OSHA gave Oasis cursory attention in its accident investigation. The attorney for Brendan’s parents says the agency lacks a sophisticated understanding of the oil and gas industry – one of its safety reports on the explosion included a quote straight from Wikipedia.
Jennifer Gollan: In fact, that means regulators could not cite the company. A handwritten note from an OSHA investigator shows that while Baltrusch shut down the well the day before the explosion, the investigator still concluded: “No Oasis employee on site.”
“Oasis puts worker and environmental safety first … Any suggestion that Mr. Baltrusch or Oasis Petroleum might have knowingly put workers in danger is patently false.”
Jennifer Gollan: There’s another reason top energy companies are not held accountable. Attorney Paul Sanderson says oil field contracts can shield the companies even when they are responsible for accidents.
Paul Sanderson, Insurance Litigation Attorney: If you’re the person responsible for the accident that caused injury, you know, at the end of the day, you should be the person paying those costs.
Jennifer Gollan: Sanderson crafted an anti-indemnification bill similar to ones that passed in other oil states like Texas. But Sanderson says he was outgunned by the oil lobby.
Paul Sanderson: And by killing this bill, they certainly created a system where they are continued to allow them to shift the responsibility for their own negligence onto other parties.
Dennis Schmitz, Oil Field Safety Consultant: Literally, you got the fox in the henhouse. It’s easy to see why everybody wants to come to North Dakota and do business, because there is no restrictions.
Jennifer Gollan: And that is one reason the Bakken is so dangerous. Schmitz says it’s often hard for contractors to insist on safety if that gets in the way of production.
Dennis Schmitz: If they are incentivized in the wrong way, it is very difficult to tell the person who literally carries the balance of work for your entire company, “No, we can’t do this” or “No, we can’t do it that way because it’s unsafe.”
Jennifer Gollan: Heading to the site of Brendan’s accident, I could see another rig drilling on the very same spot. The new oil well is less than a hundred feet from the one that blew up. A simple wood cross commemorates the spot where Brendan was killed four years ago.
Jennifer Gollan: His parents reached a settlement with Oasis for an undisclosed amount. But the indemnification helped the oil giant pass on part of these costs to their contractor’s insurance company. Brendan’s father says there’s no real incentive for oil companies to keep workers safe.
Kevin Wegner: To them, there’s just dollar signs coming out of the ground. I don’t think they have any regards to how they’re getting it, and I think they should be responsible for the well-being of the people working on their site.
Jennifer Gollan: And now that the price of crude has collapsed, many in the Bakken fear that the pressure to put speed before safety will only increase.
DENVER, Feb 8 (Reuters) - As U.S. oil rises toward $100 a barrel, producers in some high-cost shale basins are buying properties and adding rigs and frack crews in places that fell silent when prices crashed early in the pandemic two years ago.
Benchmark U.S. prices last week topped $93 a barrel, up around 65% in the last 52 weeks and the highest since 2014. U.S. producers are cranking up spending at double-digit rates as fuel demand has soared and fears have waned that OPEC will again punish them by flooding the market with crude that is cheaper to produce.
Some executives say current high prices and relatively low service costs make production economics the best in years. Firms are buying U.S. oil, pipeline and gas processing rivals in a bet that higher prices will more than cover rising costs of labor and equipment.
"Drilling economics today are better than they’ve ever been since the shale revolution started," said Chris Wright, chief executive officer of Liberty Oilfield Services (LBRT.N). Closely held companies, in particular, are accelerating output, he said.
New activity is stirring in secondary oilfields like Colorado"s DJ Basin, Wyoming"s Powder River, Louisiana"s Haynesville and North Dakota"s Bakken shale, which last year lost its spot as the second largest U.S. oil producing region.
Spending budgets among U.S. independent producers are up 13% over a year ago, according to analysts at Cowen. Among secondary fields, the natural gas-rich Haynesville is among the only to fully recover output from the 2020 oil-price crash. Other shale fields, including the second-largest producing oilfield, are adding to holdings and rigs.
"When you look at the oil prices in the Bakken, the prompt price is close to $90 a barrel," said Bob Phillips, chief executive of energy pipeline company Crestwood Equity Partners. "That doesn"t happen very often."
Last week, Crestwood completed a $1.8 billion deal to purchase Oasis Midstream Partners" oil, gas and gas-processing assets in North Dakota and Texas as part of a plan to become a top-three midstream operator in the Bakken, Powder River and Permian shale fields.
Shale dealmaking that leads to more output could accelerate this year, said Andrew Dittmar, who specializes in merger and acquisitions for energy tech firm Enverus.
In Wyoming"s Powder River oilfield, Continental Resources has made several acquisitions since last year, the latest from Chesapeake Energy. That purchase could revive the area"s output, said Crestwood"s Phillips.
Continental is scheduled to release its fourth-quarter results next week and has not yet highlighted its 2022 budget or plan, a spokesperson said.U.S. oil futures are nearing $100 a barrel, and last week traded above $93 a barrel - the highest level since 2014.
Ben Dell, managing partner at energy investor Kimmeridge Management and interim CEO at Colorado"s Civitas Resources, said every basin is enjoying an uplift from higher oil and gas prices.
In the Haynesville shale in East Texas and Louisiana, natural gas production is forecast to hit a record 14.1 billion cubic feet per day this month, according to U.S. government data.
Output gains are happening so fast production forecasts in some areas have proven too low. Data and analysis firm East Daley Capital had estimated Haynesville output would rise 12% this year based on 37 active rigs.
There are 42 now drilling, five more than it expected for the year. "There is further upside to our current forecast," said Rob Wilson, a vice president at East Daley.
Still, outside of Haynesville and the Permian, oilfields lag their peak production. Bakken producer Hess Corp. aims to increase its overall production by 12% to 15% this year, driven by output in the Bakken and Guyana. Chevron plans to boost its Permian shale output 10% and Exxon said it could deliver 25% more oil and gas from its Permian holdings.
In the Bakken, oil output is around 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd), below its 1.52 million bpd late 2019 peak. In the Eagle Ford shale of South Texas, oil is averaging 1.1 million bpd, off the peak 1.7 million bpd in early 2015.
U.S. producers have been adding three rigs per week, but they would need to add 11 rigs per week to hold production at current levels, according to Mizuho analysts.
Ron Ness, head of trade group North Dakota Petroleum Council, said supply chain challenges could limit production gains this year, as could investors demanding higher returns.
"Unless $100 plus oil changes the investment mindset toward growth, I"m not sure we will see 1.5 million barrels per day again" in the Bakken, he said.
