Examples of information that are searched out and made into data layers include: Recent aerial photography All federal, state and local parks, wildlife management areas, forests, public lands
Tax maps and associated landowner information Foreign pipelines and other utilities that cross the proposed route Road, railroad and water body crossings Jurisdictional boundaries of states, counties, cities Native American ownership or interests Federal and state threatened and endangered species Wetlands and other environmentally sensitive properties This listing is a sample of the information that may be developed into data layers for eventual incorporation into the GIS viewer to use in preparing the desktop routing study. Once the data layers have been developed and added to the viewer, the routing team meets and begins the process of laying out the pipeline route.
or, the client wishes to avoid routing the pipeline in greenfield or environmentally sensitive areas. In many instances, regulatory and resource management agencies can dictate the complete avoidance of impacts to environmentally sensitive areas in the development of the route. In most cases, when complete avoidance of environmentally sensitive areas is not possible, regulatory and resource management agencies will request routing that minimizes and mitigates those impacts. When preparing the desktop routing study, these impacts are weighed and route deviations are developed, or, construction techniques such as horizontal directional drills are used to avoid or minimize the impacts. Besides environmental factors, engineering and design issues are taken into account in the selection of a successful pipeline route. These include: the future location of pump/compressor stations, valve sites, storage yards, inter-connects, meter sites, temporary and extra temporary workspace, drill layouts, access roads, topography, hydraulics and numerous other variables.
lands are more common in the southwestern and western United States, while critical wetlands and Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) properties are more commonly found in the midwest and southeastern United States. Man-made structures such as rivers and hurricane protection levees can require a large amount of engineering and planning prior to obtaining approval from those jurisdictions to cross land and features that those authorities own or manage. Additionally, highways and railroads always have their own specific crossing requirements that need to be taken into consideration during the planning stage. In recent years, nature conservancy programs have increased in numbers and level of activity and can create barriers to the pipelines routing depending on the language in the conservation easement and whether a utility corridor might have been reserved for such potential crossings. In all cases, it is important to identify these potential barriers early in the routing process so they can be investigated to determine the best way to traverse the properties or decide if a re-route or slight route deviation will be required.
ground-truthing the route. As with the desktop routing process, a core team will be selected to participate in this phase of the study. In addition, if the proposed pipeline route is a long cross country pipeline, it could be more cost efficient to fly the route with either a helicopter or fixed winged aircraft while shooting video footage as a means of tying the route to fixed points using GPS. In this way the video can be reviewed, and specific areas of concern can be visited on the ground. In most cases, route verification by ground will be limited to looking at the proposed pipeline route from public roads. When this is the only alternative, the best practice is to take pictures at each public access point both upstream and downstream of the proposed route using a GPS camera. The GPSidentified pictures may then be downloaded and made a part of the GIS database for the proposed route. In many cases the proposed pipeline project is still in the confidential stage and has not been introduced to the local residents, local governments or other local stakeholders. In such instances, special precautions must be taken to minimize any attention by potential stakeholders. Experienced route selection personnel have the skills to discuss only pertinent facts about the project so as not to divulge the name of the client or any confidential information that may reveal details about the size or product to be transported by the proposed pipeline. If initial contact with these stakeholders is negative or intrusive, then future issues may arise with those same stakeholders when they are approached again during the survey permission and acquisition stages of the project. It is also important to remember that any information provided to governmental agencies can become a matter of public record and can be requested through the Open Records Act. Therefore, inquiries to such agencies are handled much the same way as with private stakeholders, that is, with discretion as not to unwittingly disclose the confidential nature of the project.
Going Public
Once the proposed route has been defined and reviewed in the field, the information is now ready for use in developing detailed cost estimates, routing maps for meetings, engineering studies and other project activities that will facilitate the authorization and approval of the pipeline project. The acceptance and approval of the proposed selected route by federal, state, and local leaders is an important component of selling the project to the local communities and landowners impacted by the proposed pipeline. It is suggested that once the operating company is prepared to go public with the proposed project, a public relations plan be developed prior to any meetings with major stakeholders who may significantly affect the successful outcome of the project.
Conclusion
A well selected route, chosen with input from all disciplines and proofed both in the office and the field, can save money in the time and labor needed to acquire that route, as well in the cost of the actual construction and materials for building the pipeline. There are hundreds of factors and variables in the selection of a pipeline route, and how all these factors are taken into consideration during the routing phase of the project often dictates the success or failure of the project.

Its been said that attending a trade show without preparation is simply a waste of time and money.
STOP being a show off, your parents told you. Well, for a moment, forget their advice. When it comes to your business, you need to show off. And one of the best ways to do it is to get involved in a trade show. An estimated 110 million people attend more than 4,000 shows in the United States and Canada every year, and those numbers are increasing, says the Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council. Surveys show that customers rate the importance of trade shows above trade magazine articles and regular sales contacts in terms of helping them make buying decisions.gmsdc.org.
Trade shows have distinct advantages over more passive forms of marketing. For one thing, people who attend are actively seeking out information. Trade shows are an extremely cost-effective outlet to showcase your products and services, write specialists Sara J. Gurney and Bob Romig in an Ohio State University web page. ohioline.osu.edu. Most people who attend trade shows have some type of influence in purchasing. Hence, this is a prime opportunity for you to show them how your product works or what the advantages are to your services. But you must prepare.

PREPARATION Its been said that attending a trade show without preparation is simply a waste of time and money. Yet, this crucial ingredient to success is often overlooked. Its always amazing how many exhibitors just leap into their show schedule without any game plan, says Missouri-based trade show consultant Marlys K. Arnold, quoted in the East Bay Business Times. With a systematic plan, an exhibiting program not only becomes more focused but more manageable as well. If youre going to participate in a trade show, then, have clearly in focus why youre there, what you want to accomplish, and how you plan to accomplish it. You cant just show up at a show and expect miracles to happen, says expert Susan Friedmann, CSP (Certified Speaking Professional). Following are some factors to consider.
What is your objective in attending? Is it to network with others in your field? Is it to generate leads that in time will lead to sales? Or is it to sell your products right then and there? Have your goals clearly in focus. How will you design your booth? Everything about your exhibitfrom ordering of telephone, carpet, and furniture, to arranging for setup, security, and dismantlingmust be planned long before the event. Some say six to eight weeks in advance. To design an effective exhibit, first think about the image you want to project. For example, if your company supplies outdoor goods, you might want a woodsy, rustic look. In contrast, a high-tech computer firm would probably opt for a moderneven futuristicdcor. Second, consider how you will convey your message. This is especially challenging if your are
selling services rather than products, Monique Reece Ryan writes in the Denver Business Journal. There is no way to see, touch, smell or hold a service, she says. Therefore you cant sell a service by reviewing the features. You must state how those features translate into benefits. And the benefits you provide in your sales pitch must match your customers criteria for what they state they need and want.denver.bizjournals.com. Third, think about the specifics of design. Because your booth is essentially an ad, you need to capture the attention of passersby with an eye-popping display. Statistics indicate that prospects are walking by at a clip of about 3.5 seconds every 10 feet, says the St. Louis Small Business Monthly. This means that in 3.5 seconds, you have to give them a real quick look at who you are.sbm.sbmin.com.
19
There are other aspects of design you should consider. For example, if you have company literature or giveaway items, these could be placed in the back of the booth so that interested persons have to come inside to get them. Also, avoid cluttering your booth with too much information. One of the problems we see is businesses overloading a booth, says Andy Blanton, owner of Adcraft Incorporated, a company that rents, sells, and builds trade show displays. In a 10 x 10 space, if you walk into the booth and feel closed in, youre not helping yourself. Sometimes less is more. You want people passing by to be curiousto want to know more. You want people to stop and wonder, What is this booth all about? The staff. Just as important as how you design your booth is who you will use to staff it. Too many companies just ask people to man their booths just to have someone there, says Sharon Scott-Moyer, president of Scott-Moyer Associates, a company that helps firms prepare for trade shows. You really need someone dedicated to selling your products and services. Susan Friedmann has similar sentiments. Who represents you is critically important, she says. Visitors make judgments about your company based on what they see. That is their perception of your business. A sales rep can make or break business relationships based on how they act on the show floor. Publicity. Promote the show by publicizing it long in advance. Send invitations to important prospects ahead of the show, writes Monique Reece Myron in the Denver Business Journal. Give them a reason to stop by your booth. This can include, for example, dropping off a contest order form or receiving a free gift. Try using pre-show mailers, phone calls, giveaways, post cardsanything to encourage clients to visit your display. PRESENTATION Once the event has begun, it is important that the staff be courteous and professional. Salespeople should

make eye contact with visitors, smile and say hello, says expert Mona Grelck. Ask questions such as Hi, are you familiar with our product? or What brings you to our show? It is usually better to ask visitors what they need rather than overwhelm them with information. Remember, too, that each attendee is different, and you may need to tailor your approach from one to the next. At times, there may be slow periods. When they occur, dont twiddle your thumbs. Instead, straighten up your booth, restock supplies, or make notes on leads. If possible, check out the other exhibits, too. Find out what your competitors are doing to attract customers and see if there is anything you can learn from observing them. FOLLOW UP Perhaps just as important as preparation and presentation is
follow up. Let everyone involved in your trade show exhibit share what they have learned from the event. What worked? What didnt work? What will you do differently next time? Also, prepare to follow up on leads. This aspect is often overlooked. Research shows that 79% of all prospective show leads are never followed up, says Patricia Holmes, president of Rainmaker, a sales support organization. Many companies spend thousands of dollars attending a show and developing a booth, but most fail to maximize their selling opportunities. By all means, then, follow up on every lead generated during the show. States the Georgia Minority Supplier Development Counsel, Those leads, and your resulting sales, are the real payoff from an effective trade show performance.

he search for unconventional hydrocarbons has created a strong demand for acreage leasing, drilling, production and pipelining. Wood Group Mustang is no stranger to this market, and we have the breadth of experience in virtually all facets of the business to be a very valuable partner to producers engaged in developing shale reservoirs. Our Pipeline Business Unit cut its teeth as an active participant in the shales predecessor, the Austin Chalk, more than 20 years ago. From this initial experience, we acquired the necessary skill sets to participate in the first big domestic shale play, the Barnett Shale in north Texas. Working closely with exploration and production (E&P) companies, we provided the complete project scope from survey through construction management of processing facilities, gathering systems and transmission pipelines. As the Barnett reached maturity, we used our established model to provide these same services for clients in emerging plays around the U.S. including Haynesville, Marcellus, Bakken, Niobrara, Utica and Eagle Ford. Combining the pipeline and facilities experience of Mustang and Alliance Engineering, Wood Group Mustang has wellestablished, close working relationships with major participants and staffed local offices in each play with experienced personnel
to offer a cafeteria of services, providing a complete turnkey solution or any part of the project the client needs to fill. The Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, operation is an example of our local presence and is leading the work that Alliance has underway for Rice Energys natural gas pipeline system in the Marcellus play. The scope includes overall project management, construction management and inspection services for the facilities, and coordination of numerous required field services. The project includes 6.5 miles of 16-inch steel pipeline, a 12-inch clean water line, well connect laterals and pipeline facilities that will transport shale gas to sales gas pipelines. As new regional plays continue to be identified, we have the resources and experience to staff projects of all sizes and complexities. Shale activity is often driven by supply and demand, and the mix is largely determined by commodity market price. Currently, with crude oil bringing almost $100/bbl and gas at less than $3/Mcf, recent activity is predominantly focused in the oil or wet gas plays containing natural gas liquids (NGLs). This market condition brings several scenarios, any of which Wood Group Mustang can support.
30
With gas in abundant supply and selling cheaply, chemical and petrochemical industry users are exploring ways to convert from using fuel oil and coal as their primary energy source to cleaner-burning gas. These conversions will stimulate projects that are being explored by our downstream unit. The processing, transport and storage of NGLs also provides opportunities that are a fit for our process experience, NGL
extraction success and onshore LNG front-end studies. With natural gas abundance, there are viable plans being implemented for constructing an infrastructure to fuel trucks and other vehicles with LNG and compressed natural gas (CNG). Among other projects, we are providing studies to help targeted industry clients understand the concepts, economics and required infrastructure for transport fuels and power plant conversion.
Wood Group Mustang has field offices strategically located to support the most active shale plays.
