Summary
I have 21 years of work experience in the oil and gas industry, starting as a roustabout/welder's helper, then moved on to contract operating, which led to a company operator's position.
I am a dedicated and diverse operator who has experience in many different fields, such as wells, oil dehydration facilities, gas compression, steam generators, well testing, and doing fluid shots.
I'm committed to optimizing production while ensuring adherence to safety standards.
I always try to make myself available to any other operators or personnel who may need assistance.
I stay over to assist with any underlying issues that may occur or arise
