I managed crew members on daily tasks and responsibilities. I also made sure current and future operations lined up with the proper tools for the job to avoid down time. I was also responsible for keeping inventory on tools, pipes, and any other down-hole tools used. I made sure mud and solids control equipment was always monitored and helped the derrick-hand with any assistance needed on the mud tanks. I kept the rig in tip top shape while operating or during rig move and foresaw any maintenance issues before they occurred.

I have been trained by this major oil service company to field operate and maintain their complete line of solids control equipment. My training included in-house construction and repair of their equipment in the main manufacturing facility in Conroe, Texas. I also was trained to perform field service installations and maintenance of Brandt equipment in the Texas area.

• I was chosen to accompany a team to install and commission a solids control package on the Global Santa Fe Explorer drill ship in Trinidad. My experience growing up in Venezuela made the transition to international travel and operating in a foreign country problem free.
• In a short time, Brandt selected me for a unique position in Saudi Arabia where I have provided well site operation and maintenance duties for all company solids control equipment for Saudi Aramco.
• Within 2 months of my assignment in Saudi, I was moved into a field supervisor position and tasked with soliciting a regular maintenance contract for Brandt’s local drilling rig customers. My initial challenge consisted of a field proving the economic value of the prescribed scope of maintenance services to the customers which would result in execution of a contract with Brandt for these services. Within 4 months, 2 contracts were secured covering 15 rigs. Services which I provided at the field level to prove the value of the contract were surveys on all the customers’ current equipment installations and recommendations on how to improve their operating and maintenance efficiency. Further services included regular visits to the customers’ sites to ensure the consistency of my recommended changes to their operating procedures. When I left Saudi Arabia there were roughly 80 rigs signed on to our preventative maintenance program.
