Accomplishments
- One of the spot moments of my carrear is when I was uplifted to night-shift supervisor for the first time, and to carryout UWILD Operation, this operation is known as one of the most complex and critical offshore operation. OPG team, DPO team, Captain and Company man, were everybody involved in the operation, and the pressure was too much as the Rig had a countdown time to leave the field for the 5 years recertification. Despite the complexity and working under pressure, we managed to reach the goal on time, and after job was completed we received congratulations from all sides.
