Mud Logging Consultant

Greenwood Drilling Co.

As a Mud Logging Consultant, I had one of the most demanding and important jobs in the oil field Industry. I worked myself up from the lowest ground hand to the 3rd highest position in the company. Job duties included consistent monitoring of gases, ROP "rate of penetration", and the type of rock formations and fossils we were currently drilling in. This job was very demanding consisting of up to 30 days away at a time with 24/7 watch time while on the location. Once each location was done, I was expected to provide detailed data and analysis of the productivity of the well. The demand of this job truly helped increase not only my time management skills, but I feel made me a more reliable employee that could always be trusted.
