• As a Lead Operator I helped the assistant foreman with daily tasks like doing LOTO for the equipment needing to be worked on that day. I also was assigned to help the lease operators with issues on the wells or compressors that were down for that day. If a lease opp had issues with selling the oil due to BS&W I would be assigned to work the bad oil until it was good enough to sell again.
• I would also help train the new hires in our area.

As a Lease Operator I was in charge of operating the well from well head to the battery. I would check each well to make sure it was pumping if not trouble shoot the issue. I did maintenance work on the well heads and on the equipment in the batteries from packing the well to rebuilding a kimray for a dump or a backpressure valve.

I had to test each well on my route once a month. I also had to keep up with daily production and enter it in EVIN.

• Completed jobs operating Loaders, Backhoes and Bull dozers and motor-graders equipment on regular basis with advanced skill
