• Enhanced drilling efficiency by implementing advanced directional drilling techniques and technologies.
• Reduced drilling time for projects by optimizing wellbore placement and trajectory adjustments.
• Improved safety standards by conducting regular equipment inspections and enforcing safe work practices.
• Collaborated with geologists to analyze subsurface formations, ensuring accurate wellbore positioning and optimal reservoir penetration.

My job as a MWD Supervisor is to oversee the MWD operations on the rig. It is my job to ensure the proper training of night hands and verifying MWD tools are capable of taking directional surveys in real time. MWD tools use accelerometers and magnetometers to measure the inclination and azimuth of the wellbore at that location. I am experienced with Erdos Miller, Noralis, and DigiDrill systems. I am responsible for sending Real Time Surveys with all requested attachments to customer, drilling engineer, and geologist. I also send daily, pre & post run reports. I also have the ability to troubleshoot when necessary, re-log gamma when needed, and anything else that is asked of me.

Used iron roughnecks, tongs and slips to properly handle and connect sections of drill pipe. Verified and recorded drilling fluid properties at regular intervals to report deviations. Maintained and monitored mud pits and mud pumps during operations to detect unexplained pit level increases and decreases.

Keep and mantain drilling muds, mix chemicals, take care of mud pumps, work monkey board while tripping pipe in and out of the hole, keep up with mud weight and viscosity, relieve driller as needed.

Tend to drilling motors, repair rig, general rig maintenance, keep rig running as smooth as possible and keep down time to a minimum, work with SCR systems, DC rig power i.e. GE 752 Traction Motors, Up keep and repair on Varco TDS-11 AC Top Drive, general electrical work i.e. lights, plugs, etc. the use of computer skills and reading of mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic schematics, running the rig when making connections and tripping pipe when time allowed, making sure floor hands stay busy and keep focused on job, strapping of tubular goods, forklift operations, working with derrick man on National 12-P-160 Mud Pumps, making sure information is entered correctly in IADC, keeping track of rig maintenance schedules i.e. greasing of electric motors, oil changes in equipment etc.

Working on drill floor while tripping pipe (TOOH & TIH), working casing, directional BHA (Bottom Hole Assembly), laying down drill pipe, keeping all rig floor safety valves in good operating conditions (TIW, DART VALVE, & IBOP), general rig cleaning and painting, strapping on tubular good, making sure rig floor equipment is in good condition and maintenance is kept up, working with derrick man & motorman when needed, knowing environmental and HSE policies.
