Rig up and rig down of dry shakers and pumps, run centrifuge operated excavator. Identified and requested any and all PPE necessary to perform tasks. Wrote daily detailed reports logging work progress for quality assurance purposes. Tested machinery, equipment and parts to identify any defects. Disassembled broken and defective equipment to facilitate repair. Assembled and maintained physical structures using hand and power tools. Routinely inspected machinery and equipment to diagnose malfunctions. Replaced worn and damaged hoses, wiring and belts. Briefed new team members on procedures and project goals. Recorded mud weights, temperature, level and flow data into databases. I have worked on a variety of solids control equipment ,vertical dries, feed augers, dry shakers, track hoe operator. Maintenance of vertical dryer, adjust flights to assure correct separation of solids and liquid, adjust jets to makes sure flow is continuous without any blockage occurring in flow ring. oiling and greasing augers and scrolls. This company worked as a closed loop system. Use centrifuge for recovery of oil base fluids to maintain low and high gravity solids in the oil. Report to mud engineer when running high speed centrifuge to maintain low gravity solids at specific levels. Burn retorts to calculate percentage of oil and solids recovered in a 12-hour shift.
