Additional Information

Mainly worked in NorthEast district. (Ohio, West Virginia, Central Pennsylvania, and North Pennsylvania, Never missed a hitch since started in oilfield of 2017. Multiple times called into work on days off to fill and work multiple positions mainly Drillers due to lack of supply of drillers level certified employees and Derrick hand due to lack of experience hands and knowledge of mud pumps maintenance and drilling fluid properties. As a Driller of Nabors, I've often help many new directional hands of making up BHA on rig floor, torque specs, installing of MWD tools, correct tool selection use for multiple diameter sizes of drill collars/motor assemblies, and insert of BHA length, ID, OD diameters in pipe tally. Many times I've help directional hands operate direction of tool face of our latest rig software (rock-it). Successfully hard shut in well, and circulate kill mud through BOP/Choke. Understand potential kick indicators/warnings. (size of cuttings, flow checks, and unexplained pit level increase or decrease.) Used and operated multiple software of scroll graphs (Rig-Watch, Rig-Cloud) worked with can rig tech of operating and learning of software program. Able to scroll to past well history of any wells previously drilled, and record past pressures and properties. Have air drilling and fluid drilling experience. More than twice fill in as Rig Manager/Toolpushers and guide drilling rig crews.
