San Antonio, Texas, United States
I am a highly skilled Senior Control Room Operator with a history of success in the Oil & Gas industry – Upstream and Midstream markets. I excel in operational control of oil & gas wellheads, pipelines, natural gas processing plants, and pipelines. I excel at ensuring a culture of safety with expertise initiating emergency and non-emergency response procedures. I effectively operate and monitor pipeline systems including start-up, shutdown and flow adjustments. Additionally, I have a strong ability to monitor and control field assets using SCADA and coordinate the delivery of natural gas and natural gas liquids. I have proven experience maintaining the integrity of systems and pipelines through remote control changes, monitoring alarms and system telemetry status, and guiding strategies to maximize pipeline throughput. Success Highlights: ✓ As Control Room Operator at Apache Corporation (in its infancy) monitored and controlled five Midstream Gas Plants and Gas Sales Pipeline to 3rd Party Purchasers as well as production wells and facilities. Optimized well production by remotely controlling Free Flowing, Gas Lift, ESP, and Plunger Lift wells. ✓ As Control Room Operator at Marathon Oil, I assisted with the development, implementation, and drove continuous improvement for the Marathon Control Room. Managed up to 32 Central Facilities and 1400+ wells at times during emergency situations. ✓ Assisted with the design and implementation of the Wonderware/SCADA Control Systems at the Sugarloaf Station gas processing plant. ✓ Increased safety and operational efficiency by evaluating/analyzing wells, central facilities, and pipeline operations.
