Roles & Responsibilities

• Sound knowledge of ASTM standard methods for water cut analysis, API gravity analysis, gas gravity analysis, salinity analysis, pH, and H2S metering.
• Strong understanding of the development and implementation of safe operating procedures

Basic Knowledge of Oil & Gas Operations

• Identification and mitigation of risks and hazardous situations.
• Collection and organization of well data; planning and execution of well testing operations; monitoring well performance in low/high pressure, onshore/offshore, sweet/sour gas, and oil & gas wells.
