Safety Leadership: Uphold company's safety culture by ensuring no spills and maintaining the "Nobody Gets Hurt" principle, both in the office and, if required, on the rig site.* Pressure Surveillance: Monitor pressure trends for multiple wells across various affiliates, interpret these trends, and communicate findings to all relevant parties.
* Quality Assurance/Quality Control: Oversee rig-based deliverables and monitor data feeds (ML, WL, LWD, WSG) to ensure accuracy and reliability.* Knowledge Management: Capture lessons learned for future operational improvements. Maintain and steward operations geology database and prepare End of Well Reports (EOWR).
