WORK EXPERIENCE

Service Technician/Valve Technician

Cameron Surface Solutions - Minot, ND - April 2014 to March 2015

Responsibilities

As a Service Tech we had several roles within the company. Depending on the job that we were assigned we

could be doing simple assignments such as frac support insuring that valves were functioning properly for our

customers in between their fraccing and wireline process, greasing and torqueing the valves connections to

industry regulated specs and then other times we could be nippling up BOP's to casing heads so that drilling

rigs could start drilling for oil.

Accomplishments

During my time as a full time employee with Cameron I was able attain several certifications to allow me to

better accomplish my job and to have access to certain job assignments that I wouldn't be able to otherwise.

I was certified in the following: BFSI Level 1 (Service Tech school which is a 2 week long training program

that prepares a service tech for work in the oilfield), Man Basket Certified, Fall Protection Certified, Hydrogen

Sulfide Awareness, Rigger Safety Training, Global Harmonization, Confined Space, LOTO, NSC First Aid,

NSC CPR, Falck First Aid training, Falck CPR training, PEC Safeland, and PEC Safegulf.

I have also completed the safety orientation for Conoco, Enerplus, Oxy USA Inc, and Cameron Surface

Solutions

All of these certifications may be presented upon request.

Skills Used

Using the skills attained from the certifications that I listed above I can use man lifts, installing Back Pressure

Valves, 2-way Checks for testing, using dry-rod lubricators to do the previous mentioned, I can repair valves

on site without disconnecting them from location, use torque wrenches, auto cranes, and apply my safety

training to work in the hazardous environments of the oil fields in the harshest weather sometimes being as

cold as -50 or greater!

Valve Technician

Elwood Staffing (Cameron Surface Solutions) - Minot, ND - October 2013 to April 2014

Responsibilities

I was responsible for disassembling, and reassembling, testing, greasing, and quality control for wellhead

valves depending on which department they needed me. I have been trained extensively by Cameron Surface

Solutions in all aspects of their wellhead products and to help the company to continue to dominate the

Wellhead industry.

Accomplishments

I worked as a temp until later being hired as a full-time employee because of my knowledge of wellhead valves

and for my ability to pass the knowledge onto other employees. The flexibility of being able to work in any

department that I was needed to work in also attributed me as an asset to the company.

Skills Used

Rental Department I displayed my ability to tear a valve down quickly and efficiently and to rebuild valves that

have been approved by our QC department to spec and to sign the legal documents certifying that this was

completed properly by me.

Testing Department I tested valves with the capacity to regulate up to 5,000 and to 10,000 psi, testing their

high and low range for 3 minutes at a time and to always maintain a safe atmosphere while trouble shooting

when the tests would fail.

Quality Control I measured valves that have been retrieved from the oil field with calipers of various types to

determine if the valves were within spec to be rebuilt or to be set aside for disposal.

Grease Department I had to use a high grade grease and inject into the body lubes so that water from testing

would be pushed out of the valves so that they will not freeze in harsh environments and that the remaining

grease would insure that the valve would be well lubricated.
