Senior Control Room Operator with 8 years in oil & gas production management, safety leadership, and process optimization.
What I'm looking for
I’m a result-driven production professional with 8 years of experience in Production Management/Production Process in oil and gas, working as a production supervisor and control room senior operator. I bring hands-on expertise with wells and facilities, from tanks and meters to separators and compressors, while maintaining normal operating levels, pressures, and flow.
In my current role as a Control Room senior operator/LACT UNIT Supervisor, I continuously monitor facility/process parameters from the central control room HMI, calculate and report daily production, and coordinate shift operations to meet production targets and product quality standards. I handle daily reporting, sampler/analyzer coordination, operational issue resolution, and staff training, while ensuring compliance to company policies and maintaining a safe, clean environment.
Across my gas processing and production field operator experience, I manage start-up/shutdowns, provide first-line maintenance, administer isolation/de-isolation, and run maintenance work under valid PTW. I also support process improvement through monitoring, logging, and optimizing set points, and I operate/monitor key equipment such as electrostatic heater treater (EHT), valves line-up, flare lighting systems, wellhead platform operations, and separator/treatment units.
I’ve also contributed as an Instrument Technician/Project Engineer—calibrating instruments, supporting pre-commissioning loop-checks, and verifying installed field instruments against design intent—because I believe reliable production depends on integrity across both operations and instrumentation.
