In the past 15 years the majority of my experience is in the slickline fishing area but I have worked with a various number of services and supervised them also. I supervise slickline operations such as safety valves change outs, setting and recovering tubing, bridge, PSP, inflatable’s, casing plugs, SSD’s, various broaches, tubing puches/perforaters, plunger lift systems, memory logging tools, and real time memory gauges . I have worked with numerous types of memory tools, gauge recorders, downhole cameras, logging tools, CIT logs, various perforating guns, TCP’s, memory spinners, Radial Cutting Torches, Positive Sealing Plugs, Positive Displacement bailers, dump bailers, and the everyday logging equipment on and offshore.Also my onshore experience I would supervise in slickline/ wireline fishing circumstances, well testing, coil tubing, pipe recovery, snubbing operations, stand alone snubbing units, well testing, frac operations, packers, inflatable packers, core sampling, plunger lift systems, perforating, and most general other completion and intervention operations. I have worked with a wide brand of Pressure Control Equipment up to 15000 PSI riser/lubricator, BOP’S, high pressure grease injection packages and most other pressure control devices. I have worked with up to 12,500 PSI surface pressures with up to 65% H2S, 100% CO2 gas and oil wells. With my extensive fishing experience I become a valued asset to the Well Services Team.As a Senior SupervisorI have experience with Otis, Baker, Weatherford, Camco, Bowen, Lee, Petroline, BDK, Baker, Schlumberger, Halliburton, Weatherford, Peak, Frank Henry,and a lot of other various types of wireline, fishing, slickline and completion equipment.

Further to this I’m capable of using various sized slicklines and braided lines fishing for tools like plugs, safety valves,and every other regular tools or objects that get stuck in a gas or oil well. I have worked on many various drilling, workover, semi, jack ups, platforms, snubbing rigs, stand alone snubbing units, slant rigs(45 degrees), coil tubing units, Well test units, and all other aspects of drilling, completions and interventions both onshore and offshore. I have experience with well planning in completion programs and workover programs in the office and in the field. I rely a lot on my past fishing experiences and it helps a lot with the planning of completions from my point of view and experience.

EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
Senior Engineer Well Services with Canadian Sub Surface for 5 years
I worked for Canadian Sub Surface just over 5 years in a Supervisor role mainly in fishing and pipe recovery operations. We worked on a lot of high concentration H2S high pressure oil and gas wells in and around Western Canada. We had 15k PCE packages for fishing and intervention related jobs. I worked along side Shell, Esso, Encana, and Conoco Phillips on bug projects planning well completions, interventions, and fishing diagrams for jobs to be completed. I managed a crew of 6 in fishing/ completions operations and preparing Pressure Control Equipment, certifications and designing well schematics. Once we had a load out for the job we would mobilize equipment and we would go to the wellsite. Once there I would Supervise all operations from pressure testing to running the completion or supervising the fishing operations. I have worked for a lot of other companies but the list is very long and we did a high volume of work for these 4 companies. I also have my Journeyman Crane certification in Canada but I am not sure if it is valid in Australia but we used 12 crane ranging in size from 12 to 80 Ton mobile cranes with 190 feet of boom. I also would supervise the running/ pulling and everyday regular use of slickline and wireline tools and tools run with coil tubing, workover rigs, drilling rigs, and snubbing rigs. As a high volume of work I had done 312 onshore jobs in the last 12 months I was in Canada. I would take calls and organize up to 20 jobs a day for the 18 crews we had at Canadian Sub Surface. I enjoyed working for Canadian Sub Surface and learned a lot from the high volume of work in the supervisory role.
Senior Engineer with Weatherford Canada Partnership for 5 years
For Weatherford I did the same role as I have done for Canadian Sub Surface and if you refer to my experience above it would be very similar.
Engineer with Solid Wireline for 2 years, beginning as an operator for a period of 6 months
Slickline Engineer doing regular day to day slickline and wireline operations learning the ropes for heavy duty slickline fishing operations and using 15k PCE. I was an operator for 6 months before I started Engineering. We did a lot of H2S and CO2 jobs with various rigs and cranes for Solid.
H2S Safety Supervisor with Prairie Maintenance for 2 years seasonal
I did safety work for Prairie Maintenance for approx 2 years seasonal and I would work for them when I was not busy at slickline. We did H2S gas plant turnarounds which included climbing inside towers, incinerators, downcomers, flare stacks, and general maintenance areas of a gas plant. We worked with high concentrations of H2S, LEL’s, CO2, N2, and all other chemicals of a H2S plant.
