What this role is
Experienced skilled welder who fabricates and repairs drilling rig components to maintain safe, efficient operations. At the Senior Support Specialist (S3) level, the role owns escalated / complex cases, complex or non-standard cases, and drives resolution quality on the team's hardest cases. Guides junior support informally.
What this level does
- Independently produce and quality-check the full daily drilling data and cost package for multiple rigs, resolving inconsistencies in field data without waiting for instruction
- Investigate and reconcile cost variances against AFEs, tracing back to service-company invoices and field tickets to explain the discrepancy
- Evaluate routine service-company proposals and quotes against standard rate sheets and prior jobs, summarizing options for the engineering team
- Compile non-routine regulatory and end-of-well submissions (drilling results, lessons-learned data) requiring interpretation of which records apply
- Support real-time operations by pulling and organizing historical and current drilling data so engineers can troubleshoot issues as they arise
- Knowledge applied
- Detailed knowledge of drilling data, cost and regulatory procedures sufficient to handle non-routine reconciliations and submissions independently.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Makes judgments on moderately difficult tasks — tracing cost variances, resolving data inconsistencies — with little instruction on daily work.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Substantial procedural understanding; coordinates some tasks and liaises with service companies and engineers, without formal leadership.
- Typical experience
- 2–4 yrs; skilled in drilling-operations support.
Skills at this level
- Drilling Data Capture and Logging
- — Records operational parameters, drill logs and rock-sample details into standard well data sheets and the Pason WellView field system, keeping entries current as rig operations proceed through the day.
- Daily Drilling Report Preparation
- — Compiles per-well daily reports covering drilling progress, parameters, materials consumed and costs, reconciling figures from field tickets and multiple sources before submission.
- Cost and AFE Tracking
- — Enters and tracks daily drilling costs against expenditure proposals (AFEs), tracing variances back to service-company invoices and field tickets to explain discrepancies.
- Regulatory Submission Processing
- — Prepares and submits drilling regulatory paperwork and end-of-well data packages, determining which records apply and routing items needing engineer sign-off.
- Drilling Materials Procurement Coordination
- — Coordinates ordering, delivery timing and receipt verification of drilling materials and contracted services so the well program is supplied on schedule, resolving vendor and delivery discrepancies.
- Service Proposal Evaluation Support
- — Reviews service-company proposals and quotes against standard rate sheets and prior jobs, summarizing options and cost implications for the engineering team.
- Drilling Data Reconciliation
- — Investigates inconsistencies between field data, contractor records and cost systems, deciding how to accurately represent the operation when sources disagree.
- Pason WellView Administration
- — Maintains and structures records in the Pason WellView field solution, adapting the setup for non-standard rig data feeds and validating incomplete entries for audits and reviews.
- Rig Safety and Environmental Record-Keeping
- — Applies prescribed rig-site safety and environmental logging procedures when handling and documenting samples, consumables and operational events.
- Drilling Support Procedure Development
- — Creates and documents standardized data-capture, reporting and cost-tracking procedures for the drilling support group and guides peers in applying them.
