Current Job:

June 2021 to Current- Repsol Oil and Gas

Position: LDAR Technician (Leak Detection and Remediation Technician)

Job description: Preform OOOO/LDAR Inspection on a quarterly, semi-annual, annual schedule between 350+ Oil and Gas well pads and processing plant throughout the South Texas Eagle Ford Shale Field for Repsol. I use a Flir Optical Gas Imaging camera to find leaking fugitive emissions on pipes, flanges, controllers, vessels, wells, and tanks. If I find a leak, I remediated the issue myself if I have the appropriate tools and supplies. If I can’t fix the issue, I notify a maintenance technician to remediate the issue. I also do Method 22 Flare inspections on four major gas processing plants to make sure that the flare is not emitting to much harmful smoke into the atmosphere.
