Rig Electrician

To make sure that the rig is maintained to the highest standard possible and prevent any possible breakdown before it occurs. To maintain the highest safety standards possible whilst obtaining maximum efficiency.

Summary of equipment worked on.
Over the years I have worked on most rig and camp equipment. I am proficient with all camp appliances including air conditioning. I have worked with a number of rig air systems / compressors. I have probably seen and worked on more mud systems and PVT's than most people ranging from pneumatic pit sensors to ultrasonic and everything in between. I have worked on 6 SCR powered rigs and equipment such as but not limited to, Totco, I-Mud, Garner Denver, Sullair, Posi-Stop, Caterpillar, Icr, Ips, Ross Hill, Baylor, Gai Tronics, Appleton, Killark, GE and Tesco Topdrives. I have extensive knowledge of earthing systems including lightning protection, static discharge and hazardous locations as well as different wiring systems as a whole (I have worked on Australian, American and Canadian fitted rigs). I am conversant with the relative API standards as well as the Australian wiring rules and various petroleum regulations. I can trouble shoot, read schematics and manuals and interpret them and have run PMS systems. I have extensive knowledge of intercom and telephony systems ranging from PABX's to satellite communications.
