Wireline Field Specialist
Delivering Flawless Wireline Execution
Baker Hughes is a global leader in wireline services, offering a massive portfolio designed to evaluate, build, and maintain wells through every stage of their lifecycle.
Fuel your passion
Baker Hughes wireline services runs both in open hole and cased hole wells. Open Hole services offering formation evaluation, fluid sampling, acoustic & nuclear technology. Cased Hole services focused on well integrity and production optimization after the casing is set.
As the Field Specialist will have the following responsibilities:
1. Operations & Technical Execution
- Logging Operations: Running sophisticated sensors (logging tools) into the wellbore on an armored electrical cable (the wireline) to measure rock properties like porosity, resistivity, and gamma radiation.
- Tool Assembly & Testing: Assembling complex "tool strings" and performing pre-run surface checks to ensure sensors are calibrated and functioning within narrow tolerances.
- Perforation & Mechanical Services: Executing explosive operations to puncture the well casing or setting mechanical plugs/packers to isolate specific zones of the well.
- Data Acquisition: Monitoring real-time data feeds during the "up-log" to ensure data quality and troubleshooting any signal interference or tool failures immediately.
2. Equipment Maintenance & Quality Control
- Preventative Maintenance: Overseeing the upkeep of the wireline winch unit, pressure control equipment, and the massive inventory of electronic logging tools.
- Calibration: Ensuring all measurement tools are calibrated against global standards to provide the client with legally and technically defensible data.
- System Troubleshooting: Diagnosing electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic failures in the field, often under extreme weather or time pressure.
3. Safety & Compliance (HSE)
- Pressure Control: Managing "Well Intervention" safety, ensuring that pressure control equipment (lubricators, BOPs) is rated for the well's specific pressure to prevent blowouts.
- Radiation & Explosives Safety: Acting as the Custodian for hazardous materials. This involves the safe handling, transport, and storage of radioactive sources and shaped-charge explosives.
- Risk Assessment: Leading "Tailgate" safety meetings and ensuring all crew members are following Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
4. Leadership & Client Relations
- Crew Management: Supervizing a team of operators and technicians, ensuring they are performing tasks efficiently and safely.
- On-site Representative: Serving as the primary point of contact for the "Company Man" (the client’s representative) to discuss job progress, data results, and operational risks.
- Reporting: Compiling final well logs, digital data files, and post-job reports that summarize the technical success of the operation.
5. Logistics & Prep
- Job Planning: Reviewing well schematics and history to select the correct equipment and anticipate potential downhole challenges like "sticking" or high temperatures.
- Inventory Management: Ensuring all necessary backup components, seals, and consumables are loaded onto the truck before leaving the district base.
