Hi Vangiespen,
Please give details of your current employment (if applicable) and any previous employment experience (with dates) that is relevant to your application. Please list your most recent post first. - It is what the committee requires.
Here is modified one
On June 2013 I had an internship on the position of Field Engineer trainee in 'Wireline' segment of Schlumberger in Aksai, Kazakhstan. First few days of my internship I passed in OFS (Oil Field Service) office where I had a chance to learn the basic policy of the company including the main business of the company, its strategy, the segments that it has etc. Afterwards, I had theoretical courses on safety policy of the company that called Schlumberger Injury Prevention Program (SIPP) and showed it on my practice. During these courses I discerned that the several techniques used in prevention of injuries on the work could be very useful in our everyday life and I understand the importance of the safety and professional ethics issues.
After, successful completing of the courses I moved to the base, where initially I was directed to the operators in order to work with them. When I worked with them I learned how the tools and equipments are called and their basic construction. Further I learned the way of preparation of the tools and equipments for the field job and it was very interesting that Schlumberger has a database that is called RITE, where all required information about any tool and device exist. Moreover, I have learned the processes of how Fast Inspections of Tool, Tool Routine Inspection Monthly and Quality-Check are done.
Then, I was involved into the calibration of the basic devices and tools. During these activities I also tried to get some knowledge about their application, the theoretical explanation of their mechanism. my knowledge that I have got on the classes of the general engineering such as Sensors and Actuator, Control Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics etc. were helpful for me to understand the work principles of the those equipments and tools.
Despite the fact that a position of field engineer in Wireline segment is pretty narrowly profiled and more related to the geology and geophysics, I could an opportunity to get familiarized about the the basics of Petroleum Engineering, especially Upstream. One of the most interesting parts of my internship at Schlumberger was the visiting the field and making operations there. Due to this I passed H2S courses at special training centre. At the courses I got familiarized with prevention techniques during the accident related with H2S and learned how to use 'breathing apparatus'. After completion of the courses our team was directed to the 258 rig of Karachaganak Petroleum Operating Company in order to do two runs. On the first run the DSLT (Digitizing Sonic Login Tool) with its telemetry and sonde was used that showed the quality of the cement behind the column. However, on the second run we used the PMIT (Production Multifinger Imaging Tool) with its telemetry that is good for determination of the corrosion of the column. On the field my main function was to help operators to do rig up and carry the tools from the 'Wireline' station to the rig. Also I had a chance to observe the real engineer's work on the field. During the whole period of my internship the good communication skills that I have gained during my classes at the university were very helpful for me, because I could easily work in team and communicate with its members.
Finally, my presentation skills that I have improved and huge amount of practices in making presentation at university were helpful during preparation of my final presentation, which was about the Ultra-Sonic Imagining Tool, where I explained the main functions and mechanism of it, how the tool works and answered to the numerous questions of my mentor and other engineers.
Guys, I will be very thankful for any feedback!
