Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency applies to field operators who are responsible for a number of wells and their associated systems. In a typical scenario, the operator will be driving alone, on and off roads between wells and also to and from the base site or plant. While at a site, they will be operating and monitoring well and equipment performance by taking readings, making checks of and adjustments to plant and equipment. They will record and report their findings in accordance with procedures. They will also be expected to identify hazards and actual and potential process and plant problems and take appropriate action.
This competency is typically performed by operators working independently while in communication with a senior operator or plant operator with whom they would work as part of a team. At all times they would be liaising and cooperating with other members of the team.
This unit of competency would be expected to be achieved by a field operator. It covers the skills required to monitor and operate wells and associated equipment in the field and to recognise, report and resolve problems and make adjustments.
