The Senior Wireline Logging Operator (Crew Chief) leads and executes cased-hole and open-hole wireline services, ensuring safe, efficient delivery and data quality across onshore/offshore operations. Scope includes:

• Pressure Control Operations (10k/15k): rig-up, test, and operate wireline PCE strings (lubricators, wireline valves, tool traps, grease heads/pack-offs) and verify barrier integrity before, during, and after jobs.

• Pipe-Conveyed Logging (PCL): plan and run drillpipe-conveyed logging with side-entry subs, tension monitoring, ID clearances, and special conveyance contingencies for high-angle/horizontal wells.

• Pump-Down Perforating: coordinate with frac/pump crews; manage addressable gun systems, selective firing, and radio protocol; control line tension/speed; and execute multi-stage plug-and-perf safely.

• Ballistics & Radioactive Source Handling: supervise explosives loading/firing, source custody, radiological controls, and end-of-job reconciliation.

• Fishing & Pipe Recovery: lead free-point, back-off, jet/radial cutters, cable strip-over, and logging-while-fishing contingencies.

• Cased-Hole Logging: PLT, cement/casing integrity (SBT/HRVRT/INTEX/MIT), production diagnostics, saturation/temperature/pressure surveys.

• Open-Hole Logging (when applicable): triple/quad combos, sonic/imaging, formation testing/sampling with conveyance risk controls.

• Crew Leadership & Client Interface: assign competencies, coach junior operators, maintain records/as-run data, and advise the company representative on logging/completions decisions.

• Achieve >98% Service Quality (SQ) with <1% NPT attributed to wireline crew/equipment
• Certify 100% crew competence on PCE (10k/15k), ballistics, and source handling; complete annual practical assessments and drills.
• Establish pump-down SOPs and comms checklists; deliver ≥30 stages per campaign with zero misfires and <0.5% tool-loss rate.
• Implement PCL readiness kit and clearance checklist; complete ≥3 successful PCL jobs with zero conveyance-related incidents.
• Maintain PCE integrity: 100% pre-job function tests, pressure tests to rating, and documented barrier verifications each job.
• Eliminate cable/tool-sticking events through preventive practices.
• Inventory & maintenance discipline: keep explosives/sources, guns, and auxiliary equipment reconciled; Maintain and update cable record books after each job along with unit inventory
