Monitor wells and gathering systems
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 monitoring well and equipment performance by taking readings, making checks, recording and reporting their findings in accordance with procedures. They will also be expected to identify hazards and take appropriate action.
This competency is typically performed by operators working independently while in communication with a field 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 is an entry level competency for a field operator. It covers the basic skills required to monitor wells and associated equipment in the field and to recognise and report problems, but not necessarily to rectify problems or make adjustments.
