NORTHERN NATURAL GAS CO. / TRANSWESTERN GAS PIPELINE CO. JUNE 1981 TO JUNE 2007
Maintain Equipment, Assist in Minor/Major Overhauls of Compressor Units, Auxiliary
Generators, Air Compressors, Submit Capital/O&M Projects. Maintenance Person in the
field division working on at field station compressor units, station facilities and related
equipment. Tasks involved overhauling, maintenance, and operations. Mainline
Hugoton Compressor Station operations worked to a larger degree of compressor units.
Obtaining the knowledge needed in understanding Gas Flows, Pressures, Horsepower,
and operating parameters of mainline stations. Also learning and achieving
pressures and volumes associated with Gas Control’s goals. At Northern’s
Sublette Compressor Station I was being upgraded to Shift Foreman and
Operated/maintained 17 compressor units with a combined Horsepower of 27,000 bhp.
Operation include monitoring Field Gathering Stations, Auxiliary Generators, along with
Dehydration Facilities. Job duties included regulating and coordinating gas flows with
other Hugoton District stations From Sublette Compressor Station I relocated to the
Hobbs District in Hobbs,N.M. with Transwestern Gas Pipeline Co. to the Hobbs 1,2,3,4
and 5 gathering field stations. Tasks included maintaining and operating station
facilities as well as valve set-ups on the line, pipeline leak surveys, and valve
maintenance. As an Operations fill in at Hobbs Gas Processing Plant I worked with
Gas Control and producers acquiring knowledge of processing natural gas. In 1991
