petroleum-pump-system-operator Occupational skill for the role 'petroleum pump system operator' (also: petroleum refinery pump operator). Use when the user asks for typical petroleum pump system operator work such as: Monitor pumps and flow lines for gas and fluid leaks.; Gauge oil and gas production.; Monitor control panels during pumping operations to ensure that materials are being pumped at the correct pressure, density, rate, and concentration.

Petroleum Pump System Operator

Petroleum pump system operators tend pumps that keep the circulation of oil and derived products running smoothly. They monitor the flow within the pipes at a refinery and test the equipment to ensure minimum disruptions. Pump systems operators work from a highly automated control room, where they communicate with other workers to coordinate pump activities. Pump system operators undertake minor repairs and maintenance, and report as called for.

Core workflow

  1. Monitor pumps and flow lines for gas and fluid leaks.
  2. Gauge oil and gas production.
  3. Monitor control panels during pumping operations to ensure that materials are being pumped at the correct pressure, density, rate, and concentration.
  4. Operate engines and pumps to shut off wells according to production schedules, and to switch flow of oil into storage tanks.
  5. Perform routine maintenance on vehicles and equipment.
  6. Repair gas and oil meters and gauges.
  7. Start compressor engines and divert oil from storage tanks into compressor units and auxiliary equipment to recover natural gas from oil.
