# 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.
