What do you do as a Midstream Crude Storage Supervisor? The Midstream Bernstein Tank Farm is a major hub, where 80% of Heritages total production of crude oil is stored and transferred directly to Paria for internal sales. The supervision of this asset is critical and can be challenging at times. My responsibilities include ensuring a high level of accuracy in the measurement of crude, ensuring pipeline quality crude (less than 2% BS&W) is met, optimising pump rates while maintaining the required discharge pressure rates from Bernstein Tank Farm to Paria. Also, managing tank ullage to be able to receive fiscalised crude from Point Ligoure, Adventure, Point Fortin Central, Los Bajos, Main Field and Leases daily.

What do you like most about your job? Having the opportunity to collaborate and work closely with some amazing people. Also, the fulfillment that comes with overcoming new challenges and meeting each cargo as a team. What are some of your hobbies? Cooking, fishing, Formula D racing, engine modification and repairs. Name one fun fact about you. I am a hydroponic entrepreneur. I designed, built and programmed a system that automatically manages and controls parameters of pH, ppm concentration and temperature for optimum plant growth and is monitored remotely. As a child I was always fascinated with the sight of plants growing with absolutely no soil. This led me to start experimenting on my own with hydroponics.
