The first 6-1/2 years, a typical day at work involved writing AFEs, writing workover procedures, picking perforations, drawing wellbore diagrams, creating production plots from OFM, running economics using ARIES, coordinating injection profile program daily for 2 trucks & notifying field personnel of which wells they would be on that day, obtaining RRC approval to plug wells by filing W-3As, keeping up with 35 workover rigs & 3 drilling rigs.

The last 3 years, a typical day involved updating Wellview database with wellwork data & changing the wellbore schematic, writing material transfers to aide with inventory management, purchasing new tubulars & selling surplus equipment to highest bidder, coordinating plugging program by obtaining RRC approvals & writing AFEs to do wellwork.

I loved my job when I first started at Whiting but my happiness erodes away more and more every year. The company does provide great pay, time off, and work flexibility. But the good things stop there. Benefits get cut more and more every year. There are several people in management that have no business being in the position - the good old boys club gets them there and keeps them there. There is no clear direction driving employees towards goals; several departments are working on the same projects as other departments with no collaboration or communication between them. There is no room for advancement in several positions. Layoffs are always looming around the corner and the leftover work gets forgotten for some time before getting thrown onto the full plates of the employees that are stuck behind. 

In a typical day at work I would answer phones, take messages, and give them to the appropriate person. Gather the collected data and enter it into spread sheets, complete work orders, sort mail, and file paper work. I had awesome co workers that were not only fun to work with; they were also team players. The hardest part of the job would have to be the deadlines and the amount of information needed to be covered by said deadline. It was a fun work place with supportive management. Not all about the numbers but how you personally grow and develop. A decent amount of red tape and politics, but this is expected of a big company.

Excellent company to work for....
Professional environment conducive to learning
Progressed from general JIB accountant to 1099MISC tax reporting and learned tax rules and regulations for reporting
Management was consistent and fair (until new supervisor in last three months of employment)
Co-workers were excellent - felt each employee well qualified for job and given opportunity to learn
Hardest part of job was new supervisor - very much a micro-manager
most enjoyable part of job was the day to day stability and the opportunity to learn new things

The work task changes almost every day. You don’t do the same thing every day. Work task can change often to breakdowns and as problems accur. I have learned a lot from my 4 years with the Company. Unfortunately due to management and personality conflicts the culture isn’t the greatest. The hardest part of the job is dealing with the constant problems of technical problems with equipment. The most enjoyable part is being able to repair technical problems. And to be on your own.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Helping the customer,  helping with the 1099 for the Tax year. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The supervisor were very knowledgeable and helpful with the information that we needed to help the vendors. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was very nice. And very clear environment to work in.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very busy from start to finish with working with the vendors.

After the Oasis takeover, the leadership that was put in place was more interested in bettering themselves than the company. Inept leadership, especially in EHS, will be the downfall of Chord. Employees that should have been included in major decisions were all of the sudden discarded and thrown away. They were not necessarily let go, although that did happen to some, most that had a strong voice were simply excluded.

When I first worked at Whiting, I had an excellent supervisor and we worked together very well. The last year I was there, I was moved into a different department under a new supervisor. This new supervisor was verbally abusive and unfit to supervise anyone. I probably would still be working there if I had not had to switch supervisors.

Very hard to move up if you are not part of the good ol' boys club. They have settled several lawsuits because they underpay women. I was being underpaid. When I brought it to HR, they agreed. After she talked to the department manager, HR changed their mind. I was being harassed about my sexuality and the manager would not do anything about it, neither would HR.

I was only a contractor there, 3 month contract turned into 3 year contract, but I left with long term friends! Great company, management was friendly, very helpful, the hardest part of the job was when the contract ended!!!
