Throughout my internship, I learned a variety of procedures that took place in different well sites, as a gauger you are responsible for always observing safety guidelines performing heater's inspection, operation and maintenance, report any heater's malfunction or damage beyond the common operative issues, report any incident or accident to his Foreman immediately, also you have to do daily inspections on the separators for instance, check the pressure, temperature and liquid level on the separator, check dump valve works properly, make sure there are no leaks, and dump valve indicator opens and closes as the dump valve let fluid go by, check for proper supply in control box, make sure control box gauges give accurate readings, make sure fuel supply bottle is drained on daily basis, check valves, hammer unions, fittings have no leaks, check that pressure in the Big Joe is between 230 & 300 PSH in high pressure wells, and check the pressure in the Small Joe is between 80 & 100 in high pressure wells, you should also be able to replace sit and trim from a dump valve, and change a control box incase it needs to be repaired. The little experience that I received during my internship makes me pretty confident that I will be able to perform the tasks needed to keep the company growing.

Aside from all the nepotism, most of the upper management personnel are not qualified for their positions. Within two weeks into the job, it's obvious that these "So call  managers" in the senior management positions  only have their job because their Anglos. These individuals are extremely racial, making comments that the company is English speaking only! ... Really? Working in South Texas? Now that's pure ignorance! Another thing, the corporate politics are horrible! It's so bad that you have to constantly be careful (like walking on eggshells), because many of them are trying to climb the corporate ladder, and they really don't care who they step on. To make a better point, it's the worst company I have ever worked for, and I can see why they have such a huge turn over rate (Approximately 400 to 500 employees quit or get fired per month). Furthermore, what they promise during interviews are a bunch of lies! They just try to reel people in with a bunch of bologna, then they conveniently forget. Terrible company, no wonder they have to keep having job fairs ... Big red flag there!!!

A typical day at work at Lewis is very high paced and filled with activities that constantly teach you new things based on the task at hand.  Here, I got the opportunity to take knowledge from co-workers that came from bigger companies and offered a great deal of hands on experience that really helped me understand the frac operation.  Co-workers are great and the work atmosphere at the well sites is fantastic as there is always something to do and something new to learn.  The only part I would view as a setback is management.  There is a high percentage of managers that are unqualified, or unsuitable, to lead any department either because of their attitudes or their general lack of experience/knowledge.  The hardest part of the job is dealing with the fact that there is less than a  level playing field when it comes to moving up in the company leading to a high turnover rate.  With a few changes made, it really is a great place to work.

Heavy micromanagement on drivers, never felt trusted to do my job while there was constant breathing down my shoulder and management will audit you on location to see if you place safety equipment cone chocks etc.. Pushers play favorites and get mad if you ask about something but also get mad if you don't ask. only limited to 12 hours a day. pay is alright even with experience. unassigned trucks including new peterbilts and junk western stars all the while none of the drivers make efforts to clean after shift which resulted in 30 minutes of throwing away water bottles and gauge line rags and other miscellaneous trash. None of the management all but 3 speak english or good english. No flexibility with schedule. Better do your pretrip because their in-house dot will put your truck on their ramp in yard and give write-ups/3-day suspensions.  Overall Would only recommend this company as a starter company.

As a floorhand, I would assist in assembly, disassembly and transportation of drilling machinery and service equipment, assist in moving pipe from catwalk to the vee door, assist in tripping pipe and making connections while running drill pipe, casing, or production tubing and manipulate sections of pipe or drill stem during the removal or replacement of pipe strings, drill stems or drill bits. Other general maintenance include cleaning rig floor, chipping, painting, mixing sack chemicals, and inspecting safety equipment. 
Added duties as a motorman include training and supervising floorhands, work with the rig’s motors, and maintain and lubricate machinery to keep it running efficiently.

Lewis was a great place to work.  It was very much a family type atmosphere.  I wasn't there long before there was a company picnic and outings but they treated my like I had been there for years.  Hours were flexible and you could work as much as you like over 40 within reason.  Training was structured and though some procedures were vague, common sense would help fill in any gaps.  Leadership was available 24/7 for those odd situations.  Mr. Lewis was very pleasant and incredibly personable to talk to and seemed genuinely interested about you, your background, and family.

All other management groups were excellent especially HR and Production but the HSE Management group was not one I would work for again.  They are tunnel vision and if you give them an idea, they announce it comes from either the Asst. HSE or HSE Manager.  In addition, they would never provide any incentives to their employees when they made us work weekends, holidays and even our days off.  Self centered and if it does not benefit them two, it did not benefit no one.  Never again, would I ever work for them but for Lewis Energy Group, great place to work.
