Well Control in Kuwait
   ¤  Mark Badick, Chief Operating Officer with SafetyBOSS

BIOGRAPHY:

 Mark Badick – Chief Operating Officer

 My personal history dates back to 1986 when I began with Safety Boss. As a full term crew chief in Kuwait, I supervised my crew to successfully control 56 of 180 wells controlled by SafetyBOSS, with zero loss time accidents. Following that project, I graduated with an Engineering degree from Montana Tech. Based in Red Deer, Alberta, I oversee the daily activities of the companies operations including the supervision of fire fighting and well control projects and the design and manufacturing of speciality equipment. I became a partner in SafetyBOSS in September 2000.

ABSTRACT:

 SafetyBOSS was founded in 1956 by K.J. “Smokey” Miller. We have grown from a one-truck fire company into a fleet of emergency equipment capable of controlling fires and blowouts worldwide.  Today, Safety Boss is headed by Mike Miller, son of the company’s founder, who has been in charge of SafetyBOSS’s services since 1979.

 The company’s roots are deep in Alberta’s oil patch but its international reputation was forged in the fires of Kuwait following the 1991 Gulf War.

 The presentation is about how it was in Kuwait for individuals performing well control.
