Silvertip

Please give the name and titles of you and your team members.

Jose “Tres” Perez

My name is Jose “Tres” Perez, and I am a Field Service Manager at Silvertip Completions. I work alongside three other FSMs — Eloy Jaraqui, Victor Olguin, and Homar Trevino — as well as a strong group of E-techs and mechanics. With the support of higher management, we are able to lead Silvertip’s wireline crews, provide field support, and make sure our trucks and crews are operating safely and efficiently every day.

What is the purpose of your team? What is your mission?

Jose “Tres” Perez

As Field Service Managers, our mission is to lead Silvertip wireline crews safely and efficiently through every stage of completion operations. We are here to deliver reliable, high-quality service that keeps wells on schedule while protecting our people in the field. Our purpose is to set the standard in safety, teamwork, and customer service so that every job is done right the first time.

What’s a typical day like for each of you? What do you do on a daily basis?

Jose “Tres” Perez, Eloy Jaraqui, Victor Olguin, Homar Trevino

A typical day starts with a status check and our morning meeting, where we review the plan and set expectations for the crews. From there, we work closely with the electronic technicians and mechanics to ensure the trucks and equipment are running smoothly. Throughout the day, we monitor the progress of multiple crews, troubleshoot any challenges that come up, and provide support so the crews can focus on safe and efficient operations.

What are the unique skills and experiences each of you brings to the team? How do they combine to meet your mission?

Jose “Tres” Perez, Eloy Jaraqui, Victor Olguin, Homar Trevino

All four of us come from similar backgrounds with years of wireline experience in the field. That shared experience means we understand the challenges our crews face because we have been in their position before. Each of us has built on that foundation in different ways — whether it’s leading people, troubleshooting equipment, or coordinating operations across multiple trucks. Together, those experiences allow us to guide our teams, anticipate problems, and keep jobs running safely and efficiently.

What do you like about this work? Whether it’s the mission, the tasks, or the people?

Jose “Tres” Perez

The teamwork, the problem-solving, and the chance to help people grow in their careers are what make this role rewarding. I take pride in mentoring operators who are still learning, while also working alongside experienced guys who know how to get the job done right.

What are some of the challenges and how do you all overcome? 

Jose “Tres” Perez, Eloy Jaraqui, Victor Olguin, Homar Trevino

One of the biggest challenges with this job is being away from our family. We do our best to keep morale at an all-time high, knowing that we are able to build a career and provide future financial stability for our families at home.I will forever be grateful to technology and the ability it has provided for me to be able to watch my children essentially grow up while I am gone.


Silvertip

What’s new about this job than, say, 10 or 20 years ago? How has the job changed?

Jose “Tres” Perez

The biggest change in this job over the years has been technology. Ten or twenty years ago, a lot of the work was more mechanical and less precise. Now we have advanced completion operations, addressable switches, and improved data systems that make work faster, safer, and more efficient. Even though the tools have changed, the core of the job, teamwork, and safety, has stayed the same.

What does it mean to you to work in the Permian, helping to supply America’s energy needs?

Jose “Tres” Perez

I first showed up in the Permian Basin back in 2001 as an 18-year-old kid, not really knowing what to expect. Over the years, I’ve grown both personally and professionally right here in the Basin. Working in the Permian has given me opportunities to learn, to lead, and to build a career I’m proud of. There is a lot of pride in knowing I’ve gone from starting out green to now helping lead crews in one of the most important oilfields in the world.


Silvertip

What does the Silvertip culture mean to you? How does it help you succeed?

Jose “Tres” Perez

I’m proud to represent the Silvertip name. In the Permian Basin, that name carries a lot of weight, and being part of a company with that reputation is something I take seriously. The culture here is built on safety, teamwork, and getting the job done right, and that culture pushes me to hold myself and my crews to a higher standard. It’s something to be proud of, and it motivates us to keep building on that reputation every day. In terms of success, a culture like Silvertip’s could help by fostering an environment where people feel supported, encouraged to contribute, and are continuously challenged to improve. 


Silvertip

What were your thoughts about completion services when you first arrived at Silvertip, and how might that have changed?

Jose “Tres” Perez

When I first arrived at Silvertip, I had already worked alongside other wireline companies and quickly noticed how different it was here. The way Silvertip runs stood out, they operated like a well-oiled machine, with crews working smoothly together and leadership keeping everything on track. Over time, that first impression has only been reinforced, and it’s made me appreciate the value of structure, teamwork, and accountability in this line of work. In terms of success, a culture like Silvertip’s could help by fostering an environment where people feel supported, encouraged to contribute, and are continuously challenged to improve. 

Silvertip

What have you learned about teamwork in this role?

Jose “Tres” Perez

I’ve learned that teamwork is everything in this job. No matter how much experience someone has, no one can get the job done alone. Every person on the crew plays a vital role, and success comes from trusting each other and working as one. The stronger the teamwork, the smoother and safer the operation runs. In terms of success, a culture like Silvertip’s could help by fostering an environment where people feel supported, encouraged to contribute, and are continuously challenged to improve. 

Silvertip

What do you all do to foster great teamwork?

Jose “Tres” Perez, Eloy Jaraqui, Victor Olguin, Homar Trevino

We focus on clear communication and making sure everyone knows their role before the job starts. I make it a point to keep morale up and recognize when the crews are doing things right. Respect goes a long way — when people feel valued and know their effort matters, they naturally give their best for the team. In terms of success, a culture like Silvertip’s could help by fostering an environment where people feel supported, encouraged to contribute, and are continuously challenged to improve.
