Documentation, in the oil and gas industry, is crucial. When dealing with intense environmental situations, red tape and regulations, and the safety of employees and labor contractors, one must always ensure the I's are dotted, and the T's are crossed. Tell the interviewer that you understand the importance of clear and precise documentation. Give an example of what makes you great with documenting.
"I would rate my documentation skills as a 9/10. I am not perfect; however, I fully understand the potential repercussions related to unclear or messy paperwork and documentation. My current manager often compliments me on my reliable documentation, and I am sure she would be happy to comment when you call for an employment reference."

Documentation is crucial to the job. I always say that if you did the work but didn't document it the work wasn't done. I'm very detail oriented in my notes as to what I write down in documentation if I find something wrong that needs to be addressed. I would rate my documentation abilities as 9.0/10.

Nice! The interviewer will appreciate that you're well versed in creating documentation that supports and explains the work you've done. Is it possible to mention an example of a time when you documented a job? Can you explain what work you did and how you documented it? Adding an example will further strengthen your answer. Good job!
