Dear Ms. Jarvis:

I excited to submit my resume to be considered for the position of Petroleum Engineer. My work history has provided me with the technical skills and experience which make my ideally suited to fill this position at Whittier Petroleum Corporation.

As a student of Chemical Engineering, I learned the fundamentals of laboratory work and field studies in the areas of geology, and thermodynamics. I was able to put this knowledge into practice as a junior Petroleum Engineer at PetroTech, where I gained experience monitoring drilling operations in South Texas.

Here is a just a sampling of my qualifications and experience:

Worked with engineers, rig crews, and contractors to build understanding of complex rig operations, equipment, and systems

Designed drilling programs for future wells

Performed pressure and production flow backs on six completed wells and wrote up report with collected data

Built teamwork and communication skills through field interaction and corporate office exposure

My education in chemical engineering and my on-the-job experience at petroleum wells have prepared me to excel in the position of Petroleum Engineer at Whittier Petroleum Corporation. I am excited for the opportunity to join in the great work being done by your company and am confident in my ability to bring much value. Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Mason Stamos
