To Whom It May Concern:
I am applying for a position with your Operations Department. Please accept my enclosed resume in application for this position. I have over 15 years in the oil and gas industry sector that has given me a wide range of relevant experience. For the past three years, I have worked in the Republic of Yemen with Calvalley Petroleum where I held the position of Senior Operator for the Hiswah field in Block 9. My responsibilities working in Yemen were diverse and challenging, where I enjoyed the experience immensely and accomplished a lot. It was a hands-on 5 weeks in/5 out operation where I was successfully responsible for increasing production, innovation and implementation of HS&E in the operation. Due to cutbacks in Yemen with Calvalley Petroleum, I am now looking forward to the potential opportunity of working with your team. I also have extensive experience operating in two Sour Gas Plants in Canada that utilized acid gas to run each respective plant, and have hands-on experience working in the oil well service sector. My skills as a leader and my previous experience working in a wide range of fields in the Oil Patch in Canada and abroad make me a great candidate for this position. I look forward to the opportunity of an interview with you to discuss the possibility of employment.
Sincerely yours,
Andrew Laturnus
