I am very well educated in the various processes involved in finding and obtaining oil and gas from the ground. The skils that I have gained from an honours degree in sedimentology, basin analysis and reservoir characterisation make me a great candidate for oil exploration. Oil exploration is something I have always wanted to do and I am extemely passionate about this topic. Although I am young and do not have much experience, I am an extremely fast and dedicated leaner as well as a great team player. I am also able to start immediately and work anywhere that the company needs me. I love being in remote areas and getting my hands dirty.

I would be extremely greatful for any position within the oil and gas industry relevant to geology, and I can assure you that the company will not regret hiring me, with some training I believe I could be a great asset to the industry.
