Jan 29, 2010 #1
here is my letter of motivation for a master's degree in petroleum engineering. Please review. I would
appreciate your comments and suggestions.
thank you for your help
Dear Sir, Madam
Extremely interested of oil industry and seduced by your prestigious institute, I am writing to you to pursue a
master's degree in petroleum engineering. I am a last year engineer student of the National School of
Engineers of Sfax (ENIS) and I would like to become a qualified petroleum engineer.
During my university education, I started paying more attention to the energy needs of our planet and realized
the increasing reliance of humanity on oil and its products. And I think that the demand for safe, affordable,
clean energy is increasing constantly. All these reasons solidify my desire to become a successful petroleum
engineer to make a difference in the world.
The missions I am particularly passionate in are examining the production potential of deposits as well as
technical means to implement to maximize recovery rates.
As a future graduate of Electrical Engineering, I have acquired a science-engineering program emphasizing
math, chemistry, and physics which provides the necessary background for petroleum engineering. Practically
bilingual, I also have a very good level in English and a working knowledge of German.
While waiting to meet you to explain more my motives, please accept, Madam, Sir, the assurances of my
highest consideration.
Sincerely,

flounder

statement of purpose in petroleum engineering by

Jun 9, 2012 #1
help me with my statement of purpose to apply for US universities... i will appreciate your
help ...
My name is Fuad Hamd Al-Bayati. I am 28 years old and I was born in dyala, Iraq. In 2002 I
finished the secondary school in Kirkuk, Iraq. Because my older brother works in the largest oil
company in Kirkuk (NOC), He advised and encouraged me to study petroleum engineering, so I
joined the petroleum engineering collage at Baghdad University and graduated in 2006 with a
good score.
Since 2008 I employed with North Oil Company in Kirkuk. I work as an assistant engineer in
fields division / petroleum engineering department.
I am planning to continue my academic study and I would like to pursue master degree in
petroleum engineering in US. I chose this program because it is related to my background study
and it's related to my profession. By pursing master degree I will be able to serve my country to
develop the oil industry throughout my current position or by teaching in Iraqi universities that is
one of my biggest ambitions.
A thirst for knowledge has been my driving force since an early age. I thrive on gaining more
knowledge everyday and my biggest motivation is the continuous struggle to be the best among
my peers - a characteristic that drove me to graduate at the top of my class. During my four years
of undergraduate studies in the petroleum engineering collage at Baghdad University , I learnt
basics in several core petroleum engineering subjects like well logging, drilling, oil production ,
Thermodynamics, Geology, Geophysics, Reservoir Simulation, enhanced oil recovery, numerical
and analytical simulation and petroleum economic.
My main responsibilities at work are supervising well testing and wire line operations, Design of
Well Testing programs, Interpretation of Well Test Data. Now I spent more than four years as an
assistant engineer in north Oil Company and waiting to be promoted to engineer soon.
To achieve my goals, I decided to pursue MSc degree in petroleum engineering and I chose US
to do so that its academic studies have reached advanced stages and that its universities are
considered as outstanding universities which are well known over the world.
I believe a Masters in Petroleum Engineering will not only provide me with an in-depth
knowledge of the field I have been working in for the past 4 years, but also an opportunity to
gain broader understanding of the industry as a whole. I am hopeful that after completing my

Master's Degree, I will rejoin the industry as a more knowledgeable professional and I can teach
in the best universities in my country or abroad.

Just one point (an important one):If you are going to send this text to England or Australia do not
use the word "rank" because British people do not use this word in such context. This was a
problem that I faced when I sent my CV to a university in the UK. U can say :" I could graduate
as one of the Top Five students", or something like that.
