Such career opportunities include reservoir engineering, production and operations, drilling, construction of facilities, geology and geophysics, refinery engineering, research and development, petroleum marketing, economics, Health Safety Security and Environment (H.S.S.E), etc. As a matter of simple truth, I have chosen to pursue a career in the petroleum industry because of some of the opportunities which the industry offers as discussed in what follows. With this in mind, I considered the challenges of the industry.

    close look at my Resume will indicate that I majored in the exploitation of oil and gas fields in my undergraduate program and specialized in petroleum engineering, a similar specialty, in my Master’s program. It may well be asked why I maintain such a close affinity with petroleum. The answer is simple and straightforward—because I was born and I grew up on an oil field and I have cherished a deep love for all that it represent. Even as a child, I had a habit of watching for hours how beam-pumping units, standing as if like a miniature forest, worked, indulging myself in all kinds of fantasies and reflections about the mysterious reservoir underground with great curiosity. I imagined that someday I would be able to unveil its mysteries. With the lapse of time, I am approaching the 30th year of my age and a cursory retrospection makes me realize that, for nearly a decade, I have been making efforts toward this objective. The black petroleum continues to hold me fascinated and spellbound with its infinite attractions. In order to understand petroleum better, I consider it necessary to travel to the other side of the Pacific Ocean to improve my knowledge and expertise in petroleum research.…
