June *, 2015

I would like to be considered for a position at your company. My work in the oil field has given me a strong background in many areas of rig work. I have drilled in many different formations. I have experience on multi-well pads. I have successfully kicked off of whipstock, open hole sidetracks, cement plugs and whipstocks in casing. I have trained many new directional drillers and became lead driller after 3 months training as a directional driller. While working with Devon as directional driller, Halliburton has been asked by multiple company men to send me specifically to their rigs. Most recently I have worked as a Drilling Consultant in the Woodbine Sand formation.

I advise on optimal BHA design and drilling parameters. Ensure that BHA’s are made up correctly, tested and all connections are properly inspected and torqued. I operate steerable BHA’s in rotary and sliding to perform wellbore deviations and corrections as needed. I make sure jobs are completed on or ahead of schedule. I communicate regularly with the team to make sure everything runs smoothly.

The enclosed resume provides further information about my experience. I would like to meet or talk with you to discuss any qualifications for a position. Please call me at 817-***-****. I look forward to visiting with you.

Sincerely,

Eric Medina
