Human Resource Department,

Impact Ltd.

Dear hiring manager:

I have more than 5 years of academic and industrial experiences in characterization and development of conventional and unconventional oil reservoirs by integrating geological, geophysical, reservoir and engineering data and using analytical and numerical tools. My current Ph.D. research at the University of Alberta has equipped me with multiple aspects of unconventional reservoirs (mainly oil sands) including thermal simulation. I have learned and contributed to the fact that optimization of thermal bitumen recovery schemes in oil sands requires an integrated knowledge of:

• Thermal Simulation

• Solvent-Thermal Simulation (ex. Solvent, non-condensable gas, etc.)

• Phase behavior of solvent-heavy oil and water systems at elevated temperatures and the effect of solvent on heavy oil dilution

• Cost analysis and Environmental considerations

It is worthwhile to mention that I received my MSc. and BSc. degrees in petroleum engineering from Sharif University of Technology. I have expertise in thermal reservoir simulation, modelling solvent and heavy oil phase behaviour, screening enhanced oil recovery methods as well as experimental measurement of light/heavy oil interactions with different solvents. I have competence in heavy oil and thermal operation, reservoir and production engineering, as far as drilling and completion design. I feel that my education, as well as my work experiences makes me an outstanding candidate for this position. I am also highly competent with industry standard softwares like CMG, Eclipse, PETREL, PVTsim, MBAL, PanSys, PROSPER, etc. In terms of character, I am very punctual, well organized, motivated, and reliable for all operations, procedures and emergency responses correlating to my tasks. I am keen in working with a multi-discipline team such as Mechanical, Process, Instrument, Electrical and maintenance.

I believe that my diverse education and work experience in oil sands, reservoir simulation and project development will make me a vital asset to your subsurface team. The accompanying resume shall give you a further detailed description of my job profile and my employment history. I look forward to meeting with you at your earliest convenience to further discuss my suitability for this position Thank you for your time and consideration. Yours Sincerely,

Sara Eghbali
