To Whom It May Concern:
Am a seasoned geologist seeking a position as a Senior
Geologist/Exploration Geologist in the oil industry. I can manage, run, operate a business or office, oversee
employees/teams, delegate and regulate, and take necessary responsibility.
I have managed an independent oil company, a professional palynological
laboratory, and an institute for discovery science, all with two or more
employees. I excel at accomplishing
goals and assignments, meeting deadlines, and taking initiative when needed, but
I also enjoy working with others in a team environment, leading when
appropriate, following when necessary to achieve objectives.
I enjoy a structured environment, but I can also think outside the box,
innovate, and improve where needed.
I have Thirty-two
years experience in geology, basin analysis, paleontology, palynology,
performing geologic and geophysical analyses and interpretations, mapping
geologic structures using outcrops and geophysical data.
I have Twenty-two
years professional experience managing drilling operations, well-site geology
and mudlogging (11 wells), core description and analysis (7 wells), prospect
generation and well-sites selection (7 different wells), and
leading-coordinating exploration teams (e.g. Gulf Oil Corp and Geminoil, Inc.)
comprised of geologists, geophysicists, micropaleontologists,
palynologists, geochemists, mud loggers, and technicians.
I have Five years teaching
experience: physical geology, historical geology, botany, combined biology,
genetics, and organic chemistry for MCAT, and reading hyperlearning for MCAT.
Responsible
(directly or indirectly) for the drilling of six wells in the Richmond basin
(Mesozoic), Chesterfield County, Virginia (1980-1986), one well on the Damon
Mound salt dome (Tertiary), Brazos County, Texas (1984), and one re-entry well
(Tertiary) in southeast Texas (1987). Participated
in the successful completion of a new well showing re-generated reservoir
conditions in the water-flooded Holly Unit (Pennsylvanian), abandoned 35 years
ago, Graham County, Kansas (2002).
I am interested in a full-time position in the oil industry
and am willing to relocate my family to a new location, if needed.
Would like to request an interview with your company for the above said
position(s). Thank you for your
time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Bruce Cornet
