Letter of Recommendation
Character and technical reference from a 35-year drilling veteran
To Whom It May Concern
It is with great respect and professional confidence that I recommend Mr. Milad Shayanmanesh for operational and engineering roles within your organization.
I offer this recommendation based on my 35 years of field experience in the drilling industry, currently serving as a Driller at Rig 56 Fath for the National Iranian Drilling Company (NIDC). I have had the distinct opportunity to closely observe Milad’s professional growth, technical aptitude, and work ethic.
Milad is a highly dedicated engineer who achieved a top-tier ranking in the Master's entrance exam for Petroleum Engineering and demonstrated exceptional practical skills during his internship on Rig 56 Fath in 2017. I witnessed his enthusiasm for learning, scientific precision in analyzing technical issues, and rigorous discipline in the demanding environment of a drilling rig.
His technical mastery of specialized software—evidenced by authoring a book on Petrel—together with active certifications in Well Control and H2S Safety, distinguishes him as a capable engineer. Having been exposed to the drilling lifestyle since childhood through my career, he also carries a rare, deep understanding of operational dynamics and teamwork that cannot be taught in a classroom.
I endorse his scientific capabilities and moral commitment with absolute certainty. His presence will be a valuable asset to any team in the Oil & Drilling industry.
Sincerely,
Abolfazl Shayanmanesh
