I possess a necessary qualification to pursue Petroleum Engineering at a higher level. [university] has equipped me with the foundations in Well, Reservoir, and Production Engineering in addition to Petroleum Geology. Especially, by accomplishing my thesis work in reservoir performance and simulation studies I have enhanced knowledge in Reservoir Engineering. The thesis work has allowed me to get better acquainted with Eclipse 100 Black Oil simulator tool which is the main tool in reservoir performance analysis. The quality of Petroleum Engineering courses taught at the [university] is substantiated by accreditation from IChemE obtained this year.

The special role that has played in my decision to become a petroleum engineer is my family. My grandfather was a petroleum geologist. He was a one of the few experienced geologists who gave a start to the exploration and development of many oilfields in western [region] during the growth of the oil industry in [country].

Correct these grammatical mistakes. I like how you used your family background as a motivation for your aspirations. But since this is a graduate essay, the effect of this essay can probably augmented by describing some of your work and research experiences (With an example, if possible), and how those experiences added to your motivation. However, that is merely my opinion.

Thanks a lot. I will take your advice into account.
