ONE PAGE STATEMENT-OF-PURPOSE FOCUSING ON CAREER AND RESEARCH GOALS.
The school and research experience that I have gained while striving to achieve my Bachelor of Science in Environmental science and petroleum engineering at the University of Buea has prepared me to achieve success not only for graduate school but also in my future career as a renowned petroleum engineer.

My interests in petroleum engineering stems from my father who is a retired worker with the British Petroleum Company (B.P). My objective for graduate studies in Petroleum Engineering is to prepare myself for the long term goal of pursuing a career of professionalization and research in the petroleum engineering industry. I have naturally nurtured a strong passion of pursuing research in petroleum engineer and end up working in a petroleum company for a period of time and then creating the very first Cameroonian petroleum company. In the pursuit of Knowledge, I have always adopted a rigorous approach in order to attain an in-depth understanding of the subject at hand. I have chosen to pursue graduate studies at KFUPM because I believe by working under the guidance of the distinguished researchers I am confident of making an original contribution in the field of Petroleum Engineering. My interest in research was reawakened during my undergraduate studies at my former university during which time I developed a solid background to take up research in Petroleum Engineering. I have decided to go in for graduate studies which calls for a personal commitment to the fulfilling craft of independent research and that involves willingly making personal sacrifices of time and leisure . In turn I shall get intellectual satisfaction and the gratification of becoming a contributor to knowledge through research and the greater personal rewards of learning and discovering and above all attaining my career goal. I believe that I possess the motivation, intellectual ability and preparation to set out on this exhilarating and arduous path and to make significant original contributions to the research work that I will be involved.

Based on a careful consideration of the present situation in the scientific and technological development of Cameroon's petroleum industry, I would like to focus my prospective masters research in one of the following areas: a). production engineering; b). Reservoir Engineering; c). Drilling Engineering, with emphasis in production engineering .I strongly believe that by working with professional engineers at KFUPM will greatly contribute to achieving my career goals of becoming the best petroleum engineer.

After completing my studies I will like to work in a petroleum company anywhere in the world with Cameroon and Saudi Arabia being my favorites.

I look forward to joining KFUPM as a graduate student at your esteemed department as I will be nothing but an asset to you.

You write good and clear English, but I feel your SOP is not convincing enough the admission panel that you are the right candidate. SOP is the best opportunity for you to tell them about you as a person and also it needs to stand out thousands of other applications. So, tell them you are (1) passionately interested in the field; (2) intelligent; (3) well-prepared academically and personally; (4) able to take on the challenges of grad school; (5) able to have rapport with professors and fellow grad students - in other words, collegial; (6) able to finish the graduate degree in a timely fashion; and (7) a potentially outstanding representative of that grad school in your future career.

I'd suggest you to have a look at the following link which gives some insights about writing SOPs.
