requirement of offshore legislation as well as MNZ environmental laws for the oil and gas industries.
Any company that was to employ Mike would have no regrets and in a short period he would have proven to be
an asset to any company.
Given the opportunity, he has the ability to further himself at any tasks or position put before him.
If at any time there was to be an opportunity to employ Mike, I would not hesitate in tracking him down to be part

To Whom It May Concern
I am writing in regards to Mike O’Connell.
Mike has worked for Tanker Pacific for five years. During this time he has proven himself to be a valued Team
member and employee.
Mike started as a Maintenance Technician on the FPSO Raroa, proving his knowledge of the oil and gas industry
along with his abilities and willingness to learn other duties in a very logical and thorough manner, maintaining
high standards.
Mike was requested by management to take on the role as a Production Technician on the FPSO and Well Head
Platform (WHP). He, in a very short period adapted to this role and the operations and permit issuer along with
operations of the Work Over Unit on the WHP.
In addition to normal duties, he was also involved in the logistics of Helicopter operations, crane work and Supply
boats operations, without incident or injury for four years.
He is very reliable and only too willing to help other if and when required, holds good morals and work ethics,
earning and giving respect to our management team.
I believe that any company that was to employ Mike would have no regrets and in a short period he would have
proven to be an asset to any company.
Given the opportunity, he has the ability to further himself at any tasks or position put before him.
