Resume verbage/wording?

Hi folks,

I was lucky enough to receive a return offer after my summer analyst stint this summer and haven't done any recruiting, and I've been pretty lazy and havent updated my resume. That being said, I have some time today and figured I better do it before I forgot what I did. Just wondering if some of you could look over a few lines and help me fine tune them to sound as professional as possible. I was in a natural resources group at a BB.

-did a sum of the parts analysis for a target company for a major domestic oil company
-made an 80 slide book on potential asset acquisitions for a large middle eastern state owned oil producer
-created a secondary offering recommendation analysis and slide deck almost entirely on my own
-created slides and did light analysis work for an IPO for an oilfield services company spinning off one of its business units
-updated and circulated a weekly newsletter to the global oil and gas team that contained updates on global O&G M&A activity and potential corporate and asset transactions hitting the market

These are rough right now but I'm just looking of any example resumes you may have (preferably oil and gas specific) and/or any guidance on how these should appear on my resume. thanks!

Produced 80 slide book covering potential assets acquisitions for a global-sized middle eastern owned oil producer.

Independently created a slide deck and secondary which offered recommendation analysis used by XXX team.

Maintained and improved weekly newsletter informing our global oil and gas division of global O&G M&A activity and potential corporate and asset transactions hitting the market.

Handled auxiliary analysis for IPO for an oilfield services which resulted in spinning off one of its business units.

^ this is me being bored, take it all with a grain of salt.

That's pretty raw. I would not use the words "did" or "made". Don't use created twice.

Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
