OVERVIEW: The Geological Resources Team conducts multidisciplinary applied research and develops innovative approaches to improve the understanding of geological subsurface processes related to conventional and unconventional, as well as low carbon resources. Domains of specialization include structural geology, organic and inorganic geochemistry, rock physics and geomechanics. The Graduate Summer Intern supports a defined research project involving laboratory experimentation, data analysis, modeling, literature review, or evaluation of emerging technologies related to resources characterization, exploration and development. Working under the guidance of experienced researchers, the intern will contribute to project deliverables while gaining practical experience in an industrial R&D environment. SCOPE: Focused on completing a defined, supervised research assignment related to the team’s multidisciplinary missions. PRINCIPAL DUTIES: • Research and Technical Support • Contribute to a defined research project involving structural geology, organic/inorganic geochemistry, rock physics, or geomechanics for conventional, unconventional or low carbon resources. • Conduct focused literature reviews and summarize relevant advances in resources characterization, exploration and development. • Assist with laboratory experiments, technology evaluations, or workflow development under the guidance of experienced researchers. • Explore topics that may include basic rock and fluids characterization, chemical and physical properties based exploration workflows, physical properties modeling and prediction, multiscale faulting and fracturing. • Data Analysis and Problem Solving • Analyze experimental results and, as applicable, geological, petrophysical, completion, or production data using appropriate methods and software. • Develop, modify, or apply code and research software, as needed, to support data analysis, modeling, experimental workflows, or technology development activities. • Apply scientific and engineering principles to investigate research questions, identify trends, and develop well-supported conclusions. • Document methods, assumptions, results, and limitations to support reproducible research. • Collaboration and Communication • Collaborate with team members and other R&D groups, participate in technical discussions, and incorporate feedback into assigned work. • Prepare a technical report, project updates, and a final presentation summarizing the research problem, approach, results, and conclusions. • Support preparation of publications, conference materials, or other technical communications when appropriate. • Safety and Professional Responsibilities • Follow all laboratory safety procedures and contribute to a safe, accident-free work environment. • Comply with company safety, cybersecurity, confidentiality, and professional conduct requirements. • Perform other project-related duties as assigned within the scope of the internship. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, geoscience, physics, mathematics, or a related field, with current enrollment in a graduate program in one of these disciplines. • Relevant coursework or research experience in geology, porous media, fluid flow, geochemistry, petrophysics, geomechanics, laboratory characterization, or related subsurface systems is preferred. • Experience in laboratory experimentation, data analysis, modeling, numerical methods, or scientific computing is desirable. • Familiarity with technical computing or programming tools such as Python, C++, or MATLAB is desirable. • Ability to review technical literature, analyze results, maintain research records, and communicate findings clearly in written and spoken English. • Ability to work independently and collaboratively, follow guidance, and demonstrate professionalism, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic. • Availability for the full internship term.
