This hands-on experience helps you develop technical skills and a deeper understanding of how geophysics contributes to fields like energy exploration, environmental studies, and engineering projects.

What are geophysics internships?

Geophysics internships are short-term, practical work experiences for students or recent graduates interested in the field of geophysics. These internships typically involve assisting with research, data collection, analysis, and sometimes fieldwork related to the study of the Earth's physical properties. Interns may work with geophysical equipment, software, and data interpretation under the supervision of experienced geophysicists. The goal is to provide hands-on experience, industry exposure, and professional networking opportunities that can help launch a career in geophysics.

What is the difference between Geophysics Internships vs Geology Internships?

AspectGeophysics InternshipsGeology Internships
Required CredentialsTypically requires a background in geophysics, physics, or earth sciencesUsually requires geology, earth science, or environmental science background
Work EnvironmentFieldwork, data analysis, and technical modeling in exploration or research settingsField surveys, sample collection, and geological mapping in natural or industrial sites
Employer & Industry UsageOil & gas, mineral exploration, environmental consultingMining, environmental agencies, research institutions

Geophysics Internships focus on subsurface imaging, seismic data, and physical property analysis, while Geology Internships emphasize surface mapping, rock sampling, and geological assessments. Both roles involve fieldwork and data analysis but differ in technical focus and industry applications.

Job description

Chevron is one of the world's leading integrated energy companies. We believe affordable, reliable and ever-cleaner energy is essential to achieve a more prosperous and sustainable world. Chevron produces crude oil and natural gas, manufactures transportation fuels, lubricants, petrochemicals, and additives, and develops technologies that enhance our business and industry. To advance a lower-carbon future, we are focused on efficiently decreasing our carbon intensity, increasing renewables and offsets in support of our business, and investing in low-carbon technologies that enable commercial solutions. More information about Chevron is available at www.chevron.com.

For the 2026-2027 recruiting season, Chevron is accepting online applications for entry-level Petroleum Engineers.

Primary Location includes:

  • Houston, Texas

Other locations may include:

  • Covington, Louisiana
  • Midland, Texas

Petroleum Engineers within Chevron are part of multi-disciplinary teams which vary in make-up but can include petroleum engineers, geologists, geophysicists, facility engineers, drilling and completion engineers, data scientists, and / or software developers. Petroleum engineers develop technical skills in production and reservoir engineering assignments focused on asset development planning, production operations, reserves, uncertainty and risk management, and capital project development.

Entry-level Petroleum Engineers are assigned to production and reservoir engineering positions and projects that contribute value to Chevron. Entry-level Petroleum Engineers will be provided guidance by a supervisor and a technical mentor. Positions can be either field or office based.

For recent graduates, Chevron has a competency-based employee development program that typically includes two to three technical assignments in the first 5 years of their career. This is supported by comprehensive technical training and mentoring combined with on-the-job experience. Mobility is encouraged as there may be some opportunities for Chevron's Petroleum Engineers to work in a variety of assignments at different locations.

As a Petroleum Engineer, you could begin your career in Chevron's domestic upstream operations or research-focused Center of Excellence (COE) spending your first 5-10 years in a combination of production and/or reservoir engineering assignments. You will be tasked to solve technically challenging problems with the opportunity to utilize cutting-edge digital technologies and techniques. Opportunities to transfer to overseas locations may become possible after ten or more years of experience. Other opportunities for petroleum engineers may include asset team leadership, business planning and analysis, non-operated joint venture asset management, operations supervision, portfolio development, and project management.

Required Qualifications:

  • Students completing the last year of their bachelor's degree in petroleum engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related disciplines with less than two years of directly related work experience.
  • Strong academic performance in core programs, and very good communication, leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.
  • This position may require driving on a routine basis.

Additional Qualifications for the Chevron Subsurface Center of Excellence (COE):

  • Students completing the last year of their Master's or Doctorate program or with less than 2 years post-graduate degree experience in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related disciplines.
  • Experience in research, technology development or consulting.
  • Previous experience in an integrated oil or international service company intern program.
  • Participation in an industry or energy company university research project.
