What is a Shell Upstream?

Shell Upstream jobs refer to positions within Shell's upstream operations, which are focused on the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas. These roles can include geologists, drilling engineers, project managers, and other specialists who work to find and extract energy resources. Upstream activities are typically the first phase in the oil and gas industry value chain, preceding midstream (transportation) and downstream (refining and distribution) operations. Working in Shell Upstream often involves challenging environments, international opportunities, and a strong emphasis on safety and sustainability.
