Geologists and Geophysicists within Chevron are part of multi-disciplinary teams which vary in make-up but can include reservoir engineering, production engineering, simulation engineering, facility engineering and well engineering operations functions. These positions will provide technical geological or geophysical support and risk assessment for prospect generation, reserves recovery and major capital projects.

For most recent graduates, Chevron has a competency-based employee development program that includes two to three technical assignments in the first 5 years of your career supported by strong technical mentoring and comprehensive technical training. Mobility is encouraged as there are many opportunities for Chevron geologists and geophysicists to work in a variety of assignments at different locations, both domestic and international.

Responsibilities for this position may include but are not limited to:

Geologic Skills: Successful geology candidates must be familiar with development geology work processes and have the ability to integrate seismic, well, and production data to evaluate reservoirs. Reservoir Management skills such as reservoir mapping, modeling and characterization must be demonstrated. The successful candidate also needs to be adept at volumetric, reserve and risk assessments. Formation evaluation and planning for and managing reservoir surveillance programs or new well, sidetrack and work over planning could also be expected job functions.

Geophysical Skills: Successful geophysical candidates must be familiar with geophysical tools (velocity, amplitudes, AVO modeling, rock physics, seismic processing, etc.) to assist earth scientists and engineers in prospect generation and reserves recovery. The candidate must keep abreast of new and emerging technologies, maintain close ties with geophysical vendors and intra-company technology networks and leverage when appropriate.

Required Qualifications:
