2027 Summer Intern- Geology (Houston, TX)
About The Position
The Geology Intern will support Diversified’s Subsurface team by evaluating wellbore utilization opportunities across Texas and New Mexico. The intern will focus on identifying remaining reservoir potential, assessing recompletion and uplift opportunities, and helping expand the company’s inventory of wells with remaining utility—whether through continued production, recompletion, injection, disposal, or gas storage. This role is ideal for a geology student interested in reservoir characterization, wellbore optimization, and applied geoscience in mature fields. The intern will gain hands‑on experience with subsurface mapping, wellbore analysis, and multidisciplinary collaboration with reservoir engineers and data teams.
Requirements
- Actively enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Geology, Geophysics, Earth Science, Petroleum Geoscience, or related field.
- Strong interest in reservoir characterization and applied subsurface geology.
- Ability to work with log data, production history, and mapping software.
- Proficiency with Excel and basic data management.
- Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with Petra, ArcGIS Pro, or similar subsurface software.
- Familiarity with well logs, basic petrophysics, and reservoir behavior.
- Prior internship or hands‑on geoscience project experience.
- Exposure to operations in mature basins (Permian, Central Basin Platform, Texas Gulf Coast, NM shelf, etc.).
Responsibilities
- Evaluate wells with remaining uplift potential or remaining reservoir utility, including recompletion/refrac opportunities in the producing zone, conversions to injection, disposal, or gas storage wells, and utility in shallower zones where applicable.
- Maintain and continually update an inventory of wells categorized by potential future use.
- Work with reservoir engineers and production engineers to track wells with remaining reserves, recompletion or workover potential, and plug‑and‑play suitability for injection or storage, considering economic factors.
- Map reservoirs across Texas and New Mexico to determine structural and stratigraphic framework, reservoir continuity and thickness, and remaining hydrocarbons in place.
- Create structure, isopach, net pay, and reservoir quality maps using log and production data.
- Identify analog production to support recompletion and economic uplift analysis.
- Estimate remaining hydrocarbon volumes‑in‑place using decline data, log data, and analog comparisons.
- Assist engineers by compiling subsurface inputs for recompletion economics (type curves, analogs, depletion mapping).
- Map depleted formations to determine suitability for gas storage or conversion to Class II injection or disposal.
- Evaluate log data, pressure histories, and production trends to assess containment and injectivity.
- Organize, clean, and maintain Petra projects for assigned fields.
- Ensure well data, log curves, tops, surveys, and production histories are accurate and complete.
- Assist in building project templates and subsurface data workflows used by the geology team.
- Work closely with Reservoir Engineers, Production Engineers, Regulatory, and Land departments.
- Participate in team reviews, utilization planning discussions, and field development meetings.
