Job Description
Degree/Discipline Needed
MS or PhD Geology, quantitative background advantageous
What are we looking for?
A diverse group of talented geoscientists with the ability to
integrate knowledge, ideas and skills to solve geologic problems across
exploration, and production functions; Judgement and speed in
application of geoscience tools and techniques; and, a desire to
maintain their competitive advantage through advanced training and
superior technological understanding.
Exploration and production geologists and geophysicists
Geoscience careers with ExxonMobil also offer the opportunity to
perform basic and applied research in seeking new ways to find and
recover petroleum supplies. Our research programs reflect exploration
and production business strategies; for example, pursuing attractive
exploration opportunities, developing production from new fields, and
maximizing economic recovery from existing fields. We maintain close
relationships with ExxonMobil operating organizations around the world. A
primary means for transferring technology to ExxonMobil operations is
through research applications in which results of recent research are
applied to a wide range of exploration and production problems. In many
cases, these technical experts are made available to ExxonMobil
operating organizations through temporary or regular assignments.
Internships
ExxonMobil is dedicated to an ongoing recruiting program and our
geoscience internship is one avenue we pursue to find qualified
candidates. Each year, ExxonMobil hires bright and energetic students
who are participating in an MS or Ph.D. program. Internships are
available year round.
Typical Work Location
Initial assignments in exploration, production, development or
research are typically in Houston, Texas. Longer-term assignments could
be in Houston or one of our international offices located around the
globe.

Geoscientists with ExxonMobil have the opportunity to develop a wide
range of skills and expertise throughout their careers. Multiple
assignments in operations and/or research ensure the needed breadth and
depth of experience and expertise for success. Geoscientists have
opportunities to develop broad backgrounds necessary to do exploration
and production mapping and prospecting or to specialize in various
technical aspects of the exploration and production process.
Research
Fundamental and applied research opportunities also exist for PhD applicants in three general areas:
Hydrocarbon systems research includes, geochemistry, basin evolution, structural dynamics, petrophysics and geomechanics
Reservoir performance prediction research includes controls on flow in
clastic and carbonate reservoirs, geologic modeling and visualization
Geophysics research includes advanced processing, acquisition,
interpretation and modeling of seismic and other geophysical data
Research in all areas includes a significant component of field
studies and takes advantage of state-of-the-art analytical and
experimental laboratories and processing and numerical modeling
capabilities.
