Production Geoscience
Production Geoscience is at the core of Shell’s business and is suited to creative, technical graduates keen to embrace innovative technology.
The Shell Graduate Programme
As a Production Geoscientist joining the technical area of the Shell Graduate Programme for Geoscience is a technical, three-year blended learning programme. It is a combination of on-the-job development, structured training and fieldwork, designed to introduce you to the full scope of Shell’s operations, build your networks and give you a broad foundation for your future career.
You’ll be able to apply your skills and be assigned to work as part of a team on a current technical project. During the Shell Graduate Programme you’ll have the chance to rotate between roles, all the while working closely with senior technical experts.
Production Geoscience
Join Shell as a Production Geoscientist and you’ll be working largely at field scale, describing and modelling the static subsurface, proposing development concepts and production wells.
