ROLE SYNOPSIS
The Petrophysicist Intern will be work in a multi-disciplinary R&D and deployment team of geologists, geophysicists, and petroleum engineers and will provide expert petrophysical insight leveraging image-based rock physics technologies.  
The key job duties and accountabilities may include:
• Provide high quality deep petrophysical and rock physics expertise to Research and Development Programs using petrophysics and pore-scale imaging technologies to deliver new wells and reservoir surveillance
• Provide high quality specialist technical service work in such as image segmentation, simulations of pore-scale physics, data analysis and reporting
• Develop, validate and deploy new computational/theoretical/empirical methods in rock physics to model and understand the petrophysical properties of porous media
• Engage in log quality control and integrated data analysis for estimation of petrophysical parameters critical to reservoir characterization and development decisions
• Perform rock typing and geologic interpretation to assist in geologic modeling through linkage with in-house upscaling technologies
• Develop techniques and workflows that set BP’s expectations for petrophysical evaluation and integration

LOCATION(S)
Houston, TX

QUALIFICATIONS
Minimum Requirements:
•Cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher
•Students should be graduating in December 2020-May 2021
• Internships are not available for students who have completed their degree or who will graduate prior to the conclusion of the internship
• BP will support US Immigration sponsorship for full-time or long-term employment
• Knowledge of petrophysical and log interpretation analysis for integrated well and subsurface reservoir characterization 
• Knowledge of rock physics technologies including image acquisition, image processing, and simulations of pore-scale physics
• Experience coding in a high-level programming language (MATLAB, Python, C++, C, C#, or FORTRAN)


Preferred Requirements:
• Experience working in Linux environment
• Experience shell scripting (bash, csh, ksh, or perl) in a Linux environment
• Experience working in a High-Performance Computing environment
• Familiarity with major petrophysical software packages, 3D visualization and image processing software packages

DEVELOPMENT
As a first step, nothing prepares you better for a career with us than an internship. Our internship program provides hands-on, career-specific experience working full-time, usually during summer breaks. You will work on real projects that deliver tangible benefits and measurable results. You will experience genuine teamwork, and work alongside highly qualified and experienced colleagues, while you work on live projects and operations, using the latest equipment and technology. Summer internships last 12 weeks.
All interns are supported by a line manager who sets your objectives with you and ensures you have the training and equipment to succeed. A detailed and focused appraisal process is essential to ensure that you get the most from your experience. Additionally, you will also be assigned a mentor/buddy who helps network you across BP, discusses your progress and can address any questions you have. Depending on your performance, you could be offered a full-time job following the end of your internship. The internship program also provides many opportunities for networking, social events and professional development.
 
 
SEGMENT
The Upstream segment is responsible for our activities in oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production, as well as midstream transportation, storage and processing. We also market and trade natural gas, including liquefied natural gas, power and natural gas liquids.
We deliver our exploration, development and production activities through five global technical and operating functions:
• The exploration function is responsible for renewing our resource base through access, exploration and appraisal, while the reservoir development function is responsible for the stewardship of our resource portfolio over the life of each field.
• The global wells organization and the global projects organization are responsible for the safe, reliable and compliant execution of wells (drilling and completions) and major projects.
• The global operations organization is responsible for safe, reliable and compliant operations, including upstream production assets and midstream transportation and processing activities.
We optimize and integrate the delivery of these activities across 12 regions, with support provided by global functions in specialist areas of expertise: technology, finance, procurement and supply chain, human resources and information technology.
