Internship Petroleum Engineer - Summer 2027

Petroleum Engineer Intern

As a Petroleum Engineer Intern at Mewbourne Oil Company, you will gain hands-on experience in the day-to-day operations of a leading independent oil and gas company. This immersive internship provides direct exposure to field production activities, drilling and completion operations, facility maintenance, regulatory compliance, and safety procedures across Mewbourne's operating areas. Interns work alongside experienced field personnel, foremen, lease operators, production engineers, and management teams to develop a comprehensive understanding of upstream oil and gas operations.

Through field visits, job shadowing, and project-based assignments, interns will observe and participate in activities such as well site inspections, production optimization efforts, equipment monitoring, troubleshooting operational challenges, and analyzing field performance data. This internship is designed to provide meaningful, real-world experience while helping interns build technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and an understanding of how various disciplines work together to safely and efficiently produce oil and natural gas.

Interns are encouraged to ask questions, contribute ideas, and take ownership of projects that support operational objectives.

Observe daily field operations, including production, drilling, completion, and facility activities. Partner with field personnel to understand well performance, production equipment, and operational processes. Participate in safety meetings, field inspections, and environmental compliance initiatives.

Our internship program invites undergraduate students to apply for consideration. We are seeking student interns with a healthy academic performance, strong work ethic, and demonstrated interest in the petroleum industry.
