You will:

• Gain real-world insight into the upstream oil and gas industry through a summer-long Land project, complemented by smaller assignments that provide exposure to multiple Land teams.
• Explore Chevron’s diverse operations by engaging with teams across business segments. You’ll gain exposure to traditional oil and gas operations as well as having the opportunity to collaborate with Chevron New Energies, giving you a comprehensive view of the opportunities within our company.
• Receive personalized support through a dedicated mentor who will help you build your Land knowledge and guide you throughout the internship.
• Understand the critical role Land professionals play in Chevron’s exploration and production activities, and how they contribute to the company’s success.

Job Description:

As a Land Intern at Chevron, you’ll support cross-functional teams including Legal, Finance, and Operations by helping drive informed, strategic decisions. Your responsibilities may include:

• Negotiating with industry partners and landowners, and drafting agreements related to oil and gas exploration and production.
• Conducting title research to support exploration, asset development, optimization, and asset retirement activities.

• Commitment to learning and feedback: Proactively engage with land professionals to quickly build a strong understanding of the land organization’s role and impact on oil and gas development.

• Negotiation ability: Use appropriate interpersonal skills and communication methods to establish effective relationships with third parties, including government agencies, landowners, and partner company representatives to negotiate the agreements and documentation necessary for oil and gas development.
• Planning and organizational ability: Demonstrate the ability to set priorities and guide yourself and others to ensure timely and efficient completion of work.
• Team-oriented mindset: Collaborate effectively within team settings and contribute to cross-functional initiatives to address business challenges.
