The program provides geoscience graduate students, pursuing an MS or PhD, with hands-on, real-world experience supporting Woodside’s Exploration and Subsurface Units - through project-based work aligned to business priorities. Interns will gain experience conducting subsurface evaluations in support of Woodside’s US/International Exploration business or Production Assets. 

 

Interns will work alongside experienced geoscientists and technical professionals, gaining exposure to Woodside’s operating environment, safety culture, subsurface standards, and values while developing technical, professional, analytical, and leadership capabilities.
