About the Role
The Development Engineering Intern will support our Facilities and Process Engineering teams in the design, optimization, and execution of surface facilities and infrastructure supporting upstream oil and gas development. This role offers hands‑on exposure to project engineering, process modeling, facility design, production optimization, and field development planning.
Interns will work alongside experienced Development Engineers on real projects involving cost estimation, process simulations, equipment sizing, data analysis, and project execution for oil, gas, and water handling systems.
Key Responsibilities
Facilities & Process Engineering
Assist in the design, modeling, and optimization of surface facilities, including:
Oil, gas, and water separation equipment
Storage, treating, and measurement systems
Compression, dehydration, and artificial lift support systems
Perform basic process simulations (e.g., heat/mass balance, fluid flow, equipment performance) using software tools such as Aspen HYSYS, ProMax, or similar.
Support equipment sizing calculations and development of preliminary PFDs and P&IDs.
Project Engineering & Execution
Help prepare project scopes of work, cost estimates, bid packages, and project schedules.
Participate in project reviews, contractor meetings, and field site visits.
Conduct data gathering and field verification to support engineering and construction activities.
Assist with project documentation, including MOCs, construction packages, and as‑built drawings.
Field Development Support
Support development planning activities such as facility debottlenecking studies, infrastructure assessments, and economic analyses.
Analyze production, pressure, and facility performance data to identify optimization opportunities.
Support cross‑functional collaboration with Production, Drilling & Completions, Land, HSE, and Operations.
Required Qualifications
Fully authorized to work for any employer in the US without sponsorship now or in the future. Additionally, we are not authorized for employment under OPT/CPT/F1 visa programs.
Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Petroleum Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.

Process design and controls
Facility and equipment design
Project management or engineering economics
Experience with simulation tools such as HYSYS, ProMax, or PIPEPHASE.
Previous internship or field experience in oil and gas, energy, or industrial facilities.
Working knowledge of P&IDs, PFDs, and equipment datasheets.
What You Will Gain
Exposure to real engineering challenges within active oil & gas assets.
Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.
Field experience observing operations and construction activities.
Mentorship from experienced Development, Facilities, and Process Engineers.
Opportunities to contribute to meaningful projects that impact production, efficiency, and safety.
