About The Company
Oil & Gas Exploration and Production Company Established in 1965, Mewbourne Oil Company has grown into one of the more prominent independent oil and natural gas producers in the Anadarko and Permian Basins of Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. The company’s success over the years can be attributed to a conservative approach to the business and a philosophy of managing all phases of operations from “prospect to pipeline”. From the Company’s headquarters in Tyler, Texas, and with its three exploration offices located in Amarillo and Midland, Texas, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, along with four operation offices located in Perryton and Midland, Texas, Woodward, Oklahoma, and Hobbs, New Mexico, Mewbourne Oil Company develops oil and natural gas prospects, acquires leasehold interests, and serves as the operator in the drilling, completion and production of oil and natural gas wells. With over 50 years of experience, the company has focused its efforts on two of this country’s most prolific producing regions, the Anadarko, and Permian Basins. Historically, the Company has emphasized establishing long-life natural gas reserves through the drilling of medium-depth wells between 3,000 and 13,000 feet deep Prospective drill sites generally include field extensions, step-outs, trend plays and other anomalies that are believed to be contiguous to areas where the presence of oil and natural gas has already been established. The company currently operates over 2,500 wells. Mewbourne Oil Company has consistently been successful in attracting and retaining professional talent within the industry and at the university level. Mewbourne also actively recruits for petroleum engineering, geology, and petroleum land management students at the university level for summer internships and entry-level positions. We have demonstrated an ability to continue the development of these quality employees and to growth opportunities regardless of the current business cycle the industry experiences
About the Role

About this role

As a Geology Intern at Mewbourne Oil Company, you will gain hands-on experience supporting exploration and development activities across the Anadarko and Permian Basins. This immersive internship provides direct exposure to the geological evaluation of oil and gas prospects, subsurface mapping, drilling operations, and reservoir development strategies within a leading independent oil and gas company.

Interns work alongside experienced geologists, reservoir engineers, land professionals, and operations teams to develop a comprehensive understanding of the role geology plays in identifying and developing hydrocarbon resources. Through technical projects, software training, field exposure, and mentorship, interns will contribute to real-world evaluations of drilling opportunities while gaining insight into the full life cycle of exploration and development activities.

This internship is designed to provide meaningful, practical experience while helping interns build technical expertise, critical thinking skills, and a solid foundation in petroleum geology. Interns are encouraged to ask questions, contribute ideas, and take ownership of projects that support business objectives and development planning.

Key Learning Opportunities:

  • Assist with subsurface mapping, geological interpretation, and prospect evaluation activities.
  • Analyze well logs, production data, core data, and regional geological trends.
  • Gain exposure to geosteering operations and horizontal drilling programs.
  • Support evaluations of potential drilling and development locations.
  • Learn industry-standard geological software and data management tools.
  • Collaborate with Geology, Reservoir Engineering, Land, Drilling, and Operations teams to understand the integrated decision-making process.
  • Participate in field visits to gain a practical understanding of drilling, completion, and production operations.
  • Complete a summer project and present findings and recommendations to company leadership.
