Job Description
We’re Equinor, a broad energy company with 21,000 colleagues committed to developing oil, gas, wind and solar energy in more than 30 countries worldwide. As the largest operator in Norway, a leading international offshore operator and a growing force in renewables and low-carbon solutions, we’re shaping the future of energy.
We’ll need to be a leader in the energy transition in order to meet an increasing demand for energy in a more sustainable way. It’s one of the biggest challenges facing humankind today, and every business area, team and project plays an important role in meeting this challenge. Our summer internships are no different.
Do you want to contribute to shaping the future of energy?
The Equinor summer internship is a 6-week virtual programme designed to give you the experience and skills you need to approach your career with confidence. The programme for 2021 starts on 21 June and finishes on 6 August 2021. In this period, you will have one-week holiday from the 19 July to the 23 July 2021.Job DescriptionEnergy is at the core of society and how we conduct our lives. The world needs affordable and reliable energy to support a growing population and economic growth. At the same time, society needs to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in order to tackle the effects of climate change. Addressing this dual challenge requires governments, industry and consumers to push for substantial and rapid changes to the global energy mix.
Equinor is well positioned for the energy transition as one of the world’s most carbon efficient oil and gas producers and as a significant player in renewables. However, to stay resilient in the future we need to continue to transform our approach and work even more collaboratively with partners and stakeholders, accelerating the speed of the energy transition. This is why we are setting an ambition to reduce the net carbon intensity of the energy we produce by at least 50% by 2050.
Future Value Chains is a part of Equinor developing technologies and business concepts for future energy supply systems. We are looking for interns for the following internships:
Energy system modelling
The topic for this internship is energy systems modelling, with the purpose to provide insight into the complexity of the energy transition and its effect on the future energy systems. Energy models can provide more precise and fact-based investment decisions. These models require a tremendous amount of input data for which gathering, quality-assuring and continuously updating this data is a critical task. The internship work comprises the preparation of data input for power systems in selected regions. A background in electrical engineering and power systems is preferable, but not a requirement.
Hydrogen and CCS
The topic for the internship is modeling and simulations of an energy system based on hydrogen production and subsequent CO2 capture and storage (CCS). The task will be to evaluate hydrogen production from natural gas in Norway and export to the European market. Specific tasks will be to provide conceptual advices and conduct a techno-economical assessments for location of a hydrogen production facility in Norway, hydrogen production reforming technology and simulations thereof, transport and storage of CO2, transport and distribution of hydrogen to the European market and a market assessment of hydrogen demand in Europe. A background in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, material science, physics or similar is preferable, but not a requirement.
Deep sea minerals
The topic for the internship is geostatistical applications of machine learning for deep-sea mineral exploration. Topics to be addressed are data mining, feature engineering, model training on sample data, and predictions on features in the form of maps.
