For brilliant minds in science, technology, engineering and business operations, Battelle is the place to do the greatest good by solving humanity’s most pressing challenges and creating a safer, healthier and more secure world. At Battelle, interns and co-ops make an impact through hands-on learning and exciting and challenging projects. Our interns are an integral part of the teams they support and will feel like they are a true, valued team member. We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply. A brighter future is possible with _you_ . **Job Summary** We are currently seeking a **_Carbon Capture & Utilization Storage Intern for Summer 2026_** . Preference is for this position to be located in **_Columbus, OH., or Houston, TX, but can be remote. The application deadline is Feb 17, 2026._** Our Commercial CCUS Division in the Environment & Infrastructure Business Unit specializes in providing Commercial storage solutions to carbon dioxide emitters. We use advanced earth science tools, methods, and models to characterize geologic systems for long term storage of CO 2 . Our clients include ethanol, ammonia, gas processing, electric utilities, and others. Passive seismic monitoring is a key element in all Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) CO2 injection monitoring programs. Accurate and sufficiently sensitive microseismic arrays are critical for both event detection and correct event placement in the subsurface. A critical component of event detection is noise level at the seismometer stations and how it varies with depth in a shallow borehole. Using existing VSP datasets from current CCS projects, noise records as a function of depth can be extracted. These noise records can then be fed into sensitivity algorithms to yield minimum recoverable seismic event magnitude estimations. Having magnitude estimations as a function of burial depth allows for a more informed microseismic array design that can effectively balance cost with technical and regulatory requirements. **Responsibilities** As a CCUS Storage Intern, the selected individual will work within the team to either assist with subsurface geotechnical or engineering analysis or with the development of solutions. Examples of responsibilities based on current or anticipated projects include: + Assist in subsurface data processing & interpretation + Assist in static or dynamic model building + Assist with CCUS project management + Perform potential site screening activities + Assist with monitoring, verification, and accounting techniques, including surface and subsurface instrumentation suites and data analysis techniques. + Perform the integration of regional and local-scale geologic and geophysical data, including seismic surveys. **Key Qualifications** + Must be currently pursuing a bachelor’s or masters in Geology, Geophysics, Petroleum/Reservoir Engineering, or closely related discipline + Excellent written and oral communication skills + Must have at least two years of college coursework completed by the start of the internship + Must be U.S. Person by definition of U.S. export laws **Preferred Qualifications** + Hands-on experience with additional geologic analysis and integration software suites such as Petrel or GeoGraphix; or reservoir simulation software such as CMG. **Preparing You for Career Success** The Battelle intern and co-op program is a great way to increase experience both on a team and as an independent contributor.
