Shell has been finding and producing oil and gas for over a century. Our Upstream International business searches for and recovers oil and natural gas across the world, except the Americas. This spans from exploration activities to the commercial delivery of major upstream projects and to Production. Many of these activities are carried out as joint venture partnerships, often with national oil companies. The business also liquefies gas and is active in gas to liquids technology. Today, we have interests in Upstream activities in more than 39 countries and employ around 17,000 people.

Ours is a technically challenging work environment characterised by a continuing need for research and the pursuit of new technology, and the adoption of new ways of working. It demands people who will thrive in a culture that encourages and rewards innovation, collaboration and the ability to learn from success as well as failure.

Shell has a tradition of meeting challenges, with a long history of successful partnerships and a string of patents to prove it. Over the coming decades, the development, integration and deployment of new ventures and technologies will continue. We at Upstream can offer professionals, both with technical and commercial background, a challenging and rewarding work environment where they are part of meeting the demands of the energy challenge.
