Does anyone know what engineering jobs would move to India? Someone just give insight if you know already.

The answer OP is all of them. All the jobs will go to India. Sad but true. It will take some time but if you stick around it will make your job he-l. Best advice is to leave as soon as you can.
“ If you have field experience, dirty boots, and a beat up hardhat you are probably going to be fine.”
That is what we thought at Exxon until the India expats started showing up in the US.
“ You can't run a refinery in California from India. I can't believe that these jobs will be impacted. Anyone have info to differ?”
Exxon here. No but you can bring Indians to the US as expats. That is what Exxon is doing.

there is 112 jobs listed. Sounds like they will take anyone to do any job they can outsource.

It doesn’t take an engineer or a Geo with a masters to plan a Permian wellbore. SLB is automating your workflows anyway.

Structural analysis, FMEA, process models, flow assurance, dashboard creation, specialized programs, anything that doesn't require a decision to be made......

If Exxon or Shell are to be used as examples, every engineering role can be moved abroad.
Surveillance, operations support, and routine design are the easiest to sh-t abroad. Same goes for tidy technical analysis workflows (E.g. pressure transient analysis, and routine simulation studies or history matching).
Hardest to shift abroad are roles with a strong commercial or judgement tie (E.g., exploration, development optimization, etc.), business development tie (E.g. new ventures, origination, etc.) or program management (E.g., leading a component of a development program, asset, etc.).
Eventual progression will be for lower value, routine stuff to shift to India. Additionally, expect hybrid staffing structures (E.g., 3 indians, 3 Americans) across asset teams in many/most assets.
Every engineering job in chevron is going to India.
Sell the king ranches and tundras boys, you'll be making carolla money working at home Depot with the kids who got history degrees.
Only the non-petrotech engineering work, supposedly.
All. Facilities, IT, Wells, can all be done remotely
