2012 ExxonMobil Engineering Recruitment (Trainee and Experienced Professionals)

Guys abeg give us hints! Abi no PE person wrote last year???

Hello,everyone.Does anyone have an idea of what civil engineers should prepare for?Thanks.

Check this out... you may not know http://payram.com/ref.php?page=act/ref&invcod=53428

@Triple baba, thanks man.....

I almost missed the skill test invitation cos it was in my spam since friday and I have been so busy I didnt even have time to check. Hope to see u guys sat...;)

WISHING u guys all da best

@yoobawonderboy. I am a civil engineer too and i have been having problems too knowing what to read for. will it be general engineering for everybody or dependent on your degree? please anibody with an idea should help. Thanks

You should be able to deduce calculations without thinking too much. The use of calculators is irrelevant. You are no longer in the aptitude stage and a calculator will not give any advantage. If the problems require calculators, they'll let you use them. Considering the number of candidates, i doubt the interview will be the same day. (Don't quote me on that oo)

POI hope this helps

The possibility depends on Mobil keeping to schedule. You probably would be using just a floor at Canton House and believe me accreditation would always take some time and that would be the deciding factor.

For d mobil skill test, how many batches are writing?

Are people writing this test in Lagos only? Are there no Uyo, London and Houston centres?

You all have my best wishes.

@ALL: plz how do I get to Canton Concourse, 12 Land bridge Avenue, Oniru Estate, Victoria Island from CMS? I'm coming from outside Lag but can find my way to CMS.

I know of d London centre, don't know of Uyo, and Houston, I believe Houston should have, but I doubt Uyo

As per the houston center, well, unless boyz are doing some serious "under g", i haven't heard of anyone in the US writing the skills test. Maybe only a "select" few got through. I still don't think it was a wise decision to use the same basis/score/criteria to judge everyone. The foreign guys didn't get the opportunity to re-write this test so using a common scale for foreign and nigerian centres was/is a "goof" in my opinion. Anyway, good luck to all taking the test.

For petroleum engineering guys: revise the basics of your reservoir engineering (preferably by skimming thru Tarek Ahmad). A good petroleum engineer should be able to play around pressure like a toy, so be sure that 50% of your questions will contain pressure related exercises. Pressure gradients, productivity index, API, decline curve analysis and so on should be in your finger tips. Master the recovery mechanisms with their various xteristics as well as types of oil reservoirs. As usual, porosity, permeability and saturation things are expected. All the best guys!

yes Tolaa, I applied for experienced position and will be writing the skills test this sat.

Guys! who knows whether gate crashing gonna be possibile at Canton Concourse VI 2moro? . What is the nature of the building (venue)?

Thanks gus

@inemboy: iHiss

ATTENTION!!!!
(Check your spam folder 1st, I didn't realize i was invited for this test until a few hours ago. Y? cos the mail was in my spam folder all along!)
If Chevron test is anything to go by then i speculate the test for 2mao will have standard engineering questions that engineers from all fields are expected to know.
That said, i will advise you should focus of basic engineering designs and calculations, engineering economics and also calculations related to project management.
You should also focus on specifics related to your course of study in case we are made to answer one or two questions in our individual course of study.
Good luck 2mao.
Does anyone have a spare calculator?

Finally guys, who pays more for entry engineers? Chevron or Mobil?

Tomorrow is the D-day; I have found it so difficult to read......

Reading across a wide body of knowledge no be small thing.....

Whao....Lets see how it goes tomorrow!!!!!!!!

Hello house. Has anyone with a professional IT background been called for the skills test? Please respond.

@ All, hope this isnt coming late but the canton concourse is very close to shoprite in case u are looking for directions, Diamond bank is on land bridge avenue(very close to the toll gate), just trace the L-shaped road down to the venue. Hope this helps.

@ Rainbow, please what position did u apply for? your urgent response would be appreciated?

@ Read7: I specified subsurface engineer in my cover letter, that was the only way to apply for the experienced positions right?

Morning @all. Wishing u a splendid day ahead filled with success. May God grant us wisdom and divine speed. It is well .
