Triple C ... Amen oo amen and amen thanks. I didnt expect the fluid mechanics part.. But i did wat i could n left d rest 4 God.. The Economics part 2 mehn.. Den some safety manual studd 4 process ppl mehn.. God dey but for subsequent skill tests tho.. I got an FE manual n 1001 solved eng calc book dat cud help.

was it theory or OBJ

Mega thanks BJ...please confirm it was 8 compulsory questions, 6 General Engrg questions, and 2 discipline questions or how exactly was it...and for how long as per time? Was chatting with a friend who wrote today but he needed to rest after a hard days job I guess.

I guess the element of surprise was d biggest impact on this test, not really knowing the nature or where it was coming from

please your response is highly appreciated

Please bros can u help me with that Manual cos i have a test next week for Total reservoir engineering....if u have a material that can help please here is my email,[email protected]

God I've done my best... Just take over.

please someone talk us tru the test naah...everyone has written so fear not, no one will have undue advantage over u....Thanks

A guy who wrote for Electrical indicated that they were six (6) general engineering questions meant for every damn person to answer. Then two (2) more questions, according to him (Nos 19 and 20) for Electrical and Instrumentation. He maintained that there were questions on economics, volume calculations (involving unit conversions from inches to feet to meters), physics and then typical electrical question in the position specific part without giving formula (thereby giving an edge to those who studied electrical engineering).
I have confirmed this, and am posting it now that everyone has finished writing, because I also heard they were advised not to disclose the nature of questions as it would give others yet to write some advantage over them (and of course tell the general public what Chevron questions look like).

I heard some electrical guys re yet to write, so pls be wise not to put those that have written at an undue disadvantage.
Anyways, @Triple C, the test turned out to be an exam, at least, for Mech engrn guys! SMH!
Good luck guys...

tot everyone has written...the test was 30th everywhere and for everyone....it is well oh!

I wish y'all d best

@ all

I think a few people here and on the other thread have said it all. I'd just try to shed some light as it affected me participating in the skilltest for the Chemical engineering position. The questions 1-6 were compulsory,psycadellic and exactly as others have said.

The chemical specialty exams for graduates was 11 and 12. The ones for experienced was just next to it and like most people have already said it was much easier than the graduate one. The graduate section had a question on fluid flow where bernoullis equation was to be employed. Here we were to draw a simple diagram of the process, label it and then answer about 6 questions under it. The questions were based on the velocities of the pumps inlet and outlet orifices, Reynolds no, pressure drop etc (I believe mech/subsea guys did the same first question). The major gbege there was the useless conversions from bbl/d to cu.ft/sec for the flowrate and the conversion factors they attached to some of the formulas they provided. for e.g, the reynolds number equation had a 123. something multiplied to the (density, ave velocity.../dynamic viscosity). The dynamic viscosity here was in centipoise so one had to convert it to lbf-s/sq.ft. The actual questions asked here posed no serious challenges save the numerous conversions one had to endure sha. But by God's grace my scientific calculator came in handy.

As for the second question, I just dey vex as I see am. They asked something on the 3 components for a safety analysis as represented in the API 14C material. I thought this question was better suited for the experienced people that should have been grounded well in this area. Instead they gave it to us and it was worth 9 marks! The B aspect of it had another irritating question on the sizing of an orifice using one Qh=Ftf*Fp*sqr(Hw.......G somehwhere etc....) one nonsense equation like that sha. I still dont have a clue as to what the G meant in that equation. But Gods grace is sufficient. This question was worth 11marks!

I peeped at the process instrumentation question and i felt i would have faired better answering their first question (speciality) which was based on ISA symbology things like that sha. I read it by chance. lol

I have been kabashing since i wrote that exam yesterday oh especially as the NB just sent me a regret mail sometime ago. hahaha! My faith is the victory that has overcome the world-Dragnet, Workforce etc included.
