Chevron's skills tests are always different with regards to discipline. the earth scientist test today was different from the petroleum engineering test. the former had MCQ whereas the other did not. One common answer though is that calculators were allowed. Time duration was also different. If you are in Nigeria, transport fare will be refunded ad Chevron pays one of the highest t-fares

Hope that helps.

Cheers

please house anyone with materials for Process/Chemical, help a brother!

It will be good if the Petroleum Engineers and Earth Scientists based in UK that took part in the skills test to inform us of how they changed their venue from NG to UK.

All my efforts to reach the contact provided in the invitation is currently void.

I think they were just doing "eye service" when they included foreign based candidates in the first place. I don't think they are really ready to cater to anyone outside naija. Why else would they request for you to do it in Lagos when they know you took the aptitude test abroad. They may have responded to the pet guys due to a higher number of participants. Maybe its just you and a handful taking it in the UK. It really shouldn't be hard for them to have it scheduled at their office in london for you but such is the incompetence you have to deal with.

for change of venue, do a mail to Bibiana XXXXXXX, and copy KIMBXXX guy (D guy who sent you the invitation), let them know u are currently in the UK and will like to be scheduled there.

If you can also get a ot of your pals or those who you know are writing to also send them mails, it will swing the decision in your favour, and make it easier for CHV also.

Please those that had the Petroleum Engineering Test - is it similar to what we have in that IEC GMAT book, because the questions there are also theory questions. I am wondering if the Facilities Engineering Test will also be from the same book?

@ ALL, the test was "okay"

Earth Scientist had 3 hours to do their test, MCQ, a little of GeoPhysics, so much of MAP READING...a good understanding of 3rd year Map Reading will do you good, as reported by my friend who did the test for Earth Scientist.

Pet Engrs had
2 hours test
17 questions, section one had 10 to answer any 8, and section two had 7 questions to answer any 4.
Calculators were allowed
formula sheets were provided...but hmmm, that formula sheet is something else oh! confusing to say the least...but nevertheless helpful at some critical points.
Questions covered Petroleum Engineering, CHem ENgrg, Mech ENgrg, and EEE.
Reservoir Engrg, Well test, inclined planes, flow rates to fill a depth in a tank (mass balance things), decline curve, drilling (pressures), formation volume factors, solution gas, material balance, formation pressures and pressure gradients, force exerted in a tank by a column of fluid, API and specific gravities, weight in air and apparent weight in water (bouyancy things), resistors in series and parallel (power) etc.

Lots of conversions from one set of units to another...most answers were required in field units, Acres, bbls, lbs, Deg Rankine etc...please for those writing Facilities, know your Volume, Area, Length and Mass conversions wella.

best of all, do ur part...and Pray that God direct your last minute preps, go ahead of you to make every crooked way straight and empower your hands to excel.
