The process took 3 days. I interviewed at SLB (Fort Worth, TX) in Nov 2010
Interview
Very long and rigorous interview that provides a glimpse into the field engineer lifestyle. The first night consisted of presentations on the different company divisions, first from interviewees then from Schlumberger employees, followed by a team building exercise. The day lasted until 2 am.
The second day started by 7am. It consisted of a tour of a nearby job site, roundtable discussions with current employees, an individual presentation from interviewees (there were about 20 of us), and then dinner that night.

It was an on campus hiring. First they shortlisted based on CV. Then second round was group discussion where we were given abstract topics like "Half filled glass of water" and were asked to discuss. This was also an eliminatory round. The final round was more of a HR round, they asked behavioural questions, few puzzles (very easy) and general knowledge questions
