I applied through university. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at SLB in Feb 2013
Interview
First you need to approve a math and physics exam (basic concepts, around 20 questions). After passing the exam you have a simple interview, more about personal details. Then one day after they said I got into the 2nd round of the hiring process, for which I had to wait around 5 months, you should expect to wait a long time for this (one candidate waited for more than 8 months). In that 2nd round you have to perform a series of tasks and tests, along with a personal presentation where they ask you interview like questions (why do you want to work with us, what makes you suitable for this job, etc.)

Question 1
In my case, having a major completely unrelated to the oil industry, a question about why would I work in this company instead of something related to my major. The typical question about weaknesses and who am I have always been quite difficult to answer for me
1st round interview included short technical question, and telling about myself and the projects I worked on.
Not difficult/or hard, but just need to explain well enough to tell the logic process
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
