I applied through university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at SLB in Dec 2013
Interview
First Round: 30 min. Phone interview. Some of the questions asked: Why Schlumberger? Why Field Engineering? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Tell me about yourself. Tell me about *insert something from your resume*. Describe a situation where you had to adapt to a sudden change.
Second Round: 2 day interview at Midland.
First Day - Presentations by recruiters and mixed group of full-time/intern candidates. Presentation topics were given a few days before the scheduled interview dates. Presentations went on till 2-3 am. Dinner and a team-building exercise were also a part of the first day.
Second Day - Site tour. Work sites were visited and employees talked about the work they did. Bus left at 8 am. Arrived back at the hotel at around 3-4 ish. 1 hr break was given. Short 10-15 min. exit interviews with each candidate. Questions comprised of "Which segment do you want to work in?" (make sure to take notes during the presentations on the first day) "Why do you want to work in that segment?", "How did you hear of SLB?", "What do you think of field engineering now?" Then, dinner was had. End of 2nd round interviews. Third day was just going back home.

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
