107 upstream interview questions shared by candidates

Do you prefer working independently or in a team? In a team is the "right" answer of course. Describe the last group project that you worked on. Describe when you last helped somebody. A lot of questions on your relationship with your former colleagues and bosses. What does break even oil really mean? Read about ATIRR 15% and breakeven oil prices. You will see that breakeven oil price is actually not enough for a company to break even. Why companies are winding down GoM exploration? Read on COP exiting offshore exploration by 2017, MRO on scaling back conventional exploration plans, and MUR on drilling on commitment basis only.
