INTRODUCTION

Hi, my name is Daniel Kurniawan, 20 y.o., and Im about to make a paperwork about Vacation Trainee in Schlumberger. So the thing is, I was applying to the selection test from about months ago from now (Now : 29-Mar-13). I got so excited to try this interview and all stuff going on. So basically this paper will be a guide for me, and maybe guide for you too if you decided to join the selection next year. So, it all came down to this, today I opened the website of Career Development Center UI (CDC UI) and this is the result form administration. I got my name on it, so I have to prepare myself to go to the interview since its not a much time left. So, lets get down to business, shall we?

III. HISTORY

1870s-1910s: An early passion The worlds first well logging company had its origins in the Alsace region on the French German border, where Conrad Schlumberger (born 1878) and his brother Marcel (born 1884) grew up as part of a family of six children. Their father, Paul Schlumberger, was descended from a wealthy cotton-weaving family; their mother, Marguerite de Witt, was a political activist and campaigner for womens rights. Conrad and Marcel both wanted to be scientists and their father supported their ambition. The brothers were sent to aris to further their education. Conrad became a physicist, graduating from the cole olytechnique in 1 00, before studying at the cole des ines. arcel became an engineer, graduating from the cole Centrale Paris in 1907.

Conrad took an early interest in earth sciences and developed a particular interest in prospecting for metal ore. He realized that metal ores should be distinguishable from their surroundings by measuring their electrical conductivity, as ore-bearing rock would be more conductive than what was around it. If an electric field could be generated below ground, voltage measurements at the surface could be mapped to show lines of equal potentialequipotential curveswhich could then be compared with what would be expected if no ore were present. Any differences could indicate the presence of mineral deposits. Now, he needed to put the theory to the test. In 1 10, Conrad Schlumberger began teaching physics at the cole des ines, where, the following year, he started tests on what was to become known as wireline logging, first in the lab and then out in the field. In 1912, using very basic equipment, he recorded the first map of equipotential curves at his estate near Caen in Normandy, before extending his surveys to iron mines in the area. The resulting mapping of equipotential curves not only confirmed the methods ability to detect metal ores but also revealed features of the subsurface structure, such as bed boundaries and the direction of formation layer dips. That Schlumbergers technique could provide this extra information was highly significant, as it meant that it might be useful for locating subsurface structures that could form traps for minerals such as oil and gas. However, progress was severely disrupted by World War I. Conrad served as an artillery officer from 1914-18, before returning to his research. He received strong support for his work from his family. In 1919, his brother Marcel began working as a partner with Conrad, initially in Normandy. Meanwhile, their father, Paul, provided them with fresh funds to take the research furtheron the condition that scientific gains must take precedent over financial benefits. However, Conrad had long been aware of the business potential of his research and had patented his discoveries in several countries, while studying how his electrical prospecting method could be turned into an industrial application. The next decade saw that commercial potential starting to be realized. 1878 : Conrad Schlumberger born in Alsace 1884 : Marcel Schlumberger born 1910 : Conrad Schlumberger begins teaching at the cole des ines, aris 1912 : Conrad Schlumberger conceives the revolutionary idea of using electrical measurements to map subsurface rock bodies 1919 : Marcel Schlumberger begins working with his brother Conrad
