Interviewed Oct 2010 in Houston, TX (took 4 weeks)
I got first round through the University career website for the position of Petrophysicist/Well Log Analyst. I think their first round selection is completely random, as many of my friends with same profile did not get the interview call, while a few others (highly unfit for the position) got the call.
Well-Logging, I am good at it, so I analyzed the well-log given to me in the first round really well. The interviewer a Geologist asked me a lot of other clichéd-interview questions and I gave her clichéd answers.
I got a second round call. On-site interview, where I presented my research work (which is entirely unrelated to Petrophysics - as i said my first round selection i think was random). Also I was asked to comment on a geological formation (I had only one geology field trip in my masters).
The interviewer (a geologist) said, he thinks I did very well in geological interpretation considering my background in Geology. Another interviewer I think was not so impressed.
Finally after making me wait for two months, they sent me a standard rejection letter. I was extremely surprised as I had thought I did well.
A suggestion to International students pursuing Geology-Petrophysics-Geophysics, DO APPLY FOR PETROPHYSICIST POSITION in the future in BP, as they are always running short of Petrophysicist.
As I got to know from other friends, pay is awesome, near around 100,000 dollars. If you like well-logging and seismic interpretation, this is the place to be in.

I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Presentation.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Houston, TX (took 2 days)
The interview consisted of a two day group and personal interview. The first day Sunday, BP flew down about 15 prospective interns. They had a 4 course meal type interview with a recruiter and 3 other candidates at the table. It was very casual. Day 2 consisted of an all day interview. 1 hour personal and behavioral interview and an hour technical case study interview about finance situations. We were then taken on a tour of their campus for an hour, and given a presentation for an hour. It was then followed by another 3 course meal for lunch and we were sent back to the airport. Dress professional even though they suggest casual.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Houston, TX (took a day)
Basic interview questions and resume run through. Favorite class, least favorite class, study abroad experience and language abilities. Later, a behavioral run through about working in groups, ethical dilemmas. Finally, a skills-based question about fluid dynamics and building a pipeline to a reservoir at the coast.
The interviewer was very nice at first but then tried to fluster me during the skills interview. Be ready for them to be confrontational.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Houston, TX (took a day)
There were general questions at the beginning, such as "Tell me about yourself?" and it was quite conversational for the first 15 minutes. Then we moved on to behavioral questions and final there was a technical component where I had to analyze a chemical engineering related problem. The whole interview process lasted a while, about an hour and 10 minutes.

Met with company at career fair and info session before interview. My interviewer seemed distracted and uninterested throughout the process. Interview was behavioral for the first part with a technical question for the second part.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Houston, TX (took a day)
They had an info session on campus, and then I submitted my resume to them through our career center at school. You HAVE to go to their website and apply online otherwise you cannot interview with them. The online application took a while, it had about 3 short answer essays. My interview was from an actual engineer with no personality skills. He basically read from the questions and did not offer any feedback. I will not judge BP from this though because I think it is just this interviewers personality. Also, he asked me a technical question: How many volts do you think it takes to power an offshore rig.
