Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Overview of the role was to help developing better understanding on one of the oil reservoirs that bp operates. This was done mainly through analysing surveillance data obtained. My work was together with a team from different disciplines, so data integration between different disciplines was necessary. Daily tasks include stand-ups and collaborative sessions as a part of bp's agile working.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, was given opportunity to work on real data and participate in actual business projects, which helps to contribute values to the company.
