My IBA Experience

Your Experience. Your Story. Your IBA.

The Imperial Barrel Award is more than a competition. It’s an opportunity to put knowledge into practice, work alongside peers, connect with industry professionals, and experience the challenges and rewards of solving real-world subsurface problems.

 

For more than 20 years, IBA participants and volunteers have built connections, developed skills and created experiences that stay with them long after the competition ends.

Whether you participated as a student, served as a faculty advisor or mentor, volunteered your time, judged a regional or global competition, served on the committee, provided a dataset or supported a team, your IBA experience is part of the program’s story.
