  • Participating in the IBA competition was such a uniquely challenging and exciting experience and I would encourage anyone who is considering a career in the energy industry to pursue this opportunity. The first step of organizing and assembling UK's first IBA team was a challenge in itself. We started as relatively inexperienced team with minimal petroleum-specific training and education. Fortunately, we were surrounded by academic and industry mentors who supported and encouraged us through the entire process. By the end of the competition, the five of us were comfortable and confident in our new skills and abilities as petroleum geoscientists. Through the support of AAPG and its sponsors, we were provided access to industry-leading software and data that we would otherwise not have access too. Having such an extensive dataset and a limited amount of time required us to not only fully understand the components of petroleum systems, but also be able to interpret them and collaborate as a team, creating goals and assigning tasks based on the assessed strengths of each individual. The competition is an intensive exercise that allows students to experience the processes involved in petroleum exploration in a more tangible way than the classroom can facilitate. This program has provided an excellent jump-start to my career in the industry and I am proud to say that I played a role in initiating participation in the program at the University of Kentucky.
