  • As a participant on the University of Aberdeen team I got a chance go to San Antonio for the pre-finals in 2008. The competition gives you a good overview of the entire exploration process, allowing you to work through it with real data. You also develop some great soft skills as it is all about team work when you are working with a tight deadline. And of course there is the opportunity of presenting to the panel of industry judges. Working as an exploration geoscientist now, I can say it gave me an advantage when starting my job and it also sets you apart in recruitment process. I have seen the competition grow in subsequent years and it is a real pleasure to see what enthusiasm drives the teams. I can really recommend anyone considering a career in the upstream oil and gas business to participate. It is well worth the effort!
