  • The Imperial Barrel Award is by far the best program AAPG offers to help students not only understand the oil and gas exploration industry but also to help them get the careers started in the industry. My top 2 learning experiences was the basin analysis class at ExxonMobil and the mentorship. Our SFA team got the best mentors in the world (I'm not exaggerating). Jim Ferry (Anadarko) and Tom Bulling (BP) did an extraordinary job helping our team understand how to use the data sets we were given to understand our area and come up with good prospects while staying within the guidelines of the competition. The 2011 AAPG IBA is over and the team still keeps in close contact with our mentors. I personally am getting good information on job opportunities and good advise on my graduate thesis. I conclusion, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the mentors, the IBA program coordinators and those in charge of running the AAPG. I would also like to encourage more schools to take part in the program... you would be surprised at how much you would get from it.
