  • Participation in the Imperial Barrel Award competition was an invaluable experience. Not only did it help to develop marketable exploration skills, but it also supplied wonderful opportunities for networking with senior geologists and recruiters within the petroleum industry. While IBA is a serious time commitment, it provides experience and training that you can't get from coursework. The skills gained through participation in this competition will be greatly beneficial as I begin my career upon graduation. Aside from the academic and career benefits, the competition was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed meeting and interacting with members of other IBA teams from around the world. It made for a fantastic AAPG Convention! I would strongly encourage anyone with an interest in entering the petroleum industry to participate in IBA. Thanks to the coordinators and judges for all of the time they put into making this event so beneficial!
