  • As I conclude my graduate degree, participating in the IBA stands out as the pivotal and defining moment of my entire college experience. It was a phenomenal opportunity to integrate the conceptual classwork lessons into a true to life scenario. One of my specific tasks was to reconstruct the depositional systems of reservoir and seal facies from well logs. I first devoted my energy to learning how to use various log suites. Then, based on recognizable log signatures, I could constrain reservoir intervals with varying degrees of certainty. Since participating in the IBA, I continue to benefit from the experience. During the subsequent summer, I was jumpstarted into my internship within an exploration group. I felt comfortable and confident in my abilities, interpretations, and presentation skills. My project had direct impact on the company, and I can trace much of my success during the internship to the technical, teamwork, and networking skills that I developed during the IBA. I believe in this program because I know what it has done for me, and I encourage everyone to participate in it.
