  • The IBA experience was so rewarding. It made me learn how to work well in a team under high pressure conditions. My team and I were able to do the hard work and put in the long hours that are required for IBA, and we came out with such a deep bond. It gave me such a unique and worthwhile opportunity to put the entirety of my geologic knowledge to the test. I gained a vast amount of knowledge during the relatively short course of the competition. I now have a much better understanding of every facet of petroleum geology and am even more fascinated with the industry than I was before entering the competition. This competition is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of the petroleum industry and the geologic processes and principles that are needed to be successful in it. I will always value the time I spent on IBA, the new connections I made through it, and the astronomical amount of geology I learned during the competition.
