Imperial Barrel Award competition 2018 now open for registration

The Imperial Barrel Award is a competition for graduate geoscience students from around the world to undertake a technical assessment of the petroleum potential of a prospective basin. University teams compete to win scholarship funds for their geoscience department and the international recognition that comes from competing in or winning the competition. We hope to welcome 16 regional universities to take advantage of this unique opportunity.
