AAPG Home : Meetings : 2008 ACE-San Antonio : Student Activities : Reception / IBA
All students and faculty attending the convention are invited to the AAPG/SEPM Student reception beginning at 6:00 p.m. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres and refreshments at the reception.
A talk given by an ExxonMobil representative is scheduled before the top three poster authors from the Shell-sponsored “Selected Academic Research Topics: Student Presentations” receive awards. The Jim Hartman Service to Students Award will be conveyed upon an AAPG member that has contributed exceptional service to AAPG’s Student Programs. The awards program will close with the presentation of the Schlumberger-sponsored Outstanding Student Chapter Awards along with the Imperial Barrel Award prizes.
The Imperial Barrel Award (IBA) competition returns to the AAPG Annual Convention. Universities from around the world, offering master’s-level degrees in petroleum geoscience, are eligible to participate in this competition. IBA provides a unique opportunity for students to gain valuable experience by participating in an exploration evaluation, presenting to a panel of senior industry experts and competing to win scholarship funding.
This group competition is a global exploration geoscience project focused on the assessment of the petroleum potential of a basin. Teams will be provided a complete data set and will have a few weeks to complete a technical assessment of the basin’s petroleum prospects. On the Friday and Saturday prior to the convention, teams will give a 30-minute presentation of their work with recommendations for future activity. A panel of industry experts will judge the technical work and presentations. The results of the competition will be announced at the Student Reception on April 21, 2008 and the top three teams will win generous cash prizes. For more information please contact:
