The IPRB was formed to provide public awareness and education programs and to clean up
abandoned well sites throughout the state. Funding for IPRB programs comes from voluntary
contributions of oil and natural gas producers and royalty owners in Illinois.
IPRB provides funding and expertise in the reclamation and restoration of abandoned oilfield
sites in the State of Illinois. These restoration projects fulfill another goal of IPRB which is to
restore abandoned sites previously used for oil and gas production back to commercial or
agricultural use for current land owners.
The IPRB Traveling Field Trip Exhibit is FREE to any school or special event in the State. The
Exhibit features working models of crude oil and natural gas equipment, and graphical
learning stations which students must “explore” to find energy information. Students learn
how oil and gas are formed, where and how it is found, and how it is produced and refined.
Presentations can be tailored to students of all ages, but our primary concentration is
students beginning with the 4th grade through high school.
