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.
