As geophysics students, we are learning about any knowledge those may be related to the oil and gas industry nowadays. We learn about the method which is usually used in this industry. We also learn about how to collect the data from real field, how to process them, and also how to interpret them so we can know where the bright spot is. One of the most important techniques and widely used in this industry is subsurface geologic mapping. Geophysicists are expected to understand and be able to efficiently and accurately generate many types of subsurface maps. Nevertheless, many geophysicists have not had sufficient formal training in the fundamental principles and method that underlie accurately constructed subsurface maps, whether the data source is a seismic interpretation, well log correlation or both. Therefore, as a student who will work as a geophysicist of course we are also required to learn these things.

Geophysics students also have to understand the subsurface geometry, incorporating both structural and stratigraphic  framework is essential to understanding the maps development of potential reservoirs. Subsurface maps represent the cornerstone of data presentation and information transfer in oil & gas exploration & development, whether well log based, seismic based, or both. We focus here on the fundamental principles and methodologies of accurately conveying critical data and information via subsurface mapping.

The purpose of this course is to capture the geophysicist works and roles in International Oil and Gas companies and to provide the work skills of the future geophysicists. Thus, the students are expected to become qualified geophysicists.

UI Proudly to Announce 1st & 3rd Place for Ocean Schlumberger Petrel Plug-in Competition

Geophysical Team, Physics Department, Faculty of Mathematic and Natural Sciences UI succeeded in taking away 2 positions at a time, 1^st place and 3^rd place in prestigious competence in commercial software development in oil and gas industry. This final competition includes 10 teams from 5 top universities in Indonesia which has a geosciences major in the university like UI, ITB, UGM, UPN and Trisakti. They are competing against each other for a prize of 10.000 USD. The prize was given at Schlumberger witnessed by Vice Chancellor UI Mr.  Sunardji, SE, MM.

2 teams from UI under supervisor of Dr. rer. nat Abdul Haris (reservoir Geophysics Lecturer, Faculty of Mathematic and Natural Sciences UI) presented 2 projects called “CBM Modeling for Estimating Methane Gas Reserve”  and “ Spectral Decomposition for Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator”. These 2 projects from UI could attract attention away from the judges which is a combination from experts of oil and gas industry like Chevron, Pertamina, Medco and Sclumberger itself brought in 3 direct experts from Houston, USA. This competition is a breakthrough in creating a synergy between college to build and develop oil and gas technology in Indonesia especially and in international scale in general.

2 softwares developed by UI team can give a new innovation in CBM exploration and detecting hydrocarbon content which can be either oil or gas trapped under earth’s surface, as mentioned by Dr. rer. nat abdul Haris as a team supervisor which has been supervising the 2 teams’ preparation for almost 3 months. These 2 teams from UI is a combination of Geophysics student, Faculty of Mathematic and Natural Sciences UI and also Computer Science faculty UI.
