Taking a picture of participants and Mr. Prof. R.P. Koesoemadinata

At the beginning, Mr. Prof. R.P. Koesoemadinata explained us about type of the basin. Basin divided into four category. There is Physiographic Basin, Structural Basin, Sedimentary Basin, Petroleum Basin. Mr. Prof. R.P. Koesoemadinata also explained about the differences between each of the type of basin. In Indonesia there are sixty basins but not all of the basin content of petroleum because all basin only viewed from physiographic side. The lecture take a break for lunch and praying time.

Mr. Prof. R.P. Koesoemadinata explained about plate tectonic concept and Sedimentary basin

After break time, lecture was continued to the 2nd session. Mr.Prof. R . P. Koesoemadinata explained about The Concept of Tectonic Plate and Basin Evaluation.

Sedimentary basin have characteristic ,the most important feature of a sedimentary basin is the depositional interface which during certain time intervals is partly or entirely above or below sea-level and the sedimentary basin also can be partly or entirely involved in tectonic activity, such as folding, faulting and uplift to form a mountain range. A sedimentary basin does not necessarily have the shape of a geomorphologic basin, it could be a slope (clinoform) but is typically characterized by tectonic subsidence relative to its surrounding area. The basin margin is characterized by the wedge-out of sedimentary strata. In general a sedimentary basin is a tectonic feature.

Sedimentary basin where petroleum has been generated and accumulated in economic quantities not all sedimentary basin is capable of generating petroleum called Petroleum Basin. In general a petroleum basin is also a coal basin, but not all petroleum basins are coal basins and vice versa.

About hydrocarbon potential , only sedimentary basin with sufficient sedimen thickness, with an excess 2000 meter thickness. But, however thickness only doesn’t guarantee the generation of hydrocarbons.

All of participant stared at Mr. Koesoemadinata’s explanation

To understand what the sedimentary basin that explain above, we should know the Plate Tectonics. But, unfortunately almost people misunderstood about the difference of Plate and Crust. Plates is a rheological concept of a rigid outer sphere of the earth~ the lithosphere. And the other side, Crust is a mineralogical concept of the outer part of the earth and consists of: Continental Crust (granitic, formerly called sial) and Oceanic Crust (basaltic, formerly called sima).
Several basin classification based on Plate Tectonic have been proposed as:

• INTRA-CRATONIC/CONTINENTAL BASINS
  • Stable
  • Divergence (extensional)
  • Convergence (compressional)
  • Transvergence (trans-tensional)
• CONTINENTAL MARGIN BASINS
  • Active continental margins (convergence/transvergence)
  • Passive continental margins (divergence/stable)
• OCEANIC BASINS
  • Stable Oceanic Basins
  • Diverging Oceanic Basin
  • Converging Oceanic Basins
  • Transvergin Oceanic Basins

CONCLUSIONS

• Usage of the term basin is confusing (a mixture of physiographic, sedimentary and structural basins)
• To have a hydrocarbon potential outlining Indonesian basin map should be based on the occurrence of sediment thickness.
• Usage of the term basin, subbasins, troughs, lows is not consistent
• Indonesian basins are composite or poly-basins
• For composite basins the term basinal areas is suggested
• Whenever possible the term basin should be restricted to a single basin type according to plate-tectonic classification.

In the end of this lecture, the activity leader of Student Chapter AAPG Padjadjaran University gave an appreciation for Mr. Prof. R.P. Koesoemadinata support, energy, enthusiasm toward student development, by giving the memento. And then took a picture together in front of faculty.

First Day

Firstly, the conference was started by speech from President UNPAD SC & ITB SC as the host of this great event. Continued by Mr. Hendarmawan, Dean Faculty of Geology, UNPAD, Mrs. Qivayanti as Head of Oversight Committee of Indonesian SC of AAPG, and opening remark by Mr. Howard Smith as SEAPEX representative. Then, we entered to an Icebreaker.

After that, Mr. Howard Smith explained about “The Importance of Joining in Professional Organization”. SEAPEX is one of Professional Organization. SEAPEX is a non profit organization with an objective to provide a social forum to advance the science of Geology and Earth Sciences, with emphasis on petroleum and natural gas exploration, development and production in Southeast Asia. Joining a professional organization provides us the opportunity to peers, share idea and techniques, share of technical information, and continue our education (training).

In the second session, Mr. Geovani shared about “Indonesian AAPG Student Chapter especially about the history, vision and mission”. Activity Summary 2007-2008 Report also explained, Mr. Geovani said that the record activity of Asia Pasific AAPG Student Chapter has a good report, due to several activities that had been conducted.

In the third session, Mr. Awang H. Satyana explained about “A call to Write Geoscience Papers and Present It”. Mr Awang said write well is difficult, but how important it is that scientist should write. Why we should write? Because writing helps us to learn, writing helps us to differ, writing helps us to communicate our ideas, and writing makes us science progress. At the end of Mr. Awang’s lecture, committee of SEAPEX gave a memento.
In the coffee break, agenda was continued by presentation of poster contest. The winners of poster contest will be honored to participate at SEAPEX Conference in Singapore. The winners were:

1. 1st Winner : Hikmadhan Gultaf (ITM SC)
2. 2nd Winner : Revy Zeviana Arsyi (Trisakti SC)
3. 3rd Winner : Rani Evelyn Sianipar (UGM SC)

Well, CONGRATULATION for the Winners!

On the evening, Prof. Koesoemadinata taught us about the “Recent Trends in Geological Sciences”. In this session appropriate to discuss what happened to geology during his 50 years career as a geologist. Prof. Koesoemadinata said he has witnesses a tremendous advancement in the Geosciences and present day geologists have sophisticated high technology tools for their work. Then, we gave a memento to Prof. Koesoemadinata and took a picture together with Prof. Koesoemadinata, Mr. Awang H Satyana, Mr. Howard J. Smith, OC, and all participants.

Last session, there was little sharing from Rizwan about his experience when participated in 28th AAPG Annual Leadership Day on last August in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Second Day

On the second day, we started agenda by Mrs. Qivayanti’s presentation with title “Leadership Effectiveness and Development”. She explained everything about leadership, personal effectiveness, and also personal preference type. Mrs. Qiva also asked to students about their expectation when participated in this conference.

Then, there was sharing from former president of UNPAD SC and UI SC about their experience in managing SC in their period. They were Laode Ahdyar and Damianus Fritz. They also explained about contribution of AAPG SC to their career in petroleum industry.

In the second session, Mr. Howard Smith explained about “Geoscience workflow in Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production”. He showed us Indonesia Petroleum Contract Map and explained recent opportunities for fresh graduate of G&G. There are still a lot of opportunities in G&G career. Therefore, Mr. Howard motivated students to become a qualified geoscience. At the end, we gave a memento to Mr. Howard and grateful to SEAPEX.

Mr. Howard J. Smith, OC, and All participants of 4th SEAPEX AAPG Student Leadership Conference took a picture together in front of Jatinangor Hotel, Jatinangor

After lunch and took a picture together, we continued to next session presented by Mr. Edward Syafron. We discussed about Performance Contract of SC. This is very important for all SC because it will help SC in managing their activities. Mr. Edward explained how to arrange and to consider the activity, proposal & report, function of OC, etc. Then, we divided in some groups. We were asked to share about activities in our SC and to make a PC, included of theme and budget. After finished, some groups presented their PC. From this session, we become more understand about PC itself and it is very good for next executive committee.
On the evening, Mr. Geovani talked about “The Uniqueness of AAPG Student Chapter” and “Addicted to Mediocrity”. Here, Mr. Geovani gave some suggestions to all SC concerned about publication of activity. After that, an entertainment was presented by committee in Gathering Night.

Third Day

On the third day, in the first session, Mr. Nanang Abdul Manaf explained us about “Challenges in Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production in Indonesia”. There are several activities in oil industry; finding oil, getting oil out, making oil usable, serving the customer, making improvements, making it possible.

In the second session, Mr. Stephen Scott explained about “Career in Petroleum Industry”. We as a geology student, part of us will work in the petroleum industry as a geosciences workers. It means that we must know geosciences knowledge that usually used in petroleum industry, geophysics and geology. Mr. Scott said if we would like to work in oil and gas industry we have to appropriate the job market expectation, such as we have self motivated, computer literate, well educated, team player, and good communication skill. With join the professional organization we also gain recognition in industry, meet industry leader, and the important thing is we can build our confidence.

1. INTRODUCTION TO SEISMIC SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY
Date: September 6, 2008

Before we entered to Seismic Sequence Stratigraphy, Mr. Scott gave a little review about reflection seismology. We could use Reflection seismogram as a tool in three scales, like Regional, Sub-Regional, and Local. From Regional we could use it to interpret all of region (mega), Sub-Regional for individual basin (like Basin Geometry), and Local to interpret structure.

Seismic Sequence Stratigraphy reconstructs Paleogeography and Geology History. From there, we could know about Petroleum System, the geologic risk to find hydrocarbon (likes source rock, reservoir, seal rock, burial/term, trapping, and critical moment). The important thing we must know that seismic reflection couldn’t always become as stratigraphic time line, for example, in carbonate build up in clastic compacted. Sometimes we could see that the carbonate would make the layers like clastic layers.

Mr. Stephen Scott was explaining to participants

Beside that, we also learned about “seismic relation” and “seismic shapes and pattern rounded”. Seismic relation was like onlap, downlap, toplap, and erosional truncation. We used it to know and to paint the sequence (usually we use red or yellow pencil to paint it).

One of participant of lecture was presenting about her seismic section

2. SEISMIC SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY: PRINCIPLE OF SYSTEM TRACK ANALYSIS
Date: September 20, 2008

In this lecture, Mr. Scott introduced how to analyze the system track in order to interpret the sequence stratigraphy in the seismic data. Firstly, Mr. Scott gave some introduction about sequence stratigraphy. They were about sequences, parasequences, maximum flooding surfaces, sequence surfaces in seismic record data and the relationship with the change of sea level.

Mr. Scott Lecture

Mr. Scott also told which part onlap, downlap, and toplap in seismic record data. These variables were important to analyze the system track of the stratigraphy sequences in the seismic record data. The system track was built in parasequence of the stratigraphy units. And the sequences were composed by the system track itself. The sequence stratigraphy gave predictable succession of stratigraphy units which were related to reservoir, seal, and source rock of the hydrocarbon. The application to the seismic record data would be discussed more detail on the next lecture with the seismic record data that he gave in this lecture. Mr. Scott also gave us a task to interpret where the downlap, toplap, onlap are in the seismic section as our homework during Lebaran Day.

3. PRINCIPLE OF SEISMIC SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY-PART II
Date: October 18, 2008

After holiday “Idul Fitri”, Mr. Stephen Scott continued our lecture by explaining about Principle of Seismic Sequence Stratigraphy. We started the lecture from analysis the Systems Tracts, and also we were showed about Exxon Method of Systems Tracts. The systems tracts were like low stand systems tract, high stand systems tract, transgressive system tract, and the other. After that, our lecture did more practice with seismic.

Mr. Scott was explaining the seismic line to the students

From seismic, we learned again about Geometry of sequence and stratigraphy relation. We practice it from three seismic data which Mr. Scott gave to us. After that, we tried to interpret the seismic section by our self, and Mr. Scott walked away to look our work. He said if we want to interpret the seismic we should do it firstly from the bottom line.

From our seismic section, Mr. Scott explained about one of sequence pattern, namely progradation. In pattern of progradation, we could get an imagination that area has a rainy season. So, the depositional would be in river. That’s a little interpretation about our seismic line.

After we practiced the seismic, he explained again the petroleum system elements. But, he just explained it a little, and he promised to us that he would explain more about that on the next lecture.

UNSRI SC AAPG

INTRODUCTION

First of all, we would like to praise God the almighty for enabling University of Sriwijaya Student Chapter of American Association of Petroleum Geologists (UNSRI SC of AAPG) to submit the Mid Year Report 2008 on our activities program in this year.

As the AAPG main purpose that the student chapter organizations to help students for enriching knowledge and skill on exploration oil and gas. UNSRI Student Chapter is one of twelve Student Chapters in Indonesia and all activities sponsored by AAPG. This report will present our activities from January to June 2008 and the latest conditions of UNSRI Student Chapter.

During the mid year of 2008 A lots of challenges made UNSRI-SC difficult to find the target of the programs. Aside from challenges associated with the efforts to hold the activities as achieve the set target. It was also encountered operational problems, such as inviting speaker.

The topics are discussed here are related to memberships, committee chairs, and Student Chapter’s problem. The report will also give preview our lates activities from January to June 2008. The activities are:

1. Regeneration of executive committee officers.
2. Three days short course about SubSurface Mapping

Lunch together with Mr. Peter J McCabe, UNPAD SC and ITB SC

The first lecture was about “Deltaic Systems and Super-Systems – Controls on Petroleum Accumulation”. But firstly, Mr. McCabe told about AAPG. He explained about development of AAPG members. After finished it, Mr. McCabe started to explain the lecture. He explained that many of the major accumulations of petroleum in the world occur in strata that are broadly termed “deltaic”. In reality these thick wedges of strata represent accumulation of sediment over tens of millions of years and contain strata deposited in a range of environments that may vary from terrestrial to abyssal plain. These deltaic wedges can be self-contained petroleum systems, containing both rich source rocks and excellent reservoir rocks. Then, major long term controls are tectonic setting, rate sediment supply, and climatic regime. These controls would determine evolution of delta. From his explanation, we got a conclusion that the present is not the key to the past anymore.

Mr. McCabe explained the material

After break, we continued to second topic, namely “Distribution of The World’s Oil and Gas Source Rocks in Space and Time – Perspectives for Exploration in Frontier Basins”. Here, Mr. McCabe explained about some conditions of source rock’s accumulation, controls on source rock distribution, and tectonic control for source rock accumulation. And speaking about frontier basin, the challenge for geologist is they must “think out of box”.

At the end lecture, we gave Mr. McCabe a memento and then took a picture together in front of faculty.

In the first day, student exhibitors began to prepare the AAPG Booth. There were five students exhibitor, namely from UNPAD SC, UNHAS SC, ITB SC, USAKTI SC, and UI SC. They were the winner of International Outstanding SC. And, there are two additional students exhibitor from University of Malaya.

Some activities in AAPG Booth

At AAPG Booth, student exhibitors had a duty to explain their SC Activities to visitors. Then, they also gave some souvenirs and held a recruitment new member for professional.

In the second day, OC had a short meeting between AAPG Student Members and Top People in AAPG and SEAPEX. They were Mr. John Kaldi, Mr. Peter Baillie, and Mr. Louis Rothenberg as the main speakers in this meeting.

From left to right: Mr. Louis Rothenberg, Mr. Peter Baillie, and Mr. John Kaldi

Firstly, Mr. Geovani opened the meeting. Secondly, Mr. Peter Baillie started as the first speaker. He is treasurer of AAPG Asia-Pasific. Generally, Mr. Baillie told about an overview of AAPG, namely its history, development, and expectation to the future. Then, Mr. John Kaldi came as the second speaker. He is Professor on Adelaide University and also became as speaker in IPA course. Mr. John Kaldi explained that student chapter was one way to know about petroleum industry much more again. So, SC was like the facilitator for students. Next speaker was Mr. Louis Rothenberg. He is President of SEAPEX. The last speakers were Mr. Dharmawan Samsu and Mrs. Qivayanti as representative of Indonesia OC.

After that, there was session of question. This session was used well by student members to ask anything about AAPG. In the end meeting, we took a picture together.

In the last day, we followed the closing ceremony of IPA 32nd Convention and Exhibition. Then, there was a giving achievement for UNPAD SC as the International Outstanding Student Chapter 2007 from Mr. Geovani C Kaeng (AAPG Asia Pasific – SC Affairs Coordinator). This is as a prize for their great activities for last one year period. Besides got $1000 prize, President UNPAD SC is also invited to attend AAPG Annual Leadership Days in Tulsa, Oklahoma on August 22-24, 2008. In the other side, UNPAD SC of AAPG is the Host for SEAPEX Leadership Conference 2008 on November later.
