MESSAGE

ear fellow SPE Java Indonesia Section members,

The most popular page in our newsletter is an executive interview. This was proved by doubling the printing quantity of
January 2009 edition depicting interview with Prof Purnomo Yusgiantoro PhD Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources
distributed at IPA Convention last month. Most executive interviews are loved by the readers because it is inspiring. The readers
learn human tales of how they came to be where they are, and find unearth secret talent that nobody knew about. Prof Widjajono
Partowidagdo PhD of National Energy Council (DEN) who is also an ITB lecturer permitted us to publish his profile in this issue.
Reprint of selected interview issued in SPE Java Newsletter and translation of Energy4Me published by SPE International are also
being worked out.
In Luncheon Talk on 19th May 2009 it was presented Well Control case History by Wayne Stennes (Boots & Boots) and on
23rd June 2009 Advances on Tubular Handling Systems by Aaron Sinnott (Weatherford). Meanwhile Technical Discussion Group
(TDG) of Piper Alpha Disaster - Some Lessons Learned would be held on June 25th and facilitated by Hardi Setiawan (Nirvana
Energy) and Animan Inoue (DuPont)..
Our willingness to help students and Young Professionals (YP) is evident through student chapters and very generous scholarship
program as no better place to spend energy and money other than on the youth of today. Our YP team, Tito Perdana will be a SPE
Program Committee for YP Workshop on 1-5 Nov 2009 in Xian China. SPE Java Scholarship Program 2008-2009 gives to 25
students and it was paid for by our most successful fundraisers e.g. Shrimp Boil Party, Barbeque Night and Golf Tournament. Apart
from above, Cynthia Noviani (Univ. Indonesia) and Dyah Kumalasari (Univ. Pembangunan Nasional Yogyakarta) were selected from
34 SPE Regional & Fellowship candidates. We congratulate them and the committee i.e. Teddy Komaroedin and Monas Purba. It
shows that selection process is working great and shows Indonesian higher education quality, especially petroleum discipline, is up
to the international par.
In Asia Pacific Oil & Gas Conference and Exhibition (APOGCE) and Asia Pacific Health, Safety, Security and Environment Conference
and Exhibition (APHSSEC) with the theme of Leading the Energy Challenges with Care and Responsibility, SPE Java Section will
conduct Petrobowl competition among Asia Pacific Students on 4-6 August 2009 at Jakarta Convention Centre. Petrobowl was
approved on 5 Feb 2009 by APOGCE Conduct Committee and will be financed by SPE Java (reported during APOGCE Conduct
Committee meeting on 4 June 2009)
In conjunction with APOGCE and APHSSEC we are pleased to welcome Dr Leo Roodhart President SPE International who will
give talk at UPN Yogyakarta on 30th July 2009. He will also deliver Keynote Speech at YP Workshop on 3rd August 2009 at
10.30 hrs and Remarks in Asia Pacific Regional Section Officers Conference in the same day at 15.15 hrs. With Dr Leo Rodhart
attendance we will conduct Appreciation Dinner and 30th Year Celebration of SPE Java Section on 6th August 2009 (venue will
be communicated later).
On 25th June 2009, I officially end my tenure as SPE Java Section Chairman, although
my endeavour will expectedly continue as I love giving hand to professional associations
like SPE in the future. Many thanks indeed to Board, Committee, all members and each
one who supports me to animate 2008-2009 SPE Java Program and forgive me for all
inconveniences. I believe our next chairman, Pak John D. Stenson of ExxonMobil Indonesia
will take a lead SPE mission better achievement i.e. to collect, disseminate, and exchange
technical knowledge concerning the exploration, development and production of oil
and gas resources, and related technologies for the public benefit; and to provide
opportunities for professionals to enhance their technical and professional
competence.
Have a nice celebration of 30th Anniversary for SPE Java Section which geared
up for the next 30 years. Have a summer holiday. Thank you and all the best.

Deden Supriyatman (deden.supriyatman@total.com)

Chairman of SPE Java Indonesia Section 2008-2009
3 . SPE News . Jun 2009

he special Interview with Prof. Widjajono Partowidagdo was conducted on 12 May 2009 after
he shared his views in the SPE Java Sections monthly Technical Discussion Group (TDG). His
talk covered the latest energy outlook, in which the world today consumes 230 MMBOEPD,
with oil and gas supplying 60%, coal supplying 20%, and nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar supplying
the remaining 20%. By 2020, worldwide energy demand is expected to increase to 285 MMBOEPD
with 80% of the growth in developing countries. This is a daunting task for oil and gas authorities,
companies and professionals, because 15 years is a relatively short period in our business.
His talk in our TDG challenged the techno-economical sustainability of Presidential Decree
No.5/2006, which targets a 17% contribution of renewable energy in Indonesias energy mix by 2025,
whilst the contribution of natural gas has been assigned to rise from 27% to 31% and coal is assigned
to rise from 14% to 33%. This decree seems to ignore our non-renewable energy deliverability and
scarcity limits.
In this simple and human interest interview, the SPE Java Section Board & Committee were
represented by Deden Supriyatman (Chairman), Prijo Hutomo (TDGs Leader), Yani Siskartika
(Committee Member), Dian N. Cahyono (Committee Member), Megawaty (Section Officer). Deden
Supriyatman commenced the interview as follows:
SPE: Prof. Widjajono, thank so much for your time. SPE highly appreciates your presentation of
Sustainable Energy in our TDG program, which is one of SPE Javas favorite programs. Firstly, can
you tell us the reason why you pursued a Petroleum Engineering degree from ITB in Bandung?

Prof Widjajono Partowidagdo (WP): At first, I planned to apply for Chemical Engineering and Pharmacy
because I loved chemistry. However, after reading a student guide book, published by Student Body
of ITB, I changed my choices to Petroleum Engineering (PE) and Chemical Engineering. I saw a
picture of Pertaminas car and I read that it was easy to get scholarship in Petroleum Engineering.
SPE: You earned your post graduate degrees in the USA. Can you tell us about it briefly?
WP: After graduating from PE, I won a Caltex scholarship which enabled me to pursue a Masters
degree in Petroleum Engineering in one year. Afterwards, I received scholarship from US AID (
Agency for International Development) to pursue other two Master degrees in Operations Research
and Economics at the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, USA. Later, from the
same university, I earned a PhD with dissertation on An Oil and Gas Supply and Economics Model
4 . SPE News . Jun 2009

for Indonesia.
SPE: You are busy as an ITB faculty member, and yet you are still have energy to be involved in other
public institutions. It seems that you do not have a time constraint.
WP: I believe the best way to be useful and to benefit myself and others is to give and to share. If you
want to double your happiness, share it. Teaching and involvement in public service are two forms
of sharing. Apart from these, I follow the principle that teaching and writing are the best methods to
learn, so along the way I am continuously learning whilst doing.
SPE: Tell us about your family, how many children do you have? How you manage a life balance?
WP (smiling): I have one daughter and one wife. Well, in brief, we have to manage life in a
comprehensive manner among our work, family, friends and society. Prof. Widjajono then showed
his most recent picture in Tanzania where he supported a mountain-climbing campaign to fund lupus
disease awareness.

SPE: Generally what pillars, do you think are needed to improve welfare in our country?
WP: To the best of my knowledge there are four pillars which are able to improve our countrys
welfare. The first is clean government officials who are just and professional. The second is prominent
academicians who tell the truth based on their knowledge. The third is rich people assisting their
poor fellow citizens. The fourth is common people who are patient, working and learning hard, and
trying to be independent. These pillars have to be integrated with proper coordination, synergy and
cooperation. Also, a good country is one that dares to learn from mistakes made by its leaders and
its people and by leaders and people in other countries. We are learning to be better. Actually if we
improve our habits and remember our faults from the past, we will develop sustainability.
SPE: Could you share your opinion about the role of professional associations?
WP: The most important role of professional associations is to serve their main stakeholders: their
members on technical and non-technical aspects, and the authorities to improve industry by proposing
best practices such as simplifying bureaucracy.
SPE: Would you please tell us why you were selected to be a member of the National Energy Council
(Dewan Energi Nasional, DEN)?
WP: To be a member of DEN, one has to be selected by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources
plus the House of Representatives (DPR). Before that, we were tested comprehensively through
some physical tests, a psycho test, an English test, some paper tests and verbal interviews. There
5 . SPE News . Jun 2009

were more than 120 persons tested and finally 8 (eight) persons were accepted including myself.
Perhaps because I am a lecturer I could clearly describe what the Examiners wanted to know.
SPE: Could you give a simple example to implement energy sustainability?

WP: I am ridding buses or using mass-public transports more than ridding my own cars. Well, one
way to conserve energy is to prioritie energy usage to public transport. I believe that if people are
aware of this then our country will save a lot of energy. Private cars consume a lot of subsidized
energy. Also, one must always campaign the use of our alternative and renewable energy such as
geothermal and Coal Bed Methane (CBM). Increasing government take on coal (by adding depletion
premium) to pay for increased health care costs associated with mining coal and breathing polluted
air, the costs of acid rain and climate disruption in Sumatra and Java would encourage investment
in clean, renewable and sustainable energy sources such as geothermal, biofuel, microhydro, wind
and solar.
SPE: The world is presently experiencing a financial crisis, that also impacts our country. You as a
petroleum economist and many prominent economists often refer to Mr. Adam Smith. What is your
comment on his theory on market economy?
WP: Adam Smiths theory is valid, provided one applies both the self-restraint and self-interest parts.
Currently a lot of countries apply the self-interest part but not the self-restraint part, which leads to
imbalance and economical crisis. Self-interest means obtaining maximum results for himself, and to
get optimum results we have to consider restraint. The restraint is sharing what we get with others.
If we wish that God loves us, we have to love His creatures. Sustainable business is not maximizing
profit, it is maximizing value for all stakeholders: individual, society and environment.
SPE: What can we do to improve academic life and education in country?
WP: Collect more funds to properly support the education of our people. The Meiji restoration in Japan
was the restoration of education. They replaced Japanese education system to memorize with
American education system to understand. However, after the strong influence of American way of
life to Japanese society as seen in The Last Samurai, the Samurai rebelled. After the Samurais were
killed by Kaisars army backed by Americans modern weapons, the Kaisar regretted and said: We
are pursuing modernization but we must not forget who we are and where we come from. Japanese
adopted academic and scientific life from the West while preserving their own traditions and cultures.
Japan progressed whilst retaining their own traditions. We can do the same in Indonesia.
SPE: Talking about the depletion premium from oil and gas, where should we allocate the funds?

6 . SPE News . Jun 2009

WP: We should allocate the funds to: 1. attract investors by providing better information for exploration
in oil, gas, geothermal and CBM. 2. develop National Ability (Companies, Education and Research) in
both non renewable and renewable energies. 3. develop infrastructures to support energy development.
4. subsidize public transportation. 5. educate people for efficient energy utilization. We know that
people need to use mass transport to minimize the consumption of energy and pollution.

SPE: What can SPE do to support the work of National Energy Council, DEN?
WP: Contribute to DEN or government case studies and lessons-learnt, with proposal of best practices.
The SPE can also support researchers to acquire practical knowledge necessary to better contribute
to public welfare and energy sustainability.
SPE: How do we increase oil production in our country?
WP: The Government must increase the quality of investment climate in Indonesia by minimizing
corruption, increase the coordination among executive and legislative, among central and local
governments, among departments and increase the quality of regulations and bureaucracy. 2. BP
MIGAS must simplify bureaucracy. It is getting better by hiring ex-employees from KKKS Companies
who have experience in international petroleum business and by having representatives in KKKS
companies. 3. The quality of communications between Directorate General MIGAS, BP MIGAS, KKKS
need to be improved. The P3M (Supervising for increasing production) Team needs to approach The
Government and KKKS to identify problems and solve them together.

ear Members;
SPE Java proposed 6 candidates for Undergraduate Program Scholarship. They are coming
from 5 Universities in Indonesia.
Out of 34 Undergraduate candidates, 2 scholarship recipients are from SPE Java (1st and 2nd
rank). CONGRATULATIONS to both Cynthia and Indriani!
On bigger picture, this news shows the quality of higher education in Indonesia, especially in the
area of Petroleum Engineering, is up to the par internationally.
Below are their comments and feelings after being selected as winners, hope you enjoy reading
them.

SPE Regional Star Scholarship

Congratulations, you are one of the SPE Global Scholarship recipients, told scholarship
committee. Oh my Gosh, in my mind, I cannot believe it because the others have strong
points in academic record and other achievements. It is really unbelievable experience. I
should thank God and all of the committees for this fantastic opportunity.
My name is Indriani Dyah Kumalasari, but my friends call me Mala. I am a Petroleum
Engineering student of Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Yogyakarta batch
2005. I got SPE Scholarship for two periods and it had really helped me with my tuition fee
and all of my needs. By this chance, I expect to continue my study to the master degree and
dedicate my knowledge and ability to Petroleum World.
I joined SPE since 2006. Since the first year joining, I got a lot of great experiences. Becoming
board of SPE made me know how to conduct an event, work
in a team, manage my time and be more ready to face a real
world by always practicing our soft skills such as leadership,
team work etc. The best experience that I have ever been in
SPE was when I got the opportunity to become the participant
of International Petroleum Technology Conference 2008 in
Kuala Lumpur. At that time, I met with others SPEs Student
Chapter from other countries, we discussed in groups to solve a problem given beforehand.
Then, the result would be presented in front of the judge and the other groups. This was my
best experience because I could feel a real world through meeting with friends from different
countries, discussed about our future energy, made networking with companies, got more
issues or knowledge about Petroleum World and much much more amazing things that I could
hardly explain. The important value I got from this event; it is important for us to develop our
skill (such as communication skill, leadership, team work) by joining and optimizing totally all
of facilities or activities in SPE. It will absolutely be useful in our future career.
In conclusion, if we are totally serious in all activities that conducted by every Student Chapter,
I believe SPE will give us more and more benefits. So, being SPE board member will give
you memorable experiences. Believe it and prove it.
Once again, thank you to SPE for giving me the best and great moment in my life.
Regards,
Indriani Dyah Kumalasari

ach year, SPE awards 15 scholarships valued at USD 5,000/year, renewable yearly, for
up to four years and 15 fellowships valued at USD 10,000/year, renewable yearly, for up
to four years. Ideally, one or more scholarships and fellowships will be awarded annually
per SPE region. As the number of SPE regions changes adjustments to this program will be made.
Regions may customize the number and value of the scholarships and fellowships.
Each year, Regional Directors will assemble a Regional Scholarship Committee. The composition
of the Regional Scholarship Committee is to be determined by the Regional Director with the
goal of broad representation from the region. For example, the committee could consist of
representatives from each section within the region or faculty advisors from each student chapter
within the region. The Regional Scholarship Committee operates as the selection committee. The
Regional Scholarship Committee can customize the SPE application template and general criteria
for their region.
The program aims to support a student through a maximum of four years of university study,
provided that they make satisfactory academic progress. Students automatically rotate off the
program after graduation or 4 years which ever comes first. The SPE Scholarships are awarded
to the most deserving candidate from the applications received as determined by the Regional
Scholarship Committee.
I was selected as one of the candidates from
Indonesia to compete with other students from other
countries in this region this year for 2009 SPE New
Student Scholarships. This is for Southern Asia
Pacific region, so the competition will not only among
Indonesians but also with other students from other
countries in the same region. Fortunately, Ive been
chosen to receive this scholarship with two others
students, one from Indonesia and one from Australia,
from 34 candidates. Its really an honour for me.
Thank you SPE

PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE
by
Dr. Leo Roodhart
2009 SPE President
Abstract:
PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE
The world of energy as we know it, is changing rapidly. New sources
of energy are coming, such as biofuels, solar power and wind. Also,
nuclear energy may see a revival. The hydrocarbon world is also
changing. National oil companies are becoming global players; the
large international oil companies are pushing technology boundaries
by exploring high-tech options such as ultra deep water, Arctic, shale
oil, tar sands and possibly hydrates. The service companies from
the past have developed into advanced technology providers. This
means that the skills set required for a young professional to join the
industry is also changing. A bachelors degree from Texas A&M or
Delft University in petroleum engineering may no longer be sufficient
to be able to tackle the enormous challenges our Industry is facing.
A professional society like the Society of Petroleum Engineers
(SPE) can fulfill a key role here. Professional societies supply a
forum for like-minded individuals in which an exchange of ideas and
information can take place. Joining a professional society such as
SPE is beneficial for engineers, geologists, and other professionals
throughout their entire careers.
Besides keeping up with emerging technology, professional
societies offer members the opportunity to establish contacts with
other operating and service companies with whom they can share
experiences and seek advice, not to mention building friendships
with people who share common goals, concerns, and perspectives.
Professional societies contain a veritable wealth of information
available through conferences, meetings, online, publications, and
presentations.
Members may also publish papers to establish individual reputation
and to stimulate discussion on topics of importance to the industry.
Bottom line, professional societies allow members to excel in their
performance and optimize profits for their employers and clients,
making membership a win-win situation for everyone.
SPE is the largest oil and gas-related society and growing rapidly
on a global scale. With over 80,000 members worldwide, with more
than 50% outside the U.S., SPE is the E&P industrys powerhouse
of knowledge.
SPEs long-range plan, which is redrawn every five years, was
completed two years ago. The plan is based on projections that by
2030, worldwide energy demand will be almost 40% greater than
today. In order to achieve this growth, over $20 trillion of global
investment has been forecasted for next 20 years, of which a large
fraction will be in technology development. Also, the expectation is
that 80% of world energy need until 2030 will continue to be met by
fossil fuels. Challenges were identified, such as how to attract the
best and the brightest young people to the industry and how SPE
can better adapt to local industry needs and cultures in every corner
of the world.

SPEs long-range plan can be summarized as follows:

- Grow membership in Russia, CIS/Central Asia, India and China
- Identify regional needs, language, conferences etc. and address
those needs
-Put new technology topics on the meetings calendar:
unconventional oil/gas; carbon capture, Arctic etc.
- Help members to innovate
- Engage national oil companies
In 10-20 years time, the oil industry as we know it will not be the
same. However, SPE and its members will be ready to face the
challenge and help the industry enter a new era.
