==================================================

COURSE OVERVIEW

Understanding sedimentology is one of the basic requirement to a success in
oil & gas and coal exploration.  Although it is hardly noticed,
explorationists use lots of sedimentological principles and concepts in
their daily exploration activity, i.e.: describing outcrop/core,
interpreting logs and seismic, drawing reservoir maps and coal
distributions, and ultimately calculating reserves of hydrocarbons and
coals. This course is aimed to refresh the knowledge of basic sedimentology
with special reference to deltaic-fluvial setting; the environment of which
are associated with most of the Indonesian hydrocarbons and coals.

Back to basic - Look at the rock: is the basic philosophy of the course. No
matter how sophisticated the tools that help us (loggings, seismic,
interpretation software, etc), the success of exploration is still depend on
the geologist (and geology concepts) behind the tools.  Understanding
sedimentology gained from this course will hopefully recharge the
explorationist battery to keep on generating prospects (or at least new
ideas) in dealing with the materials (cuttings, core, logs, seismic) and the
tools (software's, etc).

For new recruits, this course will certainly equip them with necessary focus
on selected sedimentology knowledge to be used in the future works; while
for experience explorationists, this will refresh lots of their
understanding about sedimentology, which probably already built-in
intuitively (sometimes becomes obsolete) in their mind. This is the sixth
time that a course of this kind (classroom, outcrop and mountain resort
combination) is conducted. The previous five courses on August, October 2001
and March, September 2002 , and April 2003 had received many interests and
good comments (see: comments at the end of this letter *).

Participants can choose any hotel / accommodation in the area, but it is
suggested to choose the one where the course is conducted, i.e.: Hotel Taman
Sari, Sukabumi. While seriously charge the exploration battery during the
course, the participant (and family ?) may also refresh during the week-end
nights at this mountain resort. Of course you can also choose to go directly
to the course everyday from Jakarta (2-3 hrs drive) or Bogor (1-2 hrs
drive). The course will be a combination between classroom lecturing and
exercises, and field-outcrop description.

logs too much"...
..."I am recommended to continue the course topic
to the other geologist".
..."need continue this course, karena bagi Geoscience yang tidak
