Waktu kuliah dulu kami ( asisten Geologi Perminyakan dan Subsurface ) mendapatkan beberapa glondong core ( ya kira-kira panjangnya 30 - 50 cm ) yang umumnya karbonat, sandstone-silt, Data seismik 2D - 3D, Composite Log beberapa lembar, Drill cutting beberapa kantong dan lembar blank form report untuk WSG /Mud logger dari sebuah Oil Company ( AS ) dan beberapa Oil Service Co. Disumbangkan secara sah untuk keperluan praktek laboratorium, belajar menganalisa core, drill cuting, FEMWD kepada mahasiswa. Tapi itu sudah 22 tahun yang lalu, tentunya model form dan analisa sudah lebih canggih sekarang ini.
Jadi saya pikir sumbangan core dan data yang sudah 'out of date' atau lapangan yang 'kering' bisa dilaksanakan melalui BPMigas atau Pertamina atau Ditjen Pertambangan kepada universitas yang ada perminyakan dan geologi atau pertambangan dan geofisika.Daripada numpuk di gudang core perusahaan jadi sarang tikus,...bagusnya disumbangkan. Kalau data log /drill cutting report bisa pula kita beli dari perusahaan provider yang resmi. Ayo,..exploration manager mana yang mau mengawali ini di Indonesia ?? Banyak KPS disini dan banyak Universitas yang ada geologi/minyak/tambanng..ada Trisakti, ITB, UPN, Unpad, UGM, UnHas, STTNas, Unsri, dll. Juga SMK Geologi-Tambang. Atau dari pihak Universtas lah yang proaktif mencari sumbangan ?? Itupun kalau memang butuh...kalau gak butuh ya..sami mawon..jadi sarang tikus juga...hehehe. ----- Original Message ----- From: Franciscus B Sinartio To: iagi-net@iagi.or.id ; Forum Himpunan Ahli Geofisika Indonesia Sent: Saturday, March 31, 2007 1:23 AM Subject: [iagi-net-l] Fw: Chevron donates 233,000 boxes of cores to university ini berita dari Amrik. kalau di Indonesia, apakah ada perusahaan yang mau menyumbangkan core atau well log atau test data atau seismik? fbs Chevron recently donated 233,000 boxes of core and well samples collected during 70 years of oil and gas exploration to the Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG) at the University of Texas at Austin. The donation included $1.5 million to the BEG's endowment to preserve the samples for future generations of geoscientists. Below are photos from the donation ceremony: Texas Railroad Commissioner at Event Chairman of the Texas Railroad Commission Elizabeth A. Jones (pictured left) was one of several Texas State dignitaries to attend the donation ceremony. Established in 1891, the Railroad Commission of Texas has several regulatory divisions that oversee the Texas oil and gas industry, natural gas utilities, pipeline and liquefied petroleum gas safety and the surface mining of coal. "It's important that the public, private and academic sectors work together to secure our energy future," Chairman Jones said. "What Chevron is doing with its once-private collection of well cores is immeasurable in aiding the next generation of geologists in their training and research for our country's own vast conventional and unconventional reserves of oil and gas." Honorary Plaque Commemorates Donation Scott Tinker, director of the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin, presents Don Paul (r), vice president and chief technology officer of Chevron and Ed Donovan (l), geoscientist at Chevron's Houston Engineering Technology Center, with an honorary plaque commemorating Chevron's donation of core samples and endowment funding. The bronzed plaque will be permanently displayed at the Bureau's Houston Research Center. "In a mature area like the United States, which has an enormous historical base of geologic information, there's the risk that many of these samples would eventually be lost," Paul said. "This donation provides real-world data and samples from around the U.S. and allows educational and training opportunities for students, researchers and industry professionals to promote scientific and technological innovation." Tinker noted that the samples may still hold secrets to undiscovered oil and gas. "Many people may look at a sample and think it is just a piece of rock," said Tinker, "but often, the sample can direct us to where oil and gas is or where it might be. So these cores can be used to train the next generation of geoscientists for future study and may lead to additional resource discovery that might not have been possible in the past." The Bureau of Economic Geology functions as a research unit of The University of Texas at Austin, the State Geological Survey and the Regional Lead Organization for the Petroleum Technology Transfer Council. The Bureau provides wide-ranging advisory, technical, informational and research-based services to industries, nonprofit organizations, and federal, state and local agencies. Ed Donovan, Chevron Houston Engineering Technology Center geologist, and a student from the Jackson School of Geosciences study some of the core samples Chevron donated to the BEG. The University of Texas at Austin and Chevron have had a long-standing relationship. The company recruits many employees from the university, and prior to this contribution, Chevron has given the university more than $38 million in gifts and research grants.
