Background Manajemen aset hulu migas merupakan aspek strategis yang menentukan keberhasilan pengelolaan sumber daya energi nasional. Dalam konteks global yang terus berubah—mulai dari fluktuasi harga minyak, perubahan kebijakan energi, hingga transisi menuju energi bersih—para profesional di sektor hulu dituntut untuk memahami dinamika industri, filosofi kontrak kerja sama, serta tata kelola migas yang baik. Pemahaman yang…

BACKGROUND Process Safety Management (PSM) atau Manajemen Keselamatan Proses (MKP) dilaksanakan oleh perusahaan-perusahaan atau industri kimia/ petro-chemical, minyak & gas bumi (migas) setelah beberapa kejadian fatal yang telah banyak menelan korban jiwa dan harta benda seperti kasus Flixborough (Juni 1974), Seveso (Juli 1976), Bhopal (Desember 1984), Piper Alpha (Juli 1988), dan lain sebagainya . Dalam…

Background: Stuck pipe is one of the most critical and costly problems in drilling operations across the Oil & Gas and Geothermal industries. With more complex well trajectories, smaller hole sizes, and an industry push to “drill to the limit,” the risk of stuck pipe incidents has grown significantly. Although rigs are now supported by…

BACKGROUND: In oil & gas production, sand production remains a critical issue can significantly impact equipment integrity, production efficiency, & overall operational safety. If not properly managed, produced sand can lead to severe erosion of equipment, flow restrictions, & even complete system failures. Hence, effective sand control management is essential to ensuring long-term well productivity…

Background: Marginal fields development refers to discoveries which have not been exploited for long, due to one or more of the following factors: • Very small sizes of reserves/pool to the extent of not being economically viable • Lack of infrastructure in the vicinity and profitable consumers • Prohibitive development costs, fiscal levies and or…

Background: Integrated Reservoir Management (IRM) is a structured approach to maximize the value of hydrocarbon assets by combining G&G, Reservoir Engineering, Drilling, Completion, Production, and Economic considerations into a single framework. Through effective integration of data and disciplines, operators can improve recovery factors, extend field life, and optimize development plans. This is where “Integrated” play…

BACKGROUND: Understanding and calculating oil & gas reserves is a vital part of reserves and resources evaluation. Moreover, it is essential for asset management, investment decisions, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Therefore, this training provides a clear overview of reserves and resources definitions using SPE PRMS guidelines. In addition, it covers U.S. SEC regulations and Indonesian…

BACKGROUND Production and operation teams cannot directly observe how conditions change within a reservoir during production. Instead, they depend on sophisticated simulation models that transform subsurface. Therefore, reservoir simulation serves as a cornerstone for understanding reservoir performance and optimizing recovery strategies. Integrating geoscience, production data, engineers can forecast future performance under various scenarios, identify operational…

BACKGROUND: Natural gas has become an increasingly important energy source. Successful Gas Development and Commercialization demands careful integration of technical, economic, regulatory, and commercial considerations to ensure profitability and sustainability. Not only a cleaner alternative to coal and oil but also as a strategic commodity in the global energy market. Developing gas field requires a…

BACKGROUND Often in today’s dynamic oil and gas industry, not enough attention is paid to the details of wells stimulation treatments. This can result in poor and/or less than optimum results. Production and Reservoir Engineers involved in the planning, execution, evaluation & monitor well performance. They need to know more about well stimulation so can…
