PREFACE
I would like to say thank you to Universitas Diponegoro Student Chapter of American
Association of Petroleum Geologists (Undip Sc of AAPG) for the opportunity in the case of End
Year Report. Im so proud being a part of UNDIP SC OF AAPG as a Professional Organization
could be the place for me to learn and work like a professional. Here we got many experience
about, organization that became important for us to increase our soft skill, hard skill, and
knowledge. We have learnt about petroleum especially in basic geology for petroleum case like
oil and gas exploration, production, field technical, the way to overcome oil crisis with
unconventional energy and the issues about Oil and Gas Industry around the world. We have met
many professional with diverse background as speaker in our program. In UNDIP SC OF AAPG
we learn about responsibility, communication, leadership, and teamwork to be the professional
membership for the beloved organization.
As a Head of Academic division, its my pleasure to explain all about what Academic
Division such as our work plan, its progress, what Academic Division have done and what
Academic Division havent done along this year term. Actually, Academic Division have tried to
improve academic skill for members, student volunteers, and every people around us. Our
concentration are about improving knowledge about basic geological in petroleum, Field
technique and technologies in exploration and production, English skill, Character building and
Research.
I believe we have to practice ourselves to communicate well in bahasa and English to
help us for the wider experience. We need practice our scientific skill like making the scientific
paper and more about research. So, one of the Academic Division goal is each member could
have some research examples paper, poster, journal and many more. we as Academics Division
promise to fulfill our work plan to improve our members skill.

VISION

ENGLISH TRAINING

English is an international language, spoken in many countries both as a native and as a second
or foreign language. It is taught in the schools in almost every country on this earth. It is a living
and vibrant language spoken by over 300 million people as their native language. Millions more
speak it as an additional language. As a rough estimate, 1000 million or one billion people
around the world have some knowledge of English, either as a native language, as a second
language, or as a foreign language. This fact become important for us to understand that English
capability is needed to get the wider communication with other people around the world. To face
the future we need improve our English skill like speaking, writing, reading, and of course
listening. There skills will increase our value and oportunity in Competition, Education,
Bussines, or Carrier
As student we need English to face the great future so we have a wider scale to communication
or interaction. For there reasons Universitas Diponegoro Student Chapter of American
Association of Petroleum Geologists have tried to facilitate many student in Universitas
Diponegoro for the English Training. The main goal in this program is student can improve and
practice their English Capability. For the theme or term of reference in this program is about
TOEFL. Why we took TOEFL as the theme or topic in this program? Because TOEFL is one of
many way that representative to learn about English. There are Grammar like structure, reading
narration/news/description/and many kind of text, also listening for the conversation about a
matter.
In this program we join with English Language Institute as the facilitator, they prepare a material
that macth with participants needs and give module for the guidance and test. This activity takes
place on June 14th 2014 at Gedung Pertamina Sukowati with the number of participants is 60
peoples

TOEFL TEST

TOEFL is the international standart of English capability around the world to equalize English
standart in many country as foreign language. Nowadays, English as international language is
very important to face globalization era and world wide communications. Therefore Academic
Division of Undip Sc of AAPG facilitate the member and students for TOEFL test. The goal of
this event is to help the participants (members and students) to get the score of TOEFL test to
know their capability and calculate their english skills. We have organized the participants with
TOEFL preparation before the test. After 2 days preparations, all participants will take the the
TOEFL test that organized by English Insitute : SEU. This event be held on June, 20 th 2014 at
SEU English Institute and attended by 60 participants.
This event preparation started from 11.00 am and the test started at 01.00 pm, we
organized the participants at Pertamina Sukowati Building, Geological Engineering and then we
went to SEU English Intitute together. When test go on, the participants doing some topics such
as Listening at the first test, continued with Grammar test such as structure and reading test.
TOEFL test lasts for 2 hours until 03.00 pm. After the test the participants back to Campuss and
then closing session for next instruction. The result of this test was announced 2 weeks later, and
we are glad because the final score of all participants is good enough. They are satisfied and
hoping this event will be hold again in the next time periodically. It is the evidence that UNDIP
Sc of AAPG have facilitated all participants (the students from some major) wonderfully as good
as we expected. For the next period we hope this event will be more prepared to make better
events with higher scale so we can help more people to get their TOEFL test experience.

AAPG LEARNING CLASS

AAPG LEARNING CLASS

AAPG Learning Class is an activity for members and student volunteers of Diponegoro
University of AAPG aimed at providing or facilitating all members and SVs to learn and discuss
specific topic in order to improve the competence and knowledge of the members and SVs.
These activities help us to be able to talk about a problem, issue or basic concepts of geology and
petroleum that package attractively. With hopes of exploring competence within each member
and SVs as well as providing soft skill education such as courage and confidence in discussing a
particular issue can prepare us to be better generations with large knowledge.
This event be held on September, 10th 2014 at Penyet Van Java Resto and attended by 30 person.
Concept of this event is presentation from each group. The theme of this learning class is about
petroleum system, so every group have to present their topic about every aspect in petroleum
system such as trap, reservoir rock, or source rock. Example, one team have a topic about source
rock, its mean that this team have to present all about source rock with case study in one field.
After presentation we have discussion session, every participants can give the question or answer
about related topic. After discussion we start to the next group presentation that talking about
another topic.

From this event we hope can facilitate all members and SVs about academic aspect that can be
enriched our knowledge and abilities in hard skill and soft skill. Moreover we can bounding
together, giving the suggestions and support each other. For the next time event we can organize
better even that have been develop and prepared perfectly with larger topics about energy and
future.

AAPG LEARNING SOFTWARE PETREL

PETREL is one of geology and geophysics software that used for well log
analysis and seismic modeling. Nowadays is very important to learn
geological

software

that

related

to

exploration

and

development

hydrocarbon. The software can simplify geology data to be processed and

can help geologists to interprete data mero easily, so the goal of this course
is all members UNDIP SC of AAPG can using PETREL Software to make some
modeling and to introduce members with the software that useful in oil and
gas industry.
This course conducted on November 7th 2014 by UNDIP SC of AAPG and the
speaker is Mr. Ahmad Aji Setia Praja from Geological Engineering Department
whom expert in PETREL Software. The participant is only for member UNDIP
SC of AAPG. The event take place in Pertamina Sukowati Building. The result
of this course all the participants more interest with PETREL Software and
they can make some illustrate of the modeling using subsurface data.
In this session the facilitator introduce PETREL first, what is petrel, what is
the purpose, and what is the advantages of Petrel. And then we start to
learnt about Petrel step by step, first we arranged logging data and tried to
differ sand and shale from log gamma ray, and start to interprete more with
another parameters of logging data such as density, neutron, porosity and so
on. After we learnt step by step of processing logging data, we discuss about
the prospect zone of this area that have been proceed.
From this event we tried to enriched our software skill especially about
Petrel, so we hope next time we can learn and practice about another
software. AAPG SOFTWARE LEARNING can be hold periodically to integrate
oor skills in processing geological and geophysical data.

AAPG FIELD LEARNING

AAPG Field Learning is an activity that be held outdoor, usually at geological field. The purpose
of this event are to facilitate all members and SVs about field learning, to enriched our
knowledge and field skills at the geological site directly. As geologist we need more experiences
in the field because a geologists is like the explorer of earth. We have to know the field real
conditions to understand the earth theory more. A geologist learnt much about the theories to
analyze the phenomenon in the earth, including the process, and many factors that influenced.
Example, from rock analyze we can understand how can the rock formed, where is it formed,
how old, what are process, and what was contain there. There are many things that can we know
in the field.
For the reasons we tried to organized the field learning event that be held on September, 27 th
2014 at Gedong Songo Temple, the Geo heritage in Ungaran Mountain, Semarang Central
Java. In this we found the geothermal manifestations such as fumarole, steaming ground, warm
ground, hot pool and alteration outcrop. The participants in this event are members and Svs that
amount about 25 person. In field we start with tracking to the manifestation site, the first site we
go to fumarole, we observe the manifestation and all things around such as mineralization,
geological structure that may be made the fracture to the surface, and many more. Second place
is the alteration zone that still active, we can saw the alteration process such as transformation
from rock become clay minerals. And the last session we went to the alteration zone that havent
active again, continue with discussions about the fieldtrip. In this event facilitated by mr. Tri
Omega Pahlawan and mr. Rizki Akbar Putra.
From this event we have enriched our knowledge in field directly, we hope it can help us to
understand more about geothermal manifestation and how to connected to the geothermal
system. From the outcrop of manifestations we can determinated the zone, and predict the
subsurface conditions. But to understand more we need geophysical survey for getting the
subsurface data or geochemical sample to completed the data. In the next event we hope that can
go to other place to explore more about geological field.

AAPG DEBATE CLASS

AAPG Debate Class is the event that be held on November, 28 th 2014 with 25 participants
attended. This event is the breakthrough from academic division to explore more the skills and
knowledge of members and SVs. Debate class seems like the participants separated into 6 group
with 3 person in each group. They will get a topic and tried to discuss with giving the pro
arguments and contra arguments to the related topic. The purpose of this event are to facilitate us
with the debate forum to discussing many hot issues in Indonesia. It will be good experience to
enriche our knowledge about many issues that have no discussed in the college. With this event
we hope, AAPG can help us to saw the problems from two point of view (pro and contra) so we
can got the positive and negative informations about related topic that have been discussing.
From this effort we will understand how to solve the problems with the best solutions.
The theme that we made in this debate class such as Increasing the cost of BBM, Hows your
feeling?, Meet Energy Demand: Explorations or Energy Diversification, Save Our Energy
Resource : Hold the Investors or Naturalization the Company. The topics that we take are
nowadays problems in Indonesia, so with this event we can tried to give the options in positive
and negative point of view and found the best solutions. We have 3 session of debating with 6
group that participate, they are very interesting and attractive with this event. We hope that this

event will be hold periodically to give more experience to the student about our problems.
Besides hard skill we also increase our soft skill capability such as giving opinion in English
because in this event we used full English for the communications each other.

AAPG ENGLISH DAY

AAPG English Day is a periodically event that be held every week, this is the real effort as a
evidence that we concerned in English capability development. English is global language so we
have to develop our capability and practice periodically to be better native speaker. Nowadays,
every country or region can connected easily, so if we didnt have a skill to communicate in
English, it will be hold us to face the globalization. The keys to be better in this case are we have
to consider and concern about it, be brave and confident to speak up, and also practice all the
time. With this vision, UNDIP SC AAPG made the agenda in every week that every members
must speak up in English where ever we are. The days are Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, in
every these day we have to speak up in English over day. With this agenda we hope can facilitate
all members to increase their capability in communication as a native speaker. So, we can be
better generation that ready to face the globalization. But in this case, everyone must consider the
problem and being consistent.

ACADEMIC WALL MAGAZINE

Academic wall magazine is the product of academic division to fill the space in our wall
magazine. Academic division have some product that based on literary data and proceed to be a
good information. We submit academic wall magazine to media division periodically, every 2
weeks. The purpose of this effort are giving an information to all students about hot issues,
factual news, or geoscience development that connected to the topic of energy. It will help us to
get another news that havent we got in the college or daily event.
1. Shale Gas (September, 29th 2014)
Shale gas is natural gas that is found trapped within shale formations.[1] Shale gas has
become an increasingly important source of natural gas in the United States since the
start of this century, and interest has spread to potential gas shales in the rest of the
world. Based on the data from Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resource, 2014
Indonesia have a huge potential of shale gas amount speculatively 574 triliun cubic
feet. So it become the next energy for future in Indonesia, the development and effort
to concern in exploration have to do as soon as possible. To enrich our knowledge
about unconventional energy we made wall magazine that talking about shale gas
2. Coal Bed Methane (October, 13th 2014)
Coal bed methane (CBM) is a form of natural gas extracted from coal beds. In recent
decades it has become an important source of energy in United States, Canada,
Australia, and other countries. The term refers to methane adsorbed into the solid
matrix of the coal. Coal bed methane is distinct from a typical sandstone or other
conventional gas reservoir, as the methane is stored within the coal by a process
called adsorption. Based on the data from Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resource,
2014 Indonesia have a huge potential of shale gas amount speculatively 450 triliun
cubic feet. So what a huge potential it is, Indonesia need the another energy resource
besides conventional oil or gas. We need diversification of energy resource such as
unconventional energy. The best one is CBM, we have a huge resource and we can
develop it as fast as possible. To enrich our knowledge about unconventional energy
we made wall magazine that talking about Coal Bed Methane.

3. Methane Hydrate Gas (October, 27th 2014)

Methane hydrate is a cage-like lattice of ice inside of which are trapped molecules of
methane, the chief constituent of natural gas. If methane hydrate is either warmed or
depressurized, it will revert back to water and natural gas. When brought to the earth's
surface, one cubic meter of gas hydrate releases 164 cubic meters of natural gas.
Hydrate deposits may be several hundred meters thick and generally occur in two
types of settings: under Arctic permafrost, and beneath the ocean floor. Methane that
forms hydrate can be both biogenic, created by biological activity in sediments, and
thermogenic, created by geological processes deeper within the earth. While global
estimates vary considerably, the energy content of methane occurring in hydrate form
is immense, possibly exceeding the combined energy content of all other known fossil
fuels. However, future production volumes are speculative because methane
production from hydrate due to the huge potential.
