Empowering Indonesia’s Energy Future: FMIPA UGM and Pertamina Lead with Geophysics Innovation Study

Januari 3, 2024

The commitment to maintaining a balance between energy availability and demand is consistently pursued by FMIPA UGM and Upstream Innovation Pertamina Hulu Energi through collaborative research efforts. This aligns with the three SDGs points: (1) clean and affordable energy, (2) infrastructure, industry, and innovation, and (3) partnerships to achieve goals. In connection with this, a user meeting was organized as a discussion forum on geophysics innovation studies. The event took place on December 19-20, 2023, in Yogyakarta. Besides presenting research reports, the agenda served as a platform for disseminating knowledge related to the management and exploration of energy potential, especially petroleum.

One of the research topics under discussion is the Clean Technology SP-RT for Water Injection Monitoring. This research refers to clean energy-based innovations that are effective and cost-efficient. The effectiveness of existing innovations in the oil exploration process addresses the challenge of balancing energy availability and demand. On the other hand, the presence of innovation in this research undermines environmentally damaging methods, such as explosive detonation techniques.

Dr. T. Marwan Irnaka, M.Sc., a member of the research team, emphasized that the developed research must consider the conditions of the surrounding community. This is done to alleviate conflicts that often arise in society due to social sentiments formed towards energy exploration activities. “In the field, we (the research team) strive to build good interactions with the community using a positive approach. Even when leaving, we are sometimes detained,” recalled Irnaka during field exploration. In this regard, it is conveyed that the research conducted also provides an opportunity for students to be involved, allowing them to experience firsthand the implementation of knowledge acquired in the professional world. The hope is that geophysics studies will continue to evolve through ongoing research efforts to guide future energy exploration and management.

FMIPA UGM and Pertamina Implement Clean and Affordable Methods for Optimizing Hydrocarbon Potential

Desember 29, 2023

The exploration of hydrocarbons in Indonesia has become a crucial agenda in the effort to meet national energy needs. There are at least 5 components that need attention in energy management: utility, rationality, addition, sustainability, community welfare, preservation of environmental functions, national resilience, and integration by prioritizing national capabilities. Ideally, these 5 components should be integrated and implemented comprehensively in the effort to realize sustainable energy management in Indonesia. Referring to the aspect of sustainability, FMIPA UGM and Pertamina collaborated on research using the Processing Passive Seismic method, representing the values of the SDGs in the points of clean and affordable energy, innovation, maintaining terrestrial ecosystems, and partnerships to achieve goals.

On Friday, December 13rd , a meeting was held to discuss the final report of the research collaboration at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, UGM. “Appreciation for FMIPA UGM from the beginning to the end of the research collaboration. The hope is to provide a new perspective regarding the presence of hydrocarbons in the location and as an added value related to hydrocarbon analysis in the field,” explained Hafizhan Ihsandani, S.T., GGR Subsurface Development Area 1 Pertamina. In future improvements, Hafizhan also suggested further analysis to obtain optimal data (silent moments).

The head of the research team, Dr. Wahyudi, M.S. outlined the challenges in the conducted research. “The challenge is the emergence of noise from a distance. It seems clear in the field, but when analyzed, noises are found. So, we have to repeat data acquisition.” Despite this, Dr. Wahyudi expressed optimism about the sustainability of the method used because of its cost-effectiveness, low social conflict effects due to the passive nature of the method, and its environmental friendliness.
