The Opening of Progress Meeting Collaboration between PT. Pertamina Zone 4 and FMIPA UGM

The artificial intelligence system developed by the FMIPA and Pertamina EP Zone 4 is capable of predicting the presence of hydrocarbons in layers that are difficult to detect. Hydrocarbons typically have relatively high resistivity values and high-contrast values (LRLC – Low Resistivity Low Contrast reservoirs). However, it is not uncommon for hydrocarbons to hide in zones with low rock resistivity values. This makes hydrocarbon zone analysis very challenging.

“FMIPA is very grateful for the digital transformation study challenge by utilizing this machine learning technology. Studies like these must continue to be conducted so that Indonesia not only becomes a user but also a creator of technology,” said Wiwit Suryanto, Vice Dean for Research and Community Service, on Wednesday, Jan 31^st, 2024, at the Awann Sewu Hotel, Semarang.

Presentation of Study Progress by Dr. Sudarmaji, M.Sc.

In addition to machine learning technology for LRLC cases, the FMIPA team has also developed fault analysis technology on seismic data using computer vision and geophysics. This technology can expedite the process of identifying reservoirs and hydrocarbon traps. On this occasion, the FMIPA team led by Sudarmaji and Pertamina EP Zone 4 also discussed potential collaborative research opportunities to optimize hydrocarbon production.
