PROFILE
EXECUTIVE INTERVIEW with
Mr. R. Priyono
Chairman of Executive Body of Oil & Gas
Upstream Business (BPMIGAS)
SPE Java Indonesia Section represented by Peter Adam (Former Chairman), Tri Firmanto (Secretary),
Deden Supriyatman (Present Chairman), Yani Siskartika (Section Committee) and Mega (Section Officer)
were welcomed on 23 October 2008 by Mr R. Priyono at BPMIGAS office in Patra Jasa Building, 21th
Floor, Jl Gatot Subroto, Jakarta.
The interview started with a greeting by Deden Supriyatman - Chairman of the SPE Java Indonesie
Section.
SPE: Pak Priyono, on behalf of the SPE Java Indonesia Section, I would like to thank you for your time to
have this interview in spite of your busy schedule. To start, can you please share with us your academic
background?
R. Priyono: Actually, I did not enroll in an oil and gas industry course. I enrolled in industrial technology.
But every Saturday, I noticed groups of students with back-packs, ropes and tents. So I asked who they
were, and where were they going ? It turned out those students were geology students, and they were going
for camping and rock climbing. This appealed to me, so I changed my study from industrial technology to
geology. At that time, my father was very upset. He believed that geology was a pure science, so there
was no chance to make a good career. But I believe that I made the right choice.
SPE: Can you tell us about your early career?
R. Priyono: I start my career with a Canadian gold mining company, with an excellent salary (at that time)
of Rp. 1.6 million per month. But I didnt really enjoy it, so I choose to switch my career and work with the
government. I wanted to join Lemigas, but I was on a long waiting list, so I accepted an opportunity to join
the Ministry of Energy instead. My starting salary was Rp 31,000 per month. I was placed in the division
that handles equipment and technology for exploration activities, to promote local content.
After three years I moved into Human Resources (HR) Service. My job was very interesting because I
was responsible to ensure Indonesian professionals were given opportunities to contribute to the oil and
gas industry at high levels, replacing expatriate workers. But I soon realised that we could not really stop
companies filling their strategic positions with expatriates. So I turned the situation around, and insisted
that the companies send Indonesian people to fill an equal number of strategic positions in the companys
home country. This became known as international job swapping.
From HR, I moved to the exploration division, responsible for promoting new working areas to investors.
My challenge was how to speed up the process to increase the level of investment. Once again, the key
was turning around the situation. Historically, the government proposed working areas to investors. But I
swapped this. I invited investors to approach the government to discuss blocks they wanted to invest in. To
keep this process transparent, I created a tender team comprising a mix of people from various industries
and from academia. After implementing this scheme, there has been a significant increase in investment.
This has been one of the most enjoyable moments in my career, because the Oil & Gas Director General
gave me freedom to be creative.
SPE: Pak Priyono, you made a radical change in your career by quitting a foreign company with a big salary
to work in the government service with a tiny salary. What drove you to make this decision?
R. Priyono: I just want to give myself to my country, not just to one person or one company.
SPE: How has the culture in the Ministry of Energy has changed from the Suharto era to now?

PROFILE
R. Priyono: It is totally different. Previously, we could work without fear, since all the responsibility was taken high up in the central
government. But now, the responsibility has been pushed down to us, so we have to take care of our job, and coordinate with other
government departments. All is much more transparent now.
SPE: Pak Priyono, a common theme in your history is implementing new ideas to get better results. Will you continue in this spirit
with your plans for BPMIGAS?
R. Priyono: In BPMIGAS, the most important thing is culture. We want to change our mindset from bureaucracy
to business. I want businessman here, so we can understand the market. I have invited Dr. Ong Hang Ling
for instance, to become my expert. I want to cut bureaucracy, so we can speed up approvals, speed up
operations, and increase production.
SPE: Pak Priyono, a more personal question: how was the selection process for your current position?
R. Priyono: I had no political experience at that time, so it was going into the jungle. Part of the process
was question-and-answer sessions with political parties. One party wondered if I was too young for this job.
I answered What I offer is change. I believe with my younger age I drive more significant changes. Another
wondered about my lack of a Masters or Doctorate degree. I answered Do you want a philosopher or a
leader? I am a leader. During these sessions, I gave down-to-earth answers and did not promise anything
that I could not give. What I gave was hope. If we work together to nurture our industry, then the increased
production will give a bigger cake for all to share.
SPE: Pak Priyono, can you share us a little bit about your family ?
R. Priyono: I have two children. They are important to me, and they have fully supported me during my
career. I taught them mathematics myself, but that back-fired and neither followed me into science. I also
taught them about life, and to give charity to people less fortunate than us. Happily, these lessons stuck.
They had been very understanding about my work schedule and long hours.
SPE: Pak Priyono, how can the SPE contribute to the oil and gas industry in Indonesia
R. Priyono: The most important thing is to promote investment in Indonesia. As you know, every day
BPMIGAS faces the parliament and the KPK (Anti Corruption Committee). The challenge is to promote our
industry to these functions so they can understand more about our industry.
SPE: Pak Priyono, what are your main challenges for the Indonesian oil and gas industry?
R. Priyono: My main challenge is to increase our national oil production. We have the reserves, but we need
to turn this into production. My other challenges are to further improve the investment climate or environment
and relations between BPMIGAS and the Contractors. I always remind the presidents of oil companies
in Indonesia that they put their signature in the same page as the head of BPMIGAS, which mean we are
partners, and we should work together and build the trust to reach the same objectives.
SPE: What about the shortage of engineers, geologist and other personnel needed for industry growth in
Indonesia. What do you think is the best way to cope with this?
R. Priyono: We have to understand the root of the problem
first. I ask oil companies in Indonesia Please dont compete
with other PSCs, but compete with other countries. Cooperate with other companies in Indonesia to ensure the
future of Indonesia oil and gas industry.
SPE: Thank you for your time to give this interview.

TECHNICAL DISCUSSION GROUP

SPE Technical Discussion Groups Special Meeting with
Sustainability Experts from Colorado.
Friday, November 7, 2008

leven practicing engineers from various companies joined the SPE-TDGs special session at the Trisakti University, Jakarta,
on November 7, 2008. The informal session was co-hosted by SPE member and IATMI activist Mukmin Taslim, replacing
Professor Wahyudi Wisaksono of the School of Energy & Mineral Science of that University, who initially called for the meeting
and put together the discussion agenda. Two visiting sustainability experts from Colorado State University facilitated a one-hour
discussion on the basics of sustainability management practices within the oil & gas industry globally, which then lead to the
recent case example of the LUSI mud volcano incident in Sidoarjo, East Java.
Shown in the picture below are (sitting from left to right) : Prof.M.Albertson (blue shirt), Prof.Ed Shinn, Mukmin Taslim (in
white shirt), Agoestanzil Sjahroezah of EMP (in batik shirt), Ms.Eleonora Sofilda and Ms.Renny Hafild of Trisakti University,
Syarif Kusumanegara of IATMI and Ismail Widadi of the Ministry of Public Works. TDGs coordinator Prijo Hutomo is seen
sitting on right side upfront, working on a PC to document the discussion.

The discussion also went on to review some lessons learned from the new Plan B.3.0 Book authored by Dr.Lester Brown (see
picture on the next page) of the Earth Policy Institute (EPI). This newly produced book can be downloaded at no charge from
the EPI website : http://www.earth-policy.org/Books/PB3/index.htm.
It is decision time now, said Professor Maurice Albertson, quoting this inspiring book. Like earlier civilizations that got into
serious energy crisis and environmental trouble, we have to make a choice. We can stay with business as usual (Plan A) and watch
our economy decline and our civilization unravel, or we can adopt Plan B and be the generation that mobilizes to save civilization.
Our generation will make the decision, but it will affect life on earth for all generations to come.
Plan B 3.0 is a comprehensive plan for reversing the trends that are fast undermining our future. Its four overriding goals are
to stabilize climate, stabilize population, eradicate poverty, and restore the earths damaged ecosystems, commented Professor
Ed Shinn. Failure to reach any one of these goals will likely mean failure to reach the others as well.

In the Plan B energy economy, wind is the centerpiece. It is abundant, low cost, and widely distributed; it scales easily and can
be developed quickly. The goal is to develop at wartime speed 3 million megawatts of wind-generating capacity by 2020, enough
to meet 40 percent of the worlds electricity needs. This would require 1.5 million wind turbines of 2 megawatts each. These
turbines could be produced on assembly lines by reopening closed
automobile plants, much as bombers were assembled in auto plants
during World War II.
In the development of renewable energy resources, Brown notes,
we are seeing the emergence of some big-time thinkingthinking
that recognizes the urgency of moving away from fossil fuels.
Nowhere is this more evident than in Texas, where the state
government is coordinating an effort to build 23,000 megawatts
of wind-generating capacity (the equivalent of 23 coal-fired power
plants). This will supply enough electricity to satisfy the residential
needs of over 11 million Texanshalf the states population. Oil
wells go dry and coal seams run out, but the earths wind resources
cannot be depleted.
Solar technologies also provide exciting opportunities for getting us
off the carbon treadmill. Sales of solar-electric panels are doubling
8 . SPE News . Dec-Jan 2009

TECHNICAL DISCUSSION GROUP

every two years. Rooftop solar water heaters are
spreading fast in Europe and China. In China,
some 40 million homes now get their hot water
from rooftop solar heaters. The plan is to nearly
triple this to 110 million homes by 2020, supplying
hot water to 380 million Chinese.
Large-scale solar thermal power plants are under
construction or planned in California, Florida,
Spain, and Algeria. Algeria, a leading world oil
exporter, is planning to develop 6,000 megawatts
of solar-thermal electric-generating capacity,
which it will feed into the European grid via an
undersea cable. The electricity generated from this
single project is enough to supply the residential
needs of a country the size of Switzerland.
Investment in geothermal energy for both heating and power generation is also growing fast, notes Brown. Iceland now heats
nearly 90 percent of its homes with geothermal energy, virtually eliminating the use of coal for home heating. The Philippines
gets 25 percent of its electricity from geothermal power plants. The United States has 61 geothermal projects under way in the
geothermally rich western states.
The combination of gas-electric hybrid cars and advanced-design wind turbines has set the stage for the evolution of an entirely
new automotive fuel economy. If the battery storage of the typical hybrid car is doubled and a plug-in capacity is added so that
batteries can be recharged at night, then we could do our short-distance drivingcommuting to work, grocery shopping, and so
onalmost entirely with cheap, wind-generated electricity.
This would permit us to run our cars largely on renewable electricityand at the gasoline-equivalent cost of less than $1 per
gallon. Several major automakers are coming to market with plug-in hybrids or electric cars.
With business as usual (Plan A), the environmental trends that are undermining our future will continue. More and more states
will fail until civilization itself begins to unravel. Time is our scarcest resource. We are crossing natural thresholds that we cannot
see and violating deadlines that we do not recognize, says Brown. These deadlines are set by nature. Nature is the timekeeper,
but we cannot see the clock.
The key to restructuring the world energy economy is to get the market to tell the environmental truth by incorporating into prices
the indirect costs of burning fossil fuels, such as climate disruption and air pollution. To do this, we propose adopting a carbon tax
that will reflect these indirect costs and offsetting it by lowering income taxes. We propose a worldwide carbon tax to be phased
in at $20 per ton each year between 2008 and 2020, stabilizing at $240 per ton. This initiative, which would be offset at every step
with a reduction in income taxes, would simultaneously discourage fossil fuel use and encourage investment in renewable sources
of energy.
Saving civilization is not a spectator sport, says Brown. We have reached a point in the deteriorating relationship between us and
the earths natural systems where we all have to become political activists. Every day counts. We all have a stake in civilizations
survival.
We can all make lifestyle changes, but unless we restructure the economy and do it quickly we will almost certainly fail. We need
to persuade our elected representatives and national leaders to support the environmental tax restructuring and other changes
outlined in Plan B. Beyond this, each of us can pick an issue that is important to us at the local level, such as phasing out coal-fired
power plants, shifting to more-efficient light bulbs, or developing a comprehensive local recycling program, and get to work on
it.
We all need to educate ourselves on environmental issues. For its part, the Earth Policy Institute is making Plan B 3.0 available
for downloading free of charge from http://www.earth-policy.org/Books/PB3/index.htm.

Program:

SPE Faculty Travel Support Pilot - First Offer to SPE Java

Indonesia

Event:

SPE Russian Oil & Gas Conference and Exhibition 2008

28 - 30 October 2008, Moscow, Russia

I was delighted to be chosen as the first recipient in the whole

world of SPEs Faculty Travel Support Pilot Program.
I was able to attend my preferred meeting which was the SPE
Russian Oil and Gas Technical Conference and Exhibition in
Moscow from 28-30 October 2008. Honesty, it is a great honor
that I was chosen and given the trust from the SPE Headquarter
and the SPE Java Section.
I am happy to report that I have accomplished this mission. Below
are pictures to show I really did go to Moscow.
Truly, it was a great experience to go there. I gained a lot of
knowledge, met many experts and saw new technology related to
oil and gas industries. This will all be transferred and shared with
the students in my department (Petroleum Engineering Department - UPN Veteran Yogyakarta)
when I teach them. Besides the conference, I also took the opportunity to see some of great
places around Moscow.
For this opportunity, I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to Mr. Tom Whipple
(SPE Professional Development Manager), Mr. Fauzi Imron, Mr.
Peter Adam, Mr. Deden Supriyatman (Chairman of SPE Java
Indonesia) and also Mrs. Mega (SPE Java Section) for their
kindness, attention, supports and best efforts in all matters to
assist me to travel to attend the Russian Oil & Gas Conference
and Exhibition 2008 at Moscow.
With due respect, once again, thank you very much indeed and
May God Bless you all
Best Regards,

SPE Luncheon Talk
Thursday, 06th November 2008
Ritz Carlton Hotel, Jakarta
by
Dr. Abdul Muin
Vice Chairman - the Executive Agency of Indonesian Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities
(BPMIGAS)
How We Anticipate the Financial Crisis Impacts in
Upstream Oil & Gas Industry in Indonesia
The Distinguished Lecturer scheduled on Thursday 06th November 2008 was cancelled due to some internal reason, but SPE
Java Section was honored to have Dr. Abdul Muin to replace it just in time. It was successful and was attended by 65 people.
The summary of the talk as follows;
The oil and gas sector is still important for Indonesian economy and national security. PSCs and technology providers (service
companies) play a major role as they work closely with government in finding, developing and producing as much volume as
possible of oil and gas. The present financial crisis indicated by the down of the US stock market sharply has an effect to the
entire world including electricity and transportation, for instance.
Therefore, without exception it may have an impact into E&P activities of oil & gas industry including services and material
procurement.
Dr. Muin discussed how we anticipate the above financial crisis in upstream of our oil & gas industry, and then followed by
question and answer.
On behalf of SPE Java Section, we would like to thank Dr. Muin for his willingness to give such an interesting talk in such
a short notice. Really appreciate it and hope to have another topic again soon.

Higher-Order Methods in Reservoir Simulation: Luxury or Necessity?
Hussein Hoteit
ConocoPhillips Co.
Abstract:
The fast evolution of oil recovery processes such as carbon dioxide injection in naturally fractured reservoir and steam
injection in heavy-oil reservoirs require suitable simulation tools that can efficiently predict the different field management
scenarios. The current reservoir simulators that support the finite difference or the integrated finite difference methods
have inherent limitations. These simulators may need excessively fine grids to correctly describe the hydrocarbon flow
behavior in fracture media and the steam front in thermal recovery. In the last couple of years, the petroleum engineering
community has put in action the development of next generation reservoir simulations that support unstructured griddings
by using the integrated finite difference method. There are, however, limited investments from the community to explore
the benefits of higher-order methods. The applicability and the superiority of higher-order methods to the conventional
methods in reservoir simulation have been shown in the literature. Higher-order methods, such as the mixed finite
element and discontinuous-Galerkin, correctly approximate the transmissibilities faults and fractures and capture sharp
fronts in the saturations. They also offer a promising alternative to dual-porosity approaches which have serious flaws in
multiphase flow. Higher-order methods are slower than first-order methods on the same mesh size but the latter methods
may require orders of magnitude finer grids to have similar accuracy as the higher-order methods on coarse grids. Issues
such as grid orientation are almost non-exist in some of these higher-order methods. Are the reservoir engineers willing
to trade-off the accuracy and reliability of higher-order methods with the speed of the first-order methods? I will present
several numerical examples including some field scale results to show that the time has come for a change.
Biography:
Hussein Hoteit is a senior reservoir engineer at ConocoPhillips. He worked with Prof. Abbas Firoozabadi as a researcher
at the Reservoir Engineering Research Institute (RERI) for three years. He holds BSc degrees in pure Math and
computer sciences from the Lebanese University, and MSc and PhD in applied Math (graduated in 2002) from Universit
de Rennes, France. He has published more than 20 technical papers and gained in 2002 the COUPLEX benchmark
award (sponsored by the French Agency for Nuclear Waste Management, ANDRA) in the field of numerical simulation
of radionuclide transport around a nuclear waste deep storage site.

STUDENT CHAPTER
Break-Fasting with SPE SC ITB
Date: Friday, 19 September 2008

efore leaving for the orphanage, we prepared from 14.30 until 15.00, talking about the rundown of event from
starting until ending, and collecting some stuff to be used in the Wisma Putra Orphanage.

We arrived at the Wisma Putra Orphanage at 15.00 then we decorated the meeting room quickly.
We started the event at 15.30 by reading the Al-quran. After that, the head of the orphanage (Mr. Ace Rokhmat)
greeted us.
Then Ibnu Hafi dz from the SPE SC ITB made a presentation on petroleum knowledge to the children from the
orphanage, who were junior high school students. At the end of the presentation, Ibnu Hafi dz asked question to the
children about his presentation, and the children who answered the question got the Cookies.
After Ibnus Presentation, Mr. Randy gave a tausiah about being happy. The children paid attention well; it can
be concluded by their interest in offering the question about tausiah. At 17.30, we shared the tajil then waiting for the
fast breaking at 18.00.
Then all the children and the SPE members shalat together in their masjid at 18.15 then returned to the meeting
room at 18.30 for dinner. After dinner, we took a photo for documentation.
