=====================================
COURSE OVERVIEW 
 
Understanding sedimentology is one of the basic requirement  to a success in oil & gas 
and coal exploration.  Although it is hardly noticed, explorationists use lots of 
sedimentological principles and concepts in their daily exploration activity, i.e.: 
describing outcrop/core, interpreting logs and seismic, drawing reservoir maps and 
coal distributions, and ultimately calculating reserves of hydrocarbons and coals. 
This course is aimed to refresh the knowledge of basic sedimentology with special 
reference to deltaic-fluvial setting; the environment of which are associated with 
most of the Indonesian hydrocarbons and coals. 
 
Back to basic - Look at the rock: is the basic philosophy of the course. No matter how 
sophisticated the tools that help us (loggings, seismic, interpretation software, 
etc), the success of exploration is still depend on the geologist (and geology 
concepts) behind the tools.  Understanding sedimentology gained from this course will 
hopefully recharge the explorationist battery to keep on generating prospects (or at 
least new ideas) in dealing with the materials (cuttings, core, logs, seismic) and the 
tools (software's, etc). 
 
For new recruits, this course will certainly equip them with necessary focus on 
selected sedimentology knowledge to be used in the future works; while for experience 
explorationists, this will refresh lots of their understanding about sedimentology, 
which probably already built-in intuitively (sometimes becomes obsolete) in their 
mind. 
 
This is the fourth  time that a course of this kind (classroom, outcrop and mountain 
resort combination) is conducted. The previous three   courses on August, October 2001 
and  March 2002 had received many interests and good comments (see: comments at the 
end of this email *). 
Participants can choose any hotel / accommodation in the area, but it is suggested to 
choose the one where the course is conducted, i.e.: Hotel Taman Sari, Sukabumi. While 
seriously charge the exploration battery during the course, the participant (and 
family  ? ) may also refresh during the week-end nights at this mountain resort. Of 
course you can also choose to go directly to the course everyday from Jakarta (2-3 hrs 
drive) or Bogor (1-2 hrs drive). The course will be a combination between classroom 
lecturing and exercises, and field-outcrop description.  


For companies, the course will not interfere much the daily duties of the employee, 
because it will be conducted during the weekend (although the company has to let them 
leaving the work for full day during Friday).

* Several comments from participants : 
..."very good course and field trip"..... 
..."the topic are very good and meet with our expectation".. 
...." need more time to classroom and field course".... 
.." It's great course!, it's ready good to be back on the field,  make me  fresh 
again, because I see logs too much"...
..."I am recommended to continue the course topic to the other geologist". 
..."need continue this course, karena bagi Geoscience yang tidak  sempat ke Delta 
Mahakam bisa ekskursi di Gunung Walat. I  will promote in my company". 
..."ada kesempatan banyak untuk lebih mendalami endapan-endapan delta ditinjau dari
