Dear Explorationist,
Considering so many enthusiastic response from previous participants of the course in
2001 and 2002, we will be organizing the Fieldtrip and Workshop "FLUVIAL - DELTAIC
SEDIMENTOLOGY FOR EXPLORATIONIST" on March 28nd -30th, 2003.
Attached to this mail, we include the complete information about the course. Please
have a look, and thanks for your attention. For whom interested in this course, please
do not hesitate to contact us via this address, phone & fax if there is any further
question(s).
Warmest Regards,
GDA

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 obsolute) in their
mind.
This is the fifth 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, September 2002 had received many interests and good comments
(see: comments at the end of this letter *).
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 sudut pandang field orientation"..
