saya dengar sih ada, frans. kalo yg saya alami bahkan sebaliknya. tahun 1997, ketika menutup 'kantor cabang' di luar jakarta/jawa, saya bertugas untuk menghancurkan semua conto batuan yang ada dalam satu gudang besar yang dikumpulkan selama lebih dari 6 tahun. conto batuan tsb terdiri dari conto yg diambil dari singkapan (surface geological mapping), cutting sample (dari shothole utk seismik dan sebagian kecil dari sumur pemboran eksplorasi), serta conto inti batuan (sekitar 30% dari jumlah seluruhnya; berasal dari 'coring team' yg melakukan pemboran dangkal khusus utk mengambil conto inti tsb).
saya perlukan waktu 5 hari utk melaksanakan tugas tsb. dengan satu truk besar utk mengangkut conto2 batuan dari gudang dan dibuang ke satu tempat di luar kota. saya tidak ingat berapa kali dalam sehari truk tsb mondar-mandir dari gudang ke tempat pembuangan/penghancuran. ada sekitar 10 tenaga kerja kasar yg membantu tugas ini (selain sopir truk). saya hanya mengoleksi sangat sedikit conto utk dibawa pulang ke pulau jawa. berat bo, soalnya juga mesti bawa barang2 lain. semoga bermanfaat. salam, syaiful * sedih rasanya ketika berpesta perpisahan bersama para draftsman, koki, sekretaris, para sopir, kru lapangan, dll (entah bagaimana nasib mereka kini, semoga semuanya mendapatkan pekerjaan lain yg lebih baik).

ini berita dari Amrik. kalau di Indonesia, apakah ada perusahaan yang mau menyumbangkan core atau well log atau test data atau seismik? fbs Chevron recently donated 233,000 boxes of core and well samples collected during 70 years of oil and gas exploration to the Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG) at the University of Texas at Austin. The donation included $1.5 million to the BEG's endowment to preserve the samples for future generations of geoscientists. Below are photos from the donation ceremony: Texas Railroad Commissioner at Event Chairman of the Texas Railroad Commission Elizabeth A. Jones (pictured left) was one of several Texas State dignitaries to attend the donation ceremony. Established in 1891, the Railroad Commission of Texas has several regulatory divisions that oversee the Texas oil and gas industry, natural gas utilities, pipeline and liquefied petroleum gas safety and the surface mining of coal. "It's important that the public, private and academic sectors work together to secure our energy future," Chairman Jones said. "What Chevron is doing with its once-private collection of well cores is immeasurable in aiding the next generation of geologists in their training and research for our country's own vast conventional and unconventional reserves of oil and gas." Honorary Plaque Commemorates Donation Scott Tinker, director of the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin, presents Don Paul (r), vice president and chief technology officer of Chevron and Ed Donovan (l), geoscientist at Chevron's Houston Engineering Technology Center, with an honorary plaque commemorating Chevron's donation of core samples and endowment funding. The bronzed plaque will be permanently displayed at the Bureau's Houston Research Center. "In a mature area like the United States, which has an enormous historical base of geologic information, there's the risk that many of these samples would eventually be lost," Paul said. "This donation provides real-world data and samples from around the U.S. and allows educational and training opportunities for students, researchers and industry professionals to promote scientific and technological innovation." Tinker noted that the samples may still hold secrets to undiscovered oil and gas. "Many people may look at a sample and think it is just a piece of rock," said Tinker, "but often, the sample can direct us to where oil and gas is or where it might be. So these cores can be used to train the next generation of geoscientists for future study and may lead to additional resource discovery that might not have been possible in the past." The Bureau of Economic Geology functions as a research unit of The University of Texas at Austin, the State Geological Survey and the Regional Lead Organization for the Petroleum Technology Transfer Council. The Bureau provides wide-ranging advisory, technical, informational and research-based services to industries, nonprofit organizations, and federal, state and local agencies. Ed Donovan, Chevron Houston Engineering Technology Center geologist, and a student from the Jackson School of Geosciences study some of the core samples Chevron donated to the BEG. The University of Texas at Austin and Chevron have had a long-standing relationship. The company recruits many employees from the university, and prior to this contribution, Chevron has given the university more than $38 million in gifts and research grants.
