Jul - Sep ‘14 ITB Faculty Profile Asep Kurnia Permadi graduated from Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) in 1987, and holds a Master and Doctoral degree from Texas A&M University, graduated 1994 and 1997 respectively. He is patent holder for several novel inventions such as sequential polymer injection method and hydraulic fracturing observation apparatus. Apart from teaching at ITB, Asep, who was Technical Advisor for Texaco EP Technology Department in Houston in 1997, also consulting for various oil and gas works.

Jul - Sep ‘14 ITB Faculty Profile PE meets with Asep in his offi ce in SBandung. As founder and advisor of SPE SC in ITB, what do you think is the profi le of an ideal student? Each faculty will have a different opinion on what composes an ideal student. In my opinion, a student should not only be good academically, but should also have good ethics and great soft-skills such as leadership and entrepreneurship. It is also important that they get to know their professional world, the earlier the better. I founded SPE-ITB SC with the vision to serve precisely that. In terms of curriculum, ITB students require 144 credits (SKS) to graduate. Previously, it was 160, and earlier still in my time it was 163. The container gets smaller, whereas our body of knowledge grows each day. The 144 credits must include all sorts of things. You can imagine how diffi cult it is to fi t all the content into such a limited container. They can learn from SPE what they can’t learn from the usual 144 credits. accreditation body which uses feedback importantly the AB advises us on defi ning our Having observed past presidents of SPE SC, from associations to defi ne the ideal program educational objectives (PEO) each of them has their own track record in professional.

  • South China Sea Overview
    ‹ Countries South China Sea Last Updated: February 7, 2013 (Notes) full report Overview The South China Sea is a critical world trade route and a potential source of hydrocarbons, particularly natural gas, with competing claims of ownership over the sea and its resources. Stretching from Singapore and the Strait of Malacca in the southwest to the Strait of Taiwan in the northeast, the South China Sea is one of the most important trade routes in the world. The sea is rich in resources and holds significant strategic and political importance. The area includes several hundred small islands, rocks, and reefs, with the majority located in the Paracel and Spratly Island chains. Many of these islands are partially submerged land masses unsuitable for habitation and are little more than shipping hazards. For example, the total land area of the Spratly Islands encompasses less than 3 square miles. Several of the countries bordering the sea declare ownership of the islands to claim the surrounding sea and its resources. The Gulf of Thailand borders the South China Sea, and although technically not part of it, disputes surround ownership of that Gulf and its resources as well. Asia's robust economic growth boosts demand for energy in the region. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects total liquid fuels consumption in Asian countries outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to rise at an annual growth rate of 2.6 percent, growing from around 20 percent of world consumption in 2008 to over 30 percent of world consumption by 2035. Similarly, non-OECD Asia natural gas consumption grows by 3.9 percent annually, from 10 percent of world gas consumption in 2008 to 19 percent by 2035.

    9 December 2011 Seismic reflections Listening out for the Falklands jungle drums Interest in Falklands oil exploration has dwindled during 2011 as investors limit exposure to the frontier region. However, with Rockhopper nearing the end of its extended Sea Lion appraisal campaign, a second discovery having been confirmed in the shape of Casper, and most critically the Leiv Eiriksson drilling rig coming over the horizon to start drilling in the South Falklands Basin, we expect interest to pick up significantly in the new year.

  • Oil Prices: Cause and Effect 1
    Oil Prices: Cause and Effect 1 Briefing note 10 March 2015 Oil Prices: Cause and Effect The global price of oil had been relatively stable at about US$110 a barrel for the last 4-5 years. However, the increased shale oil production in the US combined with lower global demand for oil has recently led to a plunge in oil prices. Oil prices have fallen significantly since June 2014. The decline, together with uncertainty about where oil prices will settle, has created sudden downward pressure in the oil & gas sector and has given rise to a need to re-visit business planning and strategy, at least in the short term. Some of the key themes that we have seen and expect to continue with the increased volatility in oil prices are set out below. Impact on oil exporting defaults by oil-producing countries in their contractual countries obligations Key issues The fall in oil prices will have a debt and loan defaults Impact on oil exporting significant impact on countries (like sovereign debt refinancing countries Venezuela, Nigeria and Russia) for oil-producing countries seeking to Review of current project which oil exports make up a large increase their "take" of revenue arrangements proportion of their income. under petroleum agreements at Long term LNG contracts Venezuela, which was already the expense of oil companies, against a strengthening US suffering the effects of inflation, will including through expropriative dollar likely need prices of US$120 per actions Merger and acquisition barrel if it is to fund important social It would be prudent to consider what opportunities programmes and Nigeria has had to provisions should be included in devalue its currency as a result of the future contracts with sovereign states common.

  • 1 Modelling Oil and Gas Stock Returns Using Multi Factor Asset Pricing
    Modelling oil and gas stock returns using multi factor asset pricing model including oil price exposure Abstract Oil and gas is one of the most important sectors in every economy and the valuation of oil and gas companies becomes quite challenging due to the volatility of crude oil price. The paper investigates the determinants of the UK oil and gas stock returns using multi factor asset pricing model and the existence of asymmetric effects in the Brent crude oil price. Our results show that market risk, oil price risk, size and book-to-market related factors are all relevant in the determination of asset returns of the oil and gas companies quoted on the London stock exchange. Oil price increases and decreases decomposed separately have more effect on the oil companies’ stock returns than the normal log changes of the price which shows the presence of asymmetric effect. However, the oil price shocks in general do not seem to strongly affect stock returns in oil and gas sector possibly due to horizontal and vertical integration of bigger companies in the sector. Keywords: asset pricing models, Brent crude oil, asymmetry in oil price, size effect, book to market ratio, oil and gas sector, oil price exposure, structural breaks. JEL Classification Codes: G12 1 1. Introduction One of the biggest challenges in the field of finance is how to effectively model the risk and return of financial securities. Researchers have formulated various asset pricing models that tend to explain the determinants of asset returns. Markowitz’s (1952) mean-variance analysis provides the foundations of portfolio optimisation.
