Apr - Aug ‘16 A Word from the Dear SPE Members and Readers, Indonesia’s crude oil production for 2016 is expected at around 819,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), slightly lower than the target in the revised state budget of 820,000 bopd. Seasonal fall in production is still expected to hit us around Q3/Q4 every year. The target for next year is revised down to 740,000 to 760,000 bopd in anticipation of prolonged low oil price. It may not be the best time to boost production, when the crude oil price is still at much lower point than before. As many say, the value of hydrocarbon down there in the Earth layers is zero. Only when they are brought up and lifted, then the hydrocarbon has certain commercial values. The best commercial value is, therefore, achieved when the market price is at its best on the surface. However, the danger in Indonesia future oil and gas – situation. In this edition, we explore some of those key and energy in a broader sense – is greater than just the factors affecting the investment attractiveness including issue of when the oil price will be stabilized up again, or the tax and legal issues that the industry has been when we need to crank up the production next. All of feeling that the greater part of government (not only you, members and friends, that walked around the 2016 those related to Energy) is not at the same speed and IPA Exhibition and Convention, will not miss the fact that wavelength. It is also fair to note that our front men and our exploration activity was greatly reduced in the first women in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources half of the year, to only 10 exploratory wells drilled to have proposed some breakthroughs and innovative date (in April 2016) to 52 exploratory wells in 2015, 83 ideas. It gave us a great pleasure to talk to these sources in 2014 and over 100 wells annually from 2011-2013. from both the government and the industry on this On average, it takes around 10-15 years to develop the important matter, and deliver it to you members and exploratory finding to the first production, assuming friends. a certain level of exploration success rate – and the figure is getting longer these days. The fact that we are We also share thoughts and experience in this edition combating the natural decline in production today, and from other technology players in Indonesia, in addition we are still loosing by the way, comes from another fact to our usual technology column. Technology is the that in the last 10-15 years we had not developed large cornerstone of our society, and the most important tool enough exploratory findings into production. Hence, we that will lead to a more efficient and cost-effective ways can estimate what will happen in the next 10-15 years of exploring and producing hydrocarbon in the future. when today our exploration is probably at the lowest The other corner of our industry is our high standard of point. Many of us may not be around in the industry safety. Our featured column poses this very intriguing any longer by then, but this is the time bomb that our question, whether actually we are committed to safety or students, sons and daughters, will face. Our legacy. only to the compliance to safety? What is the difference? Have a good read. In this edition we report the last There are many reasons for this situation, but generally snapshot and news on our SPE Java memberships, can be boxed into: geological perspective and fundraising events and student chapters activities. Our investment climate. Geologically, the jury is still out quarter is still full with interesting and fun things to do. whether Indonesia will produce new Cepu, Minas, Duri, Arun, etc, but the consensus is that we still have some promising but unexplored fields, both conventional Warmest Regards.

The second factor, investment climate, is arguably the easiest to control, but Hasbi Lubis in reality it may or may not be responsible for the current Chairman 2015-2016 SPE Java . Apr - Aug ‘16 3 News From SPE Java Membership Dear SPE Java Members, Please see on the next page the SPE Java Membership Database information. Our figures show Professionals Members at 607 and Student Members: 3,092. We are doing quite well on recruiting new members. Our biggest struggle is to retain existing members, as can be seen from the chart we have 460 lapsed (unpaid) members. Times are difficult and these days difficult to find the money to renew. As an incentive, please be advised that SPE has an option of e-MEMBERSHIP (only available for Country Category 2 which INDONESIA is. This is USD10 per year and includes everything the same, except only ONLINE JPT only). This is limited globally. Kindly consider this option when renewing your membership. Also, current lapse Members who want to renew (will get the rest of 2016 free) PROVIDED they have not done this last year OTHERWISE it will be from September onwards (to whole of 2017). We hope this info helps. Regards, Steven Broadmeadow Cessy Bellafania Membership – SPE Java Section 4 SPE Java .

This equipment is to be used to further understand differential pressure sticking and to observe how Schlumberger measurement tool designs can be changed to reduce this effect. The apparatus builds a mudcake, embeds a test piece in the mudcake and measures the force required to pull the test piece free. This apparatus was designed, built and tested.

Accepted 29 August, 2013 Stuck piping is a common problem with tremendous impact on drilling efficiency and costs in oil industry. Generally, the stuck pipe troubles are solved after their occurrences by using some standard techniques; here we attempt to predict the causes of occurrence of such problems to eschew risks and excessive drilling costs. If these risks are identified in advance, better solutions can be provided to reduce the associated consequences. Based on the literature, this problem is caused by numerous parameters, such as drilling fluid properties and the characteristics of the mud cake that is formed while drilling. In this study, an attempt is made to develop a model for stuck pipe prediction. To consider all aspects of pipe sticking and behavior of the involved variables, the fuzzy logic and active learning method (ALM) can be used as a primary predictive tool. Active Learning Method is a robust recursive fuzzy modeling without computational complexity. These methods are broadly used in many industries; including oil and gas. This paper proposes a systematic approach for pipe stuck prediction based on ALM.
