PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION IN 2013

TASK 1: ESTABLISHMENT OF ADVISORY BOARD

Objectives:

The Advisory Board provide strategic guidance on the strategic direction of phase 1 of

the project (the current project) and other tasks to be carried out under future phases of

the project. The Board will have two main focuses of providing strategic advice to the

PIs on the direction of the project and to develop a .road map for future phases of this

project.

Plan:

Three meetings of the advisory board was planned to get the necessary strategic guidance

on the direction of the project.

Implementation:

An advisory board has been established in early 2012. Members of the board are the

representatives from Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Star Energy Ltd.,

Indonesian Geothermal Association (INAGA/API), PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy

(PGE), Chevron Geothermal Indonesia Ltd., Schlumberger, Haliburton and Supreme

Energy Ltd.

In 2013 the advisory board has conducted three meetings.

The first meeting of advisory board has been conducted on February 8, 2013 with

the participants of the representatives from API (Asosiasi Panas Bumi

Indonesia-Indonesian Geothermal Association), Star Energy, ITB, USAID, and

Nexant. Star Energy Ltd acts as the secretariat of the advisory board. The meeting

discussed the timeline of program implemented in 2013, including Geothermal

Seminars (TASK 3), attendance of conferences, seminars, and workshops (TASK 4),

Sabbatical Program (TASK 5), Training for the Trainers (TASK 8 and 9). Also, it

was discussed the proposal of the extension program for the next year (2014) which

included several new programs implemented in 2014, including initiation of

Geothermal Research Centre.

The second meeting was conducted on July 17, 2013 for the scholarship selection

process. The advisory board who attended the meeting and became the interviewer

were coming from industries and government, such as Abadi Poernomo (Indonesia

Geothermal Association), Paul Mustakim (Chevron), Djadjang S (Mineral Resources

Energy Agency), Dewi Gentana (PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy), and Retno

Setianingsih (USAID), along with Nenny Saptadji from ITB and Sanusi Satar from

Star Energy. The meeting came up with the result that USAID had agreed to

support the extension program (additional program) implemented in 2014.

However, USAID asked for industry’s contribution to also support the program.

The third meeting was conducted on December 17, 2013. It discussed more detail of

the sharing budget between USAID and industry. It was planned to schedule

another meeting to finalize the proportion of industry’s contribution in each

proposed programs.

Results/Outcomes of Task 1 :

1. A more permanent network established among ITB, Star Energy and members of

the advisory board, i.e. Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Star Energy Ltd.,

Indonesian Geothermal Association (INAGA/API), PT Pertamina Geothermal

Energy (PGE), Chevron Geothermal Indonesia Ltd., Schlumberger, Haliburton,

Supreme Energy, and PT Thermochem.

2. The Avisory Board provided guidance on the following aspects:

a. The timeline and activities for program implementation in 2013.

b. The selection process, the requirements and the recipient of the 2013’s

scholarship (Task 4).

c. Expansion program for 2014 (future phases of the project).

3. The Advisory Board provided direct industry input into education initiatives as the

following:

Industries provided several trainers and course materials for a number of

topics discussed in Task 6, 7, 8 and 9 (Course Development/Trainings).

Industries provided speakers and seminar materials for topics discussed in

Task 3 (Seminars).

Industries gave opportunities for fieldtrips and internship program.

Task 10N Geothermal Research Center: New software development

Task 11N Geothermal Research Center: Improvement of existing software and geothermal database

Sharing budget among industries for the extension program (2014’s program) will be

discussed again in the next meeting.

6. The program supported by the Advisory Board inline with the “Roadmap of the

Graduate Program in Geothermal Technology of ITB 2008-2018”.

Impacts:

1. An actual implementation from the network built among ITB, Star Energy, and

other geothermal industries in Indonesia is the ease of internship program

conducted in Star Energy, PT PGE, Chevron, and Supreme Energy where

students from geothermal magister have more opportunities to conduct their

research in those companies/developers. With the help from industries, students

can produce papers or research based on what they experience from internship or

short visitation to their areas. This access can be opened due to the strong

network built between ITB and industries which was initiated in 2012 with the

establishment of advisory board by IGECB program.


Page | 8

Spillover:

The unintended results or spillover occurred from the establishment of a networking

between ITB and the advisory board are as follows:

1. INAGA/API provided partial sponsorship for students to attend the INAGA

Annual Conference. 2012 and 2013

2. Chevron Geothermal Indonesia Ltd., provided full sponsorship for one student

to attend the Stanford Geothermal Workshop 2013.

3. PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy provided full sponsorship for one student to

present a paper at the NZ Geothermal Workshop 2013.

The collaboration between universities and industries should be seen as beneficial asset for the future plan to prepare Indonesia human resources and to strengthen their

capability for reaching a robust geothermal development target. The potential to enhance this cooperation with industry will significantly benefit future geothermal

training in Indonesia, particularly to provide essential practice experience.

increase the number of applicants, not only from the ITB but also from other

universities. The purpose of the roadshow was to give information to the general public,

especially among academics about the opportunity to obtain a scholarship of USAID -

Energy Star, for those who are interested to study at the Graduate (Master) Programme

in Geothermal Technology of ITB.

Roadshow performed by some graduate student Geothermal Engineering Program, led

by executive coordinator of cooperation USAID-SE-USC-ITB. The team visited six

universities in Java island. They are University of Diponegoro (Central Java), University

Pembangunan Nasional and University of Gajahmada at Yogyakarta, University of

Padjajaran (West Java), Institut Teknologi Surabaya at Surabaya, and University of

Indonesia. Topics include of the following:

As for student’s performance, it is monitored that out of 11 scholars, there are three

scholars with GPA (Grade Point Average) in their first semester below minimum

requisite of 3.0. It becomes our concern to support them in the next semester for they

are the scholars of GECB program. While, for scholars from 2012 enrollment, there

were two scholars who had resigned from the scholarship and magister study program,

left 8 scholars, which two of them have their GPA for the last three semesters below 3.0.

B. Internship Program for the 2012-2013 scholarship recipients

The internship program was implemented for 1-2 months in several geothermal

companies, namely Wayang Windu Geothermal Energy Star Ltd., PT Pertamina

Geothermal Energy and Supreme Energy. After implementing an internship program,

students were asked to report on the activities carried out in the field at the Geothermal

Forum of ITB.

C. Results/Outcomes:

1. In July 2012 ten students received scholarship through this program, but two of them resigned from ITB at the end of the first semester, one because of her illness and the other one because of his dificulties in managing time between work and study. Scholarship is for four semesters, starting July 2012 and will end on June 2014. Scholarship covers tuition fee, books and for internship/field trip program.

2. In July 2013 eleven students received scholarship through this program. Scholarship is for four semesters, starting July 2013 and will end on June 2015. Scholarship covers tuition fee, books and for internship/field trip program.

3. The remaining scholarship funding (funding for one student who resigned in 2012) were used to support other academic activities, such as:

a. Partial sponsorship for sending a student conducting laboratory work at the Kyushu University for his Master Thesis.

b. Partial sponsorship for sending a student to present her paper at the NZ Geothermal Workshop 2013

c. Partial sponsorship for sending a student to participate in the “School on the Move Program” at the Kyushu University as part as the joint program amongs Universities of Kyushu (Japan) - Chulalangkong (Thailand) – ITB (Indonesia) – UGM (Indonesia).

Figure 5 Mahesa Pradana Saputra, ITB student of class 2011, conducting laboratory work at the Kyushu University for his Master thesis titled “The Changes of Chemical

Contents in Thermal Manifestation, Tangkuban Perahu, Indonesia”.

4. In total twenty students received scholarship through this program. This cover almost 33% of Master’s students enrolled in 2012 and 2013. The same proportion of scholarship were granted by Ministry of Education of Indonesia (Beasiswa Unggulan for a mximum of 20 students). For students who have financial problems for supporting their study were helped through ITB Scholarship to wave their tuition fees for up to two semesters but they have to work as part time tutors (Voucher Scholarship). In average 3-5 students per year receive this voucher scholarship.


Page | 16

D. Impact:

1. The IGECB scholarship program supported ITB in building capacity for the

geothermal education program.

ITB benefit quantitatively through increasing the number of graduate level

students in geothermal energy technology and increasing the competitive

level of the ITB’s geothermal master program.

2. The IGECB scholarship program gives access to higher education for students

of all income levels. It also helps students have more time to focus on their

studies. Therefore one of the requirements to accept the scholarship is that the

applicants that are employed have to provide formal letter of permission from

employer to leave the work and study full time at ITB Magister program. For

many students the stresses of working time make it difficult for them to

graduate on time or graduate with the high grades they have the potential to

achieve. For other students, the work/study life cannot be maintained together,

and they discontinue their studies all together. Beside the benefits mentioned, it

is expected in the future that the students will become philanthropic themselves

and “give back” when they are financially able. In addition to that, by being the

student recipient of a scholarship, they are more responsible to represent

themselves in public as they are expected to excel which makes them study

harder to prove what they are appointed to be.

3. The roadshow and seminars run in seven big cities in Indonesia, i.e. Nanggroe

Aceh Darussalam, Manado, Surabaya, Bandung, Depok, Semarang, and DI.

Yogyakarta help spread the information of IGECB scholarship program

therefore the scholarship applicants may come from various universities all

over Indonesia, however most of them came from universities located in Java

island. It is expected that in the future the recipient of scholarship can be more

varied, particularly reach people coming from where geothermal field located or

being developed.

Scholarship also helps students have more time to focus on their studies.

A key innovation implemented by the IGECB program was to involve local

communities in projects, from organizing the seminar to giving a presentation in the

seminar. For example, in Aceh, the lectures of University of Syiah Kuala gave their

research presentation in the seminar with the topic on geothermal. Following their

presentation was the research presentation from lecture of Institut Teknologi Bandung

which also emphasized on geothermal. This opportunity led to an upcoming

collaboration research program between University of Syiah Kuala and Institut Teknologi

Bandung in which the Memorandum of Agreement is still being prepared for both

parties. The collaborative research and educational activities will be established between

ITB and University of Syiah Kuala (Aceh), for supporting geothermal exploration and

development of Seulawah Agam geothermal field.

In addition, the contribution of geothermal industries such as PT Pertamina

Geothermal Energy, PT Medco Cahaya Geothermal, and Star Energy are highly

appreciated for their willingness to share about the geothermal development in their

areas. For example, PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy which develops Lahendong in

North Sulawesi was invited to give their presentation in the seminar in Manado therefore

many seminar participants mostly live in the village near Lahendong geothermal field can

have a better insight of geothermal development in their living area. While, PT Medco

Cahaya Geothermal which develops Ijen geothermal field in East Java was invited to

share their next plan of developing Ijen therefore more people who attended the seminar

in Surabaya can get the most recent story of activities conducted in Ijen geothermal field.

Similar experience also occurred in Aceh, when PT Pertamina as the developer of

Seulawah Agam geothermal field was invited to give their updates or recent status on

developing Seulawah Agam.

The seminar held by ITB-USAID-Star Energy-USC and other parties involved is one

of many ways to build a communication among universities, developers/industries,

local/central government, and local people who have interest in geothermal energy

development. Many questions or comments from lecturers, students, local government

or people regarding to geothermal development in their areas emerged in those seminars

which required answers from the invited speakers. This is a mean of communication, an

effective one of communication which involves people from different areas of

knowledge or background where they can share their ideas, thoughts, or information of

geothermal energy to many people and where people can learn from each other as well as

teach each other in a very warm discussion in the seminar.

The audience was of surprisingly very active in discussion, with encouragement in

delivering question or even suggestion for boosting geothermal development in

Indonesia. We also witnessed that many people came from miles away of the seminar

location, outside the city, to attend the seminars that were usually held in the capital city

of the province. Their spirits and motivations always encourage us as the committee of

the seminar to prepare the seminars at the best service for them by providing reliable

speakers and warm welcome.

It proves a lot that such a seminar are awaited by many people who want to get know

better about geothermal.

Almost 75% of the seminar participants are students. By educating them, we educate many people, because they can share their knowledge of geothermal to their family

and society, in the area where they live. In Manado, many students with their parents live in Tomohon, a village 25 km from Manado, where Lahendong geothermal field is

developed. It was said that students often help their parents understand potential geothermal energy in their area to avoid such a misleading information of geothermal

development.

TASK 5: SABBATICAL PROGRAM FROM ITB TO USC

Objectives:

Improve the quality of faculty through visiting scholars in strong partnership with other international institutions.

Plan:

In 2012, a faculty from ITB will visit USC for a short term (up to 3 months) sabbatical programs. Budget U$ 25k/year for one faculty per year.

Implementation:

This task will be carried over to2014 program due to the tight schedule in both parties.

Implementation:

This task was planned to be carried out several times during 2013. Dr. Mohammad Rachmat Sule from ITB, who has a specialty in microseismic method, was appointed to conduct sabbatical program in USC. Since Prof. Fred Aminzadeh is also geophysicist who developed ISC (Induced Seismicity Consortium) in USC, it is hoped that the joint technical cooperation between ITB and USC in the field of microseismic could be carried out in the future. The 1st visit was planned in March 2013, but unfortunately it must be canceled since Dr. Sule could not obtain US business Visa for that visit. The 2nd visit was planned in July 2013, but unfortunately it could not be carried out again due to Visa issue (Dr Sule received a delayed J-1 type of Visa, in which the sevis fee valid only for a short time), although Dr. Sule has used “service passport” and the exit permit from Indonesian government has been issued. The business visa that was applied in March 2013 was finally approved by the government of USA in December 2013, but Dr. Sule does not have any plan to conduct sabbatical program in the beginning of 2014.

TASK 8: GEOTHERMAL WELL AND DRILLING COURSE DEVELOPMENT

Objectives:

Improve skills in well design and drilling operation aspects for geothermal projects.

Plan:

Conduct a training titled “Geothermal Well Design and Drilling” with an objective to Improve skills in well design and drilling operation aspects for geothermal projects. This course is 5-days course, organized by ITB. Depends on drilling activity, his course may include a day field trip Geothermal Field. The course is scheduled during the second year of this program and will be held in Bandung.

The course will be offered to university staff members and not limited to professional participants. Number of participants funded through this program is around 15.

Implementation:

A. Course Development

Course Objectives:

Drilling technology in geothermal is adopted from oil and gas drilling technology. Most of geothermal wells are designed following the same principles as those used in oil and gas industry. Although geothermal reservoir is similar to oil/gas reservoir, but the facts show that there are distinctions that could not be marginalized in geothermal well design. The main challenges associated with geothermal drilling are related mostly to the hardness of igneous and metamorphic rocks being drilled, the high temperature of the formation (average temperature gradient for geothermal well is 12° - 13°F/100 ft or could be more) and the typically under-pressured strata. This course will address the basic steps required by the geothermal well construction team (drillers, engineers, geoscientists) to develop a robust geothermal well plan. This course is focused on the fundamental issues that must be addressed in the drilling plan and during well execution to insure safety and optimum performance. The course will deliver unmatched attention to early diagnostic trends of well problems and provide proactive preventive measures, a fundamental milestone to drilling optimization. The participants will walk away from this course carrying a solid understanding of drilling planning, optimum execution strategies, and well informed on safety issues throughout the geothermal well construction process. In addition, the participant will appreciate the importance of team building and communication in

Collaborative research and educational activities will be established between ITB and University of Syiah Kuala (Aceh), for supporting geothermal exploration and development of Seulawah Agam geothermal field. Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) is being prepared.

The unintended results or spillover have occurred toward achieving USAID’s Education Strategy in IR 2.2 (Strengthened Management of Targeted Higher Education Institutions), and IR 2.3 (Improved Teaching, Research, and Service at Targeted University Departments) under the partnership:

Kyushu University. A joint supervision for PhD research between the universities.

University of Auckland (New Zealand) and PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy for Master Degree program in Geothermal Technology

GRC (Geothermal Resources Council), USA for geothermal trainings.During ITB Geothermal Workshop 2013, GRC team gave additional training titled “Exploration Drilling and Early Stage Geothermal Reservoir Characterization”.This opened a huge opportunity for Indonesia to share in the immense experience in USA of geothermal exploitation.

The participants of “Train the Trainers” and “Geothermal Seminar” help inform other people to be more aware about the activities of the geothermal exploration and exploitation. It is expected that geothermal industries get more support from the community to develop geothermal fields in their area.

Lesson Learned from the partnership that may be replicated in future programs based on its sustainability in curriculum development, research services, publications, public/private partnerships, and possibilities for engagement with other partners (government, NGO, or private sector) at the end of the award

The collaboration between universities and industries should be seen as beneficial asset for the future plan to prepare Indonesia human resources and to strengthen their capability for reaching a robus geothermal development target. The potential to enhance this cooperation with industry will significantly benefit future geothermal training in Indonesia, particularly to provide essential practical experience.

Lessons learned that can be replicated in future programs are:

Geothermal Seminar. It is a mean of communication which involve people from different area of knowledge or background where they can share their ideas and thoughts and information. Number of participants should not be limited to one hundreds people and it should be conducted in other provinces such as Semarang, Yogyakarta, Medan, Bali and east part of Indonesia

Scholarship. Funding should not be limited for tuition fee, books, intership, but it also should cover living cost and research funding.

Train the trainers program. It should cover more people with different background, i.e NGO, technician level, local people.

Funding should be available for attending International Conference/Workshop, for both lecturers and students.
