On Wednesday 3rd August 2022, the Faculty of Engineering at UIR visited the Integrated Optimisation Decision Support Center (IODSC) in Minas, Riau, which is one of the facilities in the Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) Working Area (WK) Rokan.
Dr. Mursidah, M.Sc, Vice Dean 1 of the Faculty of Engineering at UIR, along with the Head of the Study Program and other lecturers, received a presentation on PHR’s work plan. The plan includes promoting various technological breakthroughs and digitalisation, such as steamflood, waterflood, Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (CEOR), and the establishment of an operation control centre and big data processing.
The information from this working visit concerns the development of information technology used by colleagues at IODSC Minas. The focus is on strengthening processing control and the development of big data, which can be completed in seconds to minutes, enabling quick and accurate decision-making in the field.
To minimize the information technology gap between the industrial community (DUDI) and the academic community, it is important to have a good harmonization. It was explained that proficiency in information technology is necessary for various graduate profiles to enable work collaboration.
This visit aims to provide insight and perspective on the national vital object (obvitnas) of the oil and gas industry as a strategic asset that must be maintained for the benefit of the nation.
