Mr. Chandra as maintenance superintendent at Total E & P Indonesie. He has a lot of experience with problems about platform and rig maintenance at Total E & P Indonesie.

The lecture have been held on 25th September 2016, took place at TNR Building Faculty of Mathematic and Natural Science and started at 09.00 a.m.with a welcome speech by project manager of Guest Lecture, Ridho Al-fathir. The event opened officially by Mr. Muhammad AltinMassinai as chairman of the geophysicsprogram study, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Hasanuddin and giving manythanks to Mr. Chandra as the lecturer, Mr.Konsep from Balikpapan Section, committee and all of audiences who was attended at the moment. Mr. Altin give an order to student to take the opportunity from this event as well the knowlede from Mr. Chandra and Mr. Konsep who was have many expreiences in oil and gas industry.

Mr. Sri Konsep Wicaksono from Balikpapan Section also give a speech at this moment. He introduceSociety of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and any programs of SPE especially SPE Balikpapan Section. Ambassador Lecturer Program (ALP) is one of routine programs fromSPE Balikpapan Section.This is a first ALPthat held by SPE Balikpapan Section through SPE Hasanuddin University SC. This event will continue at October and November 2016. Besides introducing of SPE, Mr. Konsep also discussing about the exploration and production of oil and gas in a simple way.

This event continue with a Presentation by Mr. Chandra as the lecturer. He start the presenation with giving 3 principal pointin Industry. First is safety, It is now front and center in the oil and gas industry. Small oversights can quickly spiral out of control and spark major, sometimes fatal accident. Second is quality, it meanwe must to do the best because the best results are created from the best effort. Third is time, it means, we must work efficiently, so that all of the allotted time can be used well. Mr. Chandra continues his material with talking about stages of oil and gas industry. In oil and gas industry we known 3 stage, there are construction, commissioning, and start up. On construction stage, he talking about how to installation facilities for the exploration, such us the installation of platform and rig at offshore. He also explain what the differences of platform and rig. Oil Platform is a simply a more specific for a particular type of oil rig, it is specificially designed as a stable base built upon a seabed to provide services/support for an oil well. Drilling rigs used for drilling and servicing an oil well, it may move to another place, Mr. Chandra said. Next stage is commissioning, he explain using a video. From the video, the audiences know that this stage is a complex process and take a lot time. And the last is start up,it is the most decisive and exciting stage for the industry because on this stage we can see the exploration is success (start to uplift hydrocarbon to the surface) or failed.

At the end of the presentation, Mr. Chandra said that in oil and gas industry engage professionals from various background and expertise. So, we should be able to blend and work in a team. Furthermore, he said that accuracy when we are work is the main factor in this industry. Finally, after the question and answer session, this event (guest lecturer of SPE Unhas SC) was ended by giving plaque to Mr. Chandra Irawan from Mr. Konsep as Young Professional of SPE Balikpapan Section and also from SPE Unhas SC represented by Ridho as project Manager of Guest Lecture SPE Unhas SC at 11.00 a.m.

Thank's To Mr. Chandra Irawan as the Speaker and Mr. Sri Konsep Wicaksono, and also many thank's to Geophysics Study Progran Hasanuddin University
