One of the Government’s policy in the sectors of oil and gas are unconventional oil and gas concessions such as methane gas (CBM) coal and shale gas. If it is second to none can be optimized, then Indonesia will get additional gas in the amount that is reasonably passable.

As offered by the site   MINERAL RESOURCES, oil and gas Upstream Business Coaching Director Edi Hermantoro in seminars in LKBN Antara, Tuesday (3/12), put forward, from known seismic results that shale rock is in almost all regions of Indonesia. In the near future, the Government will soon perform mapping areas where shale rock reserves his most potential to be developed into gas shale.

Shale Gas is gas obtained from crushed shale rocks or the formation of gas.

In the u.s., shale gas has been developed since 2000 and in 2004 is expected to generate $ 16 BCF gas. Australia has also been developing shale gas and is expected to begin production in may 2015-2016.

Gas shale Edi explained, if it is economically not very developed in the Earth which is about 300-400 meters below the surface.

“If it’s not too deep, Ingeborg quite a week. Once finalized, Ingeborg. So it will take a lot of the cost, “said Shaikh.

Not much difference with CBM, the process required to transform the gas shale rock took about 5 years. For the initial stage, the Government will conduct a pilot project in the area that is considered to be potential.

Business entities engaged in oil and gas production activities, especially in the oil and gas upstream activities, have the ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions flare (flare gas fuels) by 30-60% per year in developing environmentally friendly oil and gas industry.

As offered by the site lemigas, Director of engineering and MINERAL RESOURCES and oil and gas Environment Suyartono in his book “the Environmental Safety of oil and gas”, flare gas reduction policy of 30-60% per year is an attempt to achieve zero flare in 2012 in accordance with the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 and has been ratified by Indonesia through Act No. 17 of 2004.

Related to this, the program zero flare up  in collaboration with the World Bank has conducted an inventory of the amount of flare gas fuels (gas flare) and CO2 venting (individual-clusters and possible today) generated by a business entity in the business activities of oil and gas.

“A study that aims to identify the potential for CO2 reduction in flaring activities and enhance national capacity and venting with improvements to the system of collecting and reporting data related to the operation of upstream natural gas in Indonesia,” he explained.

One of the implementation of policies to achieve those goals were minimize waste disposal membrane to the environment by way of doing reindeer to membrane well. This has already started to do in some of the oil and gas, including LNG project.

Flare system is the installation of which must be in every oil and gas industry. The process involves a dangerous gas and flammable gases so as to trigger the crash. Flare system is a protection system of gas comes out of the system process by means of burning gas that comes out before entering the atmosphere.

However, burning of flare system turned out to be one of the causes of global warming so that combustion is to be reduced.

In 2008, the volume of a gas flare Indonesia around 113 MMSCFD. Of that amount, approximately 109 UNIT came from oil and gas upstream activities and the rest of the downstream oil and gas activities. While according to the World Bank, in 2007 Indonesia have burned approximately 215 MMSCF and was eighth in the world 13. The burning of Indonesia, adding to about 12 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere and dispose of more than US $ 400 million each year.

Gas flares can also be utilized to meet energy needs. Head of BPMIGAS r. Priyono some time ago expressed, during the semester 1 2009 BPMIGAS managed to facilitate the signing and selling gas flares burn at some places. Among other things, the Field is given the total volume of the Sukowati BSCF with value by 35.7 per total sales of US $ 71.4 million over 6 years.

In addition, sales of gas flares burn was signed from the field in Papua of 17.5 Matoa BSCF with a total value of sales of US $ 25.9 million over 10 years.

Hemp fiber can be used as raw material for the manufacture of the gas tube. The results are stronger than the tubes of steel plates.

So the broadcast VOICE of the Ministry of SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY for research and technology, Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 at 08.00-09.00 am viewing the topic of Hemp Fiber Gas cylinder, interview by phone with speaker Prof. Tresna p. Soemardi, Professor of the University of Indonesia, Depok.

According to the hemp plant can arguably Tresna versatile, ranging from the apical leaves until the roots can be utilized for a variety of needs, it featured as a raw material for military uniforms, can be created so the stem is firewood, and its leaves can be as livestock feed.

Rests on it, Tresna P Soemardi, offering alternative solutions tick raw material gas cylinder which has a comparable force even better than the steel plate. Despite their greater power, material derived from natural fiber composite epoxy was designed with light as well as a fixed stainless. Natural fiber composite epoxy in addition to the more environmentally friendly can also be produced

“Hemp Plant is rich in fiber (plant bast). Flax plants boehmeria nivea named as latin is easy to grow and grow in the tropics, so the material easy to obtain in Indonesia is very rich. Flax plants perfectly suited developed in the western part of Indonesia which has a wet climate. ” Details on the grounds that plants require a fair amount of rainfall throughout the year.

Advantages of hemp fiber strength supporting Component is reaching levels of cellulose 45 to 53 percent, whereas lignin as a component of composite materials to the detriment of just 21-26 percent. Hemp mechanical properties of the plant has a power 1050 Mega Pascal (Mpa), young’s modulus Gpa, 61.5 density 1.5 to 1.6 grams/cm3 and fiber length 60-260 millimeters. The use of fibre flax crops as composite material based on the consideration of the material was not easily cracked, more powerful, and can dampen vibrations.

“When gas Lpg composite tube accommodated in flax fibers, epoxy between gas Lpg with composite chemical reaction will not take place because of the good properties of epoxy remunerate once to the durability of resin. Moreover, material Composite tubes are pastis. That is, at the moment given the huge burden of declining due to the nature of elasticity concentrations that exceed the limit of the material. The gas tube from the flax fiber is very light and resistant to rust, Eco-friendly, and more artistic. “explained Tresna at length.

Yet Tresna gives an account, the strength of a composite material is determined by the properties of pembentuknya materials. In addition the strength is also determined by the orientation angle and the thickness of the layer. If the strength of the fiber and matrix, there is a difference which is quite far away, doing so will cause the flax fiber and matrix broken.

“In the process of making composite, there is a failure it featured that could be caused by factors of processing errors. In order for composite fiber flax epoxy tube not scratched or hit with hard objects, it will be good coated sheet aluminum. Nevertheless, there is a lack of fiber flax, which could become a powder or powder or it could be subjected to corruption or destruction. Even in the long run could experience fragility. “

Honda cub type motorcycle or in Indonesia, better known as duck, first developed in Japan in 1957. The bike is now so popular in Asia, and arguably become the starting point of the motorcycle revolution in the world.

Starting a long journey and the many challenges already felt, first about the design and latest technology at that time. For example, 4-stroke OHV engine capacity 50cc engine it. Although only 4.5 Dk-powered, the machine becomes more breakthrough amid the many motorcycles that use 2-stroke engines at the time.

Not only that, Honda is also developing a centrifugal clutch so the driver can still control the bike with one hand. As reported by Realclassic, Tuesday, August 16, 2011, made ​​the reason of this technology, is to accommodate the needs of the food delivery restaurants in Japan that uses one hand to control the bike.

Log in February 1957 the development of body design is done. Soichiro Honda, founder of Honda is quite concerned design problem. Soichiro even advised to be made compact and comfortable design that fits with everyday life. One of the challenges of comfort is when Honda chose 17-inch rim. Wheel diameter was chosen because it was still a lot of streets in Japan are not yet paved.

The problem is there are no major tire manufacturers in Japan to make a special size just for one type of motorcycle. Fortunately, Honda found a supplier willing to make special sizes for Honda.

Finally in 1958, Duck Honda sold the first official mass with the name Super Cub C100, and sold 55 thousand yen. A year later this bike into the U.S. market and then followed in Europe in 1961. This genre also continues to this day. Even in Indonesia, the duck is still quite popular. From January to July 2010 alone has sold 2,050,656 units.

Entering the year 2011, we still feel the shadow of global financial crisis and its aftermath. Indonesia’s economic growth rate in 2009 was predicted to have slowed as a result of the crisis. In this situation, I would like to invite you to reflect and address the important role of insurance as one of the sectors support the social and economic activities of society.

Indirectly, your consciousness and activeness in the insured was instrumental in securing the financial risk families. In this case, the family is the smallest element of society that serves as a long-term fund mobilization drive in the form of insurance premiums. The accumulated funds were then funneled back into the economy through the capital market and money market. Furthermore, the funds used to meet the needs of the business sector and government in establishing the continuity of national development.

The impact of the global economic crisis has been felt by the industry in the country since late last year. A variety of export-oriented business start suffered badly due to declining demand. That said, there are several companies that are poised to propose a reduction scheme to the Department-related employment due to reduced production capacity. Although the Government continues to be as effective as possible to minimize the number of layoffs, a wave of layoffs seems to be a risk that continues to lurk in all of 2009.

In the capital markets sector, foreign investors poured far more money in the Indonesian capital market also began to withdraw funds return (capital outlflow). Perhaps, this is the impact of plunging oil prices and commodity mining and plantations, who would not want to hit the price of shares in companies involved in the sector. This situation continues with the disaster financial crisis that bankrupted Lehman Brothers, so the stock in the entire world experienced the shock.

Furthermore, various financial institutions collapsing and these conditions are forcing many countries issued a bail-out stance and stimulus. The condition of these ravaged countries of origin forcing investors to withdraw funds in foreign exchange to fill the liquidity position of a flat in their respective countries. This erratic conditions hit the Indonesian Stock Exchange index fell and reached its lowest level (1355) at the end of 2008 (tumbled 50%).

Indonesia’s economic crisis in mid-1997, which later became a great economic crisis, telha make Indonesia’s economy is suffering, such as daramatis rising prices, unemployment and inflation. Indonesia’s economy from a previous fall is one of the fast-growing economies into economic development is very slow. The impact of the economic crisis on the socio-economic aspects of national development plan is still there, and it will take a long time to fix the problems that occur due to the economic crisis.

Before the crisis, Indonesia’s economy has started to increase and establish an economic and financial situation improved. This makes the atmosphere became tense Indonesian law and make the rules that there is changing rapidly. Changes in banking regulations, bankruptcy, stock markets and foreign investment continues to follow the crisis until now. Legal reform in the field of commercial enterprise and is now being applied, while in the field of bankruptcy law reform and banking sector has gone through the process and not as seelumnya planned. These developments have stimulated the demand for a legal consulting services with specialization in the field of business.
