Friday October 30, 2020 The Magneto-Telluric (MT) survey on geothermal exploration is mandatory like seismic in the oil and gas industry and MT method is mandatory in geothermal detailed survey in Indonesia. In the exploration stage (even in the development stage), geophysics is the most important surface method used to image the subsurface physical parameters associated with a geothermal system. MT imaging is the most powerful technology to define the top of reservoir, delineate the geometry of reservoir and determine well target zones. Many wells have been drilled on the basis of the MT resistivity guidance to the target zones.…

Monday October 26, 2020 Mount Tangkuban Perahu is located in West Java Province between Bandung and Subang cities, among its manifestations are including craters, fumaroles, steaming ground, silica sinter, and hydrothermal alteration. West Java is a province with the largest geothermal potential in Indonesia, which is around 5.4 GW, equivalent to 20% of the national potential. From 2.1 GW geothermal installed capacity, there are 1.2 GW which are produced in West Java from 7 fields, namely: Kamojang, Darajat, Awibengkok Salak, Wayang Windu, Patuha, and Karaha Bodas. In 2017 the government assigned PLN to manage the Tangkuban Parahu WKP and was…

Wednesday October 21, 2020 After the success of the inaugural webinar with Prof. Hochstein, NQ Academy will organize the 2nd NQ Academy Webinar with theme “MT vs Drilling: Valuable Experience from Geothermal Exploration in Indonesia”. The webinar will be scheduled on October 24th, 2020 using the zoom platform and will present a speaker, Dr. Yunus Daud (Founder of NewQuest Geotechnology). This topic is very interesting, because it will discuss experiences and lessons learned about the application of MT technology in geothermal exploration. Many geothermal fields have been drilled on the basis of MT technology guidance. MT can be used to…

In his message, Dr. Yunus emphasized that NQ Academy will collaborate and be open with anyone and any party to advance Indonesia’s geothermal industry, especially in developing human resources. The webinar present Prof. Manfred P Hochstein, Founder of Geothermal Institute, The University…

Wednesday August 26, 2020 Geological Mapping Gravity Survey MT Survey Sumur B1 Tulehu WKP is one of the 21 Old WKPs established since Pres.Dec (PD) No. 6/1974 PERTAMINA to develop geothermal until the 90s. PLN started managing the Tulehu WKP in 1993, exploration in early 1994. In 2009, PLN Geothermal conducted a re-study of the geothermal working area in Tulehu and decided to continue exploration in December 2010 by drilling 1 exploration well TLU-01, despite having encountered problems, the drilling results of TLU-01 confirmed the existence of high-permeability reservoir. Moreover, many data indicated that the reservoir temperature exceeds 200oC from…

Monday, 17 July 2017 PT NewQuest Geotechnology as a geothermal exploration services company welcome the release of Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation (Permen ESDM Nomor 36 Tahun 2017) regarding on The Procedures of Preliminary Survey Assignment and Preliminary Survey Assignment & Exploration (PSP and PSPE) for Geothermal. Hopefully, the regulation could increase the development of geothermal energy in Indonesia. PT NewQuest Geotechnology has experiences on PSP project in many areas. Among 11 PSP Areas registered on the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, there are 9 PSP areas which are conducted by PT NewQuest Geotechnology, namely Tandikat-Singgalang Area…

Monday, 5 February 2017 PT. NewQuest Geotechnology held a Gravity Modeling Workshop on Thursday, February 2nd, 2017. Located at the Laboratory of Computer, Department of Physics, FMIPA UI, this workshop was participated by 31 undergraduate and graduate students who are running for thesis. Gravity Modeling Workshop as a real support from PT. NewQuest Geotechnology on developing the competence of students in the geothermal field. The ability of gravity data modeling is very important to be mastered by graduates of geophysics, especially for those who are in the geothermal. This modeling is useful for viewing subsurface structures by gravity method. Before…
