BANDUNG, itb.ac.id -- Society of Petroleum Engineer Student Chapter ITB (SPE SC ITB) held a Field Trip to Total Energy Jakarta office  on Wednesdat (28/11/12) with 46 participants. Most of them were Petroleum Engineering students but some other were from other study programs such as Chemical Engineering, Geodesy and Geomatics, Geological Engineering, and Industrial Engineering.

This was the second field trip held by SPE SC ITB in 2012. "Now the number of participants are larger," said Rezza (Petroleum Engineering 2009), Head of SPE SC ITB Field Trip Division. The group departed from ITB to Jakarta by bus at 03.00 AM. Arrived in Jakarta, the participants were welcomed with presentation about Total Energy's projects, human resource management, and internship opportunities in Total Energy.

Interviewed by Kantor Berita ITB, Rezza explained that the purpose of the field trip was to maintain a close relationship with companies related to petroleum engineering. Rezza hoped that next time they'd be able to visit a company's site so the activity could serve the name 'Field Trip'. Therefore he planned to visit Chevron Geothermal in Mount Salak, Bogor, for the next field trip.
