An awardee of SEG/Chevron SLS 2017: The Second Day Student Leadership Symposium

By Widia Anggraeni - September 24, 2019



I was going early to get my nametag at the convention then going to Hilton Americas. I walked alone, hope nothing bad happened because this was a strange place for me and many homeless (afraid if got robbed hehe). I met some SLS awardee during my way, had some talk and I said that I went to convention first. After printing my nametag going to the first level to get the kits, and met Tanisa and Feng, so we were taking a picture in front of iconic Houston wallpaper “rocket”. Then we were heading to Hilton Americas! Wow, there’s a board before the entrance, so every participant should be writing their name.. cool!

Well, the table just reset, so I looked for where my name put in, si Dave warmly said using Bahasa Indonesia “Selamat Pagi”
I was surprised “Pagi” (remember that Chevron has field in Sumatra)
He added and pointed my seat “your name in here” 
 “Thank you, Dave”
By the way, He knows Bahasa because he used to live in Sumatra, Riau exactly. [wah seneng si disapa pake bahasa :)) when you were waking up and open my eyes have to speak English and all day gitukan, kadang kalo rame gitu sama anak indo juga English kan]

I was so happy that I found a piece of paper about my Student Chapter Ranking, did you know what’s my Chapter ranking??
SUMMIT RANK!

Splendid! So glad, so proud of my SEG SC Unila Team! Thank you team, we’re done a great work to be awarded Summit Rank!! [Senenggg bangettttttt… kayak ga sia-sia gitu tiap bulan bikin kegiatan.. terharuuu tim udah sejauh ini dan semua luar biasaaa terharuu]

Getting Full breakfast buffet, long line to get an omelet, I had been hungry, so I grabbed some bread, fruit, and juice for my breakfast, Surprisingly in a table with my roommate Rimal!

Welcome the second day of SEG/Chevron SLS!
For all Student Chapter who awarded Summit Rank, stand up, please.. [Duhhh bangga deh, yakan Summit Ranknya cuma 13 SCs dan ga semua dateng SLS kan.. senengggg bangettt SC dapet Summit]
after welcoming by Chevron representatives, it’s time to go on group Student Chapter Presentation.. all of their presentations were cool! Then, to be on my turn to present it in front of Chevron representative and Group 4 [Dag dig dug donk gue 4 terakhir nih presentasinyaa] I explain about various programs held by SEG SC Unila, some of them was outreach program too, they were noticing an unique term for “SOS – Solidarity of SEG SC Unila” I explained that we have 2D 1N event at the beach or park for intimating our teamwork, we also held bbq and they were so curious how to set a fire [waduh bingung gue jawabnya lol, mereka kagak maenan kayak kita yang penting ada korek cuy, cari kayu bakar idupin api kelar deh itu bakar ikan.. satu lagi di Indo kagak ada itu larangan bakar2 dihutan wkwkwk].
Move to another side of poster, I put my personal research which is the bachelor research that I conducted in PetroChina Jabung with the topic was AVO and Simultaneous Inversion.

“[Sebenernya mereka agak ga excited gitu ama presentasi anak s1, yaeya si kan di luar s1nya ga ada skripsi kan… jadi yang orang chevronnya nanya nya itu, “did you conduct the research on company?” “yes” udah gitu doank donk, terus ada si yang nanya si anak S3 King Fahd “did you calculate the petrophysical data by yourself?” “No I didn’t, I got secondary data from petrophysicist” “it will be good if you could do it by yourself” Sumpah kan emang penelitian anak s1 tuh kayak cuma remukan peyek donk.. nah kalo liat-liat presentasinya si anak2 yang master dan PhD sumpah itu researchnya jadi topic yang seru banget buat diskusi… Huhuhu yaaaa gue mah yaaaa apa yaaaa T_T Cuma TA yang klikklik software dan ga bisa apapapa]”

After the presentation finished we took some pictures of our group using the phone [ini kayaknya pada foto karena gue yang heboh minta poto wkwkwk] finally the photographer was also taking us a picture! Group 4 rameee deh wkwkwk.. This is one of our fun after the group presentation :

Then, all the participants gathered in stair and had a picture! At first, the photographer asked “short” of course I am to be at the top. Did you know what? Gue ketilep donk, and the photographer noticed that I couldn’t see on the camera “that girl” and I was raising my hand and answering “me! me!” [kasian banget ga si guee ketilep ama bule2 genter]. Then, He said to us for coming down and stand on the first line, while walking down I said “I am the shortest, this is why I should be on the first line” [mereka pada ngekek bahkan ada yang nepok gue wkwkwk wid wid luhup elo ini]. Then I posed on the first line! WKWKWKWK
Yeah, it was awesome!! And our picture was updated on SEG Fanspage, Cool! Share it into my FB timeline lol.. IT’S STUPENDOUS MET YOU ALL!

The next agenda was Team Building Activity with Chevron, there were 2 parts the first teamwork for the bidding best choice for transportation to Galveston, TX. The second was Plan of Development, all groups have to decided what should we do and bidding for drilling well purposed. In the end, the best answer would be the winner and get the prize from SEG!
Congratulations you have done great team! [disini gue sedih sii.. jadi gue yang nelaah logatnya lama dan gue mikirnya ga secepet mereka T_T ya gimana si kalo gue sarjana sendiri dan yang satunya tapi sarjana minyak yg emang tau banget.. lha gue kagak tau apa-apaaa.. Sediiihhh… ga pantes banget disiniiii T_T.. Stop Wid, don’t think it too much, let it be and take a learn for more study hard].

[Working lunch, sandwich gitu.. itu gede banget si sepiring gitu, ada apel sama kripik gitu.. gue pilih yang sapi, soalnya yang vegan cuma buat yang vegan.. namanya gue laper yaaa.. yaudah gue makan meskipun rasanya gada rasa dan habis 2/3 donk hahaha.. Prinsip: makan semua yang ada Widia, jangan pilih-pilih (asal ga b2 yaa hihi), mahalll klo elo mau makan di luar wkwkwk]

Then all of them re-presenting their poster to all presentation. Congratulations on the best winners!

We lined as we preparing for the commencement day, and get the “SEG/Chevron SLS Graduate” [during lining, we talked and tried to pronounce our name, most people wrong called my name and told it to them how to pronounce it, and learned from their name too “wcynz” such that, eastern Europe has many consonant and consonant words..

We had a 10th Anniversary Celebration Cake!


We had a superb talk, experience and time during SLS! Wonderful have met them all.. We got some kits from SEG and Chevron, Playable Clay, Binder Clips, and Squishy.. Thank SEG!!

Here our picture before heading to George R Brown Convention! Me and my roommate – Rimal Bhat


Enjoying the walk along the Dallas St. and the windy day [Still unbelievable that I steping my feet in here J Disini jam 6 itu masih kayak jam 4 sore, solanya magribnya jam 8an kurang gitu hehe jadi emang siang harinya itu panjang gitu yaa.. masih kayak ga percaya, beda banget gitu auranya disini J]

We have a drink ticket haha! tbh all of them were casual donk, I and my roommate dress up like we’re going to the party lol and a guy admired my dress.. [ekspresi mukanya itu kayak orang kagum gitu lhoo dari atas kebawah ngeliatin gue dan bilang “you look so beautiful with that dress up and your flowerly headscarf” aduh aku meleleeeehhh niiiiii uuu meleeeleeeeh hayaatiii.. kan emang orang2 barat kan emang pada jujur, kalo suka ya mengapresiasi banget, klo ga suka ya ngomong ga suka.. ga kayak warga negara +62 wkwkwk]
We met some SLS Grantees, Grabbing some food, talking and rounding around convention, I was joining with Agra and Tanisa and Feng [ada snack kayak risole isi cream + japaleno gitu, terus dibilang “be careful, it’s very spicy”, then I and agra stared at each other.. “emang pedes?” “engga sama sekaliii” mereka baik ngasih tau yaa.. biasa mereka kan ga makan cabe kayak kite yeekan.. btw kita split dan temen sekamar gabung ke gengnya, ya abis kan kita alimm ga minum gitu ahahaha..]

We were getting around the exposition and finally we were thirsty, dominated by beer and wine, we were wondering there’s coke or not, and the bartender was so kind and giving us some coke [colanya sebenernya kayak buat campuran gitu, dan gada aer putih donk.. dan cola disini itu strong gitu ga kayak di Indo, hmm tapi yaa begini resiko minoritas muslim sii yaaa]

Enjoying ice breaker, then stopping by SEG Student booth there’s Kathryn with her polaroid, taking a picture and tagged as where you from Indonesian and pinned to the SEG World Connecting wall.. here is this…. Thanks for a nice capture, Kathryn!

We had a great evening, spending evening and seeing on the light art and fountain around Convention Center.. [pokoknya rasanya bahagia bangetttt.. atmosfirnya beda bangett.. namanya juga pertama kali pasti membekas dan ga akan terlupakan :)) ]
