/in /by

The objective of this study is to assess the impact of employing Microbacter Alfaafa-11 MA-11 and organic fertilizer on the yield and quality of the F9 rice variety resulting from the crossbreeding of sigupai with IRBB27. The research was conducted at the Saree State Vocational School-PP located in the Lembah Seulawah District of Aceh Besar Regency. The physical and chemical parameters of rice were analyzed at the Seed Science and Technology Laboratory and Plant Physiology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Syiah Kuala University, between February 2023 and August 2023. This study employed a factorial Randomized Group Design (RAK) with 12 treatment combinations. Each treatment had 3 replications, and each replication consisted of 3 pots. Therefore, there were a total of 36 experimental units. The variables in this study include the initial factor: the concentration treatment of Microbacter Alfaafa-11 (MA-11) (A), which is divided into 4 levels: A0 (with no MA-11), A1 (0.05 ml MA-11 per 2.50 ml water), A2 (0.1 ml MA-11 per 2.50 ml water), A3 (0.15 ml MA-11 per 2.50 ml water). The second factor is the application of organic fertilizer treatment, which includes two components: Super Bokashi Fertilizer dose and Biofarm concentration. This factor is divided into three levels: B1 Super Bokashi (10 t ha-1), B2 Biofarm (14-liter ha-1), and B3 Super Bokashi + Biofarm (10 t ha-1 + 14-liter ha-1). The observation criteria include agronomic factors such as harvest age, as well as rice quality tests that assess physical features such as yield rice, milled rice, rice dimensions, and chemical attributes such as water content and protein content. The findings indicated that the use of Microbacter Alfaafa-11 MA-11 and organic fertilizer did not have any notable impact on the harvest age and rice quality parameters of the F9 line resulting from the crossbreeding of sigupai with IRBB27. The maximum rice yield achieved a percentage of 74.98%, with the average being slender rice. The water content ranged from 14.00% to 15.80%, while the highest protein level reached 6.93.

/in /by

The purpose of the study was to determine the profile of beef cattle farmers in Sumenep District and to determine the economic activities of beef cattle farming in Sumenep District before and during climate change which includes the ease of selling beef cattle, selling prices, and business profits. The research was conducted using a survey method with sampling techniques using purposive sampling with the criteria of farmers who have been doing beef cattle farming for at least two years with active livestock groups and have a minimum of two years of farming experience. Farmers who were used as respondents amounted to 150 respondents. The analysis used is descriptive with mode measurement or the most frequently occurring value. The results showed that beef cattle farmers in Sumenep district mostly have three beef cattle on their farms (65% or 97 people). Most respondents were between 15 and 64 years old (83%), had primary school education (36%) and had the most farming experience in the 20 to 30 years age range (42%). A total of 35% of respondents had three family members. Before climate change, farmers found it easy to sell their products, the selling price was good and it was easy to make a profit. Whereas during climate change, farmers found it difficult to sell their products, selling prices were lower and it was difficult to make a profit.

Petrophysics of Low Resistivity Reservoir

/in /by

Low resistivity reservoirs have long been known in the oil and gas industry as reservoirs that have significant potential and contribution to oil and gas production. This reservoir is very unique because of its relatively low resistivity readings (< 5 Ohm) and often other log responses do not show the way carbonate-containing reservoirs do, so they are often overlooked and not considered as potential carbon reservoirs. The low resistivity reading also causes the Water Saturation (Sw) value to be too high, which contributes to why the reservoir is overlooked. Theoretically, the factors that cause low resistivity readings are high clay/shale content, fine grain size, high salinity air formation, presence of microporosity and presence of conductive minerals which affect resistivity log readings in addition to other things such as low structured reservoirs. and there is a significant slope of the layers.  Based on statistic reports, generally in low resistivity reservoirs there is a combination of two or more of the causal factors mentioned.

This study aims to identify the characteristics of low resistivity reservoirs in the Upper Cibulakan Formation, West Java Basin, especially from log readings and recognition of what factors support reservoir formation both from the results of core and log analysis as well as selecting combinations for calculating water saturation. From the low resistivity reservoir characteristics, it is hoped that it can be used to find and identify the distribution of similar reservoirs so that potential reservoirs that have been overlooked so far can be identified, discovered and developed which in the end are expected to provide additional contributions both in terms of education and for the oil and gas industry in finding new reserves for oil and gas production in Indonesia.
