From 17 to 23 September, 2012 the Professional Master of
Engineering in Geo-Exploration and Petroleum Geo-Engineering (PME-GEPG) program
has taken his students to South Korea on an internship trip as part of the
study program under the lead of Dr. Pham Huy Giao,
the program coordinator. During the one-week long trip, the students could have
opportunity to attend the First International Symposium organized by the Korean
Society of Earth and Exploration Geophysicists (KSEG on "Geophysics
for Discovery and Exploration", which was held at the
International Convention Center (ICC) of Jeju Island,
on 19-21 September, 2012. Three technical papers of the PME-GEPG programs were
selected to be presented at the symposium with one of them being shown off by a
student, Mr. Le Anh Tuan, on the topic of “Assessment of the Effect of Gas
Saturation on Seismic Data Using 2D AVO Forward Modeling”

The participation of the PME-GEPG professor and students
into the KSEG symposium was highly appreciated by Prof. Ki Young Kim, KSEG
President and Dr. Mutaek Lim, Chairman of the KSEG Symposium Organization Committee.

At the symposium, students were provided a valuable opportunity
to meet and develop a networking with professional colleagues from many
countries. Furthermore, this was a rare opportunity to enjoy Jeju Island,
registered as a World Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO, with its unique cultural
heritage, spectacular landscapes, and pure air of a Korean autumn.
Immediately after the symposium the group was heading to
Daejon, the well-known science and technology hub of South
Korea, where Korean Institute of Geology & Minerals
(KIGAM) and Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) co-organized a joint seminar
for their graduate students from AIT and
UST (University
of Science and
Technology). This venture was coordinated by Dr. Giao of AIT and Dr. Seonghyung
Jang, Director of Petroleum and Marine Information Research Center of KIGAM, also
an adjunct faculty member of the PME-GEPG program at AIT-VN, in HCM City
since 2010.

Huy Hien, an alumnus of both AIT and UST, who has played a good role in
bridging two universities.
Note: Dr. Jang is
the 7th from both left.
On 21st September, 2012 a total of 10 research
proposals from AIT students and 6 research progress reports from UST students
were presented with different interesting topics in G&G, reservoir
engineering and CO2 capture & storage. The program of the
seminar can be seen in the appendix at the end of this article. The successful
half-day seminar continued into a memorable dinner hosted by KIGAM at a
traditional Korean restaurant with lively discussions and of course funny
stories told by both sides. The night has peaked in a competition between three
gentlemen for a beauty of PME-GEPG as seen in the below picture.

Won Jeong from KIGAM (first from left), Doan Huy Hien from Fair Field Vietnam
(second from right) and Nguyen Van Trieu from TL-TS JOC (first from right) had
entered a non-compromising drinking competition to win the heart of charming Van.
Despite having not yet got any PhD degree like the other two candidates, Trieu
has fought very bravely. That seemed to be just the start of a long battle and
we hope a worthy winner will come out of these three gentlemen in future. Good
luck to all of them.
The day after the seminar, the group had a nice
sight-seeing trip around Daejon City, which is located in the heart of Korea
and is at the crossroads of national rail and road transport routes.
Relieved
after the exam proposals in the heart of Daejon
Impression on the very KIGAM: with over 80 years of
operation, KIGAM has grown from a geological survey for geological mapping and
mineral resources exploration into a comprehensive geoscience research
institute of world’s caliber. The tour of the-state-of-the-art research
facilities of KIGAM, e.g., Seismic Data Processing Lab, Gas Hydrate Lab, Earthquake Center and Geological Museum,
had created a strong impact on the visitors from AIT.
Thank you and see
you again, KIGAM
