JAKARTA, JurnalPost.com — The Human Resources Development Center for Oil and Gas (PPSDM Migas) is holding technical training for PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) personnel to enhance instrumentation supervision competencies in the upstream oil and gas sector.
The training, titled Instrumentation at the Supervisor Level, took place in Jakarta from 9–13 November 2026. This activity is part of an effort to strengthen industrial equipment reliability while improving workplace safety standards within oil and gas operations.
Over three days, from 9–11 November 2026, participants engaged in classroom technical learning. The series of activities is scheduled to continue with a competency certification exam from 12–13 November 2026.
The program is designed to equip PHR personnel with the technical and supervisory skills required to manage industrial instrumentation systems, particularly equipment that plays a role in controlling oil and gas production processes.
Supervisors Equipped with Technical and Maintenance Skills
PPSDM Migas instructor Arsyadi Hidayat explained that the training focuses not only on theoretical understanding but also on the participants' ability to handle technical issues that may arise during operations.
According to him, instrumentation supervisors have a vital responsibility in ensuring that all measurement and control equipment functions according to operational requirements.
"Participants are equipped with technical material for supervisors, ranging from an understanding of tools and measuring instruments, instrument drawing, control valves, and controllers, to mastery of measurement and transmitters. Additionally, participants are trained in troubleshooting and the application of effective maintenance management to keep oil and gas industrial equipment performance optimal," said Arsyadi Hidayat.
The material covers various interrelated aspects of operating oil and gas facilities. Understanding measuring instruments and instrument drawings, for example, is necessary so that supervisors can read system configurations and understand the function of each component.
Meanwhile, mastery of control valves, controllers, and transmitters is a crucial part of ensuring that control processes run according to established parameters.
Participants also received training on troubleshooting . This ability is necessary to help identify the source of problems in instrumentation equipment before disturbances develop into larger operational issues.
Equipment Reliability a Priority
In the upstream oil and gas industry, instrumentation systems play a role in monitoring various process parameters, such as pressure, temperature, flow, and equipment operating conditions.
When measurement or control systems experience disturbances, operational processes can be affected. Therefore, the ability of personnel to perform supervision and ensure the implementation of maintenance is an important part of production facility management.
This training also focuses on maintenance management. Through this material, participants are expected to understand the importance of planning, executing, and evaluating equipment maintenance in a structured manner.
This approach is not only related to efforts to keep equipment functioning but also supports operational efficiency and the implementation of workplace safety.
After completing the training, participants are scheduled to undergo a competency certification exam. This stage serves as an assessment of the participants' abilities based on applicable competency standards.
Thus, competency improvement is carried out not only through classroom learning but also through an examination process to assess the mastery of skills required on the job.
PPSDM Migas Hopes for Continued Cooperation
Arsyadi also expressed his appreciation for the trust PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan has placed in PPSDM Migas to organize workforce competency development programs.
He hopes that the cooperative relationship between the two parties can continue to be strengthened, especially to meet the industry's need for a workforce with measurable technical skills and competencies.
"We hope that the collaboration between PPSDM Migas and PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan can become even closer in the future. This synergy is important to continue maintaining the quality of a competent, certified oil and gas industry workforce that is ready to support national energy security," he added.
The human resource development cooperation between PPSDM Migas and PHR is not the first of its kind. Both parties have previously conducted training and certification programs for a number of technical fields related to upstream oil and gas industry operations.
Through the implementation of sustainable programs, the need for workforce skill improvement is expected to keep pace with technological developments, operational procedures, and workplace safety demands.
For PHR, strengthening the competence of instrumentation supervisors is expected to provide direct benefits to facility management and equipment supervision in the field.
Meanwhile, for PPSDM Migas, this activity is part of its role in supporting the provision of a competent oil and gas workforce through education, training, and certification.
The program, which runs until 13 November 2026, is expected to help participants apply the knowledge and skills acquired to improve equipment reliability, maintenance effectiveness, and operational safety within the PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan environment.
