Peter Rumaropen

Hello there, I'm Peter — a geological engineer.

I'm a fresh graduate of Geological Engineering, Universitas Trisakti with hands-on field experience in structural mapping, reservoir characterization, and mineral exploration. I've worked across petroleum, mining, and geotechnical contexts — combining rigorous field observation with quantitative analysis to support decision-making in resource and infrastructure projects.

Recommendations

  • "Peter shows strong technical depth — his thesis on Talang Akar reservoir characterization combined careful well log interpretation with practical seismic mapping. Rare combination of analytical rigor + field instinct for a fresh graduate."

    Dr. Ir. Suparman, M.T. | Thesis Advisor, Department of Geological Engineering Trisakti

    View Letter
  • "Self-directed and field-disciplined. Peter completed core logging assignments independently with minimal supervision — quality matched our regular junior geologist standard. Strong fundamentals in lithology + alteration interpretation."

    Hendra Wijaya, M.Sc. | Senior Exploration Geologist, PT Vale Indonesia

    View Letter
  • "One of the most disciplined interns we've had. Peter handled site investigation logbook + lab analysis end-to-end without rework. Strong attention to detail + willingness to learn beyond the assigned scope."
