In addressing the increasingly complex challenges of the energy industry, OGRINDO ITB is supported by researchers with strong academic competence and relevant industry experience. One of them is Wijoyo Niti Daton, S.T., M.T., who serves as a Senior Researcher with a focus on petroleum production system and reservoir simulation.
Educational Background
Wijoyo Niti Daton, S.T., M.T. pursued his Bachelor’s degree (S.T.) in Electrical Engineering at Maranatha Christian University in 2006. He then continued his Master’s degree (M.T.) in Petroleum Engineering at Institut Teknologi Bandung and completed it in 2012 with a thesis titled FOI Determination using Effective Wellbore Radius.
This academic journey established a unique scientific foundation, combining electrical engineering approaches with reservoir analysis and petroleum production systems.
Career Journey and Project Experience
His career journey reflects a strong combination of academic and industry experience. He began as an Electrical Engineer (internee), then developed into a Lab Supervisor and lecturer, before entering the industry as a Wireline EngineerSince 2011, he has been actively working as a Petroleum Engineering consultant at LAPI ITB and continues contributing to academia as a lecturer at Institut Teknologi Bandung since 2015. This experience has shaped a strong perspective in bridging theory and field implementation.
In various strategic projects, Wijoyo Niti Daton has been involved in studies covering reservoir, production, and energy transition, including conceptual studies of CCS/CCUS and oil rim, evaluation of well integrity and CO₂ injection for the Abadi Field, simulation of Chemical EOR, as well as the development of smart well monitoring based on machine learning along with various GGR studies and reserve certification across multiple oil and gas fields. This involvement demonstrates the breadth of his technical exposure as well as his capability in addressing complex industry challenges.
Role at OGRINDO ITB
