Sincerely your, IKATAN AHLI GEOLOGI INDONESIA [IAGI] Indonesian Association of Geologists, Secretariat, S.Chandrahayat ======== Petroleum Geology of the East Java Basin : A Dynamic Review (pre-convention one-day course of PIT 31 IAGI, Surabaya 30 September 2002) Awang H. Satyana (Exploration Dept. of Badan Pelaksana Pengusahaan Hulu Migas) ABSTRACT East Java Basin is unique in its history. It is one of the earliest basins in Indonesia to start being explored in the late 1800s. The basin has produced oil and gas for 114 years and been explored for 130 years. However, eventoday, the basin is still very attractive for exploration. Big oil and gas discoveries up to the scale of giant field still occur in this basin. Currently, the basin is a "hot spot" in Indonesia with new bigoil and gas discoveries are reported continually. Refinement of the petroleum geology of the basin has backed these discoveries. Located at the southeastern margin of the Sundaland, the East Java Basin has recorded an active geodynamic history. The basin developed from an oceanic basin in front of the Late Cretaceous subduction zone to presently a backarc basin behind the volcanic arc. The basin overlies the transitional crust accreted to the Sundaland. The basin was segmented into a number of horsts and grabens that facilitated the deposition of the Paleogene synrift and postrift sediments as well as the carbonate development. Inversion history starting in the Neogene has posted significant changes in the geology of the basin. Coarse siliciclastic sediments were deposited in the transition period. The rising southern volcanic arc has made the East Java Basin to be an asymmetric foreland basin. Plio-Pleistocene volcano-clastic sediments dominated the southern basin while coeval carbonates growing on the isostatic forebulge developed to the north. The basin's Neogene history has become more complicated by the activities of a major wrench fault zone called the Rembang-Madura-Kangean or Sakala Fault which transversally cuts the basin right into two parts. The basin's dynamic tectonics, structure, and stratigraphy influence the petroleum system. Hydrocarbons have been discovered from the Eocene to the Pleistocene sandstones, carbonates, and volcano-clastics. The mature sources are available from the pre-Eocene to the early Miocene shales and coals. The traps are various from the classic four-way anticlines through reefal build-ups to deepwater stratigraphic plays. The course offers a dynamic review of the East Java Basin. It discusses : the unique exploration history of the basin, the dynamic tectonics, structure, and stratigraphy, the last-updated discoveries, the habitat of oil and gas, the dynamic petroleum system, and the future potential. The course also discusses the controversial geologic issues remaining unagreed among the earth scientists. A dynamic review will sustain exploration optimism in this prolific basin. BIOGRAPHY Awang Harun Satyana graduated from the Geology Department of Padjadjaran University, Bandung in 1989. He has been working for Pertamina since 1990 and was assigned as exploration geologist responsible for Kalimantan and Eastern Indonesia up to 2000. Since the end of 2000, he has been working at Pertamina Management of Production Sharing - now Badan Pelaksana Pengusahaan Hulu Migas as Sr. Review/Regional Geologist responsible for evaluation of exploration wells proposed by the contractors for all parts of Indonesia from Sumatra to Papua. In the last two years, he has specially reviewed the East Java. He actively contributes scientific papers. There have been 45 papers he has written, 30 of which were published in both national and international journals. Some of his papers were given awards. He focuses his papers on regional geology, structure, geochemistry, petroleum sysem, basin analysis, carbonate sedimentology, and petrophysics. He is an active member of the IAGI, IPA, FOSI, and AAPG. DATE : Monday, September 30, 2002 VENUE : Shangri-La Hotel, Jl. Mayjen.
