4 Simandjuntak and Barber (1996)

5 SUMATRA MAJOR TECTONIC ELEMENTS The Sunda Shelf borders the back arc basin to the east Asahan Arch, Bukit Tigapuluh Mountains and Lampung High partitions the back-arc basins The Bukit Barisan Range : Neogene Magmatic arc, separates the back-arc basins from West Sumatra forearc basins The Outer Arc Islands : accretion wedges The Sumatra trench: an oblique subduction zone

6 SUMATRA BACK ARC BASIN MODEL Koesoemadinata (2006)

7 Sumatra Pre-Tertiary Basement Pre Tertiary rocks are exposed in the Barisan Range, Tigapuluh Mountains and Lampung High. Sumatra Pre-Tertiary rocks have been analyzed into separate terranes consisting of : highly tectonized Paleozoic and Mesozoic terranes Paleozoic to Mesozoic intrusive rocks Melange (ophiolitic rocks). Pre-Tertiary terranes are interpreted as a collage of Asian and Gondwanan microcontinents.

8 Microplate boundaries Pertamina and Beicip (1985)

9 SUMATRA TERTIARY BASINS Back-arc and partly fore-arc basins are underlain by continental crust. The magmatic arc, Barisan Range, uplifted Pre-Tertiary rocks forms border to the basins. Paleogene rift basins extend from back-arc to fore-arc basins across the Bukit Barisan. Volcanism is limited to Paleogene (in the Southwest) and Plio-Pleistocene. The presence of the Great Trans-Sumatra wrench fault (Semangko Fault) along the Bukit Barisan.

11 North Sumatra Basin Central Sumatra Basin South Sumatra Basin Sedimentary basins of Sumatra

12 Stratigraphy of Sumatra back-arc basins Samuel and Gultom (1986)

13 Sumatra Tectono-Stratigraphic System From top to base : Syn-orogenic deposition in a back-arc basin : regressive (Mid-Miocene-Recent) rising Barisan Range clastic source Post-rift deposition in a shelfal basin : transgressive (Early Miocene) Sundaland clastics source and carbonates Syn-rift deposition in active rift-valley basins : one or more rift phases (?Eocene-Oligocene) local clastic source

14 Sumatra Major Fault System THE TRANS SUMATRA STRIKE-SLIP FAULT SYSTEM : active since Early Tertiary times THE PALEOGENE BASEMENT FAULT SYSTEM : This fault system resulted in the Paleogene graben-half-graben system with syn-rift deposition The Sumatra Paleogene Fault System extends SE to the NW Java basinal area

15 Sumatra Fault System Koesoemadinata (2006)

16 The Paleogene Basement Fault System This fault system consists of two main components N-S component WNW-ESE component In South Sumatra a NE-SW component is present This fault system cuts clear across the Barisan Range, beneath the fore-arc basin. This fault system is responsible for the development of Paleogene graben- halfgraben basin system with syn-rift deposition forming important oil kitchens.

17 Murphy (2000)

18 Sumatra Paleogene Fault System Koesoemadinata (2006)

19 Paleogene Basement Faults Explanation Moulds (1989): Faults are mainly N-S and was created due to the E-W directed extensional regime during the initial stage of the N-S directed stress caused by the subduction. Other explanation: transtensional faults due to the dextral wrenching movements of the Indian Ocean Plate relative to the Sunda continental plate

20 The Neogene Fold system The fold system is dominated by the WNW-ESE trending anticlinoria. Generally forming an en-echelon pattern. Explanation: Wrench movement along the NW-SE basement faults (related to the Paleogene graben system) (Harding,1988) Draping over uplifted blocks due to compressive regime of the subduction (Moulds, 1989)

21 North Sumatra Basin The basin is notable for the first commercial oil field the Telaga Said field (discovered 1885) and the giant Arun gas field. The basin is extremely large and extends from just north of Medan northwards for several hundred kms into the Andaman Sea and across the Thailand Indonesia border. The Indonesian sector of the basin is bordered to the west by the Barisan Mountain thrust system and to the east by the stable Malacca platform. Onshore sector of the basin has been extensively explored, however, remaining potentials include : gas filled Peutu carbonate buildups, Belumai buildups on the Malacca shelf, Baong and Keutapang stratigraphic play, lowstand turbidite fan systems of middle Miocene (Tsukada et al., 1996; Nur aini et al. 1999), latest Oligocene Bampo fan systems, syn rift Parapat in graben deeps, Eocene Tampur carbonates (Ryacudu and Sjahbuddin, 1994). Relatively unexplored northern deepwater (> 1000 m water depth) sector of the basin merits further investigation.

50 Central Sumatra Basin The Central Sumatra Basin is the most prolific oil basin in SE Asia. Reserves estimates for the basin of 13 BBOE ultimately recoverable, of which 2.5 BBO remain to be recovered (Sujanto, 1997). The basin is mature with respect to HC exploration with a simple and essentially single petroleum system operating. New ideas are required if further fields are to be discovered and trend of declining production to be halted.

68 Central Sumatra Petroleum System Central Sumatra is the most prolific petroleum in the Indonesian Basin. Source rocks and oil kitchen are exclusively synrift deposits (Brown shales of the Pematang Group). Reservoirs are exclusively clastics of the post rift transgressive Sihapas group. Trapping is provided by structural traps with stratigraphic components.

91 South Sumatra Basin The basin contains diverse petroleum systems, with both oil and gas being sourced from lacustrine and fluvio-deltaic terrestrial facies. Limited potential still remains for the traditional Talang Akar and Batu Raja formation plays. In contrast to the basin s mature oil status, the South Sumatra Basin is under-explored for gas, and contains good remaining gas potential in both new and existing successful plays. A further 6 to 10 TCF gas could be discovered in the basement, Talang Akar, and Batu Raja.

100 South Sumatra Paleogene Graben System The graben system is more complex than else where in Sumatra. In addition to the N-S-NW-SE system there is an additional NNE-SSW set. It consists mainly of half-grabens, facing west as well as east. The half-grabens are inverted with NW-SE set turning into a thrusted fold belts, described as flower structure. Ryacudu (2005)

101 Jambi Graben System A NNE-SSW complex graben system. Unique among the SW Sunda graben being not N-S oriented. Due to extension phase following a pre-existing major basement fault extending from Bukit Barisan to Singkep Island. This graben system becomes the site of the huge Jambi Depression in the Neogene.

132 SUMATRA FORE-ARC BASINS Meulaboh Basin Sibolga Basin Mentawai Basin Bengkulu Basin Western Sumatra fore-arc basin are still underlain by continental crust, and Paleogene graben system extends underneath the Neogene fore-arc basin.

133 Fore-arc Basins Fore-arc basins have traditionally been considered poorly prospective for hydrocarbons due to : source-rock facies were unlikely to develop in these essentialy shallow, oxygenated, open-marine basins, Reservoir quality was assumed to be problem because nearby volcanic arcs and melange complex have supplied a predominance of poor-quality reservoirs, Geothermal gradients are relatively low. Six fore-arc basins of Western Indonesia have been drilled : Banyumas, South Central Java, Southwest Java, Bengkulu, Mentawai, Sibolga. The results, in some way, fuel optimism for the existence of economic petroleum reserves in the Western Indonesia fore-arcs.

134 West Sumatra Basin Petroleum System The fore-arc basins are considered cool basins. The fore-arc basins are less likely to contain hydrocarbons. Oil and gas occurrences are sourced from the synrift deposits, which experienced heating during the rifting process.

135 Simplified map of structural elements and HC occurrence in the Sumatra forearc Yulihanto et al. (1995)

136 Bengkulu-Mentawai-Sibolga Basins (1) The Bengkulu basin is the mostwidely explored fore-arc basin in Indonesia. All Bengkulu basin carbonate targets proved to be waterfilled. Arwana-1 (Fina, 1992) encountered good oil shows and penetrated good marine sources of Oligo-Miocene shales which are within the oil window with GG of C/100 m (this is significantly higher than normal fore-arc setting). The origin of the Bengkulu basin is not strictly fore-arc, may originally have been in back-arc setting (Howles, 1986; Mulhadiono and Asikin, 1989; Hall et al., 1993; Yulihanto et al., 1995). The Bengkulu basin has a proven petroleum system for oil generation. It demonstrates a similar geology to the South Sumatra basin, with an undrilled Paleogene rift system that could feasibly contain lacustrine source rocks, and proven post-rift reservoir facies. Post-rift Miocene shales and some coals are proven source facies.

137 Bengkulu-Mentawai-Sibolga Basins (2) Fieldwork in the Mentawai Islands shows that the marine Oligocene graben fill in the Mentawai basin has source potential. Basin modelling suggests that these sediments may have entered oil window as early as the middle Miocene. Early Miocene buildups are considered potential reservoir target. Some wells contain biogenic methane shows (Yulihanto and Wiyanto, 1999). Suma-1, Singkel-1 (Union Oil), and Ibu Suma-1 (Caltex) wells of Sibolga basin encountered sub-economic quantities of biogenic gas (Dobson et al., 1998) middle Miocene carbonate build ups. The traps have sealing problem. Interbedded sands may show better biogenic gas prospects.

146 Fore-Arc Basins : Conclusions Fore-arc basins of Western Indonesia are poorly understood but their hydrocarbon potential is considered to be moderate to high (Netherwood, 2000). The Bengkulu basin experienced a history similar to that of the backarc basins : Paleogene rifting, Miocene structural modification, inversion and raised heat flow in Pliocene-Pleistocene times. The Bengkulu basin demonstrates mature source potential, sufficient heat flow for oil generation, and convincing oils shows in wells. Presence of biogenic gas and low geothermal gradient in Sibolga Basin are promising for future biogenic gas exploration. Interbedded sands within early Miocene reefs will be better sealed than reefs. Numerous oil and gas seepages in Bayah and Banyumas areas demonstrate the presence of active petroleum system. The presence of excellent Eocene reservoirs is promising. The areas are worth for further exploration.
