MEMBER COUNTRIES REPORTS (documents CCOP-50AS/3-4 to 3-15) Member Countries had filed their written reports prior to the commencement of the Annual Session. The Member Countries reports are reproduced in full in ANNEX V. Under this agenda item, Member Country delegations were encouraged to give brief oral presentations of the highlights of their respective reports rather than detailed reproductions of the written report. JAPAN Additional verbal comments and questions on the verbal presentations are noted below: With regards to remote sensing and satellite images, an observer from PNG inquired whether or not CCOP has seriously considered an international standard on the zoning resolution to be in compliance with each Member Country, especially when special consideration is given to the national security requirements on Geo-Resources information database for each country, e.g. PNG where non-renewable resources is abundant. In reply, CCOP TS Director remarked that mostly, there s no specific international standard used, it depends on the participating countries requirements in the implementation of a certain project. Japan commented that their Government supplies satellite images called ASTER together with NASA for 15 years and that the Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ), AIST archived all the images. Japan informed that if any of the Member Countries need support concerning these images, GSJ could be contacted. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 3 CCOP Technical Secretariat

He invited CCOP members to suggest people who should be invited for this event (International and Regional experts) and encouraged to make contact during the AS in Kokopo or later by to suggest names. Korea expressed thanks for the Netherland s presentation of subsidence project in Jakarta. Korea has special interest on subsidence issues in urban areas. They inquired whether the project includes the sinkhole (subsidence) issue caused by the man-made subsidence or mainly focused on the subsidence caused by pure geological phenomena. In reply, the Representative of Netherlands confirmed that the subsidence probably was a result of a combination of pure geological phenomena and man-made activities (extensive use of ground water). Indonesia thanked Denmark for the DANIDA Project for gold and minerals research in Indonesia; Norway for the CCS-M Program; and particularly, The Netherlands for the support of what is called Giant Sea Wall in Jakarta.

24 ANNEX II WELCOME ADDRESS by Shadrach Himata Permanent Representative of PNG to CCOP Secretary of the Department of Mineral Policy & Geohazards Management At the Opening Ceremony of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session October 2014, Kokopo, East New Britain Province, PNG Minister For Mining, Hon Byron Chan, MPA, Deputy Governor of East New Britain Province, PNG, Hon. Simon Painap Chairman of the CCOP Steering Committee, Permanent Representative of Japan and the Director General of the Geological Survey of Japan, Dr. Eikichi Tsukuda, Chairman of CCOP Advisory Group, Representative of Germany to CCOP and Head of Sub-Department International Cooperation, Federal Institute of Geosciences and Natural Resources of Germany, Ms. Franca Schwarz, Director of CCOP Technical Secretariat, Dr. Adichat Surinkum, Permanent Representatives of Member Countries, Cooperating Country Representatives, Cooperating Organization Representatives And Members of The Advisory Group, Ladies and Gentlemen. I acknowledge the presence of each and everyone of you and welcome you on behalf of the departments and agencies of the Government of Papua New Guinea and the organizers of this event and the officers on the ground who are very excited to have you here with us for the 50 th CCOP Annual Session and the 63 rd Steering Committee Meeting. The organizing of this event is a demonstration of the ongoing collaboration between the responsible agencies particularly my department with the Mineral Resources Authority and the Department of Petroleum and Energy and the host, the East New Britain Provincial Government. We are committed with the backing of the Government of Papua New Guinea to do our part in furthering the mission of the CCOP. As you all know PNG is located directly within the pacific ring of fire which can be a positive advantage to us in terms of the geo-resources potential and at the same time a very dangerous disadvantage to PNG with a high potential for geohazards due to the seismicity of the area. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 21 CCOP Technical Secretariat

25 We have had a number of experiences with volcanic activities from Mt Lamington in 1951 where we lost around 3000 lives, the Manam Island volcanic activity went on for over a number of years resulting in the loss of thirteen (13) lives and over 3000 Manam Islanders displaced to this day giving rise to socio-economic issues and challenges, and the very recent volcano activities from Mt Bagana between the August 2014 and Mt Tavuvur on Friday 29 August 2014, which is about seven (7) weeks ago. We continue to experience very active seismicity throughout our highlands region resulting in the main highlands highway, which is the life-line for major mining, petroleum, oil and gas projects in the hinterlands of this country being drastically affected by major landslips. In fact my engineering geology team has just returned from the field from undertaking the on-going landslide mapping project along the affected corridor of the Papua New Guinea highlands highway. We have had the Aitape tsunami disaster in the West Sepik Province in 1998 that took over 2000 lives. This tsunami was triggered by a magnitude seven (7) earthquake giving rise to ten (10) meter waves. In fact one of my own staff lost all but one family member from that disaster. So I d like to think that your coming here is not a mistake. We all share a common cause and a common goal through the CCOP mission. The Coordinating Committee of Geosciences Programmes in East and South-East Asia, or CCOP, has a very valid, vital and responsible mission. As we know the CCOP mission is to facilitate and coordinate the implementation of applied geoscience programmes in the region. These cover three principle areas relating to geo-resources, geo-information and geoenvironment. Accordingly CCOP promotes capacity building, technology transfer, information exchange and institutional linkages for sustainable resource development, management of geoinformation, geohazards mitigation and the protection of the environment. Let me declare that the CCOP does have a very noble mission. For Papua New Guinea we require that collaboration to effectively manage our georesources, the geo-information and the geo-environment of the country with sustainability and protection of the environment as the overarching goals in a socially responsible manner. Throughout the sessions this week my team will be making some presentations on policy developments that we have undertaken for the mining sector which are adequately in-line with the CCOP mission. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 22 CCOP Technical Secretariat

26 Three of these policy documents will be tabled this month in cabinet by the mining minister and they are the sustainable mining development policy, the geothermal resource policy and the mining involuntary resettlement policy. We are currently conducting a review of our mining act 1992 and the mine (safety) act 1977 as well as the overarching mineral policy which spells out the fiscal regime applicable in the PNG mining industry. For the petroleum and energy sector the Department of Petroleum & Energy is developing the overarching national gas policy. We are also developing the offshore mining policy and a mine closure policy. We also have in place a framework for a mine waste management policy which will be developed into policy in All these policy developments are being given a legal basis under the revised mining act. But one policy development I wish to bring to your attention in particular which will be one of my department s priorities going forward from 2015 is the development of a geohazards management policy for Papua New Guinea. This policy will take into account the monitoring of geohazards, the mitigation strategies and the protection of infrastructure, assets and above all the safety and lives of our people. This policy is very vital at this time in PNG and I wish to state here that we will need collaboration and support from CCOP to ensure we develop a policy that is globally acceptable and practically applicable. We anticipate that this gathering will establish some good collaboration and understanding between member countries, cooperating countries and cooperating organizations. So we look forward to an important week of learning and sharing of information and data and to benefit from each other s experiences which I believe will add a lot of value to our work in our own respective countries. To conclude, I wish to assure all the participants, particularly our international delegates that my team who have organized this meeting stand ready to assist you in anyway possible should you require assistance. Please feel free to approach any of the Papua New Guinea delegates and they will assist you or refer you to the responsible officers to assist you. I trust you will enjoy our hospitality here in Kokopo. We intend to make your stay here enjoyable so that you leave with fond memories of Papua New Guinea. Thank you!

27 WELCOME ADDRESS by Hon. Simon Painap MPA, Deputy Governor of East New Britain Province, PNG At the Opening Ceremony of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session October 2014, Kokopo, East New Britain Province, PNG Minister for Mining, Hon Byron Chan, Secretary of the Department of Mineral Policy & Geohazards Management of PNG, Mr. Shadrach Himata, Chairman of the CCOP Steering Committee, Permanent Representative of Japan and the Director General of the Geological Survey of Japan, Dr. Eikichi Tsukuda, Chairman of CCOP Advisory Group, Representative of Germany to CCOP and Head of Sub-Department International Cooperation, Federal Institute of Geosciences and Natural Resources of Germany, Ms. Franca Schwarz, Director of CCOP Technical Secretariat, Dr. Adichat Surinkum, Permanent Representatives of Member Countries, Cooperating Country Representatives, Cooperating Organization Representatives and Members of The Advisory Group, Ladies and Gentlemen. On behalf of my people of East New Britain Province, I wish to give a very warm welcome to the international visitors and the local visitors and everyone of you for coming to Kokopo. The provincial government is very pleased and honoured to be able to host this important gathering of such dignified individuals from a field of expertise that is very relevant to this province. The people of East New Britain greatly appreciate the significance of this gathering, the noble purpose of the CCOP and the value it will bring into our livelihood. You see, a large number of my people live their lives every day with the knowledge that one day will come when we will all have to leave our homes and maybe our families and find safety elsewhere as a result of a geo-hazard that is ever present in this province. This province is host to an active volcano called Tavuvur that is still spewing out ashes and you can still feel the occasional tremors, or what we call guria. The volcano was active just a few weeks ago spewing out ash. There was ashfalls that affected my people. But over the years my people have developed a resilience to live Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 24 CCOP Technical Secretariat

28 comfortably with these geohazard. In fact it is a major tourism attraction and there are related benefits associated with the volcano. I am pleased to inform the CCOP family that the people of East New Britain Province have been informed and are aware of the meeting that is being held here in Kokopo. The volcano is one factor that is ever present every day of our lives. And everyone from the provincial government, the business community, the people and with support from the national government and particularly the Rabaul Volcanoe Observatory (RVO) and the national disaster and emergency service are always prepared and ready to take the appropriate actions to avoid and mitigate any loss from the disaster should it occur. We have demonstrated that yet again in the recent past during the Friday 29 th August eruption. The cooperation amongst our people is always exceptional and my provincial administration is always confident of saving lives and assets whenever the need arises. I want to assure you that my people of East New Britain Province are aware and are very supportive of the work of CCOP. We stand ready to ensure your coming to Kokopo is a fulfilling one. So on behalf of my people of the East New Britain Province I give you a very warm welcome. I can guarantee you that you will enjoy the hospitality by the people and we would be pleased if you can return many more times in the future to visit our province. Thank you!

29 SPECIAL MESSAGE by Franca Schwarz Chairperson of CCOP Advisory Group Head of International Cooperation, Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR, Germany) At the Opening Ceremony of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session October 2014, Kokopo, East New Britain Province, PNG Your Excellency, Honorable Byron Chan, Member of Parliament, Minister for Mining and Member for Namatanai Your Excellency, Honorable Simon Painap, Member of Parliament, Deputy Governor of East New Britain Province Mr. Shadrach Himata, Permanent Representative of Papua New Guinea to CCOP and Secretary, Department of Mineral Policy and Geohazard Management, PNG Dr. Eikichi Tsukuda, Chairman for the CCOP Steering Committee, Head of the Geological Survey of Japan and Permanent Representative of Japan to CCOP Dr. Adichat Surinkum, Director, CCOP Technical Secretariat Distinguished Guests and Delegates Ladies and Gentlemen On the occasion of the Opening Ceremony of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session, I am very much pleased to deliver a special message on behalf of the Advisory Group. As Chairperson of the Advisory Group I have the honor to represent 15 Cooperating Countries and 13 Cooperating Organizations, as well as Honorary Advisors from several countries. First it is my pleasure to thank your Excellencies for taking the time from your busy schedule, and gracing us with your presence here today. The Advisory Group very much appreciates Papua New Guinea for the generous sponsorship of the annual meeting, and especially Your Excellencies for the welcome that has been prepared. With this I do not only refer to the opening of today but as well to the overwhelming and hearty welcome already at the airport of Rabaul. For most of us this is our first visit to Papua New Guinea and Kokopo. Only few of us besides them myself were fortunate to stay in your country before and we were impressed by the rich flora and fauna, indigenous people, unique traditional cultures and diversified Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 26 CCOP Technical Secretariat

30 lifestyles. We are most grateful to our colleagues in the Department Mineral Policy and Geohazard Management of Papua New Guinea for their unique welcome, especially the Secretary and Permanent Representative of PNG to CCOP, Mr. Shadrach Himata. During our Annual Meeting we will have many important objects to consider, including a review of the activities and achievements that have been made by the Coordinating Committee for Geoscience Programmes in East and Southeast Asia (CCOP) during the last year. On behalf of the Advisory Group I would therefore like to congratulate Dr. Eikichi Tsukuda, Chairperson for the CCOP Steering Committee, and Dr. Adichat Surinkum, the Director of the CCOP Technical Secretariat for all the efforts and thoughtful actions that were realized during the last months. As you all know, conservation and sustainable use of georesources is one cornerstone for sustainable development worldwide: without mineral resources, no technology; without energy resources, no energy; without soil, no food; without water, no life. The growth and development of almost all countries in East and Southeast Asia have been attributed to contributions from geo-resources, and its demand within the region. However, changes in the global environment in the last few years suggested, that more practical management of our geo-resources is critical in order to sustain the region s economic growth in the longer term. It is just sequentially therefore, that the Steering Committee has chosen to focus on this topic at the Thematic Session on the theme Geo-Resources: Potential, Development and Management. In lots of countries around the world not only in Asia weak management of georesources leads to social and ecological problems. Due to steady population growth and the growth of consumption and production, people are increasingly using georesources. For example, more than 1 billion people worldwide are using water from unimproved resources, such as standing ponds and unsafe springs. Overexploited resources, such as water and soil, cannot be accessed by the poor. But the societies expect answers from governmental institutions - including the geological surveys - on how to solve the situation, which may be worsen in future. The aspect of management of georesources moves increasingly to the forefront. Due to this crucial subject there is no doubt that we can look forward to valuable presentations and discussions about this matter. I am certain that the Coordinating Committee for Geoscience Programmes in East and Southeast Asia (CCOP) has an important role to play in such issues. CCOP s ability to consider such complex issues has always derived from the willingness of the Member Countries and Cooperating Countries to work together, and be very successful across national and cultural boundaries. This unique CCOP cooperation has been based upon the conviction that improved geoscience knowledge and education are key to a safer and better world. CCOP projects have had a demonstrable impact, in technology transfer, and personnel training. The Advisory Group stands ready to support and it is gratifying to meet so many friends, who have traveled far, gathered together in the charming city of Kokopo with its beautiful volcano Tavurvur in Papua New Guinea. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 27 CCOP Technical Secretariat

31 When I was preparing my message, I read the sentence, that Kokopo is an opportunistic town that has literally risen from ashes. It seems that the author wanted to express, that Kokopo reflects its optimistic view towards the future and emanates a sense of confidence, pride and zing. This is something that I personally find since years in the Coordinating Committee for Geoscience Programmes in East and Southeast Asia (CCOP). Once again, on behalf of the Advisory Group, I sincerely thank the Government of Papua New Guinea for hosting the 50th CCOP Annual Meeting. We are most grateful to the Papua New Guinean people and our colleagues from Papua New Guinea for their unique welcome and hospitality. Thank you.

32 SPECIAL MESSAGE by Dr. Eikichi Tsukuda Chairman of CCOP Steering Committee Permanent Representative of Japan to CCOP Director-General, Geological Survey of Japan, AIST At the Opening Ceremony of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session October 2014, Kokopo, East New Britain Province, PNG His Excellency, Mr. Byron Chan, Minister of Mining and Member of Namatanai, His Excellency, Mr. Simon Painap, Deputy Governor of East New Britain Province, Mr. Shadrach Himata, Permanent Representative of Papua New Guinea to CCOP and Secretary, Department of Mineral Policy and Geohazards Management, PNG Ms. Franca Schwarz, Chairman of CCOP Advisory Group, Representative of Germany to CCOP, Dr. Adichat Surinkum, Director of CCOP Technical Secretariat, Distinguished Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen, Very Good Morning, It is a great pleasure for me to celebrate the 50 th CCOP Annual Session with all of you here in Kokopo, a beautiful capital of East New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea. This is the second Annual Session held in Papua New Guinea and I am very grateful to Honorable Bryon Chan, Minister of Mining and Member of Namatanai, and Honorable Simon Painap, Deputy Governor of East New Britain Province for inviting us to hold the CCOP Annual Session and attending this memorable opening ceremony. As the Chairperson of the Steering Committee of CCOP, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Mr. Shadrach Himata, the Permanent Representative of Papua New Guinea to CCOP and Secretary of the Department and all his staff, for their huge amount of effort in preparation for the meeting. The extremely heartfelt welcome we received at the airport the day before yesterday was a very memorable event and I felt the strong enthusiasm of our friends in PNG. I also would like to convey my warmest appreciation to the hard-working CCOP TS for their continued effort. And, I would like to extend my warm welcome to the guests from Myanmar and Mongolia. On this opportunity, I would like to thank again to all the persons who participated in and contributed the 49th Annual Session, which was held in Sendai Japan one year ago. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 29 CCOP Technical Secretariat

33 Ladies and Gentlemen, CCOP will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2 years time. We have seen that CCOP has grown steadily in the past 50 years and has contributed in various activities on geosciences to support the development of the life in our region. The most important achievement, I believe, is an establishment of a professional network in CCOP, particularly the human network. We are already one family in this part of the world. Of course, I would like to send my sincere gratitude to all Cooperating Countries and Cooperating Organiztions who have continuously given us tremendous supports, both financially and technically. However, I would like to mention that our technological achievements in geosciences is not a level of our desire to really contribute to the people in our region. There are still many things to do among us to make CCOP more visible in the world. For this reason, we are preparing to make a new Strategic Plan. CCOP should be an international data center of geoscience, which will play the most important role to solve societal issues for geo-resources, geoenvironment and geo-hazards for sustainable development of this area. Ladies and Gentlemen, Now, I am confident that we will have a fine and fruitful Annual Session this week and I sincerely hope that this meeting will be an invaluable experience for you to exchange frank view, discuss passionately and deepen friendship with other participants. I believe it is the accumulation of such small experiences that leads the whole CCOP region to enjoy safer society and sustainable development. Finally, I hope you will fully enjoy sunny beach, blue ocean, fragrant breeze, and great hospitality of the local people in one of those gaps between sessions. Thank you very much.

34 OPENING ADDRESS by Hon. Byron Chan, MP Mining Minister of Papua New Guinea At the Opening Ceremony of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session October 2014, Kokopo, East New Britain Province, PNG Deputy Governor of East New Britain Province, Mr. Simon Painap, Secretary of the Department of Mineral Policy & Geohazards Management of PNG, Mr. Shadrach Himata, Secretary of the Department of Petroleum and Energy of PNG Mr. Rendel Rimua Chairman of the CCOP Steering Committee, Permanent Representative of Japan and the Director General of the Geological Survey of Japan, Dr. Eikichi Tsukuda, Chairman of CCOP Advisory Group, Representative of Germany To CCOP and Head of Sub-Department International Cooperation, Federal Institute of Geosciences and Natural Resources of Germany, Ms. Franca Schwarz, Director of CCOP Technical Secretariat, Dr. Adichat Surinkum, Permanent Representatives of Member Countries, Cooperating Country Representatives, Cooperating Organization Representatives and Members of the Advisory Group, Ladies and Gentlemen. I wish to take the opportunity to warmly welcome each and every one of you to this part of Papua New Guinea. The PNG government acknowledges the objectives and aspirations of the CCOP and I wish to state here on behalf of my colleague minister, Hon. Nixon Duban, the Minister for Petroleum and Energy that Papua New Guinea through is committed to supporting the CCOP Technical Secretariat through our respective ministries through the Department Of Mineral Policy & Geohazards Management (DMPGM) and the Mineral Resources Authority (MRA) for the mining sector and through the Department of Petroleum & Energy (DPE) for the petroleum and energy sector. Papua New Guinea is experiencing an unprecedented economic growth as a result of increased activities in major sectors of its economy. The mining sector has always been the backbone of PNG s economy and continues to do so with over 60 percent of the country s export earnings coming directly from the mining sector alone. In addition to this revenue source we now have another exciting source of income. The Exxon Mobil-led PNG LNG project which is valued at us$19 billion is the single largest development the country has seen since independence. The exporting of gas from this project has already commenced, and it is projected that the country s GDP will grow by more than 20 percent in We are all excited about this project and the benefit that will flow from the project. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 31 CCOP Technical Secretariat

35 The boom in these two geo-resource sectors alone has created a positive chain reaction, stimulating growth in other sectors of the economy as well. Our challenge, as the government, is to find ways to effectively manage these developments so that we see tangible and sustainable benefits for our people. This agenda forms the theme for this year s thematic session which is geo-resources: potential, development and management. PNG is also blessed in other important sectors of our economy with agriculture, fisheries, manufacturing, construction, tourism, forestry and more. However as you may expect, Papua New Guinea has its own share of challenges both as a result of man-made development and as a result of natural events. PNG as you know lies within the pacific ring of fire where it is vulnerable to earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and landslides. In fact we experience the occurrence of these geological events much too often. And this is a real cause for concern for the government and the secretary has alluded to some of these in his speech earlier. Climate change is another issue which is affecting the country s lower lying islands and coastal areas. We are experiencing the real effect of the sea level rising with a number of our islands and coastline being submerged by the sea. We also have sustainability and socio-economic issues and the government is making every effort to address these issues so that the welfare of our people is taken care of. The world today is advancing at a very rapid rate and we all need to be on par with the changes and the challenges we face every day. Some of these challenges cannot be overcome alone. The government of PNG acknowledges that we can only do so much on our own. But like many other countries Papua New Guinea needs external cooperation and support to address some of the challenges that are predominantly common in our region. Therefore, it is indeed an honour for Papua New Guinea to have friends and partners from CCOP who can help us overcome the challenges we face that are peculiar to the mission of CCOP. Let me state here that my colleague, the Minister for Petroleum & Energy and I as ministers responsible are very pleased with the fact that PNG has been a participant and was entrusted with the responsibility to host this very important event in PNG under the CCOP calender. I want to once again assure you of Papua New Guinea s support towards your work. May you all be blessed for the wonderful work you do for the human race. I trust you will enjoy the hospitality and your stay in Kokopo will not be forgotten in many years to come. Thank you Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 32 CCOP Technical Secretariat

Summary Three activities are being carried out as long term programmes of the Department of Geology including 1) Updating and correcting 1/200,000 geological maps, 2) Compilation of a construction materials resource map, 3) Updating JICA'ss 1/1,000,000 mineral resources maps, 4) Study on laterite resources, and 5) Setting up regulations to strengthen the management of exploration and mining activities Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities 1) Updating and correcting geological maps (1:200000): this activity is a part of the 5 year work plan of the Department of Geology and aims at updating and correcting the geological information of the old 1/200,000 French maps. Although, there is no financial support from the government in conducting field mapping surveys, the maps are updated with new information and records acquired from mineral exploration as well as from surveys on construction materials resources supplemented with aerial photo interpretation. Some parts of the country, in particular, the Northeastern and Northern parts are updated with new rock types. Due to lack of radiometric dating, the ages of the new found rock types are done comparatively. 2) Compilation of a construction material resource map: This is a 3 year programme set up in response to the demand of the provincial localities and to protect the construction material deposits for future economic development. For these purposes a 1: 200,000 map of construction resources is being compiled. 3) Study on laterite resources: This activity is a 3 year programme of the Department of Geology the purpose of which is to ensure the optimal use of laterite resources for industrial purposes and as building materials to be used in the restoration of Antic monuments. The first phase survey was carried out on three laterite deposits located in Takeo, Kampong Cham and Siem Reap provinces Proposed Future Activities 1) Updating geological data/information in the bordering areas with Thailand, Lao PDR and SR Viet Nam. The activity aims at efficient participation in the CCOP-ASEAN Harmonized Geology project to compile a seamless geology map of the CCOP-ASEAN Region. A programme for 2015 has been drafted for budget allocation. 2) Assessment of mineral exploration data/information.

The national mineral resource assessment project concluded smoothly in 2013 and a comprehensive evaluation of the potential of China's 25 minerals including coal, iron, copper, aluminum etc. was completed with prospective areas of potential buried mineral resources being delineated. A database for this project was also completed. This systematic comprehensive assessment was launched in 2007 involving gravity, magnetic, geochemical anomalies, remote sensing, natural heavy minerals data and interpretations. The first systematic compilation of a series of China s tectonic maps was also completed. Newly compiled tectonic map of China Mineral resource mapping, gradient induced polarization measurements, IP sounding and other technical means were implemented in the Doron integrated exploration areas in Tibet and the Naruo and Tiegelongnan copper-gold mines were discovered and the Longrong- Zhuobugebubei mineralization area was clearly delineated, thus enabling Bangong Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 66 CCOP Technical Secretariat

70 Lake-Nujiang River to become an important metallogenic zone with good ore prospecting potential. A photograph of mineralization of cooper-nickel ores in Xiarihamu region of Golmud city, Qinghai Province A variety of metal and nonmetal mineral resources were delineated in other important metallogenic belts, such as the east range of West Tianshan Nalati Mountain of Xinjiang, Xiarihamu Golmud City in Qinghai Province, Allah-Jinhe in Hunan province, Duobaoshan- Dahsing village in Heilongjiang, Lizhuangzai of Mianchi in Henan, Jiajika in Sichuan, Altay in Xinjiang. Three-dimensional geological modeling studies were carried out in some areas and significant achievements were made by drilling in some areas. Of the 118 projects for exploration around existing mines carried out from 2012 to 2013, newly discovered reserves of mines by 9 projects have all reached the level of largescale deposits, and that by 27 projects reached medium level. The number of mines with newly discovered reserves to become medium or large sized deposits is now 36, and the average mining life of the deposits is now extended to 12 years, which will provide stable jobs for 37,000 people. In 2013, the China Geological Survey continued to carry out 199 projects involving airborne geophysical, regional gravity and geochemical surveys, remote sensing and data collection and interpretation mainly in the important metallogenic belts. In all 540,000 kilometers of airborne geophysics, 244,000 square kilometers of 1:250, 000 regional gravity survey, 130,000 square kilometers of 1:250,000 regional geochemical survey, 16,000 square kilometers of 1:50,000 gravity pilot surveys, 10,000 square kilometers of 1: geochemical survey, 64,000 square kilometers of 1:250,000 multi-purpose geochemical survey were completed. As result 6352 geophysical and geochemical anomalies were found, and 2992 were followed-up in the field, as a result of which 886 were verified by drilling and 537 anomalies were found to indicate mineral deposits. Lots of mineral exploration targets and clues for further prospecting were thus provided in Pilot work for geochemical evaluation of farmland quality was also conducted in the main agricultural areas of some typical regions. A trial flight of an integrated aeromagnetic and aero-radiometric system on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was successfully undertaken. The system is mounted on small and medium-sized domestic UAVs named Rainbow-3(CH-3). Many key technical problems such as aerodynamic shaping, electromagnetic compatibility, real-time communication links and the sensor structure design were solved and an integrated station for multiple parameters of aero-geophysical survey for boarding on a small-sized UAV was successfully constructed for the first time in the world. Breakthrough was also made technically in extremely low altitude and terrain following navigation and a night flight was Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 67 CCOP Technical Secretariat

71 conducted for the first time. Apart from that, a UAV-based magnetic compensation method was proposed and the problem of UAV s magnetic compensation maneuver standard was then solved. Integrated station for airborne geophysical survey on Rainbow-3(CH-3)UAV The deepest China continental scientific drilling project to date, named the Songliao basin scientific drilling project, will drill through Cretaceous strata.

79 The China Geological Survey also carried out a nationwide investigation on geoenvironmental problems in mining areas which outlined the status of the mining geoenvironment and revealed clearly the key problems and potential hazards. A national environmental assessment index of mining geo-environments was then established, and the method for geo-environmental assessment based on large spatial scales was proposed. A national database of geo-environmental surveys of mines was developed and the survey standard was issued as well. Research on emergency monitoring and real-time data communication for high mountain areas was carried out. A low-altitude UAV relay system was developed. Relay system integration was tested in typical areas and data acquisition and processing was made under complex weather conditions. Quantitative study and monitoring of desertification with low altitude UAV of ultra-high resolution remote sensing images was carried out in Heqing, Yunnan province. 5. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY PROGRAMME Since 2009, more effort has been made to conduct geo-environmental surveys in important economic zones and urban areas. This work has covered six major economic zones, such as the Bohai Rim, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, the West Coast, North Bay and Chang-Ji-Tu as well as four metropolitan areas in Midwest China including the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the central plains, Guanzhong area, Chengdu and Chongqing. Following four years of effort, the following achievements were obtained: completed 1: scale regional geo-environment survey; a systematic review of regional tectonics, topography, hydrology, engineering geology and environmental geology conditions conducted; identified the distribution of major geo-environment problems; carried out an evaluation of geo-environmental capacity; completed a series of 1: regional geoenvironment maps and a proposal supporting regional economy development. These have provided an important geo-scientific data foundation for main function-oriented zoning, for optimizing spatial space patterns of geographical space, new urbanization planning, industrial reconstruction, optimal allocation of natural resources as well as major economic projects. 1: Geo-environment map of the Yangzi River delta Further studies on the geologic record of global climate change, carbon dioxide geological storage and geological carbon sequestration were conducted in The establishment of 30 karst carbon sink observation stations, 3 new observation stations and 1 Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 76 CCOP Technical Secretariat

80 carbon-sink observation station in karst areas has facilitated the initial formation of a geological carbon sink monitoring network of China. The potential for geological carbon dioxide storage was determined to be more than 400 million tons based on the analysis of the target areas in the Ordos and Sichuan Basins. A technical method of assessing the potential and suitability of low porosity and low permeability craton-type basins has been developed. Principles for storage site selection have been proposed as follows: being in line with economic objectives, target reservoir not being un-minable coal seams, while safe for improving CBM recovery with Carbon dioxide injection. Based on CBM geological features, geological security of site level and index system of site selection in terms of economy and security, procedures and methods for evaluation were developed. National comprehensive resources and environment zones The investigation and evaluation of national nature resources and environment bearing capacity and comprehensive monitoring of land and resources were conducted continuously in A framework system of national resource and environment capacity evaluation was established focusing on four kinds of resource (land, mineral resources, water resources and marine resources) and four types of environment (geological environment, ecological environment, water environment and climate environment ). Compilation of a comprehensive classification map and partition table of the national nature resource and environment was completed. Under the overall structure of an integrated monitoring information platform of Land and Resources (Geological Environment), integration of different information systems covering all the disciplines related with geo-environment was done and an initial platform of a geo-environment information service has been established.

81 GEO-INFORMATION SECTOR 6. GEO-DATA AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME In 2013, the target of geological survey information work was to support strategic action for mineral exploration and focused on the construction of a public non-profitable data service network and strengthening the administration information system. Informationization of field geological survey and accumulation of data resources were constantly promoted and resulted in many important achievements, including the overall level of informationization of the China Geological Survey and its branch organizations in six aspects: national geological database construction and updates, informationization capacity building for the whole steps and procedures of geological survey, informationization construction for monitoring and supervising national mineral resources exploration and exploitation, geological survey information service cluster system construction and the development of geo-data products, construction of national geo-scientific literature and archives cluster sharing. The 1:50,000 geological map database was updated with 3839 sheets newly digitized. 83% of this scale geological map database was achieved so far and the whole database will be completed in With this achievement, a publically released systematic geo-database will be fully developed. In 2013, 11,230 volumes of traditional geological archives were digitized. The National Geological Archives was then holding some 90,000 digitized achieves, and the total digital number reached 110,000 including 20,000 volumes of newly collected digital versions in recent years. A comprehensive study of national geological databases is proceeding smoothly. Data integration research was completed on data gathered from different data sources, i.e. traditional mapping and digital mapping, and of different standard formats. A database was established to demonstrate the corresponding relations of over 4000 symbols, over 300 lines and 200 more patterns. The China Geological Survey has carried out the OneGeologyChina project in 2013 and released the data in May, The China 1:1million geological map data were released via the OneGeology portal, with data format conversion, translation to international GeoSciML standard following its classification. The map data includes 64 sheets and more than 110,000 geological body and section entities, 350,000 line entities, 190,000 note traces, and data processing report. The data can also be found at the initial address A Production Dispatching System for the China Geological Survey was initially built to conduct demonstration and information fusion of production dispatching based on the China Geological Survey Information Grid platform. Thus a real time command and monitoring of field personnel and site is available, which provided a shared platform for management and decision-making. In 2013, more than 10 mining operation management systems were upgraded including online reporting of mining rights inspection. At the same time, an online data reporting system was launched for mineral exploration activities whilst geo-data and information integration also fully supported the administration of mining rights.

86 CCOP-CGS Geochemical Mapping Project The draft of the technical proposal for this project was formulated before June 2013, and, after revision through experiments conducted in typical Geographic landscape areas by CCOP member countries, the final version was completed by November. Technical proposals for geochemical mapping of arid desert regions in central Asia (selecting China and Mongolia) have also been formulated as well as technical proposals for geochemical mapping of tropical rainforest zones of Southeast Asia and South Asia( selecting Malaysia and Papua New Guinea). The main contents of the technical proposals are as follows. According to the requirements of the global geochemical baselines grid, divide the baseline grid with the specification of 160km 160km into four sub-grids, each representing a typical sample, to analyze the 76 different elements required by the global geochemical baseline grid. All the data acquired from this will be included in the global geochemical baseline database. Figure 1 shows the distribution of the global geochemical baseline grid in CCOP member countries. Table 6 shows the 2534 sites for collecting samples in all of the countries involved and 5000 samples are expected to be collected. Mainly flood plain sediments will be taken as the sample medium on the global scale, soil in the plain areas. Samples will be collected at the depth between 0 to 25cm, and below 100cm at each sampling site.76 different elements will be analyzed in strict line with global geochemical reference value. The 3-year work will mainly focus on the demonstration work on global scale since it requires a huge workload. For the technical part, the general requirement of the work is to devise the plan referring to the Global Geochemical Baseline Program, the international geological comparison initiative 360 (Blue Paper, the 19th publication of UNESCO). Based on the fact that CCOP member countries cross a great variety of geographic landscapes, including arid desert, semiarid grassland, mountains and hills and tropical rain forests, technical specifications will be laid down on a global scale, national scale and metallogenic belts scale respectively according to different characteristics. Manuals will be compiled covering field sampling, sample analysis, map making and database construction. Training will be held for participants from all countries.

MINERAL PROGRAMME 1.1. Summary There are some strategic issues on mineral policies that have emerged in the country recently. During 2013, the Indonesian Government were still holding discussions on some regulations related to the arrangement of bid prosedures for mining concession, added value policy for mineral products and the preparation of mining areas. By mid- 2014, the government had issued new governmental decree No 1/2014 stipulating that unprocessed mineral products were banned for export, effectively valid since 12 January In the same period, seven main mining concession areas had been granted to local governments, and ministrial decree number 1/2014 dealing with bidding prosedures for mining permits had also been issued. Hopefully, the bidding process for new mining permits will commence in Meanwhile, regardless such issues, the Centre for Geological Resources (CGR), Geological Agency, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia still plans and implements a routine investigation program consisting of inventory establishment prospecting and exploration work. For the period of 2013, a number of selected locations for mineral investigation have been completed. For the 2014 project period, nine locations out of 12 targets have beenundertaken and three will be executed in last quarter of this year. These were aimed to update the availability of information on the national data base, to develop geoscience and to support very basic data for the bidding process of new metallic mineral concessions. Some new findings obtained from the projects were the potential of manganese deposits in Gunung Kidul Regency, Java Island, lateritic or sulphide nickel deposit occurrences in West Seram, Moluccas, the occurrence of copper in South Halmahera, North Moluccas, the indication for REE or tin deposits in Anambas Regency, Riau Archipelago and the potential for gold resources in Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities There were four resource discoveries made during the 2013 project period that can be elaborated here. Hypothetical resources of manganese of up to 500 million tones in Gunung Kidul Regency, Middle Java were deliniated during 2013 project, with the best Mn grade at around 32.5%. From investigation results in East Luwu, South Sulawesi, a lateritic Ni deposit in the hypothetical resource category contains up to 67.8 million tonnes at average Ni, Co, Fe and Cr contents of 0.29%, 0.06%, 23.19% and 0.35% Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 86 CCOP Technical Secretariat

90 respectively was discovered. Bauxite was also found in Sintang and Sekadau Regencies, West Kalimantan in 2013 with the amount of hyphotetical resources of 15,7 million tones at % % Al 2 O 3 and 15% - 16% reactive SiO 2 content. New gold resources were also found in Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara during 2013, with the estimated hypothetical resource up to 150,000 tonnes at an average 0.83 gr/ton Au. Some other significant findings are the occurences of copper in Obi District, South Halmahera Regency, North Moluccas, where the best Cu content is 0.6 % in float rocks and 0.19 % Cu in volcanic rock outcrops intruded by diorite. This finding was surprising if just because this area has been known only as a bauxite prospect so it might open our minds to explore in more detail for base metal deposits in this region. An interesting finding was also indicated by the result of the 2013 investigation in Anambas Regency, Riau Archipelago. The presence of typical minerals related to tin and REE deposits was shown in pan concentrate, including cassiterite, monazite and xenotime. In certain samples the indication for copper in form of chalcopyrite grains in pan concentrate was. All of these are sitting spatially on S type of granitic rocks. As most geologists think that such granitic rock types are closely related to the presence of tin and REE deposits, this area may be viewed as a prospect for tin and REE deposits in future. Another area was found in the Western part of Seram Island, Moluccas with indications of both lateritic and sulphide Ni with grades of between 1.04% and 1.68% Ni and 0.24% % Co. No significant indications for metallic deposits were found in the rest of the 2013 project locations so far. For fiscal year 2014, twelve technical projects shown at Figure 2 were planned, including a follow up geophysical survey on a joint CGR-CGS geochemical anomaly around Solok areas of West Sumatra and also primary tin prospects at Parit Tebu in East Belitung, Bangka Belitung Province. Nine of the projects were executed and field work completed during the second of quarter 2014 but report writing and laboratory works are still in progress. The other three locations will be realized in August Initial clues, before getting laboratory analyses, results, resulting from field observation on 2014 projects include the presence of primary iron and secondary copper outcrops in Solok or South Solok areas, West Sumatra and the presence of a number of local peoplecarrying out excavation for tin and iron around Solok areas in West Sumatra and Parit Tebu areas in East Belitung areas, Bangka Belitung Province respectively. These findings are very important as the way to localize more detailed geophysical survey areas prior to determine the exact drilling target sites for this year. In country border areas of West Kalimantan, no significant findings based on field observations were found in However, since soil geochemistry was applied to the present investigation, geochemical anomalies in soil could determine new prospect areas. Chemical analysis of soil samples is still in progress at CGR Laboratory. The remaining two detailed exploration surveys using geophysical methods in Solok, West Sumatra and Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara will be implemented in the third quarter of This work is needed to determine drilling points in those areas. The summary of 2014 investigation has not been included here as it still waiting for laboratory results. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 87 CCOP Technical Secretariat

91 1.3. Proposed Future Activities For the next year program, technical projects will be based on the prospect areas and drilling target areas that have been delineated from previous exploration or inventory results. In addition, CGR will also fulfill the demand for investigation requested by local government according to New Mining Law As detailed geological mapping along with geophysical survey in Solok Regency, West Sumatra and East Belitung Regency, Bangka Belitung Province were realized during this period, the results of these will be useful for identifying drilling targets in the 2015 project program. Some other detailed geological and geophysical survey programs are recommended to be performed in 2015 in Central Sulawesi and South Kalimantan. To respond to the increase of global or domestic market demands for REE, lithium and iron commodities recently, some certain selective areas that have close relationship with such commodities will be proposed for exploration projects. Bangka and Belitung islands, Kalimantan and Sulawesi would be among areas proposed for REE investigation since tin, bauxite and lateritic Ni are thought to have association with REE genetically. An investigation program for lithium will still be focussed on tin prospect areas like in Bangka Belitung region. For iron deposits, the areas that will be chosen for follow up exploration are referred to in the Focus Group Discussion results on iron held in June 2014The first priority is around South Kalimantan wherech a number of iron smelters have been built Assistance Required from CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities A capacity building program in exploration methodology aspects and also a training program for integrated geophysical and geochemical data interpretation purposes are needed in order to identify exploration targets and to get more new prospect discoveries. The exchange of various exploration experiences through establishment a special forum dealing with relevant and actual issues between CCOP member countries would be helpful to cope with exploration problems encountered in any exploration project plan Others Comments Direct responses from technical director of CCOP on the reviews mentioned above for improvement of project outcomes and for perfecting any exploration plans would be appreciated Programme Contact Person: Calvin Karo Karo Gurusinga Geological Agency of Indonesia Jl.

92 2. ENERGY PROGRAMME 2.1.Hydrocarbon CBM Coal - Oil Shale Summary Oil and gas play significant roles in the Indonesian economy. They are used for fuel and raw materials in various industries in onehand, and to provide significant direct income in the other. Indonesia experienced peak oil production during the period of 1978 up to 1996 to reach the plateau period of an average 600 million barrel per year or 1.6 million barrel per day. Since then, the oil production declineed continuosly due to lack of finding a new giant field. However, it is believed that Indonesia still contains considerable oil and gas resources. In order to anticipate the decline of oil production, Indonesia has conducted some serious efforts including exploration for new oil and gas working areas (block) in frontier areas, exploration of unconventional gas such as coalbed methane (CBM) and shale gas, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR). In addition, some activities related to environmental issues such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) were performed. Exploration for new oil and gas working areas (block) in frontier areas that lack data and infrastructure was started last year focusing on the Eastern Indonesian Region. Implementation of this program is conducted by the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) for oil and gas exploration in Eastern Indonesia. Exploration and Development of CBM is still continuing but, unfortunately, until today there is no commercial CBM production from the existing blocks. A shale gas reservoir pilot project in the North Sumatera Basin plans to drill an exploration well in In addition, shale gas mapping in the South Sumatera Basin is being undertaken to assess the potential of such a gas resource. For the last three years, LEMIGAS has carried out collaboration with worldwide organizations to investigate the potential for deployment and development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Indonesia, which offers great potential for reducing CO 2 emissions from large point source emitters, such as coal-fired power plants and oil and gas processing plants. The CBM development opportunity in Indonesia is becoming more promising. Investors will be encouraged by the Government to acquire CBM working areas by providing investment certainty in CBM development through established CBM regulation and Terms and Conditions, information of availability of subsurface data and infrastructure, and data information of CBM resources distributed in 11 coal basins. The current status (as of 2013) is 54 Blocks of contract signed, consisting of 12 blocks located in East Kalimantan Province (Bontang Bengalon, Bentian Besar, Kutai, Sangatta I & II, Sanga- Sanga, East and West Kutai, Kutai II, Melak Mendung I & III and West Sanga-Sanga I Blocks), 4 blocks in East and Central Kalimantan Province (Bangakanai I, II, III & IV Blocks), 8 blocks in South Kalimantan Province (Barito Banjar I & II, Kotabu, Barito Tapin, Tabulako, Barito, Tanjung II and Tanah Laut Blocks), 8 Blocks in South and Central Kalimantan Province (Belawa, Pulang Pisau, Kapuas I, II & III, Tanjung IV, Kuala Kapuas I dan II Blocks), 19 blocks in South Sumatra Province (Sekayu, Sekayu II, Tanjung Enim, Ogan Komering, Ogan Komering II, Batangasin, Muara Enim, Muara Enim I, Muralim, Muara Enim Area II & III, Belida, Lematang, Suban I & II, Air Komering, Air Benakat I, II & III), 1Blocks in West Sumatra Province (Sijunjung) and 2 Blocks in Riau Province (Indragiri Hulu and Rengat). In 2014, the government of Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 89 CCOP Technical Secretariat

93 Indonesia plans to continue offering new working areas for CBM. The selected areas to be offered will be in Kalimantan and Sumatra Island (Figure 1). Total coal resources of Indonesia until 2013 (Tabel 1) are 120, million tons consisting of low calory value (<5,100 cal/g, adb) 30, million tons (25.36%),medium calory value (5,100 6,100 cal/g, adb) 78, million tons (65.09%), high calory value (6,100 7,100 cal/g, adb) 9, million tons (7.93%) and very high calory value (>7,100 cal/g,adb) 1, million tons (1.61%). Based on the stage of investigation, the coal resources comprise hypothetical 19, million tons, inferred 32, million tons, indicated 29, million tons and measured 39, million tons (Table 1). Coal reserves of Indonesia until 2013 are31, million tons consisting of probable reserves 22, million tons and proven reserves 8, Table 1. Coal resources and reserves of Indonesia, 2013 The total oil shale resources of Indonesia until 2013 (Table 2) are 11, million tons consisting of hypothetical resources 10, million tons and inferred resources 1, million tons.

They are not only used for fuel and raw material of various industries, but they also provide significant income for this country. With the increase in the demand for energy and raw material for industry, an optimum scenario is required for obtaining the energy in order to achieve security of supply. In 2006, the government of Indonesia issued a policy so called the national energy mix in which oil and gas contributed 52.66% and 28.57% of the total energy mix, respectively. These contributions have to change in 2025 whenoil is expected to be less Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 90 CCOP Technical Secretariat

94 than 20%, whilst gas increases to be more than 30% of the mix. Meanwhile, Indonesia is geologically predicted to have significant hydrocarbon resources. The Indonesian government intends to maintain a level of oil production of 1 million barrel per day. These conditions provide a high opportunity for investment in the oil and gas industry, both upstream and down-stream. Indonesia experienced peak oil production during the period of 1978 up to 1996 to reach the plateau period of average 600 million barrel per year or 1.6 million barrel per day. This was achieved due to succesful explorations in the previous period which found giant reserves. Nowadays, giant reserves are difficult to find which results in the gradual decrease of oil production. However, Indonesia is optimistic to increase its oil production as the country is estimated to have large oil reserves as much as 45 billion barrel (oil in place) in the existing oil fields that can be produced using enhanched oil recovery (EOR) technology. In 2012, Indonesia produced million barrel oil and condensate with average daily production of 860 thousand barrel. On the other hand, total gas production was 2,975 BSCF or MMSCFD. In 2013, Indonesia has targetted to produce 900 thousand barrel oil per day and MMSCF gas per day. In order to achieve this target, Indonesia made policies and strategic actions such as offering new working areas, utilising potential fields which have not produced, increasing exploration activities, accelerating the process of approval of field development, work program and budget as well as authorisation for expenditure, and reactivating of old fields. Indonesia contains considerable Oil and gas resources which are accumulated in 60 basins distributing across the whole Indonesian archipelago. In fact, only 38 basins out of 60 basins had been explored. In addition, from 38 explored basins, 16 basins are producing, 7 basins show oil and gas indications (but have not yet been drilled) and the remaining 15 basins are lacking oil and gas shows. This situation indicates that the opportunity for exploration is wide especialy in those basins which have never been explored (22 basins). These basins are geographicaly located in eastern Indonesia which mostly occur in the deep sea. Indonesia is estimated to have resources of billion barrel oil and TSCF gas. The main activities in oil and gas sectors during the period of 1 st July 2013 to 30 th July 2014 include exploration for new oil & gas Working Area (Blocks) in frontier areas; exploration of unconventional gas such as coalbed methane (CBM) and shale gas reservoir; and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). In addition, some activities related to environmental issues such as carbon capture storage (CCS) were performed. As per 1 January 2014, Indonesia has 225 blocks (working areas). Compared to the of 1 January 2013 (256 blocks), the number of blocks decreases by 31 blocks this year. During 1 st July 2013 to 30 th July 2014, there are 30 new wildcat exploration drillings, with 13 wells can be classified as new discovery. To support the preparation of new working areas for oil and gas, some exploration activities in frontier areas of Eastern Indonesian Region have been conducted by the Geological Agency; the Research and Development Centre for Oil and Gas Technology LEMIGAS and Marine Geology (under the Research and Development Agency of Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources/ MEMR) including Bone Bay, Tanimbar Island, Seram and Misool Islands. Most of the target areas are located offshore, and some of them lay in the deep sea. Seismic data acquisition is required to support the exploration activities due to lack of subsurface data. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 91 CCOP Technical Secretariat

95 There is an activity regarding data review of unsold Blocks conducted by the Research and Development Centre for Oil and Gas Technology LEMIGAS to improve data quality and understanding exploration concepts within the blocks. The main goal of this activity is to accurately reveal hydrocarbon prospects to establish the possibility of reoffering the unsold Blocks to investors. This year there are 10 (ten) blocks to be evaluated and most of them are located in Eastern Indonesian Region. Since last year, the Research and Development Agency of MEMR lead the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to determine the priority areas for hydrocarbon exploration in Eastern Indonesian Region. The 2013 FGD that was held by government institutions under MEMR (Geological Agency; Research and Development Agency; Directorate General of Oil and Gas; SKK Migas) and National Oil Company (Pertamina) decided the part of Papua as the area for oil and gas exploration this year (2014). The 2014 FGD is still on going to define the priority areas for 2015 exploration activities. Some candidates are South Sulawesi, border area of West Timor, and Southern part of Papua. Directorate General of Oil and Gas, Ministry of Mineral Resources, stated that Indonesia oil and gas reserves status on 1 January 2013, annotated as the aggregate of proven and potential reserves, are 7, million barrel of oil and trillion cubic feet of gas. Generally, most of oil fields in Indonesia have been in the highest peak production and now are in decrease. To increase the oil production, the government tries increasing oil recovery from existing fields, especially from the brown fields. Efforts are include improving production tools reliability to decrease unplanned shutdown, increasing operational efficiency, optimizing production facilities, infill drilling, and EOR implementation. To accelerate development of EOR, the Executive Agency for upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK MIGAS) asked all Production Sharing Contract Contractor(s) (KKKS), which have been producing, to implement EOR in their own field. Exploration for unconventional gas such as Coal Bed Methane (CBM) and shale gas is another main target in the and gas sector to increase gas production. Today Indonesia has 54 CBM Blocks (Figure 5) located in Sumatra and Kalimantan Islands, however all of them are not yet producing. On the other hand, the Research and Development Centre for Oil and Gas Technology LEMIGAS in collaboration with Pertamina has been conducting a pilot project for shale gas reservoir in the North Sumatera Basin. It is planned to drill a shale gas well in In this case, Pertamina has been awarded a block of shale gas working area in the North Sumatera area. Moreover, LEMIGAS is also performing shale gas mapping in the South Sumatera Basin to assess the potentialy of this gas resource. In order to anticipatee the implementation of CCS technology in Indonesia, the Research and Development Centre for Oil and Gas Technology LEMIGAS has developed a shortterm R&D Roadmap. LEMIGAS has been successfully mapping potential geological formations for CO 2 storage across the country along with their storage capacity. LEMIGAS has also identified large stationary CO 2 sources in Indonesia. Another assessment was focused on CO 2 management on low-rank coal utilization in South Sumatera and East Kalimantan. Since CCS requires extensive funds, international support from worldwide organization, such as IEA or ADB, plays an important role in funding CCS activities in Indonesia. With regard to this, the government of Indonesia is open for any kind of mutual cooperation for the benefit of both. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 92 CCOP Technical Secretariat

Summary During the period July 2013 to June 2014, the Marine Geological Research and Development Center has conducted coastal zone and marine geological and geophysical surveys in several areas such as: 1). Kisar Island, Maluku, Eastern Indonesia 2). Putri Island, Batam. 3). Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta, Central Jawa and 4) Morotai Island, North Maluku. The aims of these studies are to know coastal geological information with emphasis on the type and physical properties of lithology, relief and shoreline characteristics. 2. Sea-floor sediment sampling by using gravity corer and grab sampler for mineral resource exploration. 3. Carry out the bathymetric survey of sea floor morphology. 4. Single channel seismic reflection surveys for determining seismic sequence stratigraphy and geological structure. 5. Coastal environment and geo-hazards Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities Kisar Island, Southwest Maluku District, Maluku Province. The survey in Kisar Island included collection of bathymetric data, sea floor sediment and coastal characteristics along the coast of the study area. The bathymetric data of the study area showed relative uniformity around the island with depth between 50 m to 400 m closed to the coastline. In the northern part, the slope of the seafloor is greater than in the western and eastern part, with the northern part showing the slope is between 30 o -40 o but in the western and eastern parts between 10 o -30 o. Based on the 8 sediment samples that were taken from the around Kisar Island, the sea floor sediment types can be divided into 3 types sandy gravel, gravelly sand, and sand. Generally the sea floor sediment in Kisar island consists of sand and gravel which are from the coral reef and metamorphic rock in the island. The coastal characteristic of the study area are dominantly rocky-cliff beach and sandy beach and sand pocket beach. The rocky cliff consist of Quaternary coral reef which act as terraces due to tectonic activity in eastern Indonesia with of uplift 0,5 m/1000 years and total uplift reaching 150 meter above the sea level. Sand pocket beach is found as small as between rocky cliff such as at Kisar, Kimur, Naitemenm, Partukil, Yemi Hair beaches. Sand is white in color, fine grained, rounded to sub - rounded composed of bio - clastic debris from coral reef. Sand and gravel are located on rocky flats and composed of coral reef debris Putri Island, Riau Islands Province. Putri Island is located in the northern part of Batam Islands. The aim of the survey of this area was to conduct a coastal geological survey in relation to the environmental geology and coastal development. The results are as follows: Seismic reflection profile data show the sand deposit is very thick in the offshore area. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 101 CCOP Technical Secretariat

105 Bathymetric data show the morphology to be very steep close to the coastline and becoming gradually flat to the sea at 22 m water depth. In the northeastern part the bathymetry becomes deeper, up to 56 meter. Base on the data of coastal characteristic; the area is dominated by sandy beach and rocky beach. The mangrove beach is only located in the southern part of the study area in small amounts. Abrasion occurs in the northern part of the island. Based on the samples of sea floor sediments, the sediment of the area is dominantly gravelly sand with rounded and sub-rounded quartz fragments Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta, Central Java. Kulon Progo is located in the southern part of Central Java. The aims of this study wereto determine the environmental geology along the coastline including coastal characteristic, potential coastal hazards, and mineral resources. The bathymetric data show that the morphology is getting deeper to the southern part more steeply starting from 100 meter. Coastal processes and characteristics of Kulon Progo can be divided into 2 parts such as sand beach with gently sloping morphology and sand beach with flat morphology. Along the coastline of Kulon Progo heavy minerals such as magnetite and other black minerasl and quartz are abundant. Magnetite content is between 60 to 85 %. Brownish sand is only found in the river mouth with 50% content of magnetite Morotai Island, North Maluku. The study area is located at the north of Halmahera Island, North Maluku Province. The aim of the study is to know the potential for alternative energy and mineral resources, describe coastal processes and characteristic of the islands coastal environment, and geological hazards. The bathymetric data of Morotai Island show that the morphology is very shallow in the southern part with depth less than 50 m. In the northern part, the bathymetric data show between 0-25 m with some small islands like Ngele-ngele, Loleba and Dodola islands Coastal processes and characteristics or Morotai Island can be divided into 3 parts such as: mangrove beach, sandy beach and rocky cliff. Mangrove beach is found in Raja Beach to Gotalamo Beach, and characterized by mangroves, fluvial sediment, and sand pockets Sandy beach can be found from Daruba beach to Wawama beach. The color of sands is brownish black with size from fine grained to coarse grained and poorly sorted. Sand is dominated by biogenic debris from reef limestone. The rocky cliffs consist of reef limestones and are located in the middle of the study area such as in Cucu Mare beach. Sea floor sediment in the study area can be divided into silt and sand. The basement rocks of the study area are sedimentary rock and coral reef at the depth of 75 m and 25 meter respectively.

GEO-HAZARDS PROGRAMME 5.1.Summary Based on regulations and legislation in Indonesia, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources is conducting a national policy rule for geological hazard mitigation that is operated by the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation, Geological Agency. The main tasks of CVGHM are to conduct research, investigation and services of volcanology and geological hazard mitigation (volcanic eruption, earthquake, tsunami, and landslide), issue early warnings for volcanic activities and landslides, disseminate geological hazard information to local ggovernment and increase the knowledge (education) of communities who live in geological hazard zones and, also, produce geological hazard maps for supporting evacuation routes, spatial planning maps and risk maps. The other important tasks are to give technical recommendations to the local government, to conduct geological hazard mitigation efforts and to conduct evaluation of geohazard research investigations. Volcano mitigation has involved monitoring such processes as seismic, deformation, chemical gas content of magma on active volcanos in order to understand the stage of activity and to provide a volcano early warning system. Instrumentation and methods of monitoring are always being developed. In addition, volcano hazard zone mapping and an inventory of potential locations for volcano tourism were also undertaken. Earthquake and tsunami mitigation consists of activities such response to earthquake and tsunami disasters, mapping of earthquake and tsunami hazard zones, inventarisation of earthquake parameters in Indonesia via browsing the internet and other mass media, research of ground amplification, investigation on tsunamigenic events, and also updating the database of destructive earthquake in Indonesia. The program activity for the landslide sector has included quick responses on landslide disasters, mapping of landslide susceptibility, periodic monitoring of landslides in strategic and vital areas, survey of slope stability on the vital road lane, monthly landslide early warning and also establishment of a database of destructive landslides in Indonesia. 5.2.Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities Volcanos From the 127 active volcanoes in Indonesia, 69 are continuously monitored by CVGHM. During the period of July 2013 June 2014, twelve volcanoes erupted. Three eruption cases necessitated evacuation and caused fatalities. The Rokatenda eruption caused around 3,000 people to be evacuated and 6 fatalities due to pyroclastic flow. Sinabung eruption caused around 33,000 people to be evacuated and 17 fatalities due to pyroclasitc flow. Kelud eruption caused 100,248 people to be evacuated and 8 fatalities (indirectly, 6 due to collapsed houses and 2 due to lahars).

Summary During the period of July 2013 to June 2014, the environmental geology activities covered environmental geology mapping for land use planning and regional development, environmental geology mapping for domestic waste disposal site selection, environmental geology surveys in mining areas, geoheritage and medical geology inventories. The environmental geology mapping for land use planning and regional development was done in the autonomy regions or provinces where they have a high priority for development or where a high risk in change of geological environments is indicated. Intensive environmental geology mapping for domestic waste disposal site selection was carried out at the cities with rapid development. Environmental geology surveys in mining areas were done in areas where the presence of illegal mining and unreclaimed Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 106 CCOP Technical Secretariat

110 abandoned minines and quarries were found. Geoheritage inventory work was carried out in areas where there are conflicts of land use that may threaten the existence of geoheritage sites. Medical geology inventory work was carried out in areas that may have potential health problems that relate to natural or man-induced geological conditions. Another activity related to environmental geology was a one-day workshop on Geological Information for Jakarta Subsurface Spatial Planning Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities The environmental geological mapping for land use planning and regional development activities were done in the urban areas and autonomy regions that have high priority in their development or the regions whereas there are strong indications of a high risk in environmental damage. They include areas that are applying land use development and spatial planning without consideration of geological phenomena. The activities resulted environmental geological maps and recommendation maps for land use development. In this period, this activity has been carried out in the provinces of West Java, Central Java, Jambi, East Kalimantan, Bangka Belitung, West Nusatenggara, East Nusatenggara, Maluku, and West Sulawesi The environmental geological mapping for domestic waste disposal site selection was done in a city where waste disposal has become a local government problem. The one fast growing city selected for this activity was the city of Pekalongan (Central Java province). This activity resulted in a land suitability map for a waste disposal site based on geological condition and a recommendation for improving existing waste disposal sites. Medical geology inventory work was carried out at regencies of Bandung and Tasikmalaya (west Java province), Sukolilo and Gombong (Central Java province), Situbondo and Pacita ( East Java Province), and Pasaman (west Sumatera province). This activity gives preliminary information of natural geological condition or man-induced geological related activity that may affect human health. Environmental geology surveys in mining areas were done in the regencies of Subang and West Bandung (West Java province), Belitung, and Central Bangka (Bangka Belitung province). This activity gave some recommendations for optimizing mineral resources, for spatial and land use planning of abandoned minesites and reclamation and rehabilitation of abandoned pits and quarries. Geoheritage inventory work was carried out in the regencies of Sukolilo (Central Java province), Wonosari (Yoyakarta province), and Payakumbuh (West Sumatera province), Bangkalan (East Java provice), and Pangandaran (West Java province). This activity resulted in identification of specific geo-diversity that has a high value for scientific purposes A one-day workshop on Geological Information for Jakarta Subsurface Spatial Planning was carried out in Jakarta at the end of Subsurface spatial planning is a relatively new subject in the country. The aim of this workshop was to introduce a better understanding about subsurface spatial planning. Four papers have been presented at the workshop.

Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities For the period of July 2013 to June 2014, the Geological Agency finished all sheets in Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Malucca, Papua, Nusa Tenggara and Java by Geological Remote Sensing Interpretation at 1: scale in MapInfo and ArcGIS. Beside the Geological mapping, the Geological Agency also produced Geomorphological map in East Java and Quaternary Geology and Active Fault map. The Geological Agency has also published the Sedimentary Basin Atlas of 3 basins from the total of 128 Sedimentary Basins in Indonesia, these are: Taliabu, Timor, and Aru-Tanimbar. Sedimentary Basins, Research the Biak-Yapen Basin, Teluk Kau Basin, Tomini Basin and Karama with Geological Basic Data Development from outcrop observations and Laboratory Analysis such as : petrography, dating, paeleontology, geochemistry, etc. and metadata development : data gathering, nomenclature, data structure, design and implementation have also been undertaken. Updating Geological Maps used satellite imagery (Radar and optic images) from 1: or 1: to 1: scale in Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 108 CCOP Technical Secretariat

112 In this interpretation geological object characteristic can be seen in the satellite imagery (such as: lithology distribution, structural geology and other geological aspect) All aspects are combined with field observations and records. Geomorphological Mapping Geomorphological mapping is currently based on the image interpretation before checking in the field. The areas chose in East Jawa are Jatirogo, Tuban, and Mojokerto sheet. Quaternary Geological Mapping Quaternary Geological Mapping in took place in two areas in Central Java (Jepara) and East Java (Sedayu). The aim of quaternary geological mapping was to know the distribution of quaternary sediment in both the lateral (horizontal) and vertical dimensions. Information is acquired from hand bore holes between 5 to 10 meters depth. The results are used to make quaternary geological maps with legend as seen in figure 4. Active Fault Mapping Active fault mapping utilises the seismotektonic aspects from the area. In mapping took place in 2 areas in Southern Sumatra. The purpose of the mapping was mainly to establish earthquake occurred risk as usually earthquakes take place in the weak zone along an active fault. Airborne magnetic survey In survey took place in central Papua in the suothern and northern parts as seen the figure 3. This activity is continued from 2 years before to support oil and gas research in Papua. Airborne magnetic and radiometric survey took place together in Membramo dan Mapenduma area, Papua Provinsi, in The High Resolution Airborne Magnetic and Radiometric Papua (HRAMRP).

A brief introduction to JOGMEC s activities and achievements in Asia from July 2013 to June 2014 is given below. Departments mentioned in parentheses are the ones in charge Overseas exploration (Metals Exploration Department) To reduce early-stage risks in exploration for Japanese companies and facilitate their overseas mineral exploration activities, JOGMEC carries out mineral exploration jointly with various organizations abroad such as state mineral enterprises, regional governmental organizations, geological survey organizations, local mining companies, and major or junior mining companies that hold mineral properties ( Joint Venture Survey ). If the exploration results are positive, the equity interest is transferred to Japanese companies from JOGMEC. When a Japanese company owns or has assurances of ownership of exploration rights in an area with mineral potential, JOGMEC conducts projects and shares the costs with the corporation ( Overseas Geological Surveys ). In the past year, JOGMEC executed projects in 6 countries in Asia, namely Laos, Cambodia, Philippines, Myanmar, Kyrgyz and Uzbekistan Deep sea mineral resources exploration (Metals Mining Technology Department) In the effort to ensure the interests of deep sea mineral resources in offshore Japan, JOGMEC conducts surveys of deep sea mineral resources. JOGMEC conducted deep-sea drilling surveys using a research vessel (R/V) Hakurei in the Okinawa Trough and assessed the width and distribution of polymetallic sulphides discovered in Smallscale mining tools were used around sulphide mounds in the Okinawa Trough. Basic studies of processing/metallurgical technology and environmental impact assessment (EIA) as well as geological and geophysical surveys using the R/V Hakurei were conducted to assess cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts in offshore Minamitorishima (Marcus Island). An application for the exploration of cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts in high seas of the NW Pacific Ocean was approved at the 19th Annual Session of the International Seabed Authority (ISA) in July 2013, and JOGMEC entered into a fifteenyear exploration contract with ISA in January The ISA granted JOGMEC the exclusive right to explore the cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts in the high seas for the first time in the world.

117 1.2.4 Technology development and technical support (Metals Exploration Department and Metals Mining Technology Department) For the purpose of more efficient exploration, JOGMEC develops technologies for exploration (remote sensing and high-resolution geophysical technologies), production (extraction of metals from mineral ores and their enrichment) and recycling. JOGMEC also provides technical support to mining operation sites in developing countries. For example, at a tin mine in Indonesia, JOGMEC improved the processing technology of rare earth minerals and heavy minerals and the extraction technology of rare earth elements Mine pollution control (Metals Environment Management Department and Metals Finance Department) JOGMEC provides technical and financial support to Japanese local governments and companies so that they can implement efficient and reliable measures to prevent mine pollution. JOGMEC also provides technology and information on mine pollution control to several foreign governments. Seminars and workshops on mine pollution control for government officials and relevant organizations were held in Laos and Myanmar using the past experience of Japan in pollution control. Having received a request from Laos, JOGMEC conducted a survey and technical training on its pollution site. JOGMEC and the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy of Cambodia signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), under which JOGMEC dispatched a mine safety expert.

ENERGY PROGRAMME 2.1 Oil and Gas Resources The major activities on energy resources in Japan during the past years were concerned with oil, gas, methane hydrates and geothermal resources. There was little activity on coal. Geothermal resources have continuously been attracting attention since the nuclear power plant accident in Japan. In 2013, Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), who provide both financial and technical support to private oil and gas exploration companies, has taken over the exploration and development programs for coal and geothermal resources previously operated by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) Oil and gas Domestic Exploration The major domestic oil and gas fields are located in the Niigata sedimentary basin and Akita-Yamagata basin, both in the Sea of Japan side of northeastern Honshu. Several oil and gas fields were found in the central zone of Hokkaido, which extends north and south. Some oil and gas fields are expected to exist in the basins along the Pacific Ocean side. In the FY 2013, investigations and developments were carried out in several oil and gas fields. The Technology Research Center (TRC) of JOGMEC operated various technological projects including methane gas hydrate exploration, enhanced oil recovery Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 114 CCOP Technical Secretariat

JOGMEC plans a new R&D support program, in which Japanese industries will provide their advanced technology to oil development projects in petroliferous countries, in JOGMEC has continued 2D and 3D seismic survey projects in offshore Japan since 2008, with Shigen, a vessel dedicated to 3D seismic exploration, and processing he data at a center in JOGMEC. Exploration activities of the domestic private sector were carried out mainly by Japan Petroleum Exploration Co., Ltd. (JAPEX), INPEX Corporation, and JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration (JX). The new offshore exploratory well named Sado Nansei-Oki in the deep sea Joetsu Basin was drilled by JX in the spring of 2013 with the government support. Though the survey result did not prove to be satisfactory, some important geological data were obtained. JAPEX has started a new tight oil initiative program at the Onagawa formation in the Akita-Yamagata sedimentary basin. * JOGMEC: * JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration: * JAPEX: Overseas Exploration Activities Japanese oil development companies have been exploring and developing oil and natural gas resources all over the world, and have especially interest in Southeast Asia, PNG, Western Australia, Middle East, Africa, Norway, UK, Caspian Sea, Russia, North America, Venezuela and Brazil.

119 objective is the R&D for gas production in offshore methane hydrate fields in Japan. The offshore test for producing gas from gas hydrate by depressurization was performed at Atsumi No.2 Knoll in the Nankai Trough area by JOGMEC and JAPEX from February to April 2013 for the first time in the world. Chikyu, a riser drill vessel of JAMSTEC, was used for the production test. Some amount of methane gas was successfully produced for six days. The outline of the test is available at the MH21 website. The main mission of the Methane Hydrate Research Center of AIST ( is to develop safe and efficient methods for producing natural gas from methane gas hydrate. It has carried out the analyses and characterization of in-situ pressured core samples of hydrate concentrated layers, and also the physicochemical behavior analysis during gas production from gas hydrate deposit through simulation and history matching. On the other hand, GSJ, AIST continues basic geological and geochemical research on gas hydrate deposits. Geophysical and sedimentological characterization has been conducted for shallow subsurface hydrate deposits in the offshore Joetsu (the southern part of Niigata Prefecture) area with the University of Tokyo and Japan Marine Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) since Meiji University and GSJ have started a research program supported by METI on the resource potential evaluation of the shallow seabottom hydrate deposits along the offshore area of the Sea of Japan side since Our survey for shallow subsurface hydrates is ongoing in offshore Joetsu, Oki Trough and Mogami Trough in Figure 2.

120 increasingly active, being carried out in more than 20 areas. Especially, small-scale binary-cycle power generation in hot spring areas has been attracting public attention. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has revived the R&D budget for the development of geothermal energy in FY 2013 after a dormant decade, and several research programs were started by Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) and New Energy and Industrial Science Development Organization (NEDO). JOGMEC started a five-year project of developing evaluation and management technologies of geothermal reservoir, and made a feasibility study on reservoir exploration technology by means of seismic waves. NEDO started studies on development of environment-friendly geothermal power generation system, development of binary-cycle system for low-temperature resources such as hot springs, and development of the technologies for environmental protection and shortening of environmental assessment period Research Activity in GSJ, AIST GSJ joined the JOGMEC s new project Development of evaluation and management technologies of geothermal reservoirs together with Geothermal Energy Research & Development Co., Ltd. and Okuaizu Geothermal Co., Ltd. The goals of this project are 1) recovery of steam generation by additional recharge of river water into the geothermal reservoir, and 2) development and systematization of related/supporting techniques. The experimental site is the Okuaizu geothermal filed, where Yanaizu-Nishiyama GPP is working. In the first year, surveys (such as MT, AMT, gravity, and designing of microearthquake observation system), data analyses and simulations for determining the location of the recharge target were made. The recharge well will be drilled in the latter half of GSJ started the ERIA (Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia) project Sustainability Assessment of Utilizing Conventional and New-Type Geothermal Resources in East Asia in September This is a two-year research project to extract common and field-dependent aspects, finding common/individual solutions and sharing information to improve technology for sustainable geothermal utilization in Asian countries. China, Indonesia, Japan (leader), Korea, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam are joining this project. In the first year, a questionnaire survey was made among the member countries and the answers were analyzed to figure out common characteristics and problems on geothermal development in the member countries. The empirical studies of hot spring power generation using Kalina cycle in Matsunoyama spa, Niigata and the study of regional geothermal resource evaluation have been continued. AIST founded a new branch laboratory the Fukushima Renewable Energy Institute, AIST (FREA) in Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture in April 2014, aiming to promote R&D on renewable energy. FREA is conducting extensive research on renewable energies such as photo voltaic, wind power, energy-utilizing network, hydrogen carrier, as well as geothermal.

GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME 3.1 Summary The Groundwater Research Group of the GSJ, AIST is conducting five research programmes: 1) study of coastal deep groundwater, 2) study of ground coupled heat pump system, 3) publication of hydro-environment maps, 4) technical transfer to Southeast Asian countries, and 5) basic study for groundwater hydrology. The groundwater research project with CCOP completed its Phase II, which ran from FY 2009 to FY The project compiled hydro-geological maps of the Chao-Phraya Plain, Thailand and the Red River Delta, Vietnam, of which the details are described in the section 3.3. Phase III of the project has started in April Figure 3. CCOP hydrological database of Chao Phraya Plain. 3.2 Scientific Research Activities for Groundwater GSJ is publishing hydro-geological maps of Japan. The maps give various information of hydrogeological understanding in digital form: water quality, temperature, flow condition, and water level. The water-environmental Map No.7 Kumamoto Plain, Kyushu (CD-ROM) was published as part of a new series of the Water-Environmental Map in the end of FY The Ishikari Plain, Hokkaido and Mt. Fuji Area of the series will be published in FY The tragic aftermath of the nuclear power plant accident caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake made Fukushima Prefecture resolve to be a pioneering center for renewable energy. The prefecture is actively pursuing the implementation for its goal. AIST opened the Fukushima Renewable Energy Institute (FREA) in April 2014, which is expected to become a hub for the research and development on renewable energy. There are a number of challenges to overcome in utilizing renewable energy, such as drastic temporal output fluctuations, high costs, and the need to select the most appropriate technology for each site. The mission of FREA is to develop new technologies to overcome these difficulties, and to share them with the rest of the world. The Shallow Geothermal and Hydrogeology (SGH) Team in FREA will compile potential maps of ground-source heat pump (GSHP) Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 118 CCOP Technical Secretariat

123 4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME GEO-ENVIRONMENT SECTOR 4.1 Coastal environment of Okinawa islands, Japan The study of the coastal environment of Okinawa/Ryukyu islands and the adjacent regions, one of the projects implemented by GSJ, covers the coastal areas of mainland Japan and the Southeast and South Asian countries from a comparative viewpoint. The objective of this research is to better understand the relationship between biogeochemical cycles and climate change at regional and global scales. The project consists of the analysis of geochemical parameters including elemental and stable isotopic composition of carbonates, as well as the investigation of biogeochemical processes and paleoenvironment. Corals record in their skeleton past climatic variability in tropical and subtropical regions, where instrumental records are limited. Past sea-surface temperature (SST) and salinity (SSS) are reconstructed mainly from the elemental components of annually-banded coral skeletons. However, the kinetic effect in the oxygen isotope values of low-growth coral (<5 mm/yr) skeletons can be a problem for sea surface temperature reconstruction. We conducted Sr/Ca-based SST reconstruction for a temperate Porites coral collected from Amakusa, Kyushu, Japan, near the northern latitudinal extent of reef-building corals. Oxygen isotope ratios from high-growth intervals were more highly correlated with SST than that of low-growth intervals, indicating growth-rate dependent sensitivity in oxygen isotope ratios. Conversely, Sr/Ca sensitivity was independent of growth rate, making it a more robust environmental indicator in low-growth corals. The results indicate that the Sr/Ca variations in a low-growth coral remain independent of growth rate, in contrast to the oxygen isotope ratios of the same coral. The result was published in Geochemical Journal (Hirabayashi et al., 2013, v.47, p.e1 e5). The geochemistry of the coral skeleton, particularly massive corals such as Porites spp., is a useful proxy for paleoceanographic variability. Whereas the oxygen isotope and Sr/Ca ratios in corals are used to reconstruct climatic variability, trace elements in coral, including heavy metals, have been analyzed to detect the influence of anthropogenic activities in adjacent coastal areas. Although land use changes and the resultant sediment loading into the area of reefs have been a concern around the mouth of the Todoroki River, Ishigaki Island, Japan, little is known about the historical changes of terrestrial inputs into coastal waters. We measured manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) concentrations in multiple coral skeletons (Porites spp.) collected around the mouth of the Todoroki River to examine the impact of anthropogenic activities on the adjacent coral reefs. The existing state of the elements Mn and Fe in bulk coral skeleton samples was examined by chemical cleaning experiment. The results suggest that Fe was not incorporated into the crystal lattice of the coral skeleton but that Mn was, as previously reported. The bulk sample data with and without chemical cleaning indicate that the spatial distribution of both elements in corals most likely reflects the salinity changes and amount of suspended particulate matter. The temporal variation of Mn and Fe, in particular the variation of baseline levels, mainly reflects the history of land development on Ishigaki Island. The results of the present study suggest that Mn may be a useful proxy for river discharge depending on local marine conditions. The result was published in Coral Reefs (Inoue, 2014, doi: /s ).

Field surveys were not conducted in FY The middle Holocene sea-level changes were investigated in the coastal regions in and around the Mekong River delta, Vietnam, and in the Malay Peninsula, Malaysia. Sealevel highstands above the present sea level were reported in these areas (Statteger et al., Global and Planetary Change, 110, ; Parham et al., Journal of Quaternary Science, 29, ). The initiation of the Changjiang (Yangtze) delta and its response to the early- to middle- Holocene sea-level change were reported based on the collaborative studies with East China Normal University (Song et al., Palaeogeography Palaeoclimatology Palaeoecology, 388, 81 97; Wang et al., Journal of Quaternary Science, 28, ). A joint study on high-resolution sea-level changes in the Changjiang delta during the early Holocene is on-going with the university. Coastal erosion and coastal geology in the western part of the Yellow Sea to the Jiangsu coast were studied as a collaborative study by GSJ and the Qingdao Institute of Marine Geology, China Geological Survey. The results were published in two papers (Liu et al., 2013, Marine Geology, 344, 19 33; Zhou et al., 2014, Continental Shelf Research, 82, 43 59). Joint research on the Holocene to late Quaternary geology in the Bohai Sea are on-going. A new three-year research program on the Mekong River delta and its sustainability with HCMC Institute of Resources Geography, VAST (Japanese Leader: Saito), which is supported by JSPS, started in September 2013 as a part of BF project DELTAS. Two Vietnamese researchers were invited to GSJ in March 2014 to conduct collaborative studies on coastal dunes and the Mekong River delta for 10 days with the support from the coastal dune project (Leader: Tamura) and other GSJ project.

Trenching study on the Narabonchi-toen fault zone in Nara Prefecture Programme Contact Person: Dr. Toshikazu Yoshioka, Institute of Earthquake and Volcano Geology (IEVG), GSJ, AIST Studies of seismotectonics GSJ plans to publish local seismotectonic maps of the Japanese islands based on multiple sets of stress indicators. Earthquake focal mechanisms are the most effective stress indicator that can constrain the stress field at the depths where earthquakes are actually occurring. This study also plans to exploit other information including in-situ stress measurements, geodetic observations, active faults and folds, together with numerical simulation of crustal deformation, which are especially useful to infer stress fields in the area that are characterized by low background seismicity. The Kanto district including the northwest margin of the Kanto Plain (Kanto-heiyahokuseien) fault zone and Tachikawa fault zone was chosen for a case study. The focal mechanism solutions were determined for more than 700 microearthquakes shallower than 25 km over approximately the past 10 years to construct a local stress map in the area. Most of the earthquakes show a reverse faulting mechanism, while ones with strikeslip faulting components are also occurring throughout the region. The fact that normalfaulting earthquakes locally distribute below the southern extremity of the Lake Kasumigaura was also found. A sudden change in the stress field across the Kanto-heiya-hokuseien fault zone is another conspicuous feature: P-axes on the northeast side of the fault zone are oriented in the E-W direction, which is consistent with the overall stress regime in northeastern Japan, while those in southwestern Japan are oriented in the NE-SW direction. The same feature was already suggested by Suzuki (1989), and the availability of abundant data is expected to clearly indicate the state of the stress around the boundary. The stress Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 122 CCOP Technical Secretariat

Purple squares represent the location of our temporary seismic observation. Programme Contact Person: Dr. Kazutoshi Imanishi, Institute of Earthquake and Volcano Geology (IEVG), GSJ, AIST Studies of subduction zone paleoearthquakes After the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, it has been socially recognized that evaluating paleotsunami by geological survey is useful to forecast the inundation magnitude of future giant tsunami, because the extent of tsunami inundation during the 2011 event is proved to be similar to that of the historically known 869 Jogan tsunami, which is evidenced by past tsunami deposits. GSJ therefore conducts field surveys on tsunami deposit along the Pacific coast of the Japanese islands. In 2013, surveys were conducted in Shimokita Peninsula, Boso Peninsula, Shizuoka Prefecture, Mie Prefecture, Shionomisaki Cape and Kochi Prefecture, and new evidence of past tsunamis was found in each area. In the coastal lowland of Shizuoka area facing the eastern part of the Nankai Trough, at least four sand sheets were identified from marshy deposit whose age is dated up to 1,500 years old. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the sand sheets were formed by large historical tsunamis, which are recorded in ancient documents and each of which is correlated with the past earthquakes, namely, Hakuho earthquake in 684, Ninna in 887, Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 123 CCOP Technical Secretariat

127 Eicho in 1096 and Meio 1498, respectively. The distribution of geological evidence suggests that the 1498 Meio tsunami inundated into at least 3 km further inland. Valuable data were obtained also in other surveyed areas. Thise new evidence for the past tsunamis will be a key to evaluate the magnitude of tsunami inundation and contribute to mitigating tsunami risk. Figure 7. Survey areas for paleotsunami conducted in 2013 (right) and geomorphological classification map showing the coring survey points in the Ota-gawa coastal lowland in Shizuoka Prefecture, and the columnar section with photo of the tsunami deposit whose age is dated to be within the past 1,500 years (left).

Groundwater level and groundwater temperature are observed in each well, and a multicomponent borehole strainmeter and a borehole tiltmeter were installed at the bottom of either the 600 or 200 meters deep well. In 2013, two other observatories (NSZ and NHK) have been completed, which totals sixteen observatories as of June In order to develop new techniques to detect short-term slow slip events (S-SSEs) along subduction zones, detection of S-SSEs via groundwater observations were attempted. At ANO station, groundwater pressures, which are sensitive to volumetric strain, were observed to detect changes corresponding to each of the six S-SSEs that occurred near ANO from June 2011 to April in These changes in the groundwater pressure are roughly in accordance with theoretical changes in groundwater pressure estimated by fault models of the S-SSEs, which is determined by the crustal strain and tilt data (Figure 8).

Programme Contact Person: Dr. Norio Matsumoto, Institute of Earthquake and Volcano Geology (IEVG), GSJ, AIST International collaborative surveys on active faults and paleoseismology We conduct collaborative paleoseismological works with the General Directorate of Mineral Research & Exploration (MTA) in Turkey under the MoU between MTA and GSJ. In FY 2013, we performed a 3-D paleoseismic trench survey on the 1939 surface rupture, which is the longest in the 20th century earthquake sequence along the North Anatolian fault system. The spatial distribution of buried channel deposits was determined in both fault-crossing and fault-parallel trenches in order to obtain the frequency of past earthquakes and determine the amount of slips caused by individual events. The result shows the cumulative slips amount to 17.1m for four paleoearthquakes and 22.5m for five paleoearthquakes. Further analysis on dating for individual paleoearthquakes will be helpful to understand the variation of paleo-slips during past seismic cycles.

131 5.3 Asia-Pacific Region Global Earthquake and Volcanic Eruption Risk Management (G-EVER) The G-EVER Consortium was established among the geohazard research institutes in the Asia-Pacific region in G-EVER aims to formulate strategies to reduce the risks caused by earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions worldwide. The 2nd G-EVER Symposium and the IUGS & SCJ International Workshop were held in Sendai, Tohoku Japan in October 19-20, The workshop was attended by 94 individuals from 12 nations and regions and 30 national and international institutes. The participants crafted and endorsed the Sendai Agreement unanimously ( The working group on Risk Mitigation of Large-Scale Earthquakes made historical datasets for Vietnam and Philippines, and active faults and earthquake source area data for the region, while the working group on Risk Mitigation of Large- Scale Volcanic Eruptions conducted field surveys at Sumbing and Sundoro volcanoes in Indonesia to reveal the detailed eruption history and identify precursor activities prior to major volcanic eruptions. The Next-Generation Volcanic Hazard Assessment working group is developing a system useful for eruption prediction, risk assessment, and evacuation schemes at various eruption stages. A preliminary version of the G-EVER Volcanic Hazard Assessment Support System that can run energy cone and Titan 2D simulations at any volcano in the world (ca. 3,300 volcanoes) has become available since 2013 (Figure 12A). The system using ASTER Global DEM (30m resolution) and 10m DEM dataset is currently used for simulations covering Japan. The Asia-Pacific region earthquake and volcanic hazard mapping project aims to develop an advanced online information system that provides the information of past and recent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions (e.g., age, location, scale, affected areas and fatalities), and risk assessment tools for earthquake and volcanic eruption hazards. The new version of the Eastern Asia Geological Hazard Map of the Commission for the Geological Map of the World (CGMW) will be published in A preliminary version of the Eastern Asia Earthquake and Volcano Hazards Map was presented at the CGMW General Assembly held at the UNESCO headquarters, Paris in February The Asia-Pacific Figure 12.

ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY PROGRAMME 6.1 Activity Report of the Geological Survey of Japan Nuclear waste disposal The Research Core for Deep Geological Environments (DGCore) of GSJ, AIST supports the government through its geoscientific research mainly in establishing safety regulations. DGCore has been engaged in two issues: a study for assessment protocols of the bedrock barrier performance, and another for the ground water properties and retardation capacities for the nuclide. The former study evaluates long-term probabilities of geological disturbances at the repository site, such as earthquakes and fault movements, near-surface igneous activities, tectonic uplift and subsidence, and erosion, with appropriate certainty in terms of prediction time scale and area of impact. The relevant databases of their geological and tectonic properties were updated, particularly the Database of Quaternary Volcanic and Intrusive Rock Bodies in Japan were greatly improved throughout the Japanese territories with detailed description of 630 occurrences. This revision almost doubled the amount of data compared to the previous version. The study of ground water properties includes genesis and age of specific aquifers by multi-isotope analyses, cultivation and outflow GIS database, and deep crustal fluid occurrences mapping. Such specific knowledge and techniques will support general understanding of the site requirements, by which safety assessments are judged before the detailed site surveys. The Institute for Geo-Resources and Environment (GREEN), another research unit of AIST, summed up the 5-year government project with the investigation of the groundwater behavior along the saltwater-freshwater interface at Horonobe, Hokkaido, north Japan.

133 6.1.2 Soil contamination Remediation of soil and groundwater contaminated by different kinds of contaminants, such as heavy metals, volatile organic components (VOCs), agricultural chemicals, and radioactive substances, remains a big challenge even in developed countries including Japan. R & D associated with characterization, remediation and risk assessment of various kinds of contaminants together with development of intellectual infrastructure have been performed in GSJ, mainly at the Geo-Environmental Risk Research Group. Representative research topics in the last year are as follows: 1) Development of an assessment package for management of the wastes released from off-site decontamination works. The Geo-Environmental Risk Assessment System (GERAS), originally developed at AIST, has been improved for assessing the transport and risk of radioactive substances around a storage facility. The technology for rapid detection of low concentration radioactive cesium in water has been improved and used for environmental monitoring. 2) Characterization of the leaching properties of heavy metals from naturally contaminated soils. More than 45 naturally contaminated soil samples taken from different regions were tested to characterize the leaching properties of heavy metals, such as Pb and As. The relationships between the leaching properties and chemical and mineral compositions were discussed. The findings are significantly useful for long-term management of abandoned metal mines and design of remediation strategies for heavy metal pollutions, especially for the establishment of risk-based remediation measures. 3) Evaluation of the toxicity and concentration of metal elements using bioassay technology. Luminous bacteria were used to quantitatively evaluate the toxicity and concentration of different kinds of metals including Cr, Cd, Pb, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn and Sn. 4) Development of the technologies for remediation of VOCs. Experimental studies on bioremediation of the soils contaminated by multiple VOCs, such as TCE, cis-dce and benzene were performed. New findings illustrated that such contaminated soils can be biologically remediated through reductive and oxidative degradations. In addition, the use of acid soils containing sulfides was found to be effective for remediating VOCs through chemical decomposition. 5) Development of the intellectual infrastructure associated with soil contamination. Investigation towards the publication of the geochemical and risk assessment maps of Ibaraki Prefecture, and ring tests on leaching of PCB, PAH and dioxin from soils, biowaste and sludge were performed to develop the ISO standards. 6) International cooperation. International cooperative projects such as GSJ-DMR bilateral cooperation project on development of river-water quality simulation model for Southeast Asia and a SATREPS (Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development) project on management of solid waste in Sri Lanka are now ongoing. Information about the above research topics and other research subjects are available at the following link.

134 6.1.3 CO 2 Storage (CCS) To provide technical support and information for the practical use of CO 2 geological storage, we have launched a joint research project on safety evaluation with national research institutes under the U.S. Department of Energy. The project includes two subjects: the development of cost-effective geophysical monitoring tools and the development of fault modeling techniques with geomechanical processes. The study with the former subject, conducted with LANL (Los Alamos National Laboratory), aims to develop cost-effective and multilateral geophysical monitoring tools that can be used to complement seismic surveys. Baseline monitoring including gravity, self-potential, and natural micro-earthquake measurements have been carried out at an EOR (enhanced oil recovery) test site in the USA since 2013, where a CO 2 geological storage demonstration project has been conducted by the Southwest Partnership on Carbon Sequestration (SWP). ( The latter, conducted with LBNL (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory), aims to develop modeling techniques to incorporate geological deformation and geomechanical processes into a numerical simulation model for predicting long-term CO 2 behavior and the risk assessment. Natural-analogue technique and related laboratory experiments are applied on sedimentary rocks to construct a model with faults. Works on two interdisciplinary research issues have been continued: 1) development of risk assessment tools, 2) prediction of the impact of carbon capture/storage projects on subsurface microbes. A possibility of carbon storage for enhanced microbial energy production in deep subsurface environments has been successfully investigated. We have promoted technology exchanges and the dissemination of our research and development results taking every opportunity such as CCOP s CCS-M meetings and the sixth joint workshop on the CO 2 geological storage, which we organized with the Korea Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) at Jeju, Korea, in December Programme Contact Person: Dr. Shinsuke Nakao, Institute of Geo-resources and Environment (GREEN), GSJ, AIST sh-nakao@aist.go.jp 6.2 Activities of Other Institutes, Universities and Organizations Kanazawa University Kanazawa University conducted activities in the CCOP region, mainly from an educational standpoint, from the second half of 2013 to the first half of 2014 as follows: As one of the capacity building programmes related with the research activities in the Angkor World Heritage and the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve of UNESCO in Cambodia stated below, the university sent eight undergraduate students to the Authority for Protection and Management of Angkor and the Region of Siem Reap (APSARA National Authority) of Cambodia from August to September The students attended ordinary works of the authority to observe various management processes, such as monitoring of groundwater levels and afforestation in the heritage area, to learn how to sustain the environment of the heritage and the reserve.

143 2. ENERGY PROGRAMME 2.1. Summary Unconventional resources such as coalbed methane (CBM), shale gas, and oil sand, etc. will play a more important role in oil and gas supply in the future. The Korean government is very interested in developing technologies for securing energy sources from overseas countries. From 2012, KIGAM has started new projects for developing technologies for CBM and shale gas, and constructing an information system of overseas petroleum basins. In the coalbed methane project, KIGAM has undertaken construction of an experimental system, basin analysis and reservoir characterization in Indonesian coal reservoir with the Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS). Also a new project Development of technology for shale gas reservoir characterization and evaluation has been launched in KIGAM, which is directly related to shale gas. The importance of shale gas has been gradually increasing in the global energy market, but the domestic technology for shale gas resource is at its initial stage in Korea. In addition, to date, shale gas research in domestic terrestrial basins deposited after Cretaceous is rare, so the Korean government, research institutes, universities and industries want to validate shale gas potential in Korean terrestrial basins Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities In Korea, there are many companies that want to invest in the development of petroleum but they don t have much information of geology and petroleum in sedimentary basins so KIGAM has been performing a project which provides the companies with information on petroleum prospectivity of the sedimentary basins overseas as well as in the Korea offshore area. The sedimentary basins in Southeast Asia, Arctic region, Australia and New Zealand have been studied regionally by means of basin and petroleum system analysis. In the CBM project, a new analysis system for exploration well samples was constructed and key technologies were developed. First, the analysis procedure of the origin of methane gas and fermentation was constructed by using collected gas samples from exploration well. Second, the canister with temperature maintaining unit and a manometer capable of switching burette according to desorbed gas volumes were tested and utilized in exploration well samples. A characterization procedure for coal cleat system was constructed. That is CT image analysis of such properties as cleat length, density, frequency, and aperture size, etc. Also, by using cleat data, a stochastic 3D cleat system was generated and porosity and permeability of the generated system was measured. Finally, new geological models using previous oil and gas data (seismic and logging data) and additional exploration well data were constructed and reservoir simulation was performed for target areas.

145 Fig. 2.3 The location of terrestrial basin in Korea. The new shale gas project has been focused on the Gyeongsang and Haenam Basins, and many shale outcrops have been sampled in both basins. Using these samples,from the organic matter characteristics, porosity, mineral composition analysis and 1-D modeling of petroleum systems, the preliminary assessment of the shale gas resource for these basis have been carried out to evaluate the feasibility of a shale gas resource and to acquire technology for the characterization and evaluation of shale gas reservoirs. In the Gyeongsang and Haenam Basin, the average clay content is more than 47% and the thickness of single shale units is less than several meters. Most organic matter content of the shale in those basins is less than 2 wt% and it is dominantly Type III. In addition, about 70% of the generated gas in the Gyeongsang Basin was discharged as gas phase due to overmaturity of organic matter. Hence, the Gyeongsang and Haenam Basins appear to have low potential as a shale gas resource. Based on the rock mechanical properties of shale from Jinju and Daegu, the strain is higher in Jinju whereas the strength is higher in Daegu. The relationship between Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio shows inverse proportion in both areas, indicating high brittleness Proposed Future Activities KIGAM is planning to set up a new project, mapping of black shale formations for the prediction of shale resources, which will be performed during six years, starting in The purpose of this project is to outline the possible areas of shale resources in the CCOP member countries based on shale mapping. An additional objective will be capacity building in shale resources exploration for CCOP member countries. The work of the project will include collection of drilling and map data, field trips, training, and assessment of potential areas.

Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities The CCOP Technical Secretariat (CCOP TS) will act as an implementing agency with KIGAM for the above project Assistance Offered to CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities The project will enhance the knowledge of unconventional shale resources for the CCOP member countries and will share all the results and information gained from the project.

GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME 3.1. Summary With global climate change, groundwater will play a more important role in water supply in the future. So in 2012 KIGAM started a new research program entitled "Development of integrated core technologies in aquifer recharge systems for groundwater sustainability" in and a World Class Department (WCD) research program "Assessment of Mass Exchange in Hydrospheric Interfaces through Eco-hydrogeological Technologies" in Basically, the research will continue to be performed for 3 years. Another research program is about groundwater level restoration of riverside porous aquifers 3.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities Development of integrated core technologies in aquifer recharge systems for groundwater sustainability The research sites for developing and testing the aquifer recharge system have been located at Yudeung-ri (research site 1) and Galjeon-ri (research site 2), both in Daesan-myeon, Changwon City. Two multi-level monitoring wells and three regular monitoring wells were installed at the research site 2. The results of core logging showed a vertical distribution of clay, silty sand, sandy silt, sand, and gravel with color changes indicating variable redox conditions. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 143 CCOP Technical Secretariat

147 Fig. 3.1 Study sites for the application of aquifer recharge system Well logging and electrical resistivity surveys were performed in order to delineate the structure of alluvium and characterize the aquifer in the artificial recharge site. A horizontally continuous thick alluvial layer is developed, while the considerable change of natural gamma intensity means different sedimentary environments at the boundary of 12 meters. From the results of two dimensional electrical resistivity monitoring and temperature and electrical conductivity logs, the aquifers are indicated as very heterogeneous and show distinct connectivity toward the river from the pumping well. A long-term injection-pumping test was performed at a radially-convergent ASTR pilot system in Changwon, Korea for about 14 days (from September 25 to October 9, 2013). Injected water was from Nakdong-river. The result of monitoring groundwater level fluctuations during the long-term injection-pumping test indicates that overall hydrogeologic connectivity of the study site is highly heterogeneous. In addition, a system has been studied to treat the injection water for the aquifer recharge system at our test site. The system consists of two separated parts, a centrifugal part to separate dense impurities like coarse sand, and a filtration part to remove suspended solids like fine clay particles. The results show that up to 70% of coarse sand and suspended solids in the injection water could be removed by this system Assessment of Mass Exchange in Hydrospheric Interfaces through Ecohydrogeological technologies An international collaborative research project between KIGAM and USGS (United States Geological Survey) was launched in 2013 as part of KIGAM s World Class Department program awarded to the Groundwater Department. This multidisciplinary research team is composed of hydrologists, geochemists, microbiologists, and mineralogists from KIGAM, USGS, and VIMS (Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences). The overarching goals of the collaborative project are to identify the processes influencing the fate of nitrate and ammonium during discharge from groundwater to surface water, to understand the time scales of these processes, and to identify the controls on these processes and their time scales.

148 The airborne thermal remote sensing technique has a potential to reveal the locations of coastal spring and submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) where temperature anomaly exists between discharged groundwater and seawater. We have developed the high resolution airborne thermal infrared remote sensing system in order to map the locations of SGD around Jeju volcanic island. The airborne thermal imagery captured strong cold plumes along the coastline, which are associated with fresh submarine groundwater discharge. The size and intensity of plumes were dynamically changing depending on sea level and groundwater discharge rates. The chemical composition of sampled water is highly correlated with temperature and salinity, which implies dynamic changes of near-shore environment by a mixing of fresh water and seawater. The study results demonstrate that the airborne thermal infrared system is an useful method for detecting SGD on a regional scale. Fig. 3.2 Location of study site (left), structure of seawater intrusion monitoring (SWIM) probe (right) Groundwater level restoration of riverside porous aquifer The overall goal of this project is to restore the groundwater level of a riverside porous aquifer by developing a sustainable water curtain cultivation system coupled with artificial recharge by rainwater and used groundwater. The goal of this year is to develop a rainwater harvesting system which can collect and inject more than 20% of rainwater collected from a greenhouse field. The test bed for demonstrating a groundwater level restoration system in a middle size riverside area was sited at Cheonwon, Chungbuk province where water curtain cultivation facilities exit. In the current year hydrogeological properties are being investigated to give design parameters of aquifer-circulating water curtain cultivation system (ACWCCS). The pilot scale ACWCCS was constructed for two water curtain cultivating green houses at the test bed and rainwater injection efficiency was evaluated. A pilot scale rainwater harvesting and aquifer circulating system of used groundwater was constructed near newly installed injection and pumping wells A rainwater/used groundwater collection ditch and manhole equipped with a filtering system was installed at the downstream end of the furrow between two greenhouses. To evaluate the pilot system, injection tests were performed under non-pumping and pumping conditions and rainwater collection efficiency was measured. The rainfall harvesting system collected most of the rainfall within the pilot system application area on April 23, 2013, and could inject all the Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 145 CCOP Technical Secretariat

150 4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME GEO-ENVIRONMENT SECTOR 4.1. Summary There were several coastal zone programmes implemented in a geological context or with geological technology. They are mainly focused on environmental characters, evolution under natural or artificial changes, mitigation or adaptation technologies against hazardous agents, and economic potential. Recently outreach programmes were also started for the public. Most large-scale programmes are proposed and launched by the central government. The scale would be regional or nationwide and has a comparatively long-term strategy and implementation plan. The major sectors of the central government involved are the Ministry of Ocean and Fisheries (MOF), the Ministry of Environment (MOE), the Ministry of Trade, Industry & Energy implementation (MOTIE), and the Ministry of Science, ICT and future Planning (MSIP). Programme execution is undertaken mainly by governmental administration or institutes. The Korea Hydrographic & Oceanographic Administration (KHOA) would be a representative example for surveys and monitoring projects. Research and development (R&D) projects are usually conducted by governmental institutes such as the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST), the National Environment Research Institute (NERI), and the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM). In some cases local governments or public companies are also playing significant roles to conduct small-scale or specialized coastal zone programmes. Usually, due to shortage of professional staff, they work together with academia, research institutes and private companies. Metropolitan cities and provinces, Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Company Ltd. (KHNP), Korea Rural Community Corporation (KR), Korea Water Company (KOWACO) and Korea Rural Community Corporation (KR) would be good examples. Last year a new government programme was launched by MOF in order to track ancient extreme climate events. Totally ten universities, institutes and companies joined the programme, one of which is KIGAM as a collaborative partner. The main target of KIGAM participation is to search for storm-driven geological proxies in coastal zones so that the other partners could assess future impacts of extreme events.

Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities Coastline surveys and database construction for coastal zone and economic exclusive zone management KHOA, funded by MOF, is conducting several survey programmes in the coastal zones of Korea. Among them two programmes are noteworthy as they have been done systematically over a long period. They are coastline survey and database construction for precise determination of maritime boundaries of Korea and underwater information survey and the establishment of databases for the development and preservation of the coastal areas. Fig 4.1 A screen capture of the homepage of Korea Hydrographic & Oceanographic Administration (KHOA) Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 148 CCOP Technical Secretariat

152 The main purposes of the former are to determine the accurate base line of territorial sea and exclusive economic zone as well as to better manage those areas. For these purposes information on coastline changes, shore erosion or siltation, sea level changes, distribution of significant sites (e.g. tourist sites, reclaimed area, waste disposal area), coastal land use status, tides, water depths and topography are surveyed. All data collected in the field are then stored in a database for later usage in environmentally-friendly development of our coasts (see According to the long-term plan the territorial sea area, within 12 miles offshore from the coastline (ca. 22,000 km2 ), is to be surveyed by 2015 through the second programme. The survey team is required to use up-to-date technology to collect data. Major items surveyed are the physical characteristics of sea water, bathymetry, sub-bottom profile, marine facilities and dangerous navigational obstacles, all of which will be stored in a database in order to be used for development and preservation of the coastal zones Monitoring sediment dynamics and beach morphology evolution along and adjacent to the Saemangeum Dyke In 2011, after the completion of construction of the grand dyke (Saemangeum Dyke; 33.9 km long), the central government launched a new national project, Saemangeum Development Project (SDP). The main purpose of the SDP is to build a global city inside the dyked area as a front runner of green growth. The spatial extent of the reclaimed area is ca. 283 km2 with a lake of 118 km2 surrounded by four segments connecting two cities (Kunsan and Buan) through small islands. Since 1991 shoreface and nearshore morphodynamics have been systematically monitored by KR and Kunsan National University. As the sea area cut by the dyke (ca. 401km 2 ) is large enough to change the whole surrounding areas, the Korean government and people have paid much attention to the negative impact on local or regional environmental conditions. Major monitoring is targeted on those items such as long-term beach profile, subtidal seafloor morphology, water quality and current modification. Long-term data over more than twenty years has been accumulated and is still being collected monthly at high precision. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 149 CCOP Technical Secretariat

Ten entities composed of universities, institutes and commercial companies participate in the programme for comprehensive and integrated approaches to geohazard mitigation issues. The programme is to be continued for five years, focusing on sedimentologic records in the west and south coasts and their origin, significance and future implications. Research activities are performed along the following tracks: 1. Seafloor morphology and sedimentary records orginating from extreme events ; 2. Basic data mining for forecasting enviornmental changes in coastal land area; 3. Examination and forecast of changes in sea level and coastal hydrodynamics based on an ocean circulation-wave combined model; and 4.

Above high tide level a shingle beach develops overlying an eroded aeolian sand dune which was formed by prevailing monsoonal winds International training on coastal geology and geohazards The International School for Geoscience Resources (IS-Geo) of KIGAM continued to operate an intensive training course on coastal geology and geohazards last year (Fig 4.5). The two-week course aimed to provide world-class lectures on coastal geology, to promote understanding of hazardous geological phenomena and to introduce the current situation of Korean coasts with some technical measures for hazard mitigation or human adaptation. The participants came from the Member Countries of the CCOP region and other developing countries. Prof. Dr. Andrew Short and Prof. Dr. Burg W. Flemming were invited todeliver two lecture modules on wave- and tide-dominated coasts, respectively. After each module a three-day field trip was made with the help of KIGAM staff. This training course is appreciated as a good opportunity for building a professional network among experts in coastal zone research.

155 4.3. Proposed Future Activities The CCOP region is an actively developing area owing to its rich natural and human resources. As a region with various countries that haveexperienced and overcome social and economic crises in short term, such unique experiences could be shared through noncommercial and unbiased sectors. Outreach based on collaborative research programmes on coastal zone geology and geohazards are recommended and these could be implemented as topic-oriented workshops, field data sharing, and exchange of scientists..

Summary KIGAM conducted several R&D projects on geohazards including earthquake monitoring and early warning of landslides on natural terrain. These projects are conducted as basic research programmes of KIGAM and national research programmes supported by the government. Several other organizations also perform their activities related with geohazards in Korea. Table 5.1 Technical Programmes/activities in Geo-hazards Programme Discipline Achievement Organization Earthquakes Landslides Visit of the Executive Secretary of CTBTO, Mr. Lassina Zerbo, to KIGAM Development of basic methods of landslide early warning based on rainfall infiltration velocity and soil suction Hosting a regular training course on landslide monitoring and assessment with support of KIGAM IS-Geo Construction of debris control dams A database of Cut-Slope Management Systems KIGAM KIGAM KFS KICT 5.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities Earthquakes Rapid intensity mapping for earthquakes is important to determine where the most severe hazard will be, and where the first aid should arrive as quickly as possible. KIGAM utilized the ShakeMap tool in order to test the rapid intensity map and to simulate intensity patterns with point and linear sources. KIGAM has adopted the infrasound technology to discriminate surface explosions from earthquakes in and around the Korean Peninsula since Since 2013 the detection rate of surface explosion by seismo-acoustic association has been improved by developing a technique to make a refined infrasound meta-detection catalog based on automatic detection algorithm and background noise removing techniques. In the aspect of international cooperation, KIGAM has been working with CTBTO to take Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 152 CCOP Technical Secretariat

156 part in the effort for making a peaceful world. In 2014, KIGAM had a very special guest from CTBTO, the Executive Secretary, Mr. Lassina Zerbo. During his visit to KIGAM, productive discussions for cooperation between the two organizations were carried out. Fig 5.1 Hazard estimation and discrimination study in the Korean Peninsula Landslides KIGAM performed a research project to develop a method of landslide early warning based on a real-time monitoring on natural terrain. The research has been funded by Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP) for five years since The major goal of the program is to develop basic and original technologies of landslide early warning under extreme rainfall conditions. For the research in the second research year, KIGAM studied appropriate methods of landslide monitoring, considering the triggering mechanisms of landslides in Korea. Based on their research results which selected important triggering factors such as rainfall intensity, volumetric water content and suction stress of soil particles, KIGAM performed laboratory column tests and soil suction tests to measure rainfall infiltration velocity and changes of suction stress of unsaturated soils by artificial rainfall. For the rainfall infiltration column tests, they sampled three kinds of major weathered soils which have high frequency of landslides in Korea and performed column tests to measure the infiltration velocity of rainfall under various conditions of rainfall and soil properties. The test results are analyzed to find a relationship between landslide triggering and rainfall infiltration velocity. Soil suction tests were conducted to find a mechanical cause of landslide triggering based on the theory of infinite slope stability analysis. Accurate measurement of soil suction stress can be applied to calculate the changes of the factor of safety with time. The test results will be used as basic data to develop effective landslide warning methods. If the research is performed successfully, there will be a significant advance in early warning technology of landslide hazards in the near future. KIGAM also hosted a regular training course on landslide monitoring and assessment from August 18 th to 29 th The course was opened to researchers on landslides and debris flows in the Asian countries to share scientific knowledge and skills on landslides and to strengthen preparedness against landslides in the Asian region. Prof. Filippo Catani of the University of Florence, Italy and Prof. Cees van Westen of the University of Twente, The Netherlands, delivered lectures for the training course. A total of 20 researchers from 12 countries joined the course and experienced important technologies and knowledge on Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 153 CCOP Technical Secretariat

ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY PROGRAMME 6.1 Summary There are more than 1,000 abandoned mines in the Republic of Korea (hereafter, Korea) and most of them became inactive before Acidification and toxic metal contamination of surface water and soil are the major environmental problems at the abandoned mine sites. A remediation project of mine sites has been implemented according to the long term schedule by the Korean government. The project consists mainly of the remediation of toxic metal contaminated soil, the collection and treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD), and the prevention of AMD generation and contaminant migration from mine waste. The R&D programmes for the development of remedial technology for the abandoned mine sites also have been implemented since the 1980s. The early stage of the R&D programme was focused on the passive treatment of AMD, the containment of mine waste and contaminated soil, and the revegetation of disturbed land. Recently, the R&D program has emphasised the development of technologies for the recovery of valuable metals from AMD and mine waste and biological treatment. We are also trying to apply the technology developed for last three decades to construction sites which have an acid drainage problem. 6.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities Bioremediation of Toxic Metal Contaminated Soil Abandoned mines present environmental hazards for a long period. In many parts of the world where mining activities have been shut down, problems related to control and reclamation of polluted areas for new activities arise such as acid mine drainage, soil acidification, and heavy metal contamination of soil. We previously investigated ureaseinduced calcite precipitation and the applicability of using a manufactured biocatalyst, BioNeutro-GEM, which is a mixture of calcium chloride, urea, and urease, to remediate heavy metal contaminated acidic mine soil. BioNeutro-GEM catalyzed the hydrolysis of urea in test columns containing actual mine soil and showed significant ph increase and heavy metal removal when compared to untreated columns. The manufactured BioNeutro-GEM was Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 154 CCOP Technical Secretariat

158 applied the Imki mine soil to identify the heavy metal removal efficacy and acidic soil remediation. Subsequent analyses revealed that BioNeutro-GEM successfully removed 55.2% of Cd, 33.6% of Mn, 55.4% of Pb, and 32.0% of arsenic, respectively. The results of this study suggest that the urease-based biocatalyst BioNeutro-GEM could potentially be used in the remediation of heavy metal contaminated mine soil. Further studies should be conducted to provide detailed heavy metal removal mechanisms of the current experimental parameters involved in mine soil remediation using BioNeutro-GEM agents.

159 6.2.2 Treatment and Valuable Metal Recovery of Acid Mine Drainage Acid drainage is generated by a combination of chemical and biological processes during oxidation of metal sulfides upon exposure to the atmosphere. Acid drainage typically contains high concentrations of heavy metals and sulfate, and its release into the environment causes the contamination of neighboring soils and water. We develop acid mine drainage (AMD) treatment technologies to overcome the limitations of existing treatment methods. This new technology is aiming to maximize the performance of a successive alkaline producing system (SAPS). Fig. 6.3 High performance SAPA column for high acidity acid mine drainage. Another AMD treatment system we are developing is a vertical flow reactor (VFR) designed for more effective removal of dissolved Fe and suspended solids with lower cost and smaller size of reactors. Fig Pilot scale vertical flow reactor. We have also developed the KIGAM-Selective Sequential Precipitation (K-SSP) process. The K-SSP system simultaneously treats metals and recovers profitable metals from acid mine drainage. Additionally, an environmentally-friendly Bio H 2 O gas generator was developed in the course of K-SSP process development.

However, our research area will be expanded to construction sites with an acid drainage problem. 6.4 Assistance Offered to CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities CCOP is required to be a leading organizer as well as a friendly advisor for the member and supporting countries, especially for international cooperative work and meetings.

161 7. CO2 GEOLOGICAL STORAGE R&D PROGRAM 7.1. Summary Carbon dioxide is a well-documented greenhouse gas, and much evidence indicates that anthropogenic CO 2 emissions are a major contributor to climate change. One promising technology to mitigate CO 2 emission is carbon capture and storage (CCS). Generally CCS involves capturing CO 2 from the flue gas of power plants, compressing it to liquid or supercritical fluids, and then injecting it into deep saline aquifers for long-term storage. Compared with other mitigation technologies, such as renewable energy, CCS is important because it may enable the continued use of fossil fuels, which currently supply over 80% of the primary power and electric power generation currently accounts for around 40% of worldwide CO 2 emissions. Moreover power plants are large and stationary point sources of emissions where CO 2 capture technology could be applied and will likely be deployed first. Application of CCS technology to coal-fired power plants is highly prioritized because they emit more CO 2 than any other type of plant. The characterization of CO 2 storage target strata is a government-level program funded by Ministry of Trade, Industry & Energy (MOTIE, former MKE: Ministry of Knowledge Economy) of Korea, and it will evolve to the demonstration project of CO 2 geological storage before the commercial stage. The main purpose of the programme is to characterize CO 2 storage capacity of onshore and near-shore sedimentary basins and to develop the basic design technology for the future commercial scale CO 2 storage around KIGAM has been leading the program with another 20 cooperating universities and institutions. Characterization (Fig. 7.1) and monitoring techniques development are the main themes of these KIGAM s ongoing basic programme in Korea Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities The Tertiary Pohang basin is the most potential demonstration CO 2 storage site on shore and/or near shore areas. KIGAM will execute the demonstration project of CO 2 geological storage from 2013 to 2015 in the Pohang basin. The of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP, former MEST: Ministry of Education, Science & Technology) has funded the basic core technology on CCS programmes, such as capturing absorbant technology and CO 2 preliminary R&D (KCRC, Korea Carbon Capture & Sequestration R&D Center). They are looking for pilot storage sites with capacity smaller than 10,000 CO 2 ton/year injection rate for the testing the feasibility of commercial storage 2. The Kyeongsang basin, the largest sedimentary basin located in the southeastern part of Korea, is the main reservoir target in the project. The potential in the area however is low because of low porosity (below 5%) and low permeability. The basin had been recrystallized over geological time and the pores in sandstones filled with recrystallized quartz. Accordingly they recently changed the site from the Kyeongsan basin to the Janggi basin near Pohang city (Fig. 7.2), and they already completed 3 exploration wells in the area. They have a plan to build the demonstration site during Exploration & Production Technology Institute (EPTI) of Korea National Oil Corporation (KNOC) also takes a major role in CO 2 geological storage technology development, based on technical skills in oil & gas exploration and development. EPTI is recently conducting exploration and capacity assessment at offshore basins and development of a CO 2 migration estimation model. 1 Development of CO2 behavior monitoring technologies in deep geological media.

A low rate injection test was performed at the Eumsung site (Fig. 3). KIGAM s new basic project 4 was started from the beginning of 2014 to 2017 like as CO 2 Field Lab of SINTEF in Svelvik Ridge site, Norway. The target area for the project is the Pohang basin, where KIGAM owns the office site and some geothermal sites. Preliminary geochemical and geophysical investigations are undergoing in the area, and exploration wells are drilling in this fall. To test the cap-rock capacity in the Pohang basin is the main goal of the project. It has a plan to CO 2 inject into the shallow depth (~300 meters) strata in the Pohang basin.

170 Mineral Exploration for Energy Mineral For energy minerals, coal resource evaluation in Sarawak and Sabah has identified several potential coal occurrences and reserves. Coal evaluation carried out in Sarawak and Sabah covered a total area of 20 km 2 and 5 km 2 respectively. Coal exploration in Sarawak involved re-assessment of coal resource in the Nyalau Formation in Tunoh area, Kapit. Seven coal outcrops were discovered and the thickness of coal seam in this area ranges from 0.2 m to 0.5 m. Analysis results showed that the coal is of high volatile bituminous type. In Sabah, coal exploration was conducted in Susui Block, Pinangah area. Interpretation of 2D resistivity and pseudo cross-section profiling analysis indicated the existence of coal seams in the area. Drilling work was conducted using Coal-Handrill on eight selected boreholes and the result has confirmed the seams extension with an additional reserve of 1.2 million tonnes. The coal seams are of high volatile bituminous coal grade Mineral Research and Development In line with the government s aspiration to develop the mineral based industry, JMG carried out R&D projects related to clay based, silica-based, rock-based and advanced material technology. Meanwhile, to encourage the development of mineral resources in a sustainable manner, R&D on mineral processing, mining, quarrying and rehabilitation technology were carried out. Some of the R&D projects carried out are: (a) Clay product R&D Research on production technology of ceramic ball using local clay and other ceramic raw materials resources is being carried out. For pre-commercialization testing of the ceramic ball bodies developed by JMG, one tonne of the formulation was tested in a local factory. The body was tested by the industry partner and exceeded the requirement of the general commercial specifications for catalyst bed support media and has the potential to be commercialised. (b) R&D on preparation of sintered glass-ceramic tiles from recycled sheet glass This research focuses on the conversion of glass waste into glass-ceramic via the glass-powder sintering process. The sintered glass-ceramic tiles produced show properties comparable to commercial glass ceramic tile, natural granite tiles and porcelain tiles and exceed the standard specification of ISO for ceramic tiles. (c) R&D on production of lightweight concrete using recycled glass and glass for the construction industry The disposal of waste glass nowadays is a problem for many countries due to the increase in manufacturing activities. In order to reduce waste and add value to it, the utilisation of waste glass in hardened concrete was studied. Waste glass powder is used as cement replacement in lightweight concrete. The finding of this research is concrete with 5% replacement of cement with waste glass and soaking time of 28 days is the best combination to produce high compressive strength light weight concrete. From the results, it is expected that waste glass powder can be a cement replacement in concrete and this contributes to sustainability in the construction industries. (d) R&D on Acid Mine Drainage issues in mines To enhance the sustainability of mining, R&D projects on acid mine drainage in mines were carried out to control the environmental impacts of mining sulphide mineral ores. Laboratory experiments have been carried out for the determination of suitable neutralisation Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 167 CCOP Technical Secretariat

176 4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME GEO-ENVIRONMENT SECTOR 4.1. Summary Most of Malaysian development areas are on or within 100 miles of a coastline and this will likely increase dramatically in the next decade. Therefore, continual efforts are made by the government to study the coastal zone resources and coastal ecological habitats as an integral part of sustainable coastal development Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities Coastal Programmes undertaken by Department of Irrigation and Drainage The Integrated Shoreline Management Plan (ISMP) programme carried out by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage is tailored in line with the principles of Integrated Coastal Zone Management to address the major issues and problems facing our shorelines. It is an integrated approach that takes into account all the sectoral activities that affect the coastal areas and gives due consideration to economic, social, environmental and ecological issues. The goal is to develop a management tool to harmonise all the activities in the coastal area to support a broader set of management objectives for the coastal area. Realising the increasing incidence of coastal erosion which threatens coastal population and leads to loss of properties along the coastlines, the Government has carried out the National Coastal Erosion Study from November 1984 to January 1986 and the study results indicate that out of the country's coastline of 4,809 km, about 29% or 1,380 km was facing erosion. In order to cope with this problem, the Government has set up the Coastal Engineering Centre in the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) in 1987 to implement coastal erosion control program throughout the country. To date, 19 Coastal Erosion Control Projects of Department of Irrigation and Drainage have been completed in these areas as shown in table below: State Area Perlis 1. Sg.

178 5. GEO-HAZARDS PROGRAMME 5.1. Summary The rapid pace of development has resulted in the corresponding decrease of ideal areas for development and at times the development has encroached into environmentally sensitive areas including hillside areas. Accordingly, Malaysia, through JMG, has taken proactive measures to try to prevent or minimise geo-hazard occurrences by implementing geological terrain mapping, engineering geological mapping and undertaking studies on peat and soft soils. Information from these mapping projects and studies were refered to extensively for landuse planning by the local authorities and government agencies. Geohazard investigations were carried out whenever there were occurrences of geo-hazardous events such as landslides and sinkholes in order to determine the possible causes and thence endeavor to propose viable effective mitigation and prevention measures to the relevant agencies. On the whole, geological terrain mapping was carried out in almost all the states with overall coverage of 232 km 2 whereas engineering geological mapping and studies on peat and soft soils were only carried out in a few states Proposed Future Activities Malaysia will continue with: (i) Geological Terrain Mapping Through geological terrain mapping, thematic maps such as Slope Map, Terrain Map, Erosion Map, Physical Constraints Map, Engineering Geology Map and Construction Suitability Map will be generated. These maps have proven to be useful for development planning purposes. (ii) Investigation of peat areas Investigations of peat lands will be conducted in various states. The physical and engineering characteristics of these peat lands will be studied. (iii) Stability of slopes and limestone hills Investigations will be conducted on slopes and limestone hills in several states to map dangerous slopes or cliff faces and to demarcate the safe and danger zones especially at the base of the limestone hills Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities Expertise in peat study particularly in overcoming the engineering problems associated with the development on peat land Assistance Offered to CCOP in Support of Future Activities Malaysia has acquired expertise on geological terrain mapping and is in a position to advise or transfer the knowledge to whichever neighbouring countries are interested in developing the mapping technique.

180 GEO-INFORMATION SECTOR 7. GEO-DATA AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME 7.1. Summary During the review period, quite substantial progress has been achieved in the geoinformation sector. Geospatial technology has been widely used in both routine and long-term initiatives such as: geological map reconciliation, geospatial data sharing and also data entry and updating in our integrated database applications. Two more web-based applications namely Online Statistics for Mines and Quarries and Digital Library System (DLS) were developed. Three more titles in the series of guidelines were published in order to ensure proper and continuation in the implementation of mineral and geoscience activities in the department. The Malaysia-Thailand Border Joint Geological Survey and Malaysia-Indonesia Scientific and Technical Cooperation in the Field of Geology and Mineral Resources are ongoing Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities Geological Maps Along with the advancement of the geospatial information and datasets, GIS is used to integrate previous geological and recent topographical datasets in the re-production of higher quality geological maps. GIS provides better data capturing, storing, visualisation, archiving, updating, analysis, sharing and re-production from the manipulation of the geodatabase system. During the review period, a total of seven geological and mineral resources maps were successfully published as follows: Map Scale Geological Map of Sarawak 1:750,000 Geological Map of Maran Area 1:63,360 Geological Map of Gajah Terom Area 1:63,360 Geological Map of Belum Hala 1:100,000 Transect Mineral Resources Map of Perak 1: 250,000 Mineral Resources Map of Pahang 1: 250,000 Mineral Resources Map of Johor 1: 250, Dissemination of Geospatial Data In Malaysia, vast amount of data have been securely kept under the custodianship of a number of different agencies. A data sharing policy was introduced by the Malaysian Government to enable information sharing across organisational boundaries. Data sharing technology promotes data harmonisation, data standardisation, data safety, custodianship policies and guidelines which would thereby enhance the decision-making processes, environmental impact assessments, project s cost management and disaster mitigation plans. JMG plays its role as the Custodian for mineral and geoscience geospatial datasets (including the metadata) for the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) hosted by Malaysian Centre for Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MaCGDI). Data standardisation became crucial when the data sharing policy was introduced. Therefore, the Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM); a governmentowned company, continued its efforts in compiling the Malaysian Standard (MS1759) Standard Features and Attributes Code (including geological features). This standard is Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 177 CCOP Technical Secretariat

181 targeted to both the data producers and the geospatial data users. The final draft of the standard was tabled for government agencies and public comments at the end of 2013 and now the draft is being completed with some additional clauses and amendments Development of Database and Data Centre Since the year 2000, JMG has embarked on developing an integrated geospatial and textural database information system called the Minerals and Geoscience Information System (MINGEOSIS) for the purpose of storing and disseminating mineral and geoscience data and information. During the review period, two new databases namely Online Statistics for Mines and Quarries and Digital Library System (DLS) have been developed in addition to the existing 8 databases for Hydrogeology, Industrial Minerals, Geochemical Exploration, Metallic Minerals, Engineering Geology, Coal Exploration, and Mines and Quarries. ST@LK, a web-based application has been developed by JMG specifically for mine and quarry operators in Malaysia. With this application, the operators may submit monthly statistical reports on mines and quarries production to the department. Reports submitted will be kept in a relevant database that can be searched and reprinted as needed. A web-based application, DLS has been developed for JMG s staff to search, view and download reference materials in the department s library using their computers from any location worldwide. There is a plan to expand this application for public use in early During the review period, maintenance works for the MINGEOSIS were concentrated on testing the upgraded database systems in order to improve the performance of the databases and also on training the users for the new applications. Maintenance works is also being conducted for four internally used web-based GIS applications Publication of Guidelines for Mineral and Geoscience Activities JMG is in the process of documenting and publishing a series of guidelines and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) related to mineral and geoscience activities undertaken by JMG. These guidelines would provide comprehensive references to ensure professionalism and quality of all work carried out by JMG. To date a total of 16 guidelines and 1 SOP have been published. A total of three guidelines were published during the review period as shown in the table below: Guideline Serial Number JMG.GP.14 JMG.GP.15 JMG.GP.16 Guideline Coal Exploration Demarcation of Safety Zones in the Vicinity of a Limestone Hill Guidelines for Groundwater Level Measurement and Sampling A guideline on GIS Data Preparation and Implementation has been completed.

MINERAL PROGRAMME 1.1. Summary 2013 was quite an eventful year for the Geological Survey of Papua New Guinea. The Geological Survey Division came under the leadership of a new Executive Manager. The Manager-Geological Mapping and Mineral Exploration was confirmed, to continue providing leadership in the geological mapping and mineral exploration programmes. Conversion of hard-copy reports continued with the continued scanning of materials from the technical library and the cataloguing of existing rock and core holdings was completed. The database geologist (contracted) ceased employment with the Geological Survey after having established a strong foundation for the national database specialist to work from, in the creating the Geological Database which will hold together a set of databases containing information of the country s geological resources. Training programmes and staff research on associated digital data through CCOP have assisted in building the knowledge of the Geological Survey geologists. The delivery of outcomes from the GEOMAP project has generated three major projects for the Geological Survey, and these include the Wau Geological Mapping and Mineral Exploration Project, the Western PNG Airborne Geophysical Survey and the Kainantu and national geochemical sampling program. The change from MapInfo to ArcGis and training of staff in the interpretation of airborne geophysics and remote sensing data continues to allow a transition to modern methods of geological mapping and data delivery over the web. The World Bank TAII funded geothermal resource desk top study concluded in 2013 with the study identifying five potential areas that may be developed further for geothermal energy. The task will now be for Geological Survey to initiate research programs that will provide an insight into the magnitude of the resource and identifying possible drilling target areas. The digital capture of archival library data continued during the period and library staff have improved on quality control after being exposed to training provided by Terasearch under the World Bank TAII project Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities With the conclusion of the SYSMIN-funded projects (GEOMAP and Central Highlands and Papuan Peninsula Airborne Survey) in March 2012, the Geological Survey crossed to working on projects under the World Bank TAII program. For the Geological Survey Division, these projects include: (1) the Assessment of geotechnical laboratory development,(2) A Desk-top Geothermal Resource survey, (3) Capture of surface and drill- Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 181 CCOP Technical Secretariat

185 hole geochemistry and PNG geology from exploration reporting (4) Map rectification and stratigraphic lexicon development. Of the four projects listed above the Assessment of a geotechnical laboratory development, awarded to DMT, and desk-top geothermal resource review, awarded to GNS Science New Zealand, have been completed. The capture of surface and drill-hole geochemistry and PNG geology, awarded to Terra Search Limited of Australia commenced in February 2014 and has generated significant progress in the last 5 months. The Map rectification and stratigraphic lexicon development, was awarded to an individual consultant, Peter Pieters, and commenced in early May While the Geological Survey is delivering the World Bank supported programs, it also has two major projects to deliver from its own funding. The two are:(1) The Wau Geological Mapping and Mineral Exploration program and (2) Western PNG airborne geophysical survey. The first phase of the Wau geological mapping and mineral exploration program was completed in August 2013 and the second phase, which will be supported by helicopter, will be completed June The airborne survey project was awarded to GPX Surveys Limited, and commenced data acquisition in May The Geological Survey also successfully completed the Kainantu geochemical sampling program, covering the northern portion of the Kainantu 1: topographic map sheet. The project, a collaboration between the Mineral Resources Authority and China Geological Survey, collected approximately 510 samples. A further 108 samples could not be collected due to difficulty in accessing the planned sites. The second phase of the program is planned to be executed in the later part of 2014 where samples will be collected throughout the country at a much lower density. The project, coordinated through CCOP,, is aimed at improving the metallogenic maps of the country. Three of the five staff who were engaged in MSc level studies during the period with overseas universities have completed their programs. One staff member will complete her program at Leicester University in the United Kingdom (UK) in June 2014 while another had to postpone her studies due to the unavailability of the supervisor.the Leicester programme is a research project based on Bougainville,while the postponed project, also a research project, is based on the Wafi-Golpu Cu-Au project (Morobe Province) mineral prospects. The other geologist, who based her research project on the Wafi-Golpu project area, and on a collaborative programme between the University of Papua New Guinea and Clausthal University (Germany), completed her MSc program at the end of 2013 and graduated in March Of the two Geological Survey cartographers that have taken studies to MSc level externally in Australia and by correspondence in the United Kingdom, one has successfully completed her program. At the completion of the program, funded under AusAid scholarship, the staff member spent 3 months work attachment at the Western Australia Geological Survey. She resumed duties with the Mineral Resources Authority in December The other Cartographer successfully completed her MSc studies with Kingston University and graduated in January One staff member also successfully completed a 6-month geothermal training programme in Iceland s United Nations University, under the Iceland Government Scholarship, bringing to two the number of Geological Survey staff who have benefitted from this scholarship. A third staff member is currently attending the programme, scheduled for completion by October The Geological Survey cartographers completed final edits of the Salamaua 1: map sheet. The final edits were reviewed by the author before it was approved for publication in Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 182 CCOP Technical Secretariat

186 A metallogenic map of the D'Entrecasteux islands was released in the early part of 2012 and the accompanying map was released in Also released during the reporting period was a new annual publication on PNG Mines and prospects called 'PNG Minerals'. PNG Minerals 2011was released in early 2012, PNG Minerals 2012 was released in 2013 and PNG Minerals 2013 is currently being compiled. Geotechnical studies related to mining and infrastructure activities included: Drilling supervision and geological mapping for the Tagali Hydro power project construction. Relocation of the Bultem and bridges in the Western Province Inspection of the the Hidden Valley mine tailings dam Geotechnical engineering geological and hydrogeological study of three urban developments in Madang Province A catalogue of all air photography and note book data from 1: geological mapping in PNG by Geoscience Australia was scanned and delivered to the Mineral Resources Authority. IPSAR data collected by DIGO in 2006, and delivered to MRA in September 2011, have now been archived for easy access by clients. This data in conjunction with the air photo catalogue will assist in updating the geological map base of the country. Staff training in software included ERDAS Imagine, World bank funded training in ArcGis, the techniques of Mineral Resource Assessment and identification of Geohazards, hydrogeology. Conference attendance and training sponsored by CCOP included Intensive Training Course on Geological application of GIS/Remote Sensing, and (2) Intensive Training Course on Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral Resources at KIGAM, South Korea. GSD did not send an officer to attend the groundwater training at the same institute due to the unavailability of a hydro-geologist. GSD also attended a CCOP-sponsored workshop on Integrated Geophysical and Geochemical Database in Nanning, China. Papua New Guinea is also participating in the CCOP-coordinated Stone Heritage Project. By May 2014, Papua New Guinea will have completed its manuscript for the Stone Heritage Committee, after having compiled collections from five provinces throughout the country.

KEN Papua New Guinea ranked just outside the top 10 destinations for mineral exploration and development (E&MJ &Raw Materials Group Annual Survey, 2012). The Mineral Resources Authority (MRA) continues its mandated function by regulating the mining industry in PNG and make readily available information on geology, exploration, tenements and mining to investors. There is significant interest by foreign companies for Exploration Licenses (EL). The Mining Advisory Council (MAC) meets regularly to deliberate on several applications and renewals. As at April 2014, the Exploration Licenses stood at: EL Current: 172 with 1 offshore EL Application: 107 On shore EL Application: 31 Off shore Renewal licenses data wasn t available at the time of this report. Projects gaining international interest and moving towards production between 2014 and 2020 in PNG are Frieda River, Wafi-Golpu, Yandera, Woodlark and Solwara 1, the deep sea mining project. Solwara 1, which was granted a Mining Development License in the last quarter of 2011, is currently on hold due to unfavourable discussions between the company and the State on matters of equity participation by the Independent State of Papua New Guinea. Meanwhile the mining equipment and tools are being built in United Kingdom. The downturn in the mining industry slowed the progress of the advanced projects developing into mines, however the Government is confident that they will become mines by Operating mines in the country continue to sustain the National Government s budget, with more than 60% of the export receipts, although there s been a downturn in exploration and production due to the low commodity prices. Mining will continue to contribute significant revenue for the development of the country for the next 4-5 years, despite the export of LNG in June This period will also be the time the above mentioned mining projects will start production or are in the final stages of their constructions.

Proposed Future Activities The airborne geophysical survey (magnetic and radiometric) between the Frieda River and Ok Tedi mineral prospects is now underway. CCOP may be requested to facilitate discussions on joint-border geo-scientific projects between Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. Papua New Guinea also plans to carry out similar surveys in other parts of the country where there is lack of airborne geophysical data coverage. The Geochemical sampling, currently underway in collaboration with China Geological Survey, may need to be extended to other areas, not sufficiently covered by stream sediment sampling. PNG will also continue to find ways to compile data from industry and government on coal. This should improve the Government s information base on mineral energy options as an addition to geothermal energy. The Geological Survey also plans to revive activities in the industrial minerals sector, to contribute meaningfully to the growth of the construction and infrastructure developments in the country Assistance Required from CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities Require assistance in enhancing and interpretation of geophysical images in association with other available geological and geochemical datasets (see 1.1). CCOP may also be asked to support geochemical projects being planned for the country, and also training in industrial mineral assessments. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 185 CCOP Technical Secretariat

189 1.5. Assistance Offered to CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities It may be possible that our experiences in processing and interpreting of geophysical datasets, especially airborne magnetic and radiometric, and their usefulness in field geological mapping, can be highlighted or presented in a workshop to other CCOP members particularly related to interpreting such data along an active plate margin Others Comments The availability of digital data with appropriate processing and interpretation software has now enabled our geo-scientists to create models that will assist in the understanding of our mineral deposits and also make valuable decisions on target mineral exploration programs. There is still a strong need to improve basic water availability and energy to the rural communities, thus it is vital Geological Survey is up-skilled in these areas.

Summary Oil and Gas exploration and development has always been one of the PNG Government s priorities since Independence. According to the country s constitution and derived laws, the oil and gas accumulations found in-situ shall always be deemed the property of the Independent State of Papua New Guinea. That is the Government owns the petroleum resources and not the landowners (customary landowners). The Oil and Gas Act 1998 and the Oil and Gas Regulations 2002 govern PNG s Petroleum Industry. The petroleum licenses of PNG are: 1. Petroleum Prospecting License (PPL) 2. Petroleum Development License (PDL) 3. Petroleum Retention License (PRL) 4. Petroleum Processing Facility License (PPFL) 5. Pipe-line License (PLL) At September end 2014, one hundred (100) PPLs, nine (9) PDLs, fourteen (14) PRLs, three (3) PPFLs and ten (10) PLLs existed in PNG. Some fifty (50) plus new applications for petroleum prospecting licenses are pending reviews before the Petroleum Advisory Board (PAB) can recommend to the Minister for Petroleum and Energy to grant the licences. Attached here is PNG s Petroleum License Map as at April Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 186 CCOP Technical Secretariat

191 The first commercial oil discovery was made in Kutubu, in the fold-belt area of the Papuan Basin. From there, commercial oil production took place in 1992 with initial oil-inplace 323 mmbls (million barrels of oil). To date, over 80% of that volume (oil) has been recovered with oil reserves depleting. The other smaller fields in the acreage also had a total initial-oil-in-place of 179 mmbls but now with around one-third remaining. Thus generally, as far as reserves are concerned, the oil sector is in decline and in need of revival. PNG has at least 7 times more gas than oil with 15 trillion cubic feet (2P) gas reserves and 40 tcf (3P) gas reserves in the Papuan Basin. Before the first historic PNG LNG shipment to Japan in May 2014, gas production was only around 14 mmscfd for electricity generation for a gold mine. The first substantial gas field was discovered in Hides in the Papuan Fold Belt of PNG in However commercial gas production did not commence until Since 1991, Hides gas has been produced to generate electricity for the nearby Porgera Gold mine. However, the gas production was very small; 14 mmscfd. Most of the gas has been undeveloped until recently. Figure 1: Petroleum Basins of PNG From attempts were made to export the gas via the PNG-Australia Gas Pipeline project. However this failed and was formally abandoned in Following that, ExxonMobil came on the scene, proposed an LNG project and this was endorsed late in 2007, the Gas Agreement signed in The construction phase is almost complete with the first export due for 1st quarter of Only ~ 8 tcf (2P) gas reserves has been committed for the Exxonmobil PNG LNG Project. There are also significant gas discoveries in the Papuan Basin foreland s Elk/Antelope gas fields which would see a 2nd LNG project once all surrounding Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 188 CCOP Technical Secretariat

192 issues are resolved. Gas reserves are confirmed by Gaffney Cline & Associates to be 6.5 tcf (2P), however due to the fractured carbonate, conceptual projects and potentials in other basins will be covered in the later sections of this report. Major petroleum legislations and policies, currently used, are provided in Table Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities Existing Projects Below is the list of existing petroleum projects in Papua New Guinea and their brief update Kutubu and Surrounding Fields (Gobe, Moran, Mananda) Oil Project. Commercial oil production began in June 1992 with an average production of around 100,000 barrels per day and peaked in 1993 with around 140,000 barrels per day (STBOPD). Production has steadily declined to current levels of around 30,000 to 35,000 stock tank barrels of oil per day (stbod). Crude Oil is currently produced and exported by Oil Search (PNG) Ltd from the Kutubu, Agogo, Moran, North West Moran, Gobe Main, South East Gobe and South East Mananda fields. The Kutubu field came into production in late 1991 followed by the Moran and Gobe fields in North West Moran came into production in 2005 followed by South East Mananda at the end of March Total oil reserves in PNG were around 480 million barrels. And to date, around 80% of that has been recovered. The remaining recoverable reserves are expected to be Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 189 CCOP Technical Secretariat

193 recovered by Currently the major operator, Oil Search Limited is still doing appraisal and exploration drilling for unswept pockets of oil as no other substantial finds of oil has been made as yet. However there are associated gas and condensates that will be of commercial (existing infrastructure) quantities in the oil reservoirs. Hides Gas Field Gas to Electricity Project Hides is a major gas field that will supply the PNG LNG Gas. Apart from the PNG LNG Gas Project, the last 10 years. This gas is used by its gas turbine generators to produce electricity. When PNG LNG Gas comes on this will not disrupt the gas supply to PJV. The Hides field will supply both the PNG LNG gas Project and PJV. Map Showing PNG s current prominent Oil and Gas Fields NapaNapaInterOil Downstream Refinery InterOil s NapaNapa oil refinery is located 4km from Port Moresby on the eastern side of Port Moresby harbour, and is currently the only petroleum refining facility operating in PNG, apart from Oil Search (PNG) Limited s mini refinery at Kutubu and some micro stills at the Hides Gas Processing Facility. It is the first downstream petroleum project to have been granted a Petroleum Processing Facility License (PPFL) by the PNG Government in February The simple hydro skimming unit at the refinery distills crude and reforms naphtha using a semi-regeneration reformer and was designed for a throughput of 32,500 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) of light sweet crude similar to the Kutubu crude. It has achieved a sustainable federate of 35,700 BOPD and peaked at 36,000 BOPD in the third quarter of Currently it has an average throughput of 20,000 BOPD. The hydro skimming unit is designed to operate continuously producing the following refined products: Fuel Gas Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Propane and Butane) Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 190 CCOP Technical Secretariat

194 Light Naphtha Mixed Naphtha 91 RON Unleaded Gasoline Jet Fuel/Kerosene Diesel Low SulfurWax Residue (LSWR). Heavy naphtha is converted into reformat in the reforming unit which then is blended with butane and light naphtha to produce gasoline etc. Exxon Mobil PNG LNG PROJECT In 2007, ExxonMobil proposed the LNG project with its partners. The government and operator formally endorsed the project in late 2007 and the Gas Agreement was signed The project reached the FID in the 1st quarter 2010 and construction commenced in June Only ~ 8 tcf (2P) gas reserves from only Hides Gas Field and other gas reserves in the Papuan Fold belt have been committed for the Exxonmobil PNG LNG Project. Schematic Diagram showing the PNG LNG PROJECT Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 191 CCOP Technical Secretariat

195 Plan for the project is to extract natural gas from the current brown fields plus few green fields, send the gas by pipeline down to the coast for processing and export as LNG at 6 million tonnes per annum. The Project is currently slowly down construction in the chain. HGCP, Pipeline, LNG processing plant under full construction. Major plus majority construction work is outsourced. Major workforces are expatriates. The Project was on schedule for first LNG export, 1st quarter Three (3) shipments have left the shores of PNG to markets in Asia, namely Japan. Stanley Gas/Condensate Project, Horizon Oil Ltd 1989/1990; Horizon Oil Ltd makes gas/condensate discovery in the Stanley 1 well 2012 Horizon oil Ltd currently negotiating Gas Agreement with the State to develop a gas/condensate project based on the Stanley natural gas discoveries. Plan for the project is to extract natural gas from the current Stanley gas fields, process the gas and generate electricity for a nearby gold/copper mine. Condensate will be extracted, transported via a pipeline downstream and transported via barges to the Napanapa oil refinery at Port Moresby. Gas reserves confirmed, 355 bcf(2p), but only 68 bcf required for this project. Condensates, 11mmbbls. 2012; Horizon oil Ltd Agreement with the State to develop a gas/condensate project based on the Stanley natural gas discoveries. 2012; A PDL application was lodged soon after the Gas Agreement negotiating Programs, and in May 2014, The Minister Petroleum and Energy granted the PDL 10 to Horizon Oil Ltd and its JVPs. Major workforce will be outsourced but Horizon Oil Ltd is confident there are many skilled personnel in the project area due to OK Tedi Gold/Copper mine. Major construction work will be outsourced. Project expected to commence production, 1st quarter Proposed Future Activities The Papua New Guinea government and people have had cooperation with the Governments and people of all CCOP Member countries for many years and are still continuing today and onwards with training programmes and government to government business. It is unfortunate that the author of this report is not well informed to list all the formal engagements or cooperation our countries have shared. However the petroleum and energy industry, including the mineral sector, has seen an increase in technical assistance by way of training from Korean Institutions such as KIGAM and Japan s JOGMEC for which the PNG government through her respective agencies is grateful. PNG entered the elite LNG exporter club in 2014 and thus has recently had increased higher level dialogue with some CCOP member countries. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 192 CCOP Technical Secretariat

196 LNGL/INTEROIL LNG Project In 2006 Interoil makes gas discovery in the Elk fields. Following in 2008, Interoil makes natural gas discoveries in the Antelope fields. In 2009 LNGL/Interoil sign Project Agreement with the State to develop a nonintegrated LNG project based on the Elk/Antelope natural gas discoveries. Plan for the project is to extract natural gas from the current Elk/Antelope fields, send the gas by pipeline down to the coast for processing and export as LNG. The Condensates will be extracted and processed upstream and transported via barges to the Napanapa refinery at Port Moresby. The Gas reserves as confirmed by the Gaffney Cline & Associates stands at, 6.5 tcf (2P). As required by the State and in accordance with the Project Agreement, project is currently looking for a reputable Operator to operate the project. Three world renowned Banks are currently searching for the Operator on behalf of the project. Due to many delays, the State has issued an ultimatum for the project to finalise the Operator issue by November The Project is obligated to make FID soon and First gas, scheduled for 1 st quarter Gas Aggregate Project Talisman Energy Niugini Ltd There is also a conceptual gas aggregation project being pursued by the Canadian oil company, Talisman Oil Ltd in the Western Papuan Basin foreland area stretching out to the Gulf of Papua. The Company has obtained most of the licenses in the area mostly through buying equity in the existing licenses and is aggressively exploring the area with the aim of making small to medium discoveries and aggregating them to underpin a LNG project. PNG State Government Companies: PETROMIN and NPCP Also in line with the Government s vision to effectively participate in this exciting industry, several entities have been formed with one such as Petromin Holdings Ltd which serves as the National Minerals and Petroleum Company of PNG and as State participants in any minerals and petroleum projects on behalf of the PNG Government. As for the PNG LNG Project, National Petroleum Company PNG (NPCP) was set up to cater specifically for the PNG Government s interest in the Exxonmobil led PNG LNG Project. The government is also working towards restructuring the Department of Petroleum and Energy and onvert it to a Petroleum Resources Authority that would enhance its role in regulating, monitoring and promoting the Oil and Gas Industry in the PNG. Mananda Petroleum Project Oil Search Limited (OSL) is operating the PPL 219 and has submitted an application for development license (PDL). The field encompassed three 9x9 graticular blocks (one block Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 193 CCOP Technical Secretariat

197 is approx. 81 sq. km) and volumetric for Mananda is about 50mmstb in place. Development plans are being reviewed by the Department Petroleum and Energy and granting of the PDL is forth coming. P nyang Gas Field This gas field is operated by ExxonMobil and plans are under way for an application for Petroleum Development License (PDL) over this field. The third train proposal for the PNG LNG is to develop a tie-in to the existing PNG LNG Project. Reserves were estimated to be 3.5 TCF and 35 million barrels of condensate. A gas column of meter was established after two wells and three sidetracks were drilled on the P nyang prospect, located on the southwest flank of the Muller Anticline in the Western Province of PNG. At the moment the licensee is undertaking field development planning studies and review of commercialisation options before submitting a PDL application. Pasca Gas Field Twinza Oil Limited (TOL) operates the licence PPL 328 in southern offshore PNG.TOL is proposing to develop this gas field from a floating processing facility to produce LPG for domestic market within PNG. The licensee has undertaken data acquisition and integration and re-processing of existing 2D seismic over license area. Following these work, a high-resolution site survey was conducted over the Pasca A3 well location and also surrounding reef areas. A remotely operator vehicle was used to inspect and sampled marine gas plus conducting a multi-beam mid water data acquisition for gas seep detection. The data clearly shows that the Pasca A3 location is static and that there are suitable locations for surface production facilities and drilling locations. TOL is preparing field development plans and a petroleum agreement between the State and TOL is imminent Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities PNG would appreciate any assistance, advice or information from CCOP Technical Secretariat or from other CCOP Member or Cooperating countries in downstream gas processing and related activities with respect to LNG Business and other Gas Commercialisations including Energy Resources Assessment. The petroleum industry would welcome any form of assistance in promoting, regulating (administrating/enforcement of PNGs Oil and Gas Act and Regulations) and monitoring the exploration and development of the country s hydrocarbon and energy resources Assistance Offered to CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities PNG can share its experiences in the development of the petroleum industry over the years with other CCOP Member countries with respect to monitoring, regulating, promoting and enforcing our laws as an Independent State. The petroleum licensing system in PNG is a Concessionary Fiscal System unlike in Indonesia and Malaysia where they have a Production Sharing System. We would appreciate any information on the production sharing system to see if it can be utilized in PNG Other Comments We would appreciate if dissemination of information is conveyed in a timely manner in future for ease of preparation and planning purposes on CCOP Programmes. In PNG, we have separate entities for the Mineral and Petroleum industries and information should be channelled, not only to CCOP representatives in PNG but to key personnel within these organisations also.

Summary The Geological Survey continues to play a contributing role in the advancement of the energy sector, especially, clean energy. Two main areas have been investigated for their geothermal potential and these are West New Britain and Milne Bay Provinces. Exploration licences, granted under the current Mining laws, have now been put on hold together with applications for new ELs, pending the delivery of the new legislations being developed under the assistance of the New Zealand Government. The Geological Survey also continues to provide geotechnical engineering support in the development of hydro-power projects throughout the country Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities Papua New Guinea continues to work on a geothermal policy to guide and regulate the exploration and development of the geothermal resource sector. At least three exploration license applications were received, and granted under the Mining Laws, but have since been put on hold as per advice from the Department of Attorney General. Despite that, the Mineral Resources Authority continued to pursue research projects to understand the systems better. Under funding from the World Bank TA II, two well-known geothermal provinces were visited and sampled for water, gas and rocks, for analysis at the Geological and Nuclear Sciences facilities in New Zealand. The areas sampled for water, gas and rocks include the Talasea and Hoskins areas of West New Britain and the Deidei and Iamalele geothermal areas of Milne Bay Province. Initial geothermometric temperatures indicate deep temperatures ranging between C. The Geological Survey supervised geotechnical drilling and geological mapping at the Hela Hydro Power project. The project is being developed by Innovative Agro Industries in partnership with the Hela Provincial Government. Similar projects are being developed in other provinces including Oro and the Autonomous Region of Bougainville. Geological Survey have been requested to assist PNG Power Ltd to develop these projects. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 195 CCOP Technical Secretariat

199 3.3. Proposed Future Activities GSD will continue geothermal sampling in other areas of the country to enhance our understanding of the resources. Data collected will be added to the existing database to be used in decision making in developing these resources. GSD will also pursue down-hole sampling for temperature and other related physical properties necessary for heat flow studies Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities CCOP may assist in carrying out further sampling, data analysis and interpretation in other areas targeted for sampling. Currently Geological Survey funding is not sufficient to cover sampling and sample analysis. We also need assistance in conducting magnetotelluric surveys to define deep reservoir structure, and help define drilling targets Assistance Offered to CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities As a collaborative project, our officers can share experiences and exchange ideas in conducting geothermal water sampling and direct current resistivity methods, magnetotelluric, gravity and seismic reflection surveys around geothermal areas Other Comments Our officers need more exposure to geophysical field exploration techniques in geothermal and mineralized terrains, and training in mapping of different mineral deposit styles in mineralized areas.

Summary The Department of Mineral Policy and Geohazards Management (DMPGM) is new and emanated from the former Department of Mining and is responsible for (1) formulating policies related to mining/exploration and (2) monitoring of geohazards in PNG and the region. The latter responsibility of DMPGM falls under the ambit of Geohazards Management Division and will be discussed further here. The Geohazards Management Division s primary role is to monitor and assess geological hazards, like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, landslides and mass erosion events, in PNG and the region. The Division provides advice on the mitigation measures to relevant authorities and communities and where possible it provides early warnings of the effects of these hazards. Through applied research the Division aims to improve the capabilities to monitor, assess and where possible predict geological hazards in PNG. The Division comprises three Branches; the Rabaul Volcanological Observatory, Port Moresby Geophysical Observatory and the Engineering Geology Branch and they are responsible for the monitoring of volcanoes, earthquakes,/tsunamis and landslides/mass erosions in PNG respectively Volcanic Hazards Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities Routine monitoring of selected volcanoes is ongoing. The Australian Government through its Aid Agency (AusAID) extended the Twinning Programme at the RabaulVolanological Observatory when the first phase concluded in AusAID also funded the Strengthening Natural Hazards Risk Assessment Capacity in PNG project where East New Britain Province was selected as the pilot province. The project started in late 2010 and is ongoing. Arrangements with the Vienna based Comprehensive nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) to establish additional auxiliary seismic station AS76 and an infrasound IS40 at Kerevat PNG has already been concluded. These stations form part of the International Monitoring Stations (IMS). Funding was released by CTBTO and now we are into the mobilization and construction phase of the stations Volcanic Activities The monitored volcanoes of Papua New Guinea were generally quiet in 2011 and 2012, with the exception of the Manam and Ulawun volcanoes. Manam volcano remained generally quiet throughout Ulawun changed its quiet status of activity with the commencement and continuation of high frequency volcanotectonic earthquakes from about July 2010 onwards and Manam showed some signs of renewed activity from occasional night glows from the two summit craters during the last few months of the year. Bagana considered as the most active volcano in Papua New Guinea due to its subcontinuous effusive activity, continued to erupt effusively in 2010 and continued in The effusive emissions of lava from the summit crater rolled down the western flanks of the volcano. The volume of lava was too insignificant to cause any alarm. Tavurvur, one of the two volcanoes that erupted at Rabaul in September 1994, remained quiet in 2011 to 2012 with a low level of intermittent emissions of ash.

202 Monitoring Activities RVO persevered to maintain its monitoring equipment at Rabaul and the selected high-risk volcanoes including Ulawun, Manam, Lamington and Pago. The seismic monitoring network at Rabaul was maintained at a reasonable level. A couple of stations which had been off were restored in The tide gauge network consisting of three stations was partially restored after a long period of inactivity. An upgrade of the real-time Global Positioning System (GPS) of four stations for deformation measurements began during the last quarter of the 2010 By the end of the year three of the stations were restored but two continued to have problems. The work continued in The monitoring stations at Ulawun, Pago, Garbuna, Manam and Lamington, consisting of single seismic stations operated below satisfactory levels, mainly due to technical problems associated with power problems, lack of parts etc. At some places like Ulawun, local recordings are done on site but data transmission to RVO could not occur due to faults in some of the system components. Despite these shortfalls, daily reporting of volcanic information by the volcano observers, which also included Bagana, using HF voice radios are maintained at a satisfactory level. Two stations in West New Britain have ceased data transmission and work has been undertaken to restore operation. Special Projects/Programs Discussions and the compilation of a document commenced on a proposed new 4-year AusAID-funded Geoscience Australia-RVO Twinning Program following the cessation of the similar existing program in mid RVO participated in a series of consultative review meetings on AusAID s Framework for Australian Assistance to Disaster Management in Papua New Guinea to determine its strengths, weaknesses, impacts and lessons learned, in anticipation for drawing up a new program, the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Program. The Strengthening Natural Hazards Risk Assessment Capacity Program workshop was held in July 2011, in Kokopo East New Britain Province and coincided with the official launching of The Rabaul Volcano report by the Deputy Secretary of DMPGM. Community/Public Education Community and public education on volcano and other geological hazards like earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, etc., continued to feature strongly in RVO s 2011 activities. These activities were focused in Rabaul area with visitations to RVO by a wide range of visitor background, including educational institutions. Posters and leaflets were given to the visitors. Similar activities in communities of the other high-risk volcanoes were restricted by funding Proposed Future Activities Future activities for RVO will be guided by the mandatory responsibilities of the observatory and the overall 5-year strategic plan for the Department of Mineral Policy and Geohazards Management. Some planned specific activities include the following: Continue to restore and upgrade monitoring equipment at Rabaul and the other highrisk volcanoes. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 199 CCOP Technical Secretariat

203 Upgrade data transmission mechanisms from the remote high-risk volcanoes to RVO at Rabaul. The current system uses modem-configured HF radios. Upgrade of this system is year-marked for the next two years; however, there are plans to phase this out with VSAT systems. The outcome of this will depend on funding. Improve power supply systems for volcano monitoring at selected high-risk volcanoes including Ulawun and Lamington with the installation of solar farms. Relocation of the Volcano Observatory to a new location and fit new observatory with a state of the art volcano monitoring system Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities RVO receives its core operational funding from its mother department, the Department of Mineral Policy and Geohazards Management, however, it has also benefited immensely though aid funding from the Australian Government through its international aid agency, AusAID and UNDP/ SOPAC. With donor funding RVO was able to achieve the following: Improve the monitoring systems at Rabaul and selected high-risk volcanoes, Upgrade the GPS network Upgrade the modem-configured HF radios for transmission of volcanic data from the remote high-risk volcanoes to RVO. Increase in computer hardware However, there is still more to be done and RVO certainly would welcome any assistance with funding and technical experts of the proposed activities outlined in (5.2.2) from CCOP, Co-operating Agencies/Countries and Member Countries Assistance Offered to CCOP in Support of Future Activities No assistance was provided to CCOP during the reporting period Other Comments The main issues that affect the work of RVO are lack of sustained timely funding and Manpower in some of its key section. For example, restoration of some of the monitoring equipment at other high-risk volcanoes dragged on due to lack of qualified technical staff in the Electronics Section. Lack of adequate funding and properly skilled personal are major setbacks.

204 6.3. Earthquake/Tsunami Hazards Annual review of Individual Technical Activities The one year to date was quiet except for a magnitude 7 earthquake in the neighboring Indonesian Province of Papua, Biak Island on January 3rd Within the PNG region 16 earthquakes of magnitudes 6 and 221 of magnitude 5 occurred in the period January 2008 to 09 August A total of 1595 earthquakes of magnitude 3.4 occurred during the period. From these earthquakes no tsunamis were generated. Apart from the routine monitoring of seismic activity, work on the EU funded (EDF9) replacement of seismic network is almost complete. The project is expected to be commissioned end of this year or early Proposed Future Activities Seek counterpart funding from PNG Government to compliment the proposed Seismic Network referred to above and to rehabilitate the PMGO Office and Seismic Station set up in Port Moresby. Submission for these requests is in train at the time of reporting Assistance Required from CCOP of Future Activities Funding is and will be a major constraint, therefore additional funding is required for operational expenses in training of staff with the relevant software (and hardware) applications and tools, and as well as the maintenance of network components and facilities Assistance Offered to CCOP in Support of Future Activities Annual membership fees/contributions Other Comments PNG has been a long-time member of CCOP and would encourage continuing collaboration in projects that would be of benefit to PNG and the region. To meet the departmental vision , a state-of-the-art communication system is to be deployed both for data transmission to PMGO from seismic stations and for information dissemination. The system has to be compatible with the seismic network hardware and software to be procured and deployed nation-wide in the next two years. For this, initial costs are to be sought from potential donors. There will be counterpart funding sourced as well.

205 6.4. Landslide Hazards Annual review of Individual Technical Activities No activities were completed and no new ones were started during the reporting period. The annual review covers only the ongoing activities undertaken for the period by the Engineering Geology Branch. The Engineering Geology Branch commenced operation at the beginning of 2009 and not much has really happened. However, strategic mapping and assessment of landslide affected areas has been a priority task of the branch. Since 2009, a big portion of the main Highlands Highway linking the coast to the inland areas failed due to an unusually high rainfall. The landslide was mapped and assessed and a report was produced for relevant government agencies to take corrective measures. Since then normalcy has been restored on the highway. Early this year another major landslide occurred at Tumbi the site of major LNG project in the Southern Highlands Province. A site visit was undertaken and a report produced and circulated to relevant stakeholders. Library search on all previously reported landslides is ongoing. Presently there is no database and a landslide map covering all of PNG on any scale therefore the branch aims to create a landslide data base and produce a landside hazard map at the smaller scale (1:250,000). Terms of Reference have been developed for technical assistance through the UNDP/SOPAC to the Geohazards Management Division. It is envisaged that technical capacity within the branch would be boosted with hands on field exposure on pilot areas to be mapped on the most vulnerable sections of the Highlands Highway. Sustainability of this one off assistance to our major activity and professional help is essential to achieve the Department s vision. The World Bank has also come on board to assist with re-equipping the engineering geology laboratory. Funding for this exercise was initially promised to be made available in September 2011 but further deferred to March 2012 and at time of reporting we are still yet to realize this happening., Risk assessment of landslides will be done after the landslide hazard map is produced. It will also be limited to areas where actual investment or infrastructural development is taking place Proposed Future Activities Besides carrying out landslides investigations the branch is also embarking on the following activities: Have a user friendly database for landslides. Currently there is none. Carry out landslides mapping by using remote sensing methods. Purchase new equipment for the laboratory for rock and soil tests. Develop landslide hazard maps at 1: scale. Carry out studies on the Engineering Geology of towns in PNG Assistance Required from CCOP of Future Activities Assistance from CCOP TS will be required in the areas of; Creation of a Landslide Data Base and provision of technical expertise Provide training in Remote Sensing and to acquire satellite imagery interpretation software and hardware to aid in landslide mapping.

The building will also host three (3) separate laboratories; a thin section/polised section and sample preparation laboratory, a geochemical and geothermal analysis laboratory, and a fully integrated geotechnical laboratory. The design for the building will be completed at the end of 2014 and construction is expected to commence in early The storage facility is expected to be completed in late Proposed Future Activities Papua New Guinea Mining Museum project. The project primarily includes a museum to accommodate mining relics, equipment and processes in a world class museum environment. This project will encompass the CCOP GeoPark project, as the proposed site for the museum is the old copper mine with unique geological features such as exposed rock faces, bluffs and cliffs, gorges and plateau. This project is in the infancy stages with discussions ongoing with the landowners for land release. The Papua New Guinea National Museum and Art Gallery is supporting this project. As reported in the last report, a proposed training for resource modeling using existing geological and mineral resource data from the Geological Survey is still pending Assistance Required from CCOP / Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities Assistance to revamp the defunct GMRIS is appreciated and link with an online tenure management system under investigation by MRA. This would include staff training and reassessment of the technical phase of the system. This was reported in the last report, and is yet to be discussed at the CCOP level for assistance. Capacity building and up-skilling staff in remote sensing. Acquisition of high resolution satellite images covering the entire country or around the mining lease and impacted areas to monitor ongoing mining operations. GeoPark Project. The site for the GeoPark project has been discussed and the tentative site is the Sogeri area, approximately kilometres from Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea. The proposed PNG Mining Museum project is within the vicinity of the nominated GeoPark area. Discussions are yet to proceed on how CCOP can assist Papua New Guinea in both the GeoPark and the Mining Museum projects.

MINERAL PROGRAMME 1.1 Summary The Department of Mineral Resources continued to carry out mineral exploration projects including the regional mineral exploration and assessment project in parts of Nakhon Si Thammarat province and detailed mineral exploration and assessment in several areas in: Lampang province (stibnite), Uthai Thani and Suphanburi provinces (REE) and Rayong province (silica sand). The projects aim to support the supply of minerals in order to meet mineral demands of the country in the future. Mineral occurrences and deposits in Thailand have been zoned and classified into three groups: preserved, conserved and development areas. The top five minerals being produced in Thailand throughout the year included lignite, limestone for cement manufacturing and for construction, gypsum and gold, respectively. Most of these, except gold, have been used for electricity generation and the government s infrastructure construction Projects. 1.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities Exploration and Assessment for Mineral Resources The Exploration and Assessment for Mineral Resources Project can be divided two subprojects, regional mineral exploration and assessment and detailed mineral exploration and assessment Regional mineral exploration and assessment The regional mineral exploration and assessment project aims to /build a database and assess potential mineral resource areas. The project s working area is Ron Pi Boon area in Nakhon Si Thammarat province. Ron Pi Boon area of Nakhon si Thammarat province is located in the southern part of Thailand and covers 3,044 square kilometers. Mineral potential areas for heavy minerals, tin, limestone and ball clay are expected. There are four mineral potential areas, including 1) Khao Luang-Yong water fall area 2) Thep Nimit area 3) Lan Ska area and 4) Ron Pi Boon area (Figure 1) Detailed mineral exploration and assessment The objective of detailed mineral exploration and assessment is to further assess mineral deposits and their reserves. The working areas are: 1) Lampang provinces (Stibnite), 2) Uthai Thani and Suphanburi provinces (REE) and 3) Rayong province (Glass sand). Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 206 CCOP Technical Secretariat

210 Figure 1 The mineral potential areas of Ron Pi Boon area in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. Lampang province is located in the northern part of Thailand. The sub-area called Ban Huai Tao Poon covers 1 square kilometer in Thoen district, Lampang province (Figure 2). There it is expected to find stibnite disseminated in quartz viens with adjacent Triassic granitic rocks. Generally, the quartz veinlets in the sub-area carry stibnite in 10% intensity of bulk (figure 3). Uthai Thani and Suphanburi provinces are located in the central part of Thailand, comprising Ban Shinnawat Pattana-Nam Rob sub-areas in Lansak district, Uthai Thani province, covering 9 square kilometers (Figure 4), is expected to host an in situ REE deposit accumulating within a deep weathering granitic crust as suggested by low K content measured using a gamma-ray spectrometer. The total REE estimated volume of the weathered crust within the sub-area is approximate 101 million cubic meters with average thickness of 15 meters. Rayong province is located in the eastern part of Thailand, comprising 5 areas Tapong- Phe, Klang-KaChed and Chak Phong sub-areas in Muang Rayong district, and Chakkadon-Klum and Neun Kho sub-areas in Klang district, Rayong province, covering 115 square kilometers (Figure 5) in which it is expected to find glass sand accumulated from beach sand, and the weathering zone of granitic or sedimentary rocks. The estimated glass sand reserve in Rayong province is approximately 186 million metric tons. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 207 CCOP Technical Secretariat

Systematic management of the mineral resources is needed in terms of effectiveness and fairness. For this, participation is needed from relevant stakeholders. This project was set up in 2006 to propose the management measures in each individual province for effective planning and management of its geological resources. Initially, DMR compiles various data and information; maps at 1:50,000 scale of the geology, mineral potential and mining license areas, natural parks, forests, wildlife reserves, other restricted areas and land-use conditions, conservation geological sites and national and local economic situation are all included. The next step is to define the areas for potential development, considering the land-use conditions and relevant laws and regulations. At this stage, the areas for mineral utilization have been divided into three groups namely, (1) Preserved areas (e.g., national parks, forest parks, wildlife sanctuaries, area of no animal-hunting, ramsar site, natural site, fossil site, archaeological site, conservation forest zones and mangrove preserved zones) : mineral resources in these areas will be preserved and are the last-priority for utilization (2) Conserved areas (e.g., reformed land for agriculture, watershed areas class one, environmental protectorate area, forest zones restricted by laws, regulations and cabinet resolutions, mineral research survey areas designated by Mineral Act B.E. 1967, (Section 6 bi): mineral resources in conserved areas are planned to be used in the near future, or at present with certain conditions, (3) Development areas (e.g., economic forest zones, industrial rock zones, mining license areas and mineral development areas designated by Mineral Act B.E. 1967, (Section 6 quad): mineral resources in these areas have no law, regulation or public restrictions for development. Prioritization of the development areas of each mineral commodity is considered by economic, social and environmental factors. All the mineral zones in these three areas are also graded by their values. Measures and recommendations for effective mineral planning and management are then proposed in the preliminary report of each province. Finally, these reports will be sent to the relevant stakeholders for comments. Consultation meetings will be organized in every province prior to submission of a final report to the cabinet for approval. Executives and technical people as representatives of relevant agencies such as DMR, Department of Primary Industries and Mines, Office of Natural Resources Policy and Planning, Provincial Offices and Local Administrative Offices will be invited to join the consultation meetings. After eight years ( ), the project was carried out in 59 provinces covering: Northern region; Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang, Lamphun, Mae Hong Son, Nan, Phayao, Phrae, Uttaradit, Phetchabun, Phitsanulok and Kamphaengphet.

ENERGY PROGRAMME 2.1 Summary From the energy situation reported by Energy Policy and Planning Office, in 2013 the primary commercial energy consumption of Thailand is about 2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. The energy sources are natural gas (45%), oil (37%), lignite and imported coal (16%), and hydro power/imported electricity (2%). From energy statistics reported by Energy Policy and Planning Office, the total coal and lignite consumption was approximately 35.6 million tons in 2013, which shows a decrease of about 1.2 million tons from 2012 (or about 3.26% decrease). The amount of imported coal also decreased from 18.4 million tons in 2012 to million tons in 2013 while the domestic lignite production decreased from million tons in 2012 to million tons in The indigenous production of natural gas, condensate and crude oil in 2012 and 2013 are listed in Table 1. The production rates in 2013 for condensate and crude oil decreased from the previous year s rates by about 0.26% and 0.67%, respectively. However, the production rate in 2013 for natural gas increased from the previous year s rate by about 0.36%. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 211 CCOP Technical Secretariat

217 3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME 3.1 Summary The Royal Thai Government, through the Department of Groundwater Resources (DGR), continues to carry out the Clean Drinking Groundwater for School Project. The project aims to provide clean (ground) water for schools nationwide. DGR also carried out the Conjunctive Water Use for Agriculture in order to provide water for agricultural purposes in drought prone and remote areas. The activities are in response to the need of water to be used efficiently on various aspects. Impacts on overuse of groundwater in Bangkok and its metropolitan area have also been continually monitored. The Department of Groundwater Resources (DGR) cooperates with CCOP under the project namely CCOP-GST/AIST Groundwater Project Phase III. The project has been delayed by one year due to flooding in Bangkok in The aim of the project is to implement hydrogeological data and Geographical Information System (GIS) of Upper Chao Phraya and basins. The results have been exhibited in the CCOP website. The project will be expanded to cover a study area in the northern part of Thailand in the third phase. Recently, these efforts are planned to be conducted in the Chiang Mai basin, including MRC planning in the northeastern area as well. 3.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities Groundwater and Land Subsidence Monitoring Land subsidence in Bangkok and its vicinity has been in a serious situation for the last three decades, as a consequence of extensive groundwater development and lack of monitoring systems. Hence, DGR launched a project namely The study of systematic land subsidence monitoring on critical areas of groundwater usage project. Project Phase I was completed, comprising two exploration boreholes at the depths of 600 m. and 300 m. located in SamutSakorn and SamutPrakarn provinces respectively. The results of drilling such as sample cutting, electric logging and soil testing are being evaluated for detailed design of permanent land subsidence monitoring stations including groups of boreholes expected to be drilled and the kind of electronic devices to be applied. Also, InSAR technology has been conducted in order to make a parallel check with land subsidence measurements in the future. (Figure 1) With the long-term implementation of groundwater regulations to control groundwater abstraction in Bangkok and Metropolitan Area, the land subsidence situation is now recovered. In order to prevent problems caused by water pressure changes in relation to underground structures, DGR has monitored the impact of changing water pressure on the soil and underground structures using multi-level extensometers and piezometer in 6 stations Clean Drinking Groundwater for Schools Responding to a lack of clean drinking water for school children, particularly in rural areas, DGR has provided clean water systems by drilling wells plus purification system that will supply drinking water to WHO standards. In 2014, DGR has carried out installation of 700 units which completed a total of 1,849 units since The eventual target throughout of the country is planned at 2,478 units (Figure 2-6: Clean drinking groundwater system for schools). In addition, DGR has served and provided 922 systems for water supply in the areas of scarce water resources, as well as proving public education through training in order to maintain the supply system.

Recently, global warming has been a serious problem counteracting water demand, especially for agricultural purposes. In Thailand, the concept of conjunctive water use was planned and implemented for the future in order to handle global warming consequences, particularly flooding and droughts. Potential groundwater resources were evaluated throughout the country with 4 pilot projects of each region of Thailand, along with subsequent monitoring systems and evaluation for economic purposes and agricultural consumption.

222 3.2.4 River Bank Filter (RBF) Project RBF is a project launched by DGR in 2011 and was designed to be implemented in three phases. The first phase: Feasibility study on Large Scale Groundwater Resources Development Using RBF was completed in As a result of phase I, three highly potential areas for RBF development using horizontal collector wells which are drilled in a main caisson to pump shallow groundwater for water supply in cities or towns, as well as for industry purposes, were located. In phase II, additional detailed investigations at the three areas will be conducted in order to determine the most suitable sites which will be constructed as a pilot project in 2016 (Phase III).

It is anticipated that this project will be completed with a total of 720sheet maps in (Figure 9: Hydrogeological Map of Thailand) Figure 9 Hydrogeological Map of Thailand Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 222 CCOP Technical Secretariat

226 3.3 Proposed Future Activities Geothermal Exploration (GP) DGR is going to launch a project on geothermal exploration in order to support clean energy development, particularly in electricity production. Because of the recent limited resources for electricity generation, geothermal resources are considered as a new alternative clean energy source for the future. Thailand has many hot spring occurrences in a zone elongated from North to South in the western part of the country and some in the central part. In previous studies, more than 20 years ago, this kind of the project was unsuccessful in terms of exploration of proposed potential targets. In the next operation, by using the new combined technology of geophysical instruments and computer programs, the results are expected to be better in acquiring a good understanding of potential geothermal resources Deep Groundwater Investigation (DGI) DGI is the other new project to be launched in parallel with GP, above, using the same high efficiency geophysical instruments. The first priority target areas will be in the northeastern part of Thailand. There are many salt domes underneath the PhuTok aquifer that have fracture zones occurring along their sides which actually have high and good groundwater yields. If the salt domes and their dimensions could be better located by geophysical surveys, the good aquifers would be easily identified for further development. Generally, good aquifers with high potential in northeastern Thailand have been very difficult to locate successfully. 3.4 Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities Many member countries of CCOP are leaders in geothermal development for economic electricity production. These countries have different knowledge and experiences including experience as donor and advisory countries. Till now, CCOP has never cooperated in, nor promoted, this aspect. Due to climate change and a common interest with other countries looking for clean energy, CCOP should support and put this kind of project into the action plan.

227 GEO-ENVIRONMENT SECTOR 4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME 4.1 Summary Shoreline erosion has been one of the serious problems that cause a lot of damage to properties of both government and local people who live along the impacted areas. There are 830 km of Thailand s total shoreline (3,148 km) which are being eroded. DMR carried out activities to support the strategy for coastal erosion prevention and mitigation through the conducting projects that monitor the physical change of the coastal zone along the country s coastlines through various techniques. Recently, Remote Sensing and GIS techniques have been used to detect coastline change and the rate of erosion. Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) survey was employed to monitor detailed change on coastlines annually. In addition, marine geological survey employing geophysical methods were chosen for investigating the submarine geology and bathymetry. The Coastal Change monitoring survey was conducted in Sathingpra District, Songkhla Province and Pakphanung District, Nakhon Srithammarat Province. 4.2 Annual Review of individual Technical Activities Coastal Change monitoring in Sathingpra district, Songkhla province and Pakphanung district, Nakhon Srithammarat province: In 2014, DMR has conducted the project to monitor coastal change along the SongkhLa Lake Watershed, Lower Gulf of Thailand. The study areas are located in Sathingphra districts, Songkhla province and Laem Talumphuk, Pakphanung district, Nakhon srithammarat province. The study areas were 28.5 and 26.9 km in length, respectively. In each year, the beach profile was determined using DGPS survey in 2 seasons, during the monsoon (Nov-Jan) and after the monsoon (May-Jun), see figure 1. The result shown in this report was performed by comparing the coastline interpreted from satellite images taken in 2002 and the coastline surveyed by the DGPS in The result is shown in table 1-2 Moreover, grain size studies of beach sediments provide a wealth of information on the intrinsic properties of sediments and their morphology and depositional environment. 330 sand samples which represent each morphological type were collected along the beach as well as 110 boreholes were drilled using hand auger for examination and analysis. The bathymetry and distribution of depositional features of shallow marine sediments (within 2-3 km. toward the sea) were examined using echo sounding and shallow marine seismic reflection profiling data and grab sampling.

The Static method was used to transfer the position from base (known location) station to new benchmarks (left). Coastline survey includes 1) Detecting coastline (Horizontal Survey) by walking along the coastline indicated by the berms, vegetation line or engineering structures such as sandbag, gabion, rock revetment and seawall (middle) and 2) Beach profile (vertical survey) by walking perpendicular coastline at 50 meters intervals.

The same techniques were used in Pakphanang district, Nakhonsrithammarat province. The result showed that the areas are mostly affected by moderate erosion which is about 50% of total area. The severe erosion occurred during the NE monsoon (Nov-Jan) and damaged some roads but this erosion only happens for a short period. Usually, the coastal erosion problems in Thailand are solved by construction of hard engineering structures such as sea walls and breakwaters etc. However, in some areas, eroded coastline still occurred. Therefore, it can be stated that the coastline changes can be related to engineering construction. 4.3 Proposed Future Activities Proposed work in 2015 will be the extension phase of the project to monitor coastal change along the coast in Huasai district, Nakhon srithammarat province. 4.4 Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities Workshop or training course related to coastal monitoring and coastal management in CCOP member countries.

These events include 5 landslides, 4 earth flows, 2 rock falls, 1 bank subsidence and 2 earthquakes. The 6.3-magnitude earthquake occurred on 5 May The epicenter was located in Mae Lao District, Chiang Rai Province, North Thailand. This is one of the largest earthquakes recorded in Thailand. In response to the earthquake event, DMR has carried out an assessment survey to generate geohazard maps that help to indicate the areas that are prone to natural dangers like landslides, earthquake, coastal erosion and other geological hazards and also aims at Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 226 CCOP Technical Secretariat

230 developing geohazards monitoring systems. In addition, we also work with communities in the high risk areas under the concept of people s participation. DMR is looking forward to exchanging of knowledge on geohazards through international cooperation. 5.2 Annual Review of individual Technical Activities Landslide management The Landslide Risk Mapping at the Community level This Project has the objective to map the landslide risk area at a community level on the scale 1: 10,000. The map indicates the areas prone to the effects of landslides and flash floods. Moreover it will include the location of landslide watch network houses, safety places and rain gauges. Since 2013 DMR has provided such maps in 370 sub-districts of Thailand Establishing the Landslide Watch Network This activity has been conducted since 2001 or more than 10 years. In 2014, DMR established the networks in 8 provinces, Surat Thani, Chumporn, Phrae, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Nan, Sukhothai and Uttraditt with 2,597 local volunteers from 419 villages, 43 subdistricts and 8 districts joining the network. At this moment there are than 25,066 networks in 3,604 villages of 51 provinces mainly from northern, southern and eastern parts of Thailand The increasing efficiency of the landslide monitoring system Two years after establishing a Landslide Watch Network, DMR will take actions to increase the landslide investigation capacity of the network by carrying out a landslide drill programme and supporting the warning information. The Geohazards Operation Center of DMR will monitor the amount of rainfall in landslide risk areas and evaluate the landslide hazard possibility every day. If there are landslide signs, the center will issue a public watch bulletin and inform the networks in the risk area in order to prepare for a landslide incident. Moreover, DMR is developing a mathematical model for evaluating landslide hazard areas by applying slope stability for Northeastern, Thailand. The dynamic model will be changed according to the amount of rainfall The Landslide Instrument Installation In 2014, DMR has installed 15 inclinometers to monitor the movement of soil mass in landslide risk area in 6 provinces; Nan, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Krabi and Phatthalung, which is currently in the process of installation. The idea to install the instrument is to increase the efficiency of landslide monitoring in high landslide risk areas especially the economic and tourist areas. The instruments contain 3 important sensors, rain gauge, piezometer and inclinometers. The signal data from those sensors will be sent automatically from those installed sites to the control room of DMR in Bangkok as well as to local government offices. The data will be used to evaluate the landslide situation in those areas. In case the instruments detect landslide critical values, they will send a warning signal through SMS and website Seismic hazard assessment The seismic hazard assessment in the Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, and Lampun provinces, northern Thailand. A large earthquake of Richter magnitude 6.3 that occurred on the northeastern part of the Mae Lao segment of the Phayao Fault on 5 May The epicenter was located in Mae Lao district, Chiang Rai province, northern Thailand; this event caused major damage in Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 227 CCOP Technical Secretariat

231 Chiang Rai province. Moreover, one person died during the earthquake. In order to identify the seismic hazard zones of northern Thailand, the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) has carried out the project titled the seismic hazard assessment in the Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, and Lampun provinces, northern Thailand for the fiscal year The main objective of this project is to produce the probabilistic seismic hazard map of the Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, and Lampun provinces, northern Thailand (scale 1:50,000). This probabilistic seismic hazard map shows the peak ground acceleration (PGA) values that a site can expect during the next 50 years with 10 percent probability. The PGA values of this probabilistic seismic hazard map will be converted to the Modified Mercalli intensity (MMI) scale. Therefore, both the PGA values and MMI scale of probabilistic seismic hazard maps of the Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, and Lumpun provinces will be published Revised active fault map of Thailand The previous version of the active fault map of Thailand was published in The recent version of active fault map of Thailand has been published since The new active fault map of Thailand consists of 14 active fault zones (Figure 3) as following; from north to south, these active fault zones include the Mae Chan, Mae Ing, Mae Hong Son, Mae Tha, Phayao, Pua, Thoen, Moei (or Mae Ping), Uttaradit, Petchabun, Sri Sawat, Three Pagoda, Ranong, and Klong Marui Faults The Thai-Lao technical cooperation on the study of geohazards The period of Thai-Lao technical cooperation on the study of geohazards can be divided into two years (the fiscal years 2014 and 2015), DMR has proposed the activities of the project in this fiscal year 2014 as following; The training workshop on the active fault study will be held in DGM, Vientiane, during 29 July 12 August The contents of this workshop include the basic concepts of paleoseismological study (active fault study), remote sensing and field work techniques for active fault study, and seismic hazard assessment Lineament map of Lao PDR will be carried out Field observation will be undertaken for verifying the results of remote sensing interpretation (i.e., field checking for the morphotectonic landforms associated with the active faults). Morphotectonic landforms interpreted from remote sensing techniques were used for evaluating the locations of active faults, and then used for selecting locations for trenching investigation Preliminary report on the active fault study of Lao PDR will be presented to DGM, Lao PDR.

ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY PROGRAMME 6.1 Summary Saline soil has been widely found in various areas in the northeastern parts of Thailand. Saline soil is the result of the geological setting of the northeastern part of Thailand that has thick rock salt deposits at depth. Saline soil has caused a lot of damage and problems in agriculture. The Saline Soil Area Development Project in Northeast Thailand has been launched since 2008 in response to His Majesty the King s advice and initiation on the mitigation of saline soil in Northeast Thailand. The project involves sustainable development of geological resources through the mitigation of saline soil problems and local community involvement. During the reporting period (fiscal year 2013) the DMR has carried out the Saline Soil Area Development Project in Northeast Thailand (Phase 2: An extension) in Mahasarakham and Roi Et Provinces. This project was managed by the Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR). Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 230 CCOP Technical Secretariat

235 GEO-INFORMATION SECTOR 7. GEO-DATA AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME 7.1 Summary DMR has continuously conducted study and development of web services, either WMS or WFS. These services are compliant with the OGC standard. Currently, both WMS and WFS have published and disseminated on the website. Advanced development is being researched. Mineral information, especially publications and related regulations, is also updated to the ASEAN Mineral Database and Information System (AMDIS). The new initiative project, CCOP-ASEAN Harmonized Geology, has been approached by implementation of a unified legend mainly derived from the OneGeology project to the present 1:1,000,000 geological map of Thailand. This will be the driving force for the success of the CCOP-ASEAN Harmonized Geology project. 7.2 Annual Review of Technical Programme/Activities DMR Web services This project was internally launched in The outstanding movement after DMR had participated in the training and workshop concerning the establishment of a WebGIS portal and creation of WMS and WFS in an implementation and development of a new web services portal. The training and workshop were conducted by GSJ/AIST. Either WebGIS portal or web services are based on OGC standard. This means that DMR prefers to implement FOSS for future development. The movement believes to lead to sustainable contribution of facts and dissemination of knowledge and activity to the public. Therefore, DMR does not hesitate to continue study and research on web services in order to improve the web features to meet with more public satisfaction. Currently, the services support 3 means of accessibility that are website, smart devices and GIS software respectively. It is believed that this allows the public to approach the contribution and dissemination more easily and conveniently. Direct access to the disseminated WMS and WFS is via gisdmr_en.html and These can also be easily accessed by all smart devices.

Actually DMR had outsourced to establish web services since 2004, these services were developed and created based on well-known commercial software. There are many disadvantages of the previous web services. The most significant disadvantage was a lack of capacity building of either knowledge or skill in order to keep self-confidence. Besides, complex services also retrograded public satisfaction and failure on matters of dissemination. Figure 4 Shows downloading action of selected spatial feature in KML-file format.

239 Figure 7. Shows the use of mobile phone to access the published WMS ASEAN Mineral Database and Information System This is a cooperative project amongst ASEAN member states. The project is managed by the working group on mineral information and database (WGMID) of ASOMM. An official web portal called ASEAN mineral database and information system (AMDIS) has been launched by ASEAN Ministers on Minerals in November 28 th, 2013 during the 4 th AMMin in Bali, Indonesia. The portal consists of all related information concerning mineral resources such as mineral statistics, laws/ or regulations, publications, R&D directory and WebGIS. An AMDIS portal is the ultimate hope of ASOMM in order to publicize information to ASEAN citizens and overseas investors who may bring investment to the mineral sector of ASEAN. Figure 8 A general view of the AMDIS web portal. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 236 CCOP Technical Secretariat

240 DMR is assigned by the national ASOMM leader to be a member and coordinator of the WGMID. DMR intends to update all concerns, particularly the technical information on WebGIS and publications. Other information, especially mineral statistics and regulations related to mining activity, derive from the Department of Primary Industries and Mines (DPIM). Figure 9 Shows statistics example of ASEAN s copper production in 2009 on AMDIS web portal CCOP-ASEAN Harmonized Geology Projects DMR was the chance to participate in the workshop on ASEAN Mineral Resource Database in Lao PDR that was organized by JICA and hosted by the Department of Geology and Minerals, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Lao PDR during June th, Japanese experts had contributed unified legends that intended to apply for this project during the workshop. These unified legends were immediately applied to the present geological information of Thailand on scale 1:1,000,000 with arbitrary symbols. The result is displayed in Figure 10. At least 5 geological legends of Thailand are not matching to the notified unified legends. Discussion of this initial result will lead to final modification of unified legends. DMR had proposed a similarly themed project, called ASEAN Harmonized Geology, to ASOMM +3 on November 27 th, 2013 in Bali, Indonesia. The project was expected to get financial support from the ASEAN Trust Fund or one of the +3 countries. Unfortunately, the ASEAN Trust Fund is unable to contribute yet. The official supported assurance from the dialogue partners is still waiting, although GSJ had informally expressed supporting intension prior to the project submission period Non-active former CCOP Projects There are 2 former CCOP projects that are CCOP-CGS Metadata and CCOP-GSJ GEO Grid that had no activities in this year. The main problem of the first project is the lack of support of the data owners. It is the fact that the developer had informed some coordinators who had participated in the ASEAN workshop on mineral database and information system during June th, 2013 in Bali, Indonesia that the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the application had permanently moved to CGS, China. Therefore, the coordinator cannot fill-up any information into the application. On the other hand, there are some requests intended to use ASTER imageries provided from the second project but accessibility is denied. There are Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 237 CCOP Technical Secretariat

241 no messages from GSJ or responding organization informing virtual members about changes on regulations, policy and virtual managers. Figure 10 Shows implementation of unified legend, 4 th version, to the present geological information of Thailand, scale 1:1,000, Purposed Future Activities - Continuous study and research for the development of WebGIS portal. Progress is expected to enhance accessibility and usage of the up-to-date geological and related information. - Continuous update and dissemination of information on the mineral resources of the country to AMDIS. This activity hopes to enhance investments in the mineral sector of ASEAN. - Conducting cooperation among the ASEAN member states for accomplishment of the CCOP-ASEAN harmonized geology project. The output of WMS may share and contribute to either AMDIS or OneGeology. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 238 CCOP Technical Secretariat

242 7.4 Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities - IT specialists and in-house training courses on the advanced creation of web services compliant with OGC standards. - Technical and knowledge support for the development of a computerized proactive geo-hazard warning system that is a general tool for global warming readiness. 7.5 Assistance Offered to CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities - Technical assistance and instruction for the establishment of WebGIS portal and creation of WMS. - Technical assistance and instruction for training on GIS and image processing. 7.6 Other Comments. - Technical Secretariat should regularly circulate information of all active projects to coordinators and resource persons showing measures and activities to proceed. - Each project should be evaluated either as ongoing or completed. The evaluation results have to be reported to the committee in order to encourage accountability of all coordinators.

248 ENERGY PROGRAMME 1.5. Summary Timor-Leste has an area of approximately 16,000 square kilometers. It is divided into thirteen administrative districts that are located in the eastern half of Timor Island with the exception of Oecusse district, an enclave in west Timor located on the north coast. Timor- Leste has a maximum length of 275 kilometers and a maximum width of 100 kilometers. The country includes two islands, Atauro and Jaco. The country is surrounded by sea on three sides: Wetar Strait on the north, the Timor Sea on the south and the Maluku Sea on the east. Timor-Leste has a land border on the west with the Indonesian province of East Nusa Tenggara. The 13 administrative districts are subdivided into 67 subdistricts, 498 villages and 2,336 sub-villages. Timor Leste has considerable hydrocarbon resources, some of which have been established both offshore and onshore and there are great hopes to find new and significant hydrocarbon resources in previously unexplored areas. The Joint Petroleum Development Area (JPDA), formerly ZOCA, is administered jointly between Timor Leste and Australia, with a revenue split 90/10. The petroleum activities in Timor Leste, are administered by the Autoridade Nacional Petroleum (ANP). It is an institution responsible for managing and regulating petroleum activities in Timor Leste s exclusive jurisdictional areas and in the Joint Petroleum Development Area (JPDA). As indicated in the onshore map below, numerous oil and gas seeps occur in onshore of Timor Leste. A total of 24 gases and 16 oil seeps have been identified and mapped, over 20 onshore wells were drilled prior to 1975 and a number of significant oil and gas seeps have attracted industry interest to engage in onshore exploration. Figure 4 Oil and gas seeps in onshore of Timor Leste Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 245 CCOP Technical Secretariat

249 For Timor Leste Exclusive Offshore Area (see map below), in 2006, 6 out of 11 blocks were awarded to two different companies, Reliance and Eni Timor Leste. For the 6 blocks awarded, 3 firm wells were scheduled to be drilled by the end of In the JPDA area, since the early years of exploration in the 1970s numerous petroleum prospects and leads have been identified, fifty exploration wells have been drilled and four commercially viable fields have been identified and developed. Amongst these, the Elang, Kakatua and Kakatua north fields (EKKN), which produced oil since the late 1990s, ceased production in mid-2007, whilst Bayu Undan (JPDA & 03-13) continues to produce oil and gas at a steady rate since its first production in The Greater Sunrise field, with mainly natural gas, and the Kitan oil field (JPDA ), which was declared commercial early this year, are currently being assessed for appropriate development options. And the last one is JPDA , which also already approved by ANP to drill this year. Figure 5 The map of TLEA and JPDA In 2013, most of the acreages in both TLEA (Timor Leste Exclusive Area) and JPDA are open for further investment. A total of 12 PSCs are in existence in early 2013, of which 4 are in TLEA and 8 are in JPDA. By the fourth quarter of 2013, three PSCs in TLEA were fully relinquished by relevant Contract Operator.

252 Figure 7 - Bayu Undan Field Bayu Undan is a gas condensate field located 250 km from the Timor Leste South coast and 480 km north west of Darwin, Australia. The field facilities include a Central Production and Processing Complex (DPP and CUQ), FSO, WP1, subsea in field pipelines and gas export pipeline to Darwin. The field has 12 producing wells, 4 gas injection wells and 2 water injection wells. In 2013 the field produced from 12 wells, however, two producing wells were shut in due to mechanical problems and increase in water production. The average wet gas production for 2013 is 1,093 MMscf/day which yields total average liquid production (Condensate and LPG) of kbpd, whilst the export gas to Darwin LNG remains steady at an average of 570 MMscf/day and 299 MMscf/day reinjected back to the reservoir. The liquid production decreased from 83.7 kbpd reported in Graphic 1 Bayu Undan Production 2. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME 2.1. Summary In collaboration with Geoscience Australia, BESIK assisted DNCQA (National Directorate for Control and Quality of Water- Direcao Nacional do Controlo e Qualidade da Agua) to develop the National Hydrogeology Map of Timor-Leste. This map is an important planning tool for future water resource management activities as Timor-Leste s rural and urban communities are heavily dependent upon groundwater resources, particularly in the dry season and during drought. This project has created a hydrogeological GIS database which identifies aquifer types and their potential water yields. Maps, reports, videos and a fact sheet are now available to support the dissemination of this important work. BESIK supported DNCQA to test applicability of electromagnetic surveys for groundwater resource discovery in Timor-Leste, which led to a large scale airborne survey near the city of Baucau. This has provided DNCQA with critical knowledge of the Baucau Karst Limestone Aquifer which is an important and vulnerable water resource that supports the growing urban city of Baucau. A fact sheet is now available that outlines the new knowledge about the Baucau Karst Limestone Aquifer, which can support local water managers in their decision making.

Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities DNCQA are being supported by BESIK to undertake similar groundwater exploration activities in other areas of Timor-Leste and are planning for follow up work on the water resources of the Baucau region. In 2014 BESIK assisted DNCQA to establish two important water monitoring programs, one monitoring seawater intrusion into the Dili Aquifer resulting from sea level rise and over-extraction from that aquifer. A national groundwater program will monitor long term changes in the hydrogeology of Timor-Leste. These programs cover all activities, from the collection of water samples and data, through to their analysis and reporting. These activities form the basis of future national water resource monitoring by DNCQA. To support these water resources management activities, initial scoping of a national groundwater database has also commenced, drawing together disparate data sources collected over the past few years, including groundwater chemistry, hydrogeological data, sample site data and records of spring names and locations.

255 3. GEO-HAZARDS PROGRAMME GEO-ENVIRONMENT SECTOR 3.1. Summary Geographically Timor-Leste is exposed to several kinds of hazards, which include frequent events such as strong tropical windstorms, heavy rain, drought, and landslides as well as rarer (but potentially more deadly) events such as earthquakes and tsunamis. Fortunately historical hazard events have been rather localized and have not had widespread devastating impacts. The most prominent and frequent hazard types in recent history include floods, landslides, and drought (prolonged dry spells). These events typically have negative impacts on the people of Timor-Leste due to the fact that they rely heavily on domestic food production that can be affected by such hazards. Additionally, a low-probability but highconsequence event such as a major earthquake or tsunami can cause substantial damage to the country s fragile infrastructure and buildings as well as injury and fatality to residents who may not be prepared for such a disaster Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities Realizing the gap in Timor-Leste s national and local disaster risk management systems, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the National Disaster Management Directorate (NDMD) of the Government of Timor-Leste have launched a project entitled Strengthening Disaster Risk Management in Timor-Leste to be implemented between 2011 and The overall objective of the project is to develop disaster risk management capacity at the national and district levels. The key priority defined under the scope of this project is to undertake a national multi-hazard vulnerability and risk assessment to understand the disaster risk in Timor-Leste. The study established assessments for eight types of hazards in Timor-Leste including flood, landslide, coastal erosion, strong wind (cyclone), drought, forest fire, earthquake, and tsunami. The study provided an opportunity to share existing information, data and resources to develop comprehensive hazard assessments. The present study integrated all existing information and studies; developed a robust methodology at the national level which was supported by proven technical tools. The results of the hazard assessment outcome are essential for making decisions about national safety and sustainable development. The methodology has been compartmentalized into several sections depending on the type of hazard addressed. The hazard assessment incorporated data collected from existing regional research, disaster databases, and meteorological, hydrological, and geological data collected from government agencies as well as international sources. The data used in this assignment was screened and validated to ensure the accuracy of the results. The quantification and mapping of the 8 hazard types involved a combination of historical data analyses and mathematical modeling of the hazard events in terms of their frequency, intensity, and geographical coverage. A variety of well-established scientific tools and techniques were used to assess the hazards and mapping accordingly. In the end, a multihazard assessment and mapping exercise was conducted based on the best available data and scientific approaches given the time frame of the assignment. Each portion of this comprehensive hazard assessment generated a series of findings that pertains to a particular hazard that either currently or potentially affects Timor-Leste. These outputs illustrate the risk and vulnerability of the nation at the national and district levels. Below is a summary of some of the key findings organized by hazard. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 252 CCOP Technical Secretariat

256 The flood hazard assessment revealed that, of the 12 districts located in the 7 vulnerable river basins included in the study, Liquiçá district has the highest percentage (2.6%) of flood inundation area with a flood depth of over 2 meters. This flood inundation area makes up 14.3 km 2 of the area of the district. In Ainaro district, the inundation areas with flood depths less than 0.5 m accounts for 95.7 km 2 (or 1.1%) of the total 870 km 2. Figure 10 Flood hazard map of Comoro river basin Area of Capital Dili The landslide susceptibility analysis was conducted in two main parts. The first part looked at earthquake induced landslides and revealed that 50 percent of the country falls within medium landslide susceptibility zones, 1 percent falls within very high zones and 29 percent falls within high zones. These very high and high susceptibility zones are located along the eastern and northern coast. The second part looked at rainfall induced landslides and found that 33 percent of the country falls within medium landslide susceptibility zones which are spatially distributed evenly across the country. About 2 percent and 23 percent of Timor-Leste is prone to very high and high landslide susceptibility respectively. These areas are typically located in mountainous regions with relatively soft rock masses that surround harder fragments. High and very high susceptibility zones are prevalent in the western part of Timor-Leste, such as in Bobonaro, Ermera, and Ainaro districts.

258 The coastal erosion hazard assessment provides a broad picture of the relative susceptibility of Timor-Leste s coastline to beach erosion. The study found that the stretches of coast that are highly susceptible to erosion are concentrated mostly in the south which is exposed to higher waves than the north. The entire coastline of some districts such as Aileu, Manufahi and Viqueque are highly susceptible to coastal erosion. Figure 13 Coastal erosion susceptibility map for Timor-Leste The strong wind hazard assessment identified districts that are susceptible to high wind speeds. The districts that are in danger of experiencing 75 to 85 kilometer per hour (km/hr) winds for the 100 year return period are Ainaro, Covalima and Bobonaro. Additionally, Dili, Ermera and Aileu are at risk of sustaining 65 to 75 km/hr winds. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 255 CCOP Technical Secretariat

260 The drought hazard assessment utilized the Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) to analyze the susceptibility of Timor-Leste to drought conditions. The SPI was used to quantify the precipitation deficit for multiple time scales and investigate the temporal and spatial variation of drought and its severity. A study of the temporal variation of drought found that moderate drought frequently occurs in all the seasons. However by comparison, severe and extreme droughts are less common. The drought occurrence probability study found that the chances of moderate and severe droughts during the dry season are higher than the wet and main rainy season while the probability of extreme drought is highest in the main rainy season. An analysis of the spatial variations of drought found that the areas that are most susceptible to experiencing moderate to extreme drought vary by season. Figure 16 - Moderate to extreme drought susceptibility maps for (a) Dry Season (b) Wet Season (c) Main Rainy Season and (d) November-October (Annual). The forest fire susceptibility analysis found that the majority of forest area in Timor- Leste is highly susceptible to forest fires. Large portions of districts such as Aileu, Ainaro, Baucau, Ermera, Liquiçá, and Viqueque are at high risk while smaller portions of some districts such as Dili, Liquiçá and Manatuto have an even greater risk. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 257 CCOP Technical Secretariat

261 Figure 17 - Forest fire susceptibility map of Timor-Leste The earthquake hazard assessment identified most of the eastern part of the country as having an earthquake hazard level of Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) VII, while most of the western districts were identified as MMI VI. Hence, the western part of the country could be exposed to a lesser level of earthquake hazard than in the eastern part. There are pockets of areas which were identified as MMI VIII. Those areas are situated along the southern coast of the island, for example, in Covalima, Lautem, and Manufahi districts.

Sustainable development of mineral resources in Myanmar 2. Climate change adaptation project in Vietnam (VIETADAPT) 3. Mineral processing in Mongolia 4. Two tender processes in Lao PDR failed. 2. Review of current technical activities and geoscience programmes in the CCOP Region (Multilateral or Bilateral) 2.1 Sustainable development of mineral resources in Myanmar (SUSMIN) GTK s most recent project in the CCOP region is termed Sustainable development of mineral resources in Myanmar (SUSMIN project). It started in March 2014, the local counterparts being the Department of Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration (DGSE), and the Department of Mines (DoM), both from the Ministry of Mines of Myanmar. The project content was designed during a preparatory fact finding mission of GTK delegation to Myanmar in May 2013 and a counter visit of Myanmar experts to Finland in September It is financed by the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (FMFA) using a specific development fund called Institutional Cooperation Initiative (ICI). The budget for the initial first two years of the project including the costs of the earlier preparatory phase is about USD The SUSMIN project includes three different work packages or result areas including 1) GIS and information management 2) GIS aided geological mapping process 3) Promotion of mineral potential of Myanmar The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Ministry of Mines, Department of Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration and Department of Mines (DGSE) on one side and GTK on the other was officially signed in March By now, three different missions have been completed by GTK experts to Myanmar focusing on Result area 1; GIS and information management. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 300 CCOP Technical Secretariat

304 The carried out activities focus on capacity building within the geo-sector with the main emphasis on GIS training, digital data production/compilation and information management infrastructure development. As a result, a new GIS office including five computers with ArcGIS software has been established, and nine selected staff members have had an intense and tailored GIS training programme. In addition to the GIS training and general institutional capacity building, the main concrete aim of the project (in Result area 1) is to develop a digital Myanmar GeoDataBase (MMGEODB), into which all available and future geodata will be stored into a geographically uniform and easy-to-use format. As most of the data was originally in hardcopy format (mainly maps), their processing is time consuming and requires intense involvement and commitment of the local GIS staff applying their newly-developed skills. Due to the strong local commitment at all levels, the work has progressed unusually well. The project has established three different and continuous data collection and modification processes at the local geological survey (DGSE). These include the following activities (i) scanning and georeferencing (=linking the maps with coordinates) of the two types of topographical backgrounds maps (both types are in active use in Myanmar), (ii) scanning and georeferencing the existing geological maps with defined priorities, and (iii) translating and tabulating the information/data of the annual Catalogue of the Mineral Occurrences of Myanmar into an excel table to be transferred into the geodatabase. Together these dataset will form the core of the MMGEODB. The second Result area, training in GIS aided geological mapping has been scheduled for early In addition to developing the necessary geological field skills to make geological observations and store them in a digital format, this activity is also aiming that all future spatial field data will be systematically added into the MMGEODB. It has to be emphasised that the geologists participating the field training are dominantly the same as those in GIS training. One of the important goals of the project is to modernize the local geological survey and develop its function as national Geoinformation Centre where all existing and future geodata is collected, stored and used for fact-based decision making and eventually used for Promotion of mineral potential of Myanmar (Result area 3). Myanmar is becoming an important target country for Finnish development aid, and a new governmental office has been established in Yangon. GTK is discussing the possibilities to extend its project activities also into the environmental sector. 2.2 VIETADAPT project The Project "Development and Implementation of Climate Change Adaption Measures in Coastal Areas in Vietnam" (VIETADAPT) concentrated its activities on two case study areas, Ba Ria -Vung Tau in Southern Vietnam and Thanh Hoa in Northern Vietnam. The implantation period has been from October 2011 to December The main activities focused on: Evaluating climate change and socio-economic development scenarios. Identifying human development and climate change impacts on the environment. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 301 CCOP Technical Secretariat

305 Identifying, modeling and mapping vulnerabilities and risks on groundwater resources Developing a local climate change adaptation strategy, applying interdisciplinary science - stakeholder communication tools. As a result of these activities, the project has: Determined the socio-economic development and climate change impacts on the environment of the two case study areas Studied vulnerabilities of groundwater and surface water resources to both, climate change and socio economic development impacts Endorsed interdisciplinary communication between scientists and local stakeholders via scenario workshops. Made initial steps to develop local climate change adaptation measures in close cooperation with local stakeholders Trained young Vietnamese scientists in water resource modeling and management, as well as the development of climate change adaptation measures. The VIETADAPT project has developed trust among liability stakeholders and received positive feedback from authorities in charge of water resource and environmental management and climate change adaptation. Results achieved by VIETADAPT are being used to implement local climate change adaptation strategies in the case study areas as well as in the development and implementation of the Vietnamese Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (2011). The project was financed by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland by the ICI Fund with a budget of USD During the project, GTK was cooperating with the Vietnam Institute of Meteorology, Hydrology and Environment (IMHEN) and the Centre for Water Resources Planning and Investigation (NAWAPI) as local partners. GTK has handed in a proposal for a second phase of VIETADAPT and received funding for a preparatory phase (2014). The decision about a full second stage project is still pending. 2.3 Development of research services for REE-ores at Central Geological Laboratory (CGL), Mongolia CHINGISS PROCESS II Background The CHINGISS PROCESS II project is a clear continuation for the CHINGISS PROCESS project implemented in Dec 2009 Sept 2011 during which the more detailed objectives of the current project were defined. It was funded by the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs having a budget of USD The project period covers 2.5 years it started in July and will continue till the end of During the initial phase of the collaborative project, a need for further development of research services was recognized by both national organizations, the Central Geological Laboratory (CGL) from Mongolia, and GTK from Finland. As a result, it Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 302 CCOP Technical Secretariat

306 was decided that the second phase of the project, CHINGISS PROCESS II, will focus on the characterization and processing of the Rare Earth Element (REE) ores. This was due to the fact that Mongolia has high geological potential for the deposits of strategic minerals including REEs and other high-tech elements, expected to be increasingly important in the future. The CHINGISS PROCESS II project strengthens the knowledge and capabilities of both institutes (CGL and GTK) in the areas of REE s geology, mineralogy and processing. Purpose The main purpose was to improve the technical service capacity of the Mineral Processing laboratory of CGL Training of personnel Purchase of new equipment Enhance the general administrative capacity of CGL by training the staff in issues like governance, administration, information management and reporting The project would also enhance cooperation and networking of CGL, and make the CGL services better known Mineral processing : methods and technologies for extracting REE minerals Implementation Two field trips to REE deposits in Mongolia have been done by Mongolian and Finnish geologists In total, 80 mineral processing studies have been carried out. Mineralogical trainings have been completed. Mineral processing training has been completed. Management training has been carried out. An X-ray diffractometer, a laboratory size autoclave and low magnetic separator are delivered and installed at CGL. Closing seminar was held in Ulaanbaatar in June The project and all its reporting will be completed by the end of Activities in Lao PDR After completing two projects in Lao PDR, the FMFA funded Lao-Finnish Minerals Sector Institutional Project LAOFIMIN ( ) and its continuation, the Mining Cadastre System project ( ) financed with the World Bank (WB), GTK also participated in the tender process of two additional WB funded projects in September 2013 but unfortunately with a negative outcome and as a result the activities in Lao PDR have ended.

309 Risk Assessment/Management in Lanzhou, Gansu Province was initiated. A joint hydrogeological research project on vulnerability and pollution risk assessment of karst groundwater systems in Guangxi and Guizhou (SW China) is actually under preparation for an estimated three years. - Seismic risk analysis - Yanqing The Yanqing Project is a joint project of BGR and the Chinese Earthquake Administration (CEA). An array of 9 seismological 3-component broadband stations is being used to investigate the Yanqing-Huailai basin, a seismically active region about 80 km northwest of Beijing. The goals of the project are observation and analysis of near field records for a better understanding of the source process and as a contribution to the seismic risk analysis of the Beijing region. As first steps the seismicity has been analyzed and local velocity models have been derived. Ongoing work aims at the further refinement of the velocity structure, the integration of neighboured stations of Chinese networks and the incorporation of geological (tectonic) models of the area into the interpretation of the observations. In October 2012 BGR experts visited CEA for jointly coordinating the further course of the project. Possible topical fields are structural studies based on seismic noise correlation, integration of the stations into the Beijing network, contribution to the China Array Project, and extension of the network with mobile seismic stations. Geo-Environment: Investigations for the final disposal of radioactive waste Based on the Memorandum of Understanding between BGR and BRIUG signed in 2010, the work is continually focused on the methodological study of site characterisations, especially the Chinese Beishan site and the study of geotechnical barrier systems. Contributions from the BRIUG about a long-term Mock-up experiment on the Chinese Gaomiaozi bentonite to the EC project PEBS coordinated by the BGR are deeply respected by the other European members. BGR and GRS are together involved in the evaluation of a 1:1 in situ experiment, in which the heater-bentonite-granite-system after Chinese disposal concept is being tested in a uranium mine in South China. In view of the fruitful cooperation in the past an extension of the current MoU after 2014 is in progress.

316 COORDINATING COMMITTEE FOR GEOSCIENCE PROGRAMMES IN EAST AND SOUTHEAST ASIA (CCOP) CCOP Building, 75/10 Rama VI Road, Phayathai, Ratchathewi, Bangkok 10400, Thailand Tel: +66 (0) , Fax: +66 (0) , Website: ANNUAL COOPERATING COUNTRY REPORT Country/Organization: The Netherlands Period: 1 July June Summary During the reporting period the Dutch government, agencies and institutes only passively collaborated with CCOP. The Dutch Government is adapting its international economic cooperation policy shifting from Aid to Trade. The focus of Dutch collaboration is still firmly on the general topic of water, and in Asia the Dutch try to create opportunities by mobilizing knowledge and experience in this sector from The Netherlands in synergy with the strong developing economies of Asia. The main activities in the reporting period were located in Indonesia. 2. Review of current technical activities and geoscience programmes in the CCOP Region (Multilateral or Bilateral) Indonesia: Jakarta, peat lowlands and subsidence: In a context of bilateral cooperation under the Netherlands Water Mondiaal programme the Netherlands and Indonesian government have in 2012 renewed the 4 party MoU between the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment, the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management of the Netherlands and the State Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Public Works of the Republic of Indonesia. The renewed cooperation focuses on a) Water safety, flood management, integrated water resources management and urban drainage management; b) Water security, water supply and sanitation; c) Water for food and ecosystems; d) Water and c1imate; and e) Water Governance and Capacity Building. A major project in the context of this MoU is the National Capital Integrated Coastal Development (NCICD) Project which presents a Master Plan and implementation arrangements for the protection and development of the coastline of Jakarta. The main issue is subsidence, necessitating the design of an outer protective dam in Jakarta Bay (see figure 1). On October the groundbreaking ceremony took place initiating this ambitious project. Knowledge exchange is another important topic. This is implemented through the Joint Cooperation project in which the Water Resources Research Center (PusAir) of the Ministry Public Works and the Meteorological and Climate Institute (BMKG) of Indonesia cooperate with Deltares and the Netherlands Meteorological institute (KNMI). In 2014 this cooperation has been expanded to include institutes active in Geospatial information and institutes on Agriculture. The project has been extended for two years aiming at developing information services based on weather and climate data for end users in the agricultural sector.

317 Figure 1: An artist impression of the development and protection of the coast of Jakarta, Indonesia (Source NCICD). The lowlands of Indonesia covering an area of about 36 million ha or 10x the land area of The Netherlands- consist mainly of tropical peat. In faxt 57 Per cent of the tropical peat areas in the world can be found in Indonesia. The amount of stored CO2 in the peat is of enormous importance for the climate. This greenhouse gas will be released suddenly if the peat is developed without precautions. Together with the Indonesian Government, the Palm Oil industry and the Paper and Pulp Industry best practices are sought for sustainable operation of plantations and rewetting of peat areas. Subsidence In many coastal and delta cities land subsidence exceeds absolute sea level rise up to a factor of ten. Without action, parts of Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok and numerous other coastal cities will sink below sea level. Increased flooding and other widespread impacts of land subsidence resulted in damage totaling billions of dollars per year (Erkens et al., 2014). A key cause of severe land subsidence is excessive groundwater extraction due to rapid urbanization and population growth. Over the years, considerable attention has been given to the subsidence problems in the Greater Jakarta area and the city of Bandung. Subsidence has been measured, modeled and solutions such as diminished groundwater withdrawal have been proposed (Dam, 2013). However, until now, little has been achieved to slow down subsidence in both areas. There are several underlying reasons; including some routed in the governance structure, but an evidently important factor is the lack of knowledge about the physical system. Major uncertainties exist in understanding the subsidence in Jakarta and Bandung. There is currently no database storing subsurface and geotechnical information. As a result those, models available for Jakarta or Bandung that simulate subsidence as a result of groundwater extraction lack input. Additionally, over the last few years, there has been renewed interest in subsidence research over the world. The UNESCO committee for land subsidence has been joined by a newly formed European Technical Committee for Land Subsidence, both aiming at exchange of knowledge and creating awareness among policy makers and scholars. Last year, the Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 314 CCOP Technical Secretariat

318 subsidence research community was invited to the first international coastal subsidence meeting in New Orleans USA to discuss research progress and a future research agenda. This new energy in subsidence research needs to be transferred and extended to Indonesian researchers to build towards a solution strategy on subsidence and water supply challenges in Jakarta and Bandung. The project foresees several steps: 1. a new subsurface and geotechnical database will be constructed, dedicated to subsidence modelling 2. presentation/workshops with the users/stakeholders and discussion of the results of the subsidence model. 3. a roundtable workshop on subsidence will be organised to exchange knowledge on subsidence among researchers and policy makers 3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support to current and future activities Deltares and the Geological Survey of the Netherlands will continue to seek funding for collaboration projects and appreciates initiatives from CCOP Member countries, geoscience agencies and state oil companies for opportunities to cooperate. Initiatives in the named delta regions and adjacent coastal and offshore areas are particularly worthwhile for follow-up, as well as pertinent climate change issues that affect multiple CCOP member countries. Especially possibilities will be sought to include CCOP membership in the subsidence discussion. 4. Reports/publications of technical activities for dissemination to CCOP Member Countries including contributions to GRID-Net IGRAC: During the 4th World Water Forum in Mexico City, Mexico, 2006, UNESCO and WMO reconfirmed the importance of sustainable groundwater management and support of IGRAC. In April 2007 the Executive Council of UNESCO formally accepted the proposal to establish IGRAC as a Category II UNESCO Institute in The Netherlands; it is now hosted at UNESCO-IHE in Delft, The Netherlands. The Centre operates a Global Groundwater Information System, promotes and develops guidelines and protocols, exchanges groundwater information and addresses global groundwater issues and trends. The member countries are invited to consult the web under to be informed about the results so far and also contribute to the benefit of the groundwater community worldwide. The website also provides access to a number of interesting products (maps, reports, videos), such as the impact of the 2004 Tsunami on groundwater resources in the region. The Geological Survey of the Netherlands is the public centre for information on the Dutch subsurface. DINOshop ( is the central portal for access to Data and Information on the Subsurface of the Netherlands (DINO). The DINO system is the central databank for geoscientific information on both the shallow and deep subsurface of the Netherlands. The archive contains shallow and deep borehole information, groundwater data, cone penetration tests, geo-electrical measurements, the results from geological, geochemical and geomechanical sample analyses, borehole measurements, and seismic data. DINOShop only grants access to the public information in DINO. Subscribers can visit the 'shop' to retrieve - online - the information they're looking for. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 315 CCOP Technical Secretariat

319 The site (only in Dutch) gives an overview of interesting geological monuments, locations, or museums. The Geological Survey of the Netherlands is also a partner in the internet site (only in Dutch) with amongst other, a lot of information on geology and nature. Deltares: Deltares prepares diverse technical papers and thematic reports. Most of these provide stateof-the-art knowledge and views of Dutch and international experts. Whenever possible Deltares aims at making the knowledge freely available: On the website a search can be conducted to find and download reports and publications. The development, application and sharing of knowledge is the essence of Deltares work. A wiki based open knowledge platform is made available where Deltares cooperates with universities, government authorities, other knowledge institutes and the corporate sector on issues related to water, subsurface and infrastructure: Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 316 CCOP Technical Secretariat

Petrad has a long standing history of cooperation with CCOP for activities in Asia, for mutual benefit. During the past 12 month period, 7 capacity building seminars and workshops have been completed in Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Thailand and Vietnam through the cooperation with CCOP. The future funding situation is uncertain. 2. Petrad activities with CCOP and ASCOPE members in the period 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014: The following seminars, workshops and program activities have been completed in support of CCOP and ASCOPE capacity building: After 1 July 2013: Study tour to Malaysia incl. Petronas, UTP, etc by 65 MSc students from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

322 8-week programs in Stavanger, Norway 11 participants from the following countries in East and Southeast Asia participated in Petrad's 8-week programs in Stavanger, Norway from 16 September to 7 November, 2013: Petroleum Policy and Management': Myanmar (1), Phillippines (1), Thailand (2), Timor Leste (1) Petroleum Development and Operations': Indonesia (1), Malaysia (2), Myanmar (1), Philippines (1), Timor Leste (1) Many of these received scholarships worth about USD each, which were provided either by Norad or other Norwegian Authority Institutions. (Currently, 8 persons from Cambodia, Myanmar, Philippines and Thailand are participating in the week program, due to be completed on 6 November this year, and which will be reported in next year s report). 3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP and ASCOPE in support to current and future activities Several proposals and requests have been made for further knowledge sharing activities. However, as mentioned in last year s report, the funding situation for Petrad s future support to CCOP and ASCOPE is very uncertain. The earlier continuous support for Asian activities from the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy has ceased, and current funding is based on project financing on a year-to-year or project-to-project basis. Current funding includes one last activity with CCOP and ASCOPE in Brunei next month, after which new applications for fresh funds have to be processed, with the outcome not known until January Hence, at the time of writing, it is not known what funds Petrad will have for next year s activities in Asia, and it is not expected that this will become clear until early next year. We are, however, in communication with potential end users for future seminars, in order not to lose momentum in the interim period. 4. Reports/publications of technical activities for dissemination to CCOP Member Countries including contributions to GRID-Net All reports from previous Petrad seminars in East and Southeast Asia are available through the CCOP Technical Secretariat in Bangkok. 5. Others Petrad s Managing Director for the last 25 years, Dr. Øystein Berg, retired on July 1 st this year, and was replaced by Mr. Geir Egil Eie as new AD, who will focus on matters closer to Petrad s overall development. Dr. Berg also had project responsibility for Petrad s activities in Asia, which will now be continued under the responsibility of the author of this report. I am looking forward to working with CCOP TS and CCOP members in the future. Dr. Øystein Berg sends his fondest regards to all present and past CCOP officers and Member Country representatives.

324 COORDINATING COMMITTEE FOR GEOSCIENCE PROGRAMMES IN EAST AND SOUTHEAST ASIA (CCOP) CCOP Building, 75/10 Rama VI Road, Phayathai, Ratchathewi, Bangkok 10400, Thailand Tel: +66 (0) , Fax: +66 (0) , Website: ANNUAL COOPERATING ORGANIZATION REPORT Country/Organization: Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Period: 1 July June Summary A MoU for cooperation between CCOP and UKM has been in effect since 19 July The signing of the MoU between CCOP and UKM and its subsequent elevation to Cooperating Organization was strongly supported and facilitated by the Permanent Representative of Malaysia to the CCOP, the Director General of the Minerals and Geoscience Department, Malaysia. Many activities have been jointly undertaken between UKM and CCOP over the past decade under the auspices of the Minerals and Geoscience Department of Malaysia. The activities were organized to recognize the importance of regional cooperation and build capacity of geoscientists in addressing issues related to sustainable development. Highlights of some of the current initiatives include the following:- Publications from joint organization of the Thematic Session on Geoscience Innovations for Sustainable Development: The Future We Want held on 6-7 November 2012, in conjunction with the 48th CCOP Annual Session in Langkawi, Malaysia. Follow-up initiative on joint organization of the Workshop on Natural Hazards and Climate Change Adaptation, on 9 November 2012, in conjunction with the 48th CCOP Annual Session in Langkawi, Malaysia. CCOP-SEADPRI-UKM s collaborative project on Feasibility of Networking Petroleum Geoscience Institutions in East and Southeast Asia was completed. 2. Review of current technical activities and geoscience programmes in the CCOP Region (Multilateral or Bilateral) Joint activities between CCOP and UKM focus on building capacity of geoscientists in expanding geoscience to support sustainable development. The activities include the following:- (i) Publication from 48 th CCOP Annual Session: Thematic Session At the 48 th CCOP Annual Session in Langkawi, Malaysia, UKM jointly organized the Thematic Session Geoscience Innovations for Sustainable Development: The Future We Want on 6-7 November 2012 with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Malaysia, the Minerals and Geoscience Department, Malaysia, Petronas and CCOP Technical Secretariat. The theme aimed to show-case geoscience innovations contributing to sustainable Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 321 CCOP Technical Secretariat

325 development by Member Countries geoscience organizations alone or as part of a multidisciplinary effort particularly in relation to attaining green economy. A total of 6 thematic papers from the Thematic Session were published in the Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia, Volume 59. The printed bulletin was distributed to CCOP member countries at the 49th Annual Session of the Coordinating Committee for Geoscience Programmes in East and Southeast Asia (CCOP) at Sendai International Center in Japan in October (ii) Follow-up initiative on workshop on Natural Hazards and Climate Change Adaptation The Workshop on Natural Hazards and Climate Change Adaptation was jointly organized by the Minerals and Geoscience Department of Malaysia (JMG), Southeast Asia Disaster Prevention Research Initiative of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (SEADPRI-UKM), Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) and CCOP Technical Secretariat (CCOP-TS), in conjunction with the 48th Annual Session of the CCOP, held from 4-8 November 2012 in Langkawi Island, Malaysia. The workshop aimed to sensitize the geoscience community to risk and vulnerability assessments with respect to disasters and climate change as well as to improve the identification of socio-economically feasible adaptation options. The workshop initiated efforts to start integrated research on disasters and climate extremes that involving various stakeholders. (iii) Feasibility of Networking Petroleum Geoscience Institutions in East and Southeast Asia The CCOP-SEADPRI collaborative project on Feasibility of Networking Petroleum Geoscience Institutions in East and Southeast Asia was divided into 2 phases: Phase 1 for petroleum geoscience and Phase 2 for the other disciplines of geoscience. The CCOP Technical Secretariat contributed USD 45,000 for Phase 1 of the Project while SEADPRI- UKM supported Phase 2. The purpose of the Phase 1 Project is to determine whether a platform could be provided for promoting sharing of knowledge, human, financial resources, facilities, experience in curriculum development and conduct of joint activities in petroleum geoscience. The immediate objective is to determine whether it is feasible to establish a regional petroleum geoscience network and to propose a collaborative mechanism for this purpose. A network of networks framework has been proposed. This is envisaged as a CCOP network for the petroleum geoscience institutions including universities initially. The framework could then be applied for other sectors of geoscience such as geohazards, environmental geology, mineral and groundwater resource. For each sector, the Network of Networks would link national networks, regional network(s) of universities as well as regional organisations. Besides networking within the sector, the proposed CCOP Network of Networks can facilitate cross-disciplinary sharing, exchange and collaboration. The central hub of all the networks is the CCOP Technical Secretariat, which serves as the Anchor Organisation and manages the networks. The Project proposed that the Network of Petroleum Geoscience Institutions be established by building on the existing EPPM network to include other institutions that have petroleum geoscience activities, to expand the scope of the activities beyond EPPM, and to enhance the level of sharing and collaboration among the network members. Phase 2 focuses on developing a multi-disciplinary network of researchers on climatic hazards. It draws on a LESTARI-UKM project entitled Assessment of Higher Education Needs for Climate and Ecosystems Change and Adaptation that commenced in December Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 322 CCOP Technical Secretariat

326 2009. The study was undertaken within the framework of the United Nations University Network for Climate and Ecosystems Change Adaptation Research (UN-CECAR). The objective of the assessment is to map the genuine need for enhancing climate change and related degree programs. The findings will serve to inform CCOP on the multidisciplinary expertise available in East and Southeast Asia and mechanisms to form linkages with such groups. The potential for geoscience expertise to strengthen multi-disciplinary research groups will also be identified. The report of the CCOP-SEADPRI Collaborative Project entitled: Proposed Framework of Networking Petroleum Geoscience Institutions in East and Southeast Asia was submitted to the CCOP-Technical Secretariat in The report for the second phase and a manuscript authored by Begum, R.A, Pereira, J.J, Chen, S.P. & Caluyong, S.P. is currently under preparation. 3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support to current and future activities Reports/publications of technical activities for dissemination to CCOP Member Countries including contributions to GRID-Net Geological Museums of East and Southeast Asia The book on the Geological Museums of East and South East Asia published in 2011 is the second in the series under the joint publication project between LESTARI-UKM and CCOP. The first in the series entitled Geoheritage of East and South East Asia was published earlier in Publication in Bulletin of Geological Society Malaysia Paper from 6 thematic papers from the CCOP Thematic Session 2012 was published in the Scopus-indexed, Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia, vol59.
