Sumatra, Sunda Shelf, Natuna - Bibliography of Indonesia Geology

(W Natuna Tertiary 3-4 megasequences (Oligocene syn-rift, Late Oligocene- earliest Miocene post-rift, E-M
Miocene syn-inversion, Late Miocene-Recent post inversion), subdivided into third-order sequences. Two major
Tertiary petroleum systems: syn-rift and syn-inversion. Two source intervals in syn-rift of larger rift halfgrabens:
(1) early syn-rift open lacustrine, with algal organic matter, and (2) late syn-rift shallow lacustrine/
shoreline,with mixed algal- terrestrial organic matter. Source rocks of syn-inversion coals and coaly shales)

grain-prone carbonates of late highstand-systems tract on platform crest. Porosity also downdip in onlapping

shelfward) side. Eustatic sea-level rise in E Pliocene, combined with continued subsidence,
drowned platform and ended carbonate sedimentation)
