(High-T spreading centre subducted beneath Sumatra, making cool area warmer. Indian Ocean crustal
thickness thickens away from spreading centres, affecting Sunda Craton thermal regimes as spreading centres
collided with craton. Wharton Ridge paleo-spreading centre collided with Sumatran subduction zone and
created ridge/trench triple junction. Collision of Sunda Craton and W Sumatran spreading centre results in
parts of trench with thinner crust and certain locations to be hotter. Outer arc basins usually considered nonprospective
due to low thermal gradients caused by extra thickness of crust, but areas where spreading centre
collides will only be slightly greater than one plate thick and warmer, increasing petroleum potential)

carbonates and further stratigraphic potential highlighted. Plio-Pleistocene Sembilang High structural uplift
resulted in erosion of thousands of feet. Uplift associated with regional tilt to SE, causing possible re-migration.
Recent faulting broke up carbonate complex and off-reef platform facies now structurally higher than original
reef crest, which resulted in earlier drilling missing build-up)

(N Sumatra Basin Late Eocene - E Miocene early rift, E Miocene N6- N8 sag. Rifting produced N-S trending
subsidence with coarse clastics (Bruksah Fm) in rifts prior to P22, followed by widespread marine shales
(Bampo Fm) from P22 to N4. Foraminiferal mounds accumulated on ramps and crests of some rifts, with
transgressions in P22 and N4. Marine Belumai Fm late rift (N4-N6) sands from craton filled grabens.
Unconformity developed above early syn-rift sediments. Sag-phase subsidence accompanied by carbonate
deposition (Peutu Fm) associated with flooding events at N7 and N8. On S structures transgressive platforms
(N7) overlain by coral reefs or equivalent deep-water carbonates (N8). On craton, carbonate mounds and
buildups overlie thick marine sandstones. Between these areas deep-water limestones and marls)
