Sumatra, Sunda Shelf, Natuna - Bibliography of Indonesia Geology

(Nova field in Baturaja Limestone in SW part S Sumatra basin discovered in 1998. 31 wells drilled, but 8 wells
unsuccessful and 3 wells with poor flow, all due to poor reservoir quality. High porosity values in reefal
buildup, rel. low value in platform facies)

Sumatra Basin. Proc. 39th Ann. Conv. Indon. Assoc. Geol. (IAGI), Lombok, PIT-IAGI-2010-058, 12 p.
(C Sumatra basin prolific hydrocarbons, with most oil sourced from Oligocene lacustrine shales-coal of Brown
Shale Fm. Brown Shale in Kiri Trough TOC 0.7-13% for shales, mainly type III kerogen from higher plant
material (pristane/phytane ratio >3). Kiri Trough Brown Shale deposited in more paludal setting than
lacustrine Brown Shale of other troughs in C Sumatra. This facies of Brown Shale typically generates gas)

III kerogen and thermally immature to early mature. However, some oils in Jabung area show close correlation
to Gumai shales, showing that shales generated oils)

discoveries of N Geragai and Makmur Fields, 1997 NE Betara and subsequent discoveries. Gas geochemistry
shows wet thermogenic gases. Locally high CO2 gas in Lower Talang Akar Fm from thermal destruction of
carbonate. Sources and reservoirs of gas encompass almost whole of Oligocene to Miocene sediments)

reservoir on platform. Over next 60 years, 20 additional wells discovered hydrocarbons: only two were oil;
remainder found gas. Five types of carbonate build-up in Baturaja Fm. Exspan 1997 Soka-1 on flank of Bungur
