Abstract

Destructive earthquakes are frequently related to inland active faults. In recent years, a significant number of shallow earthquakes with low magnitude have occurred in southern Garut, West Java, Indonesia. Two earthquakes, with magnitudes of M4.2 and M3.9 in 2016 and 2017, respectively, have caused significant damage and were interpreted as indications of an active fault. We used publicly available gravity data to infer the subsurface structure that may be related to recent seismic activity. We used spectral analysis and filtering techniques for the regional-residual anomaly separation and anomaly enhancement to show the basin structure in the study area. 3D gravity inversion modelling was performed to obtain the subsurface density distribution. The result indicates the sedimentary layers with a density of 2.4 to 2.5 gr/cm3 with an underlying basement with a density of 2.65 gr/cm3. An intra-basin basement high with an NE-SW trend divides the basin into two sub-basins. This local basement high can be associated with a magmatic intrusion body and a series of young volcanic bodies located at the northeastern end of the basin. Our results emphasize a possible strong interaction between the tectonic and magmatic activities in this region.

Abstract

Studying the basement depth and fault structures is crucial for understanding basin geometry and fluid migration pathways. This study aims to understand basin geometry using gravity data in the Banten area, Indonesia, as a region with possible hydrocarbon prospects. Anomaly gradients derived from the Bouguer anomaly were conducted for fault analysis. Meanwhile, basement depth estimation was performed using Euler deconvolution, with a Structural Index (SI) of 0 and window sizes of 7 km × 7 km and 10 km × 10 km. Additionally, 3D inversion modelling with Grablox 1.6 was applied to model the sediment-basement interface. The anomaly gradient results correlate well with regional fault structures, and local structures align with high-gradient areas in southern Banten. Furthermore, high-gradient values are associated with hydrocarbon seep locations, indicating fractures or faults transporting hydrocarbons. The depth estimations of Euler deconvolution cannot accurately identify the discontinuities forming the basin. However, they align reasonably well with the sediment-basement interface of the density model. The model reveals basin structures up to 7.8 km deep in the Bogor Basin and its surroundings, consistent with low residual anomaly areas, aiding in the early estimation of lateral basin boundaries.
