Abstract

Ultramafic rocks, as the main raw material for the formation of nickel laterite in nature, are important object to study and explore for their availability since nickel is very important mineral in producing batteries for electric cars which is expected to reduce carbon emissions in the future. Along with that, the storage of carbon dioxide in ultramafic rocks is considered as one of the safest storage method because carbon dioxide reacts naturally with magnesium-rich minerals contained in these rocks. The reaction between carbon dioxide and magnesium-rich minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, and serpentine will produce magnesite (MgCO3), which is more stable in nature. Ultramafic rocks have wide distribution in southeastern arm of Sulawesi Island, especially in Sorowako and the surrounding areas. The method used in this research is an observation method on outcrops and supported by laboratory analysis. Ultramafic rocks in Sorowako area have wide distribution and have varying degrees of serpentinization. The magnesium (Mg) element contained in the research area is widely spread as well as the development of geological structure allows the potential development of ultramafic rocks as carbon storage.

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe research area is located in offshore North West Java, Central Ardjuna Sub-Basin that belonging to PT. Pertamina Hulu Energi Abar. The study focused on the source rock in Talang Akar Formation and hydrocarbons contained in the area. The data used in this research is the source rock and oil geochemical data. Source rock data is evaluated from wells YZD-1, YY-1 and DZN-1. From the analysis of the source rock was found that the source rock generate the hydrocarbons in the well YZD-1 and YY-1. The source rock is dominated by organic material with kerogen type II-III and III-II are derived from terrestrial organic material that mixes with algae tend to produce a mixture of oil and gas. Source rock organic material in wells YZD-1 depth interval 8421.9-8450 ft. deposited in the deep lake area in the oxic conditions. While the organic material in the source rock in the well YY-1 depth interval 6898.92-6909ft. deposited in the shallow lake in the oxic conditions. There are four oil samples, namely samples DST1 CC-1, CC-1 DST3, FZE-1 DST1, and FZE-1 DST2. The analysis showed that there is a positive correlation between samples and showed that the sample is deposited on the deep lake environments and shallow lakes with a mixture of organic material higher plants and algae. Based on the geochemical characteristics, oil samples taken from a number of wells are positively correlated to the source rock samples. Based on burial history modeling, the oil generation in the Basal Talang Akar Formation in this area began in the Early Miocene to the present. And in the Deltaic Talang Akar formation began in the Middle Miocene to the present.

The very fertile farming area is then converted into residential and industrial area. Analysis of land capability in the form of rock characteristics, slope, geological hazards, water potential, soil texture, drainage, soil sensitivity to erosion and rainfall are very important in determining the suitability of land that would manage land use. Factors of natural hazards as well as water catchment areas is a limiting factor for land use as cultivated area that should be regulated so that the land use is not harmful to people as well as maintaining the balance of nature. Catchment areas in the region shows the slopes of Mount Salak catchment area lies in the medial facies with elevation of 600-900 meters above sea level and on the slopes of Mount Pangrango catchment areas located in the proximal facies with 2058-21227 meters elevation mean sea level.Key word : volcano, Area Development, Land capability

Abstract

Temperatur merupakan aspek penting dalam sistem panas bumi untuk pengembangan panas bumi sebagai sumber energi. Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mengetahui jenis litologi, mineral alterasi, tipe dan intensitas alterasi serta penyebarannya pada sumur X, dan bertujuan menentukan temperatur berdasarkan geotermometer mineral yang kemudian dibandingkan dengan data hasil pengukuran temperatur (T) sumur. Objek dalam penelitian ini berupa serbuk bor (cutting) dari sumur X yang dianalisis dengan metode petrologi, petrografi, dan XRD. Hasilnya menunjukkan, bahwa litologi sumur X terdiri atas andesit terubah, tuf litik terubah, dan tuf kristal terubah. Mineral alterasi yang berkembang didominasi oleh mineral alterasi dengan pH netral yang berupa kuarsa sekunder, kalsit, epidot, montmorilonit, illit, smektit, klorit, oksida besi, dan pirit, serta beberapa mineral ber-pH asam seperti kaolinit, kristobalit, anhidrit, dan haloysit. Berdasarkan asosiasi mineralnya, alterasi pada sumur X dibagi menjadi tiga tipe, yaitu alterasi argilik dengan perkiraan temperatur antara 150oC hingga 180oC, alterasi subpropilitik antara 150oC s.d. 220oC, dan alterasi propilitik antara 210oC s.d. 280oC. Secara umum, hasil geotermometer mineral ini menunjukkan data temperatur yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan data T berdasarkan pengukuran sumur.

Abstract

Before palm oil can be consumed, it must be processed through several processes, one of them is purification. To obtain an oil colour corresponds to a certain quality, a bleaching process is required using a bleaching agent or bleaching earth (BE). Material of palm oil purifier is made from clay. Clay is often found in Sukabumi Regency, West Java Province in Jampang Formation Cikarang Member and Lengkong Formation. The purpose of this research is to obtain a geochemical description and to determine the chemical composition of clay minerals in Jampang Formation Cikarang Member and Lengkong Formation and its effect on surface area properties and bleaching performance. This research used five clay samples, three samples from Jampang Formation Cikarang Member and two sampels from Lengkong Formation. To obtain geochemical characteristics composition, each sample was analyzed using XRD, SEM and XRF methods, meanwhile, to obtain information on the quality of palm oil clarifier, surface spesific area of the clay was measured using SAA and the color index of the palm oil that had been filtered by each clay sample was measured using the Lovibond Tintometer. The results showed that there was correlation between montmorillonite content to surface area value and bleaching performance of the clay. The larger the surface area of the clay, the higher its bleaching ability for palm oil. In addition, the surface area of the clay is also related to its montmorillonite content. Clay samples with high surface area, namely sample FJ-1 with a surface area of 111.5 m²/g and FJ-2 with a surface area of 106.4 m²/g, have higher montmorillonite content, specifically 67.2 and 70.7% compared to samples FJ-3, FL-1, and FL-2, which have montmorillonite contents of 17.4%, 47.4%, and 32.9%. Therefore, to obtain high-quality clay as a bleaching earth (BE) for the palm oil industry, clay with a high montmorillonite mineral content should be used.

Abstract

Sorowako and surrounding areas are geologically influenced by Sulawesi’s microcontinent movement, which has produced several geological phenomena. Morphometry is one of the parameter that can reveal geological condition of particular area. Morphometric analysis of water catchment area in Sorowako and surrounding areas using Bifurcation Ratio (Rb) and Drainage Density (Dd) can provide comprehensive information on level of deformation in Sorowako region. Analysis result of Bifurcation Ratio Index (Rb) on water catchment area reveals that Rb<3 value is dominant and equally spread in Sorowako region, it varies from 0.094 to 2.888. However in several place the value of Bifurcation Ratio (Rb) index is more than 5 (Rb>5) with varies from  5.142 to 10.250. Drainage Density (Dd) value ranges from 0.907 to 8.422 with an average value is 4.125 describes impact of erosion and tectonic on Sorowako region. Based on morphometric analysis of two parameters, Sorowako and surroundings area have been heavily impacted by tectonic activity on Sulawesi island. In western, eastern and northern regions on water catchment area, level of deformation tends to be higher compared to southern region. This can be seen on analysis result of water catchment area 43, water catchment area 196, and water catchment area 302 that have relatively larger number of stream orders, and also have Bifurcation Ratio’s value less than three (Rb<3). Information of tectonic deformation level on Sorowako region through morphometric analysis is important to further use as a basis for water catchment area management planning, so that it can identify areas prone to geological disasters. This fairly high level of tectonic deformation also believed to be a controlling factor for nickel grade contained in Sorowako and surrounding areas which allow supergene enrichment to occurs in rocks.
