Abstract

In the last few years it has occurred the decreasing of Indonesia’s oil production in national scale in 10% per year. At the same time the situation of the national gas showing the increasing of the production and the backup. The production rate can be maintained and the backup even can show the growth from year to year. The analysis of the history of the production and the backup, exploration activity, and the comparison between the discovery of the oil and gas in the recent years underlying that the oil can be the sources of energy and the income for the state. Even will facing some challenge in oil exploitation in the term of the application of technology, infrastructure, law enforcement, social unrest, strict regulation, and incentives. That challenge must be overcome if the gas production, and also oil, to achieve the sustainable.

Abstract

To achieve the energy transition towards more environmentally friendly energy, various approaches must be taken, one of which is CO2 source-to-sink matching. A basin evaluation study has been carried out through classifying, weighting, and scoring in the geographic information system (GIS) for screening and ranking basins for CO2 storage on the island of Kalimantan, Indonesia. The region covers 13 sedimentary basins that have the potential to serve as CO2 sinks. As many as 21 parameters have been analyzed through classification and weighting using a pairwise comparison matrix method to produce scores and ranks for each basin. The results show that the Kutai, Tarakan, and Barito basins are the top three basins for CO2 storage potential. Singkawang, Nangapinoh, Pangkalanbun Utara, and Embaluh Selatan basins have been found to have the lowest sink potential.

Abstract

Heavy oil is formed through biodegradation process of hydrocarbons, as well as water washing, in which light hydrocarbon fraction disappears and leaves the heavy fraction. Heavy oil is essentially an asphaltic, dense (low API gravity), and viscous that is chemically characterized by its high content of asphaltenes in the oil. Although variously defi ned, 25o API is set the upper limit for heavy oil. Heavy oil in the Central Sumatra Basin is evidently formed as a result of biodegradation and water washing (a hydrodynamic process within oil reservoir) mechanisms. These processes occur as result of tectonic uplift of the reservoir after it has been fi lled with hydrocarbons. Heavy oil reservoir depths in the Central Sumatra Basin are generally shallower than 1,000 feet (300-400 meters), at which surface water may may be associated with the reservoir hence enabling the heavy oil transformation. A combined geology, remote sensing/geographic information system ( GIS), geophysics, stratigraphy, and wellbased analyses is utilized to serve the study. It has been observed that within the northern part of the basin, heavy oil is mainly found in fi elds located within uphill fault blocks such as the up-thrown part of the Sebanga thrust fault with its Duri, Sebanga North, Kulin, Rantau Bais, Batang, Akar, and Genting fi elds. In the western part of the basin there are the Kumis, Kotalama and Pendalian heavy oil fi elds associated with Dalu-Dalu thrust fault and Gadang Island uplift. In total 51 fi elds/structures containing or suspected to contain heavy oil are associated with uplifted geological positions, hence showing the strong relations between tectonic evolutions and present day presence of heavy oil within the basin.

Abstract

Central Sumatra Basin is one of the most prolifi c hydrocarbon basins in Indonesia and has proved itself as being the largest contributor to Indonesia’s national crude oil production. Heavy oil fi elds in the basin, such Duri fi eld as the largest one, plays a very important role in making up the basin’s whole oil production output. In general, the Central Sumatra Basin is also acknowledged for its heavy oil potential. Accordingly, a study under the auspices of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) of the Republic of Indonesia is carried out to re-visit the potential. The study establishes and implements an integrated approach formed by a combined macro and micro analyses. In the macro analysis, a combined evaluations of regional geology, geophysics, geochemistry, remote sensing/geographic information system ( GIS), regional geothermal study, and fi eld survey/ microbiology is performed to identify geological positions of the heavy oil potential. In the micro analysis, on the other hand, qualitative and quantitative well-log analyses supported by well-test and laboratory measurement data on the identifi ed geological positions are carried out with an aim of identifying heavy oil bearing reservoirs/traps under three categories of certainty. The main result of the study is identifi cation of 51 fi elds/structures - producing and non-producing – that bears heavy oil within the three categories. Findings of the study can certainly be used as a prerequisite for more intensive and expansive studies to meet the need for a more solid conclusion regarding the heavy oil potential of the Central Sumatra Basin.

Abstract

Rock compressibility is an important formation rock properties. It infl uences various processesin reservoir and rock formations that encompass from sources of reservoir driving energy, changes inother reservoir properties, to land subsidence. Various studies have been performed and published, butno comprehensive studies have ever been performed on Indonesian reservoir rocks. This article presentsresults of such studies on Indonesian limestones, reservoir rocks that have contributed much to Indonesia’snational oil and gas production for decades. The study was carried out in order to study the characteristics oflimestone in its relation to rock porosity. A set of 84 limestone samples taken from fi ve productive formationsin Indonesia is used in the study. Some existing and widely known mathematical correlations/models are alsoused to assist the study. Some of the results show that the existing models are not always valid for some ofthe rocks, and therefore a new model is proposed for medium-hard and vuggy limestones. The results alsoshow that limestone characteristics are not related to rock types and place of origin, but instead to rockhardness and degree of vuggy pore presence.

Abstract

Porosity is a petrophysical property that always draws attention due to its central role in determiningstorage capacity of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Accuracy for predicting porosity in reservoir affects much ofmany petroleum production related activities. Accordingly, various attempts have been devoted to study andmodel rock porosity including its relation with depth. In this study porosity data from as many as 4654 coresamples (1773 full-diameter core plugs and 2881 sidewall core samples) is used. The core samples were takenfrom 549 wells in 222 fi elds/structures located in eight producing sedimentary basins in western Indonesia.Main results of the study are facts that existing porosity-depth models derived from data obtained from otherregions are not usable for Indonesian cases, and therefore porosity-depth models are established for theeight sedimentary basins. It is hoped that these models can contribute signifi cantly to the understanding ofrock porosity trends with depth in western Indonesia.

Abstract

Porosity cut-off is one of the most important parameter normally used to differentiatebetween reservoir and non-reservoir rocks. Quantity of the parameter certainly dictatesreservoir volumes, hence directly influences economics and commerciality of a given oil/gas field. An ever critical issue in relation to this parameter is whether the use of porositycut-off has to be established through a single or multiple values especially for heterogeneousformation rocks. This certainly may lead to different reservoir sizes along with thetechnical and economical consequences. The study presented in this article is meant to furtherinvestigate this question. The thrust of this study lies on the application of a newlyproposed method for determining porosity cut-off. It is put that with this new and reliablemethod – compared to the traditionally used method – a more conclusive answer can beachieved. For the purpose, a heterogeneous limestone reservoir in West Java – Indonesiais used. Evaluation, analysis, and application of the new method on data from the field’seight wells have shown that multiple porosity cut-off values are needed for better definitionsof reservoirs. Application of a single value for these reservoirs can still be regardedas unrepresentative. The fact underlines that – despite the new approach’s reliability –heterogeneity governs more over the use of either single or multiple cut-off values ratherthan limitations of method. The study also proves that the new method for determiningporosity cut-off works well for highly heterogeneous reservoir rocks.

Abstract

Ductile components including rock fragments, clay, and matrix material are often consideredas the most important factors that control quality of shaly sandstones, which are usually characterized by low porosity and permeability. In presence of ductile components, the degree of quality reduction is affected mainly by distribution, occurences, and amounts of the ductile components. Therefore, the presence of ductile components affects rock petrophysics, and consequently has effect on fluid movements in reservoir during production. This paper presents results of the study on plug samples taken from five wells from various fields in Cooper Basin (Tirrawarra Sand), South Australia. The samples were studied petrographically using x-ray diffraction, optical petrography, and scanning electrone microscope. The results were integrated with routine and special core analysis data. The overall results show that the distribution and the amount of ductile components have significantly reduced porosity, hence the quality of the reservoir. However, the effect is different for different types of porosity, and this certainly is valuable addition to our understanding over permeability behavior of shaly sandstones.

Abstract

Water saturation is one of the most important governing factors in hydrocarbon in place and reserves estimation. Error in the estimation of water saturation may signifi cantly impose bias in the estimation of both quantities. In spite of there are various factors affecting potential error in water saturation estimation, choice in water saturation model(s) appears to play an important factor. This study involves eight water saturation models that are widely used in log analysis up until today. Using the same input data, the eight models have proved themseleves to have produced different water saturation estimates. Using a moderate level of water saturation error of 20% evaluation may result in up to 50% error in the reserves estimates. Observing the wide disparities in the estimated water saturation values yielded by the models used in this study, errors higher than 50% may take place. This evidence should strengthen our awareness over the potential error and careful applications of model(s) – and validation of results – that have to be observed.

Abstract

This paper presents the challenges in oil and gas development in Indonesia, especially in technical aspects. In upstream, this country faces the fact that the production as well as the proven reserves of oil is continuing to decline. The challenges are therefore on how to find new resources, how to develop frontier area and how to produce more oil from the remaining oil in place in the existing fields. The oil deposit and traps are small, but also complexes. Very limited primary data makes it difficult to have a discovery. More accurate, intensive and comprehensive exploration data are therefore needed which, in turn, will need the use of the most sophisticated exploration technology. On the other hand it isrecommend that Government of Indonesia should generate primary exploration data prior to oil and gas prospecting. Regarding production, there is still hope to maintain the production level by exploiting further the remaining oil in place, the effort of which will need the use of advanced technology. The future of EOR application in Indonesia is bright and steps have been taken towards the objective. However, some important technical matters should still be overcome. In petroleum refining Indonesia faces increasing demand, the need of lighter products, more stringent fuels specifications, demand increase of petrochemical products, old and low complexity existing refineries and not sufficient margin for developing new refinery. The development of new refineries seems a must from the view of energy security. However, low margin should be overcome by appropriate strategy such as integration with petrochemical and employing more efficient technology. Some challenges that need to be considered in gas development in Indonesia include increasing gas demand,more gas reserve offshore, scattered gas consumers, limited infrastructure, not optimal domestic utilization and weak willingness to pay. Several technological approaches should be done to overcome those challenges.
