Abstract

The discovery of gas within the carbonate debris reservoir of the late Oligocene Berai formation near the Paternoster Platform, South Makassar Basin, is a new exploration play in Indonesia. The carbonate was deposited in a deep-water environment and is a good example of a less well known carbonate play type. The carbonate debris reservoir in this area consists of re-deposited carbonate, originally located on a large carbonate platform that has been eroded, abraded and transported to the deep-water sub-basin. The limestone clasts range from pebble-size to boulders within a matrix of micrite and fine abraded bioclasts. This carbonate debris can be divided into clast-supported facies and matrix-supported facies. The matrix-supported facies have much better porosity and permeability than the clast-supported facies. Porosity in both the transported clasts and the matrix is generally mouldic and vuggy, resulting mostly from dissolution of foraminifera and other bioclastics after transportation. In the matrix intercrystal porosity has developed. The porosity and permeability development of this deep-water carbonate debris was controlled by a deep-burial diagenetic process contributed by the bathyal shales de-watering from the Lower Berai shales beneath the carbonate reservoir and the Lower Warukin shales above the carbonate reservoir during the burial process.

Abstract

The East Java Basin, a prolific back-arc basin in Indonesia, hosts significant hydrocarbon accumulations within Cenozoic carbonate reservoirs. This study explores the link between carbonate age, fossil assemblages, and reservoir characteristics. The oldest reservoir, the Ngimbang Formation, dominated by large foraminifera and interbedded shale, exhibits limited vertical growth potential. Conversely, the Oligo-Miocene Kujung Formation, rich in coral reefs, boasts the basin's highest hydrocarbon content. Pliocene Globigerina sands offer excellent reservoir quality due to both inter- and intra-granular porosity, but their distribution is restricted. This work analyzes the variations in reservoir properties (porosity and permeability) influenced by these distinct fossil assemblages across the formations. Additionally, comparisons of formation geometries and their impact on hydrocarbon trapping are addressed. By understanding these factors, the paper explores the potential for identifying hidden reservoirs within the basin for future exploration.
