Abstract

Sequence stratigraphy related to accommodation space as an area of potential sediment accumulation that is influenced by fluctuations in sea level and subsidence of the basin floor. Paleogeography, on the other hand, is the study of physical geographic features and their evolution throughout geological periods. The aim of this work is to shed light on the relationship between paleogeographic evolution and sequence stratigraphy, as well as coal accumulation in the South Sumatra Basin. The method used are geophysical logs and cores analysis to determine the system tracts, types of system tracts, and stratigraphic sequences, lithofacies and sedimentary facies analysis, paleogeographic analysis using modified single-factor and multi-factor and them mapped  using IDW as a geostatistical method. The results indicate that the study area comprises four system tracts, namely TST-1, HST-1, TST-2 and HST-2. In TST-1 and TST-2, the rate of peat formation is balanced with the rate of accommodation space formation, resulting in continuous and very thick coal accumulation. In HST-1 and HST-2, the rate of accommodation space formation exceeds the rate of peat formation, leading to continuous coal accumulation that is quite thick to very thick. Sequence 1 consists of lagoon and tidal/mouth/distal bar paleogeographic unit with  sand/shale ratio range 0.217 to 0.247. Sequence 2 consists of lagoon paleogeographic units with sand/shale ratio range 0.046 to 0.05.

Abstract

Sequence stratigraphy involves studying a series of rock layers deposited during a full change cycle in accommodation or sediment supply, bounded by subaerial unconformities and marine correlative conformities. This study aims to identify the stratigraphic sequence that controls the coal accumulation models and their influence on the coal geometry. The research methodology includes geological mapping, analysis of geophysical logs (gamma-ray and short density), and core log analysis. The data were analyzed, combined, interpreted, and simulated to create a model of coal accumulation and geometry. The M2 Member of the Muara Enim Formation comprises six lithofacies, as determined by analyzing four drill holes. The M2 Member of the Muara Enim Formation exhibits four depositional environments (crevasse splay, mire/swamp, mudflat, lagoon, and tidal/mouth/distal bar) and three facies associated with the fluvial delta–tidal plain facies (fluvial dominated upper delta plain, tide-dominated lower delta plain,  and marginal tidal plain and lagoon). This research identified four system tracts, namely TST-1, HST-1, TST-2, and HST-2. TST-1 and TST-2 show continuous coal deposition, inclined to steeply inclined, interspersed, and characterized by the presence of three layers of clay bands. Similarly, HST-1 and HST-2 exhibit continuous coal deposition with gentle to steep inclined and interspersed, ranging from moderately thick to very thick, and containing one to five layers of clay bands. The tectonic activity after deposition caused the deposited coal to deform. The findings of this study contributed to guiding the exploration of coal seams in the South Sumatra Basin and Muara Enim Formation, in particular.
