Abstract

This study analyzes the porosity characteristics of Pliocene limestone from the Mundu Formation in the Gunung Pegat area, Lamongan, East Java, which lies within the Rembang Zone and is considered a potential carbonate reservoir. The research involved geological field mapping, measurement of four stratigraphic profiles, and collection of thirteen rock samples. Laboratory methods included petrographic analysis to classify lithofacies, core analysis to determine porosity, calcimetry for carbonate content, and microfossil analysis for age and depositional environment. Petrographic results show dominant packstone and wackestone lithologies, with pore types consisting of interparticle, moldic, and vuggy pores formed through bioclast dissolution and diagenesis. Core analysis reveals porosity values ranging from 1.5% to 22.1%, averaging 13.6%. High-porosity zones (>20%) occur in the western and northwestern parts, associated with bioclast-rich facies and meteoric water dissolution, whereas low values (<10%) are concentrated in the southeastern part due to compaction and recrystallization. These findings indicate that lithofacies variation and diagenetic processes significantly control reservoir quality. Overall, the Mundu Formation demonstrates good potential as a carbonate reservoir, particularly within packstone facies with well-developed secondary porosity, providing a useful basis for hydrocarbon and groundwater exploration in the northern East Java Basin.

Abstract

Mud hydraulics on a 12-1/4" section needs to be planned properly. Mud hydraulics design on a 12-1/4" section includes determining mud density, flow type, pressure loss, pump specifications, bit hydraulics and cutting lifting design. The purpose of bit hydraulics design is to determine the optimum flow rate. Mud hydraulics optimization is carried out using methods the Bit Hydraulic Horse Power (BHHP), Bit Hydraulic Impact (BHI) and Jet Velocity (JV) methods, where the analysis is in the form of graphs. The graph is analyzed by using a trial and error method to obtain the recommended flow rate so as to provide good cutting lifting. where the expected recommendation analysis are Cutting Transport Ratio (Ft) > 90%, Cutting Concentration (Ca) < 5%, and Carrying Capacity Index (CCI) > 1. The analysis results from the graph show that for the hole 12-1/4", it is recommended to use an optimum flow rate of 626.6 gpm with minimum value of Ft is 90.01%, Ca is 0.87% and CCI is 1.95. These values are stated to be good by using 15-15-16 nozzle bit combination. The Flowrate value can be increased up to 785 gpm by using 18-18-20 nozzle bit combination.. Keywords: Hydraulic Mud Planning, Optimum Flow Rate, Cuttings Removal.
