Abstract

Carbonate reservoir of Kais Formation in Salawati Basin, West Papua, is the most famous oil and gas reservoir in the eastern part of Indonesian Archipelago since 1970’s. Nowadays, new prospects in this area are more challenging and most relevant near the infrastructure of previous oil and gas fields. In this study, a relatively new seismic dataset was investigated to figure out new prospects in carbonate reservoir rocks in the area of interest. In this preliminary study, where seismic data are not supported by well data, direct hydrocarbon indicator (DHI), seismic attribute, and spectral decomposition (CWT: continuous wavelet transform) allow the authors to characterize the reservoir geometry and to predict pore fluids within the reservoir rocks. The reservoir geometry of carbonate reef of Kais Formation (C1) was identified by seismic reflectors with high amplitude contrast at the top C1. The hydrocarbon indicator was predicted by DHI where dim spots, flat spots, and polarity reversals are indicative of hydrocarbon prospects. From the attribute analysis, the attribute instantaneous amplitude detected the top carbonate C1, whereas pore fluids were predicted from high sweetness attribute. In addition, spectral decomposition CWT method confirms the top C1, identified as saturated rock by the frequency of 10 Hz, 20 Hz, and 30 Hz. Based on a seismic study in the researched area, the target zone is expected to be a very promising hydrocarbon reservoir, specifically a carbonate reservoir. As a result, the preferred well-test location is in a region with access to the Kais Formation limestone reef layer. This study can assist in reservoir characterization, especially in areas with limited well control.

Abstract

The new capital city of Indonesia, Nusantara, in East Kalimantan, is undergoing enormous infrastructural development in Indonesia. Understanding the condition of the soil, sediment, and hardrock layers at this location is critical for geotechnical working principles. In this study, the first arrival P-wave tomography method was used to determine the distribution of P-wave velocity and geotechnical parameters (e.g. porosity, density, void ratio) to better understand the condition of the rock layers at this location. This study involved the use of seismic refraction tomography data consisting of forty-eight channels with a distance between geophones of 1 m, and a source in the form of a sledgehammer weighing 3 kg with a separation distance of 3 m. The natural frequency of the geophones used was 4.5 Hz with a recording time of 1.0 sec. Results of this investigation reveal a thinning hardrock layer from the south to the north, with a thickness ranging from 7 to 16 m correlated to consolidated alluvium. Moreover, the geotechnical parameter of sediment layers, top soil (clayey soil) and unconsolidated alluvium, has a density value range from 1.6 to 1.8 g/cm³, porosity 0.31 to 0.38, and void ratio 0.44 to 0.59. These findings show that the soil layer in the south to the middle of line profile of the studied area has low to medium compaction, requiring soil hardening activities (mechanical compaction) for infrastructure construction. Finally, the findings of this study are expected to help with infrastructure development in the IKN by utilizing geophysical technique.
