Abstract

Bintan Island is one of the areas traversed by the Southeast Asian granitoid belt which is known to have the potential for heavy mineral placer deposits. Due to the dwindling presence of heavy mineral placer deposits in land areas, it is necessary to look for the potential presence of heavy mineral placer deposits in water areas. Searching for placer heavy mineral deposits accomodation in these waters requires subsurface mapping.The method used in this subsurface mapping is a single channel seismic method with a total of 179 lines in the direction of northeast – southwest and west – east. The results of this seismic recording are then interpreted the boundaries of the seismic facies unit and distributed using the kriging method. Furthermore, the thickness calculates by using the assumption velocity 1600 m/s.Based on the facies unit boundaries that have been interpreted, the quaternary sediments that formed in the study area are divided into 2 types of units, namely: Unit 2 which is estimated to be fluvial – transitional sediment, and Unit 1 which is estimated to be transitional sediment – shallow sea. There is also a difference in thickness patterns in these two units, where unit 2 shows a pattern of sediment thickening that resembles a paleochannel trending northeast – southwest, while unit 1 is relatively uniform.From the results of this study, it can be said that the area that has potential for heavy mineral placer  deposits is in the west - center of the southern waters of Bintan Island. Where the potential for heavy mineral placer deposits should be in the paleochannel deposits that are part of Unit 2.

Abstract

The Lesser Sunda Islands extend from Bali to Timor and consist of two geologically distinct parts formed by a subduction system of oceanic crust along the Java-Timor Trench. The northern part which includes Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores, Wetar, Pantar and Alor, is volcanic in origin; whilst the southern part is non-volcanic, encompassing the islands of Sumba, Timor and Rote. The straits along the Lesser Sunda Islands are formed as a result of very complex geological processes and tectonics in this area. These straits are the most important cross-sections in the southern part of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF), functioning as outlets for the mass flows of seawater from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean through the Flores and the Savu Seas. In these straits, relatively high current speeds are occurred, not only caused by the ITF but also due to its geometry, the influence of tidal flow, and monsoonal currents.Site study and ocean current measurement were conducted by using an echosounder, a pair of Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP), and other supporting equipment. In general, the average of most ocean current speeds is less than 1.5 m/s with a duration flow of 8 -12 hours a day, and the maximum speed reaches up to 3 m/s. The tidal types in almost all the straits are mixed semidiurnal tides, in which two high waters and two low waters occur twice a day, with the high and low tides differ in height.The Lesser Sunda Straits were selected as the potential sites for ocean current power plant because their current speeds are relatively high and their characteristics are more predictable compared with other straits from other regions. Based on the results of bathymetry survey and current characteristics from the deployed ADCP at a fixed (stationary) location on the seabed, the best location for the current power turbines is at the depth of 15-30 m where the seabed gently sloping.

Abstract

Semarang City is characterized by an intercalating of loam-silt and clayey units. The behavior of the clay materials in terms of its expansivity changes in the volumetric parameter when it contacts the water. Some problems in the presence of tidal flooding appears when the seawater ingress to the shoreland that causes severe damage to infrastructures. This research attempts to reveal the influence of both seawater and freshwater on the expansivity behaviors of the clayey materials based on its mineral composition. Some tests are performed to observe the volumetric changes in the clay samples after being soaked in seawater and freshwater for twenty-four hours. The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) tests are conducted on some selected samples by using the bulk method to determine the mineral composition of the samples. The ANOVA test is also introduced in the analysis to distinguish whether the certain mineral types and its composition influencing the clay expansivity behaviors at a confidence level of about ninety-five percent and alpha (α) of about five percent. The result of this research has proven that the presence of montmorilonite minerals is the most influencing factor on the clayey expansivity behaviors when immersed in seawater and freshwater than kaolinite and illite minerals.

Abstract

Identifying and determining paleotsunami deposits can be a vital tool for establishing the periodicity of earthquakes and their associated tsunami events beyond historical records. However, their deposits can be difficult to establish and to date. In this study, we used the characteristics of the 2006 Pangandaran tsunami deposit as a reference to identify paleotsunami deposits in Karapyak Beach, Pangandaran area, West Java, Indonesia. Similar to the 2006 Pangandaran tsunami deposit, the Karapyak Beach paleotsunami deposit is characterized by light brown loose sand materials overlying a dark brown paleosol layer with erosional contact. A thin layer of tsunami deposit, although varies in thickness, is locally found just above erosional contact. The deposit reveals non-laminated coarse grain size in the lower part that gradually changes into medium to fine sand in the upper part. The base of this lower part is rich with broken mollusc shells and corals. The mid to top of the lower part may contain several still-intact mollusc shells and corals, rock fragments, and anthropogenic products (roof tiles). Those types of fragments are absent in the upper part of this thin tsunami deposit. Grain size analysis shows a mixture of fine and coarse grains in the lower part of the 2006 tsunami deposits, as well as in the suspected paleotsunami deposits, suggesting an uprush of high energy flow during the sedimentation. The fining upward sequence above the mixed grain layers reflects a waning flow in pre-backwash deposition. Foraminifera analysis also shows a mixture of shallow and deep marine foraminifera in both recent tsunami and paleotsunami deposits. Based on the characteristics of the 2006 tsunami deposits, there are at least four paleotsunami deposits identified in Karapyak Beach, Pangandaran area.

Abstract

The ocean is a source of mega-biodiversity that is supposed to perform optimally for current and future generations. The health of the ocean must be evaluated by measuring heavy metals in sediment because they can be accumulated and stored in long term. This metal can be released and absorbed by an organism, and affect the ecological risk and human health. The purpose of this article is to share viewpoints and those in a comparative study in terms of the metal database of both countries, the UK and Indonesia. The methodology used in this paper is critical review and analysis to compare a success story about compiling metal data into a national database in the United Kingdom (UK). Indonesia already has an open public access database issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. The further step is to strengthen collaboration between research institutes, universities, and government to assign a Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) to collect, analyze and report the data to a national depository. This database will be worthwhile to describe the pollution status in Indonesia and basic data for best practice decisions.

Abstract

Although numerous researchers have used trace fossils method to determine depositional environment, this method is still considered less robust. This is due to the finding of several similar trace fossils in two or more diverse environments, leading to irrelevancy in environmental interpretation. Therefore, we conducted this study in order to verify how powerful the trace fossil analysis is, by applying this method to interpret the depositional environment of the Cisaar Formation in the Cihanyir Tonggoh area, Sumedang Regency, West Java. We combined trace fossil study with foraminiferal assemblage analysis and vertical succession of related sedimentary units. For this study, 19 rock samples that have been collected from outcrop along 16 m traverse and 14 m measured stratigraphic sections were examined.The result of the study shows that shallow marine trace fossils which were developed at the edge of the shelf, were transported into the basin by gravitational mass flow and re-deposited as deep marine turbidites. Trace fossils were generally found in sandstones, while planktonic foraminifers were found in claystones-sandstones interbeds. This study concludes that to avoid inconsistency in the interpretation of the depositional environment, performing trace fossils method must be integrated with other methods, e.g. analysis of lithofacies and biofacies.

Abstract

Tarakan Basin area of Bunyu Island Waters is known to have hydrocarbon potential with complex geological structures. This study aims to determine reservoir characterization and to obtain prospect of hydrocarbon reservoir zones based on petrophysical and seismic stratigraphy analysis with reference to Well DDS-1 and 2D seismic Line S88. Petrophysical analysis results 3 zones that have potential as hydrocarbon reservoirs. Based on petrophysical quantitative analysis, Zone 1 has values of 52.25% for shale volume, 18.48% for effective porosity, 39.84% for water saturation and 13.03 mD for permeability. Zone 2 has values of 54.66% for shale volume, 10.27% for effective porosity, 40.9% for water saturation and 1.14 mD for permeability. Zone 3 has values of 49.22% for shale volume, 9.33% for effective porosity, 56.33% for water saturation and 0.22 mD for permeability. Out of these three reservoir zones in Well DDS- 1, Zone 1 has the prospect of hydrocarbons which is supported by the net pay value. Based on seismic stratigraphy interpretation, the reservoir zone is correlated to the Tabul Formation, which comprises calcareous clay and limestone.

Abstract

INTA/B Field is one of the most producing mature fields in Widuri Area, Asri Basin, Offshore SE Sumatera, Indonesia, therefore it is subjected to rejuvenation to enhance hydrocarbon production. INTA/B Field is distinguished from other fields from its featured anticlinal structures that have the northeast-southwest trending. This structure is heavily faulted mainly in the up-thrown south side of a major normal fault. Two structural configurations with various oil-water contact have successfully been identified within the field. The most of oil reserves are preserved in the western lobe in which Intan-1 sands. One of the most important reservoirs in this field is Talangakar (TAF) sand deposited as a meandering river system that streamed from the northwest to the southeast within the basin. Two main reservoirs, Gita-34A and Gita-34B are correlated throughout the field and interpreted as Miocene fluvio-channel sands. These two channels are thickened moderately from southwest to northeast which has descriptions as follows: fine- to-coarse grains, unconsolidated to friable, and low cementing materials.INTA/B Field has been produced for 25 years and currently undergoing a watered-out phase. Therefore, an integrated study is subjected to overcome this issue for mature field rejuvenation. The integrated study ranged from geology (e.g., depositional environment and facies analysis), geophysics (e.g., revisiting and reprocessing of seismic attributes), petrophysical calculation, and reservoir engineering (e.g., water conformance plot and volumetric calculation).This integrated study has successfully rejuvenated a mature field resulting and added a significant number in oil production with an average of 300 BPOD/well. The extended project is estimated to have a similar result to the forward pilot.

Abstract

The study of the statistical analysis parameters of grain size in the waters of Sungai Raya was carried out in order to understand the characteristic of the sediment in the river and coastal areas. The grain size by sieving method, and analyze the statistical parameters including the average grain size, sorting, skewness, and kurtosis. Sediment samples were acquired from six stations with each station consisting of three sampling points representing river west bank, river midstream, river east bank, and the coastal area consisting of five stations. The results of the sediment analyses showed that the average grain size in the river ranges from 1.23 to 2.77 mm, and on the beach area is between 1,52 - 2,59 mm, classified as fine sand, medium sand, very fine sand, and coarse sand with predominant fine sand in all stations. The results of the statistical parameter analysis of the grain size of the bottom sediment in the waters of Sungai Raya exhibit the average diameter value ranging from 1.23 to 2.77 mm, classified as  fine sand to medium sand. This value indicates that the type of sediment in this location is dominated by silt with grain sizes ranging from < 0.05 - 0.002 mm. The sorting value ranges from 0.14 to 1.59 mm, categorized into moderately sorted, moderately well-sorted, very well sorted, and poorly sorted classes. The average value of skewness is 2.17 with the classification of the bed load being very fine and kurtosis value ranges from 0.72 to 1.67 indicates the classification in these waters is platycuric, mesokurtic, leptokurtic, and very leptokurtic. These finding concluded that in the study area there is a variation in the angularity of the sediment grains due to the different hydrodynamic processes

Abstract

Deep Sea sediment core PC-1 from the South Andaman Sea (7 ̊19.85' N; 94 ̊ 39.26' E; in East Andaman Basin) below the water depth of 3144 m contain discrete ash layers at various depths. According to morphological study, these ash layers contain glass shards of different varieties i.e. Type-I, Type-II, Type-III, Type-IV and Type-V and it is comparable to glass shards of Toba volcanic reported from other parts of the world. This observation is also supported on the basis of relative biostratigraphic datum observed in the core PC-1. The Layer-A (56 cm thick) at 210 cm bsf is just above the biostratigraphic datum of ca. 0.12 Ma, correspond to Youngest Toba Tuff (YTT), followed by Layer-C belongs to Middle Toba Tuff (MTT) and Layer-D inferred as Oldest Toba Tuff (OTT). This interpretation is further supported by the geochemical data obtained from the EDX analysis, which suggest high silica and alkali contents of rhyolitic composition. Hence, geochemical composition, morphology and biostratigraphic data of these discrete tephra layers show identical characteristics to the products of Toba eruptions, including YTT, MTT and OTT.
