Abstract

Cable power installation along the route with bedforms-sediment structures sometimes potentially to have problems in the future or near future. In order to mitigate the cable from exposure because of currents, it is important to know a detailed understanding of the seabed and its mobility. Seabed characteristics, either textures or sediment structures, could be interpreted from acoustic characters, one of which is based on sidescan sonar images. An automatic interpretation to classify seabed characteristics can be done by using an image processing software. Image processing has been done on sidescan sonar images along power cable route between Dumai and Rupat Island. The image processing was using simple textures and Grey-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GCLM) textures. Manual interpretation of sidescan sonar images classifies the acoustic characters into six; (1) fine sand waves with ripple marks, wave length 2.5-4 meters, (2) fine sands, (3) fine sand waves with ripple marks, wave length 5-9 meters, (4) fine sand with ripple-mega ripples, (5) coarse sands with ripple-trawl marks, and (6) very fine sands. The results of automatic classification show that image processing with simple textures is unable to identify the textures and structures of sediments properly, but by combining simple texture classification and GCLM types of sediment textures and sediment structures are better identified. This classification results are in agreement with the results of manual interpretation of sidescan sonar images.

Abstract

Southeast Sumatra is a prolific oil and gas block located offshore in the Java Sea, 90 km north of Jakarta Bay. This area covers two major basins, namely Sunda Basin and Asri Basin. The initial development of the area focused on faulted and high closures and high-resistivity reservoirs. Further analysis shows that there are special low-resistivity reservoirs in Widuri Area, especially in the Aryani field. This paper will discuss the low resistivity pay zone reservoirs and fluid containment of the intervals. The paper will also include further assesment this undeveloped interval to increase oil production, considering the upside potential of the reservoirs using current geological, geophysical, and reservoir engineering approaches. Additionally, it will describe the operational challenges faced during the production period. The low-resistivity pay zone, a hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir in the Aryani field of the Widuri area, was identified using gas readings in the daily drilling reports, complemented with mud logging data. The Basal Sand interval, which drapes above the basement, was the site of the first producing well of Basal Sand, Aryani AC-X, preceded by a hydraulic fracturing job. Lambda-mu-rho inversion was implemented to delineate this reservoir. To recognize the potency in those wells, data reconfirmation was conducted between the elan summary, sidewall core, and cutting data. Aryani AC-X has successfully drained oil using a submersible pump, with an initial production of 408 bopd and cumulative production of 240 MBO.

Abstract

The Sunda Asri Basin is dominated by normal faults and has little compressional structure. This basin consists of several depocenters with a thickness of up to 6000 m. Among the geophysical methods, gravity analysis has proven to be effective in determining the bedrock configuration and identifying sedimentary basins. This study aims to analyze sedimentary sub-basin patterns, basement height structures, faults, and bedrock configuration using trend surface analysis of polynomial filters. The analysis of polynomial filter show that a 10th-order anomaly yields optimal results. The high correlation value of 0.990925 provides the suitability of a 10th-order anomaly for qualitative interpretation. Spectral analysis results indicate an average bedrock depth of about 2.75 km within the Sunda Asri Basin. Furthermore, this analysis reveals the presence of 14 sedimentary sub-basin patterns in this area. The gravity modeling results indicate that the top layer has a density value of 2.37 g/cc, which interpreted as Pleistocene Tertiary sediment. The second layer consists of Tertiary-Miocene sediment with a density value of 2.28 g/cc, while the third layer comprises of Pre-Tertiary sedimentary rock at a density of 2.02 g /cc. The bottom layer of the model corresponds to metamorphic bedrock with a density 2.7 g/cc. SVD (Second Vertical Derivative) analysis successfully identified the presence of normal and thrust fault structures

Abstract

The acoustic impedance inversion seismic method, carried out at the "EL" well in East Java,provides a description of the physical properties of subsurface rocks. This method involves identifying rocklayers, lithology types, porosity values, the presence of hydrocarbons, and fluids in the target zone usingboth well data and integrated seismic data. The data processing included the cross-plotting of acousticimpedance (AI) with gamma ray logs, porosity logs, and resistivity logs. We integrated seismic and welldata, picked horizons, and created AI inversion models. The based model inversion technique was used tocompare the synthetic model with the seismic data, aiming to obtain an AI value that closely represents theactual model. AI seismic inversion effectively separates lithological boundaries vertically and laterally,based on the selected picking horizon and created model. To enhance understanding of the lithology andhydrocarbon prospect zone in the study area, a cross-plot analysis was used to correlate the seismic inversionmodel. The results reveal that the study area represents a hydrocarbon prospect zone, with reservoir rocksconsist of coral and foram at a depth range of 2320 - 2430 ft.

Abstract

Ternate Island is a volcanic island located in the Maluku Sea. Tsunami ever hit Ternate before 1900 or occurred before the age of the people living in this island. The paleotsunami suspect have been found in the western coast of Ternate Island. The outcrop has 50 m length and 1 m width, was discovered beneath the Gamalama eruption product which occurred in 1907. The paleotsunami candidate consists of at least five layers originating from different tsunami events. The granulometric analysis was carried out for each layer. The results obtained were that paleotsunami sediments had poorly sorted which indicated that the grain sizes were mixed, this was due to the energy of tsunami wave varied in time when transporting and depositing the sediments. Skewness varies from very fine to very coarse, indicating a change in the energy of the tsunami wave that occurs from very high when rising inland to decreasing as it returns to sea. Kurtosis varies from leptokurtic, platykurtic, and mesokurtic. Variations in mean, sorting, skewness and kurtosis values indicate a change in tsunami wave energy which causes a change in grain size. The granulometric analysis shows that the deposition of the youngest paleotsunami deposits candidate was initiated by a very strong current with the greatest energy, thus depositing very coarse sand to gravel, followed by a gradual decrease in energy and the tsunami wave process began to reverse towards the sea, then receded with the lowest energy and deposited finer grains. The sediment sources come from two different places, this shows that the sources come from the sea and the coast around the deposited paleotsunami candidates.

Abstract

The Indonesian Maritime Continent (IMC) is the largest archipelago that vulnerable to climate change especially sea level rise. Some coastal areas frequently experience coastal flooding affecting the activities and infrastructures. Thus, an accurate tide prediction in this region plays a pivotal role in providing the early warning, mitigation, and adaptation to frequent coastal flooding. BMKG, through the Center for Marine Meteorology has done undertaken efforts to provide an accurate tidal prediction information by developing the tidal information system call the Indonesian Tidal Information System (INATIS). Tidal harmonic analysis (THA) using the least-square method was applied to sea level data from 49 Marine Automatic Weather System (MAWS) stations collected between 2020-2021 to generate tidal predictions for the period of 2022-2023. Accuracy was assessed based on Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). MAWS stations with prediction accuracy above 80% visualized on publicly accessible online platform of the BMKG website using the open-source Looker Studio. Verification of the tidal predictions showed an average prediction accuracy of 93.21% with a MAE of 0.11 m. The high accuracy of INATIS demonstrates its potential as a reference for coastal flood early warning systems.

Abstract

The hydrodynamics of the Musi estuary ecosystem is influenced by the flow of water discharge from the river, tidal circulation within the estuary, and complex bathymetry. Numerical modeling is one of the best ways to explain the characteristics and processes occurring in the estuary. However, the obtained model requires validation to ensure its accuracy despite the complexity added by variability in tidal and bathymetric conditions, making the validation process more challenging. This difficulty can be overcome by using high-resolution data, which provides a refined understanding of the river-to-sea estuary flow and its variability. The validation process involves the use of conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) instruments and mooring tidal stations. The validated model is considered capable of accurately simulating tidal propagation as it represents the temperature-salinity-density properties within the estuarine environment. The development of this model demonstrates the effective implementation of these parameters within the Musi estuary ecosystem domain. The 3D model simulation is used to consider the vertical discretization in the river-estuary-sea channel, which enhances the representation of temperature-salinity-density in the water column. The obtained results suggest that the 3D-MIKE modeling is well-suited for operational purposes, including the prediction of hydrodynamics and the management of estuarine areas, specifically in the Musi estuary ecosystem.

Abstract

PAH pollutants from anthropogenic activities were released into Indramayu Coast and could potentially have negative effects on the environment. This study aimed to determine the distribution, source, and ecological risks of PAHs in the area. Seawater and sediment samples were collected and stored in glass bottles at 4 °C and then further processed in the laboratory. The samples were extracted with dichloromethane and n-hexane and then fractionated using a silica gel column, and finally injected into a Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GCMS). The distribution of PAH compounds was detected in all sampling stations in varying amounts. PAH with low molecular weight (two to three rings) was predominant in seawater samples, while high molecular weight (four rings) was predominant in sediments. In addition, by using the molecular diagnostic ratio, the PAH source in Indramayu Coast was detected to be pyrogenic and petrogenic processes that come from anthropogenic activities. Exposure to PAH concentrations in this study posed a lower risk to sediment-dwelling organisms. However, further awareness and periodic monitoring are required to detect carcinogenic PAHs.

Abstract

The Middle Baong Sand Formation has long been ascribed to the Malay Peninsula. However, this contradicts the results of chronostratigraphic correlation and rare earth element (REE) analysis, which indicate another source from the south. This research was conducted in North Sumatra, especially in Pertamina's onshore and offshore work areas. The comparison area is located in Kutacane-Karo and the Malay Peninsula. The objective of the study is to understand the provenance of the Middle Baong Sand Formation in North Sumatra. Data from four wells and 32 outcrops are used to evaluate the provenance and distribution of Middle Baong Sand in the study area. Besides that, secondary data from three outcrops are also used to support the analysis. The methods used in this study are chronostratigraphic correlation and REE analysis. The results showed that the provenance of the Middle Baong Sand onshore is estimated to originate from southwest Sumatra, contrary to general assumptions. Validation was carried out by comparing Malay Peninsula data with Kutacane research data and wells using REE analysis. The analysis results showed that the Middle Baong Sand Formation in the onshore area has a different provenance from the Middle Baong Sand Formation in the offshore area, which contradicts other research conducted so far. Based on this study, it is concluded that the paleogeography of the North Sumatra basin undergoes deepening symmetrically in the central basin since 10.46 million years ago (Mya).

Abstract

Ocean thermal energy is a promising marine renewable energy resource that can be developed as a clean energy alternative for Indonesia, which is in the equatorial or tropical region. This study assesses the potential of ocean thermal energy as a renewable energy source in the Indonesian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) by estimating the monthly, seasonal, and intra-seasonal variability of ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) resources. The Indonesian EEZ spans from 6°N to 11°S and 95°E to 139°E, covering an area of 3,495,698.72 km². Using temperature data from simulations of the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM), the study evaluates the potential of OTEC resources over a 50-year period (from January 1964 to December 2013) with a spatial resolution of 0.125°. Estimation of OTEC potential power resources was based on temperature differences at depths of 20 m and 1000 m, following the hybrid cycle working principle.The results of the estimations indicate that the area has a monthly average potential power of 289.73 GW. The estimation also reveals seasonal and intra-seasonal variability in this potential energy, with fluctuations ranging from 280.09 GW in August to 295.65 GW in December, influenced by phenomena such as ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) and IOD (Indian Ocean Dipole). In the Indonesian EEZ, the average potential thermal power decreases to 288.23 GW during an El Niño event and increases to 291.72 GW during a La Niña event. The IOD phenomenon has a similar effect, with potential decreasing to 281.82 GW during a positive IOD event and rising to 292.64 GW during a negative IOD event.
