BERITA SEDIMENTOLOGI aims to disseminate knowledge on the field of sedimentary geology to its readers. The journal welcomes contributions in the form of original research articles, review articles, short communications and discussions and replies. Occasionally, Berita Sedimentologi also includes field trip reports and book reviews, which are published only after going through peer-review processes. The main geographical areas of interest are Indonesia and SE Asia, however contribution from the rest of the world is also welcome. Berita Sedimentologi covers broad topics within sedimentary geology, particularly on depositional processes and their records in the rocks, petrology, sedimentology and stratigraphy of both siliciclastic and carbonate rocks; sequence stratigraphy, paleontology, biostratigraphy and sedimentary geochemistry. The journal also accepts articles on interdisciplinary research in sedimentary basin analysis, including large-scale basin geodynamics processes, mechanism of sedimentary basin formation, earth surface processes, sediment routing systems, petroleum geoscience and applied sedimentary geology analysis for mining and engineering geology.

Abstract

The Banda Terrane successions of Timor Island and correlative units in Sumba are widely considered allochthonous with respect to the Australian continental margin successions that form the main part of the Banda arc-continent collision complex. A new interpretation is proposed for the Banda Terrane, which suggests that these units originated on the outermost (northern) edge of the Australian continent. Volcanic successions in the Banda Terrane, which date to the Cretaceous and Paleogene (Aptian/Albian to Eocene), are interpreted as originating in a backarc/marginal basin setting behind a northward-facing arc that rifted away from the NW margin of Australia through this period. The Banda terrane successions are interpreted as representing the southern, continent-attached portion of the marginal basin, and occupied a position on the distal edge of Australia up to the onset of Banda arc-continent collision in the Miocene.Supporting evidence for an Australian margin origin of the Banda Terrane includes very similar age ranges for zircons dated to the Cretaceous in Sumba and Timor (Banda Terrane) and in sandstones of the Ungar Formation in Tanimbar, the latter forming an element of the Australian margin succession. In Timor there is also previously reported evidence for continental margin rifting during the Late Cretaceous, while contemporaneous Late Cretaceous-Paleogene volcanism is also recognised in the Bird’s Head-Misool region of eastern Indonesia, which forms part of the Australian continental margin. In addition, a number of stratigraphic links between the Banda Terrane and the Australian continental margin successions in Timor are summarised in this study.The effects of the Cretaceous-Paleogene rifting event are also apparent in subsidence curves derived from petroleum exploration wells drilled on the northern ‘passive’ continental margin of Australia from SW of Timor to the Bird’s Head-Misool region of eastern Indonesia. Inferred rift-related subsidence commenced in the Aptian-Albian on the Australian palaeo-margin immediately east of Timor and developed sporadically but in regionally consistent groupings throughout the Late Cretaceous and Paleogene.

Abstract

Matoa Field in the Salawati Basin, Papua, Indonesia was discovered in 1991. Oil production commenced in 1993, yielding a cumulative production of more than 21 MMBO by 2015. In the latest POD that was approved in 1999 and was valid until 2019, it was recommended to drill six additional wells within three integrated structures. By 2018, a static model was built, incorporating present-day island analogues and the latest interpretation from reprocessed 3D seismic data, paleontological data, and petrographic analyses. The latest static model renews the understanding on reservoir characteristics (geometry and microfacies) for the purpose of further field development.  This paper discusses field analogues in correlation with an interplay of carbonate depositional environment with diagenetic evolution in the Matoa Field. Three candidates for possible present-day analogues of Matoa Field were screened i.e., Java Sea’s Thousand Islands, Kapoposang Islands of Spermonde Archipelago, and the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. The objective was to improve understanding of the conceptual geological model in the regional sense. Based on palaeogeomorphology (morpho-arrangements, shelf geometry and sedimentary architecture), the present-day Central Reef Zone of Wet Tropic at the Great Barrier Reef is fit to be utilized as an analogue to the continental, Miocene Salawati carbonate complex.  Well-tied 3D seismic data, from which several multiple attributes were analysed, have been reprocessed twice. Attributes such as RMS Amplitude, realized RMS Amplitude, Sweetness and Relative Acoustic Impedance were analysed and extracted to understand the diagenetic features of Matoa Carbonate reservoir. The result shows that RMS Amplitude, in combination with petrographic – paleontological data, exhibits the most likely attribute to characterize sedimentology and top diagenetic picks of the carbonates.  It is concluded from four reservoir zones in Matoa’s static model, that present-day analogues and distinct interplay among lithology, depositional and diagenetic systems are key aspects to revise the development strategies. The most significant interdependent factors can be quantitatively measured and modelled, such as the dual porosity system which was synthesized by Phi separate vug from the RFN Lucia porosity model.

Abstract

In literature the English playwright Shakespeare proposed that “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”. Many geologist are also flexible about the names they apply to features, and are tolerant of both over-simplification and even making mistakes in the naming of formations or other features. It appears that precision of a single noun is considered subservient to the essence of the narrative, such as evaluating a hydrocarbon prospect, or giving an interpretation of history. Here it is argued that naming is important because geology is so rich in nouns, and consequently compound errors in the use of multiple, poorly-defined nouns rapidly degrades overall meaning. It is proposed that without names that are both natural and consistently applied, but also continually improved, the scientific framework soon falls apart. By this we mean that the geological understanding of exploration risk, or geological history, rapidly become too easily accommodating of any new data and thus loses all rigour. Good, natural names are the results of tested concepts and are themselves open to further testing. From such testing comes recognition that in nature there are both gradational variation in series as well as discrete categories. A search for good names is inexorably linked to a better understanding of the features concerned.

Abstract

The paper aims to synthesize the evolution of sedimentary basins in Cambodia based on a comprehensive information on tectonic setting and existing database of their formation and sedimentation. The study includes a review on tectonic setting of Indochina, the formation of sedimentary basins around Cambodia, and the accessible data on sedimentary basins in Cambodia. Indochina, as well as Cambodia, had been influenced by the collision of three different plates or terranes such as the South China, Sibumasu-Sukhothai, and Paleo-Pacific that are associated with the evolution of Paleozoic-Mesozoic Basins namely Khorat and Kampong Som Basins. These two oldest basins, are interpreted as a Paleozoic – Mesozoic foreland basin that initially formed due to rifting during the Late Carboniferous to Late Permian, and later basin inversion and erosion took place due to the Mesozoic to earliest Cenozoic uplift. Then, Cambodia was affected by Tertiary strike-slip fault movements that also influenced the formation of Tonle Sap, Svayrieng and Khmer Tertiary rift basins. Tonle Sap and Svayrieng Basins are interpreted to be formed by extension during the Middle Eocene – Early Oligocene and inversion, uplift and denudation during the Miocene. The Khmer Basin was formed by rifting during the Eocene to the Late Oligocene, followed by rapid thermal subsidence from the Early to Middle Miocene. Finally, Khmer basin was affected by the Middle – Late Miocene to Pleistocene inversion.

Abstract

The spreading history of the northern Indian Ocean is re-examined with the aim of interpreting the late Mesozoic-Paleogene evolution of the northern Australian continental margin in eastern Indonesia and Timor-Leste. The earliest seafloor spreading (‘Argo phase’) developed between approximately 155-131Ma (Kimmeridgian, Late Jurassic to Valanginian, Early Cretaceous). A clockwise pole of rotation relative to Australia (‘Argo pole’) is interpreted at 7°09’S, 133°07’E, a present-day location near the Tanimbar islands in eastern Indonesia. A second ‘Gascoyne’ phase of spreading, between 131-100Ma (late Early Cretaceous), had an interpreted clockwise rotation pole at 3°40’N, 125°00’E, a present-day location between the islands of Mindanao (southern Philippines) and Sulawesi (eastern Indonesia). A third ‘Wharton’ phase of spreading, commencing at the beginning of the Late Cretaceous (~100Ma) had a more distant pole (clockwise pole at 5°S, 171°E: Jacob et al., 2014), although more local rotations are interpreted for the Greater Sula Spur continental terrane, about a pole estimated at 9°24’S, 134°40’E, close to the earlier Argo pole.The motions of two continental terranes are inferred from the spreading history. The Argoland Terrane, which is identified in this study as eastern Sundaland (Borneo and Java), would not have entirely detached from Australia before the mid Cretaceous due to the relatively proximal locations of the Argo and Gascoyne rotation poles. In this scenario Argoland could not have collided with Eurasia in the Cretaceous, as suggested by several previous studies. The Greater Sula Spur Terrane (several continental fragments in present-day eastern Indonesia), is repositioned in the initial reconstructions immediately north of Timor, and did not move northward to its late Paleogene (pre-Neogene collision) location until the Wharton phase of rifting that commenced in the Late Cretaceous. This northward motion of the Greater Sula Spur was accommodated by the development of a narrow oceanic basin (the Banda Embayment).The reconstructions suggest that the Argoland and Greater Sula Spur continental terranes formed a continuous crustal connection between SE Asia and northern Australia throughout the late Mesozoic and early Paleogene, and that the Indian Ocean developed entirely within the body of the disrupting Gondwanaland supercontinent, rather than linking eastwards into the Pacific Ocean.
