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 Upper Cibulakan reservoir of the Ajata Field in the Northwest Java Basin represents tidal shelf sand ridges deposited in an open-mouthed shallow marine environment. One hundred fifty-three wells have been drilled to develop this reservoir since 1970. The average density of wells in the Ajata Field is 400-500 m, making it an ideal case for reconstructing tidal shelf sand ridges reservoir model. This study aims to determine tidal shelf sand ridges heterogeneity and geometry, especially through width-thickness ratio, in the Ajata Field and to identify similar reservoirs in other fields or basins. The data used in this study are 900 ft conventional core data, 74 Routine Core Analysis (RCA) data, 152 well logs, and 3D seismic data.Tidal shelf sand ridges conventional cores analysis shows six lithofacies in the Upper Cibulakan Formation, namely: claystone-siltstone, lenticular siltstone, flaser sandstones, cross-bedded sandstones, non-calcareous massive sandstones, and calcareous sandstones. These six lithofacies are grouped into four facies associations and they reflect the tidal shelf ridge development stages: embryonic, immature accretion, mature accretion, and abandonment. These facies associations create a cyclicity pattern bounded by chronostratigraphic markers of marine flooding surfaces. Well-to-well correlation and seismic interpretation results show several trends and geometry of the tidal shelf sand ridges. Three zones of width thickness ratio (W-T) analysis in every parasequence are concluded in this study: Zone I (width: maximum 800 m; thickness: less than 25 ft), Zone II (width: 700 – 1300 m; thickness: 25 – 45 ft), and Zone III (width: 1000 – 1900 m; thickness: thicker than 45 ft).

Abstract

Our understanding of the regional geology of SE Asia appears to have stagnated and, to break out of this state, a new approach to stratigraphic studies is required. We must avoid the trap of deductive studies and boilerplate formats as these restrictive methods of investigation rely heavily on assumptions that are not valid in the tectonically active basins of the region. This review examines an alternative workflow that replaces model-based methods with evidence-based ones, and in particular uses stratigraphic properties in a quantitative way to test old concepts. Through this approach a tectono-stratigraphic framework is established, and new data is used to test and then build upon this interdisciplinary framework. It is argued that only this approach can accommodate and predict the unique and locally complex geology of the region. A key component of this approach is the now stable, cross-facies, biostratigraphy, and time scale for the later Eocene to Recent of SE Asia, as well as methods in estimating paleo-bathymetry. These can be used to evaluate the sedimentary history and structural evolution of the basins, using geohistorical analysis.The application of this quantitative approach, combined with a more open attitude to sub-surface data from government authorities, makes it highly probable that there will be a paradigm shift in our understanding of regional geology across SE Asia. Examples given here illustrate the use of the quantitative methods in rejecting long-established and widely cited old ideas, and the start of building of new concepts. We have not yet arrived at the new paradigm, but we can already observe that the attenuation of Sundaland, with two separate axes of extension, both with simultaneous episodes of movement, is not consistent with any current plate tectonic hypothesis, or even any known plate mechanism. The new framework is argued to be both innovative and predictive, replacing the largely descriptive and enervated role of geology in the past few decades. A new, evidence-based role will offer a better understanding of facies palaeogeography through time and exploration risks.

Abstract

The Ardjuna Field in the Northwest Corner (NWC) block is located on the eastern side of Sunda Basin and is adjacent to the Seribu Fault. Producing reservoirs in the Ardjuna Field are mainly of the Talangakar (TAF) fluvio-deltaic sandstones, however all wells within the four production platforms of the field had been shut in November 2006. Hence it is necessary to re-evaluate remaining potential and to seek new reservoirs within the field in order to reactivate oil and gas production from the structure.The main focus of our study is to evaluate the remaining potential of TAF fluvio-deltaic producing zones and identify new potential in the TAF lacustrine deposits. We used a total of 8 exploration wells, 17 development wells, and a 3D seismic dataset during our evaluation. Out of the 25 wells, only two wells have penetrated the lacustrine deposits interval, i.e. W-1 and S-5 wells. The S-5 well proved flowing HC of up to 1,043 MMCFGPD and 332 BOPD from DST.The lower TAF lacustrine deposit is characterized by the occurrence of typical freshwater pollens, displaying a serrated and coarsening upward log pattern, thin succession, and absence of sediment structures. Seismic interpretation and Acoustic Impedance (AI) analysis indicate that low AI value ( 7200 gr/cc*ft/s) correlate with high porosity, interpreted as sandstone. The AI-guided seismic attribute reveals a relatively regular lobate shape resembling a fan measuring 1.7 km by 2.5 km. Furthermore, low AI values are more prevalent and widely distributed, particularly on top of the closure.

Abstract

The Stratigraphic Lexicon is an important source of regional geological information. Due to the development of the science and the geological understanding, the lexicon needs to be updated. Following the first Indonesian Stratigraphic Lexicon by Marks (1957), Harahap et al. (2003) made an update to the lexicon. The latter version was later published online as a website. A GIS format of the lexicon will soon be available for geoscientists to use. This paper also provides suggestions for improving the lexicon, which includes the preparation of logs type for each section. A systematic approach to periodically ever greening the lexicon is necessary. The Geological Survey of Indonesia and the Indonesian Association of Geologists should be involved in the future improvement of the lexicon.

Abstract

In its simplest form geology is a history, which appears to only require the compilation of a chronicle. However, our data is fragmentary, and aspects such as the dimension of time and the depositional setting of sediments are obscured, especially the correlation of time over wide areas and determining rates of change. As a result, geology cannot advance just by accumulating observations, expecting that a credible narrative will inevitably emerge. There must be reality checks on the proposed history to avoid confirmation bias towards over-simple expectations. In a region suspected to be complicated and, in many ways, unique we require an abductive investigative technique to reconstruct its history. This means to force testing through cross-checking independent but related data types. Such inter-disciplinary testing can produce a rigorous framework, even to reconstruct special situations not accommodated by ideas models. This essay examines three topics necessary for such evidence-based investigation. The first is to investigate and document the reliability of observations (like the “error-bars” required in hard-sciences). Secondly is the shift from model-based to evidence-based processes (from deductive to abductive reasoning). Thirdly is the need to consider if conclusions are “significant” - i.e., is there confidence that an interpretation would be repeatable by independent workers, as well as being distinct from background variability in data. It is proposed that we must acknowledge the replication crisis highlighted in the past two decades in other sciences by considering how we work in the complex geology of SE Asia, to prevent a similar validation crisis undermining the value of the science here.
