Abstract

The Tungkal Graben is located in Jambi Sub-basin, the northern part of South Sumatera Basin. This basin is known as one of the largest hydrocarbons producing basin in Indonesia. There are several proven source rocks in the South Sumatera Basin. The paralic shales and coal horizon of Talangakar Formation (TAF) are known as primary source rock in this basin and considered as a reservoir of shale gas-bearing in Tungkal Graben Area as well. This study used surface geological data that was collected from the southern foot of Tiga Puluh Mountain as the outcrop analogy and subsurface data (existing well and seismic data) in Tungkal Graben Area. This study applied integrated methods including environmental deposition analysis, organic geochemistry analysis, petrophysical analysis, seismic interpretation, sweet spot delineation, and volumetric of gas in place (GIP) calculation. TAF observed both on the outcrop and well is transition deposit that consists of the dominance of shale and siltstone with interbedded of coal, sandstone, and limestone. Shale and siltstone of TAF have characteristic which is appropriate as a shale gas bearing, with sufficient organic content richness, suitable kerogen type, its maturity entering the early gas generation and proper brittleness index (BI). The sweet spot area is an area that has met the criteria for potential shale gas and determined by pay zone criteria. Depend on the criteria, Net to gross for shale gas is 0.158, early gas generation estimated at a depth of 10250 feet, and sweet spot area reaches 8.9 x 108 ft2. Thus, the total potential of shale gas resources from the calculation using the Ambrose method is 2.12 TCF.

Abstract

The Barito Basin so far known as back-arc basin that formed by the rifting in Early Tertiary, which the oldest sedimentary rock in this basin is believed has a Middle Eocene to Early Oligocene age. However, this research will present new evidence regarding the existence of sedimentary rocks that are older than Cenozoic age in the Barito Basin. This research was carried out on Bongkang-2 well, as the main data, and other five wells which have an indication of the discovery of Pre-Tertiary sedimentary rocks, which are generally located in the northern part of the Barito Basin. Integration of mud log data, petrography, paleontology, and dip-meter data, resulting the identification of lithology, age and depositional environment, and then interpretation of the paleoenvironment of the Barito Basin in the Late Cretaceous is carried out. Based on the analysis of data, it is show that Pre-Tertiary sedimentary rocks found in the six wells analyzed has Cenomanian age, which is indicated by the presence of large foraminifera fossils in the form of Sulcoperculina sp. and Orbitolina sp. in Bongkang-2, Hayup-1 and Hayup-3 wells, as well as palynomorph fossils in the form of Cicatrico- sisporites dorogensis, A. tricornitatus, Aquilapollenites sp., Distaverrusporites margaritus and Classopolis cf. classoides in Bagok-1 and Bagok-2 wells. In addition, based on lithological analysis, in the Bongkang-2, Hayup-1 and Hayup-2 wells lithology develops in the form of limestone, shale and sandstone, while in the Didi-1, Bagok-1 and Bagok-2 wells lithology develops in the form of shale with sandstone and pyroclastic – volcaniclastics rock intercalation. Then, based on the integration of lithology and paleontology analysis, it is known that in the Cenomanian age, terrestrial environments developed in the western part of the Barito Basin, while in the eastern part the shallow marine environment developed.

Abstract

Oil measured volume discrepancies in custody transfer systems is becoming a persistent challenge, which is often caused by complex thermal, hydraulic, and compositional interactions. Therefore, this study aimed to introduce a data-driven framework incorporating Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and machine learning (ML) to identify as well as predict discrepancies at a representative onshore gathering station (GS) in Indonesia (Field-X). Major operational parameters, including gross volume, unallocated net oil, pressure, temperature, and Basic Sediment & Water (BS&W), were analyzed to assess the impact on volumetric imbalance. During the analysis, PCA reduced 64 correlated variables to five principal components, explaining 95% of the total variance and showing gross volume, pressure, and temperature as dominant factors. Four ML models, namely XGBoost, Random Forest, Support Vector Regression, and ElasticNet, were trained as well as validated with three-fold time series cross-validation for temporal robustness. Incorporating PCA significantly improved predictive performance, with Support Vector Regression showing the largest R² increase (from –0.0082 to 0.82). Results signified that discrepancies were primarily governed by thermodynamic shrinkage, temperature changes, and BS&W-related metering errors. In addition, the proposed PCA–ML framework offered an interpretable, reliable method for early detection and mitigation of oil volume discrepancies in complex production environments.

Abstract

Heavy oil which is classifi ed as non conventional oil is the target of exploration in the world. In Indonesia, the potential for heavy oil exploration is quite large, especially in the Central Sumatra basin. This study aims to map the location of potential heavy oil based on remote sensing data and regional gravity data supported by a geographic information system. Landsat 8 OLI satellite data is processed to produce 567 (RGB) color composite images, then further processing is carried out with DEM data to produce fusion images; mapping the vegetation index, clay mineral index, iron oxide index, surface temperature. The gravity data is used for mapping subsurface geological structures. Overlay analysis is carried out on the results of remote sensing data processing and interpretation of surface and subsurface geology. Based on the analysis, it shows that heavy oil fi elds are generally found on the surface and subsurface structures which are relatively identical and located on the edge of the basement high. Based on this analysis, the locations that have the potential for heavy oil and gas traps are on the northeast edge, Dalu-dalu High, the edge of Kampar High, the west edge of Kuantan High, the southwest edge of the Beruk High, the southwest edge of the Sembilan High.

Abstract

It is commonly known that heavy oil is mostly formed through biodegradation process within reservoir or on the surface both by aerobic and/or anaerobic bacteria that can live under specfi c temperature level(s). In order to investigate heavy oil occurences in Central Sumatra Basin, eff orts have been spent to determine the depths that represent the maximum temperature. By integrating the maximum viable temperature of typical bacteria and temperature gradient data, the depth of heavy oil zone is determined. The work is a combination of establishment of geothermal gradient map and laboratory analysis on fi eld sampled oil for determining types and temperature characteristics of microorganism living in the samples. Heavy oil sampling is made on seepages in areas nearby Minas fi eld. Subsequent laboratory analysis reveals Burkholderia multivorans ATCC BAA-247 as the predominant bacteria having maximum viabl temperature of 60° C. Based on the established geothermal gradient map, this maximum temperature correspond to average depth of 1818 ft (555.5 m). This average depth is used as the lower depth for the biodegradation zone over which investigation over presence of heavy oil bearing reservoirs/traps is made.

Abstract

Central Sumatra Basin has been proven as a mature basin that produces large amounts of conventional oil. In fact, some of the existing oil fi elds are heavy oil containing such as Duri, Sebanga, Rantau Bais, and Kulin fi elds with their API Gravity values of lower than 25o . Apart from those oil fi elds the Central Sumatra Basin is expected to bear signifi cant heavy oil potential. In this light, this paper emphasizes discussion of subsurface geological evaluation on suspected fi elds/areas that contain heavy oil. This evaluation serves as a preliminary step in investigation of heavy oil resources/reserves in the basin. Analysis results on stratigraphic sequence and seismic interpretation provide information support facts over presence of heavy oil that are usually associated to main faults of Dalu-Dalu, Rokan, Sebanga, Petapahan, Pulau Gadang, and Kotabatak. Large tectonic events as a compression phase in the Middle Miocene – recent developed regional uplift and formed main thrust faults system, anticline structures due to the creature of basement highs, during which the F3 was deposited. The thrust faults system are important in the process of heavy oil generation in which surface water encroached into uplifted oil traps hence triggering heavy oil transformation mechanisms of biodegradation and water washing. This study provides illustration over sequences the heavy oil is generated in and their dimension in relation to area of structural anticlines. Based on available data, evaluation on subsurface geology has shown that anticlinal structures containing heavy oil tend to be characterized by near surface uplift (Basement up to 500 - 750 ms), whereas structures with lesser certainty in heavy oil containment tend show lower degrees of uplift marked by basement depth around 1000 ms or deeper. In general, seismic interpretation has shown that heavy oil is contained some sequences within sequences of 4 to 7 (equivalent to Menggala, Bekasap, Bangko, and Duri-Telisa formations).

Abstract

Heavy oil is formed through biodegradation process of hydrocarbons, as well as water washing, in which light hydrocarbon fraction disappears and leaves the heavy fraction. Heavy oil is essentially an asphaltic, dense (low API gravity), and viscous that is chemically characterized by its high content of asphaltenes in the oil. Although variously defi ned, 25o API is set the upper limit for heavy oil. Heavy oil in the Central Sumatra Basin is evidently formed as a result of biodegradation and water washing (a hydrodynamic process within oil reservoir) mechanisms. These processes occur as result of tectonic uplift of the reservoir after it has been fi lled with hydrocarbons. Heavy oil reservoir depths in the Central Sumatra Basin are generally shallower than 1,000 feet (300-400 meters), at which surface water may may be associated with the reservoir hence enabling the heavy oil transformation. A combined geology, remote sensing/geographic information system ( GIS), geophysics, stratigraphy, and wellbased analyses is utilized to serve the study. It has been observed that within the northern part of the basin, heavy oil is mainly found in fi elds located within uphill fault blocks such as the up-thrown part of the Sebanga thrust fault with its Duri, Sebanga North, Kulin, Rantau Bais, Batang, Akar, and Genting fi elds. In the western part of the basin there are the Kumis, Kotalama and Pendalian heavy oil fi elds associated with Dalu-Dalu thrust fault and Gadang Island uplift. In total 51 fi elds/structures containing or suspected to contain heavy oil are associated with uplifted geological positions, hence showing the strong relations between tectonic evolutions and present day presence of heavy oil within the basin.

Abstract

Central Sumatra Basin is one of the most prolifi c hydrocarbon basins in Indonesia and has proved itself as being the largest contributor to Indonesia’s national crude oil production. Heavy oil fi elds in the basin, such Duri fi eld as the largest one, plays a very important role in making up the basin’s whole oil production output. In general, the Central Sumatra Basin is also acknowledged for its heavy oil potential. Accordingly, a study under the auspices of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) of the Republic of Indonesia is carried out to re-visit the potential. The study establishes and implements an integrated approach formed by a combined macro and micro analyses. In the macro analysis, a combined evaluations of regional geology, geophysics, geochemistry, remote sensing/geographic information system ( GIS), regional geothermal study, and fi eld survey/ microbiology is performed to identify geological positions of the heavy oil potential. In the micro analysis, on the other hand, qualitative and quantitative well-log analyses supported by well-test and laboratory measurement data on the identifi ed geological positions are carried out with an aim of identifying heavy oil bearing reservoirs/traps under three categories of certainty. The main result of the study is identifi cation of 51 fi elds/structures - producing and non-producing – that bears heavy oil within the three categories. Findings of the study can certainly be used as a prerequisite for more intensive and expansive studies to meet the need for a more solid conclusion regarding the heavy oil potential of the Central Sumatra Basin.

Abstract

This paper primarily is focusing on presenting the non-productive time overview and any kind of non-productive time that can be reduced by real-time data technology, real-time data transmission and visualization infrastructure which supports the processes of aggregation, transmission, and visualization; the example of multipurpose implementation and further innovation and improvements that can be made within the real-time data transmission and visualization, such as real-time reservoir footage calculation during geosteering and drill-time calculation to pick the formation tops and casing point; the challenges and limitation while using real-time data, such as VSAT and local network connectivity issue; and future target and improvement of real-time data usage especially to make an artifi cial intelligence system to predict the potential feature, such as formation or drilling problem while drilling. All of those stuff s could be found by literature study and direct professional experience while handling real-time data system. This technology will inspire the user to design their own solution for their operations. Despite the signifi cant advances on real-time data transmission and visualization, there is signifi cant room to fully use itspotential for advanced workfl ows and the usage of real-time data technology which was proven to reduce the Non-Productive Time that could save the operational cost. We believe that the utilization of real-time data transmission and visualization will defi nitely increase the effi ciency of the drilling operations, especially for multiple wells operations.
