Carbonate rocks in northern of West Jiwo Hills Bayat: The indication of thrust belt development in southern Central Java
Full text linkBayat, Klaten, Central Java, is one of three locations in Java with complete types of rocks exposed at the earth’s surface. All those rocks are scattered over a short distance in Bayat, revealing past processes of rock deformation (folding, fracturing, and faulting) and present-day processes of rock weathering and erosion. In this study, we present how clastic carbonate rock of the Oyo Formation at northern Jiwo Hills could be separated about ±15 km northern from its platforms as an indication of thrust fault growth. This study uses aerial photography for photogrammetry (drones) combined with structural geology and microfossil analyses (to know the exact formation) from the outcrop observation. Recent studies have certified that drones are one reliable observation tool in various aspects with better resolution, especially in structural geology studies. Aerial photogrammetry is very well done to see the exact condition of a wide area combined with high resolution on an outcrop scale. The result shows that the carbonate rocks are from Oyo Formation (N9–N11) with the Middle Neritic bathymetric zone. The structural geology phenomenon kinematically indicates the impact of the transpressional movement called flower structure. Based on subsurface interpretation, the authors hypothesize this area was the product of an imbrication thrust stack uplifted basement as the result of the thrust fault rather than horst or paleo-basement high
BIOSTRATIGRAPHY ANALYSIS OF BARBATOS-1 EXPLORATION WELL IN TOMORI BLOCK, BANGGAI BASIN, EAST ARM OF SULAWESI
Full text linkA biostratigraphic analysis was carried out on 60 samples taken from the Barbatos-1 Well, located within the Tomori Block, Banggai Tertiary Basin, East Arm of Sulawesi. The Barbatos-1 well was selected for this study because it is composed of rock sequences which are the main reservoir in the Tomori Block. Biostratigraphic analysis was conducted to determine the relative age and depositional environment of the sample. The age of the sample is determined based on the interval zone. The depositional environment is estimated basedon the ratio of plankton (P/B ratio) and fossil facies. The results revealed that the rock formations studied were deposited in the Miocene to Holocene age. The lowest layer is the Orbulina bilobata-Zone which was deposited at N10 – N12 (lower Middle Miocene) in the bathyal environment. The layer above is a biozonation of Globorotalia menardii, deposited at N12 – N14 (upper Middle Miocene) in a neritic environment. The next layer is the biozonation of Sphaeroidinella subdehiscens – Globigerina praebulloides which wasdeposited at N14 – N17 (Middle Miocene – Late Miocene) in the bathyal environment. The topmost layer is the biozonation of Orbulina universa – Globigerinoides immaturus which was deposited at N17 –N23 or Pliocene – Holocene in the bathyal environment. In the top two layers, there are fossil fragments that come from older rock layers (Early Tertiary).
TWO-DIMENSIONAL INVERSION MODELING OF MAGNETOTELLURIC (MT) SYNTHETIC DATA OF A GRABEN STRUCTURE USING SimPEG
Full text linkThe magnetotelluric (MT) method is a passive exploration method in geophysics that utilizes natural electromagnetic waves as a signal source. MT operates in the frequency range of 10-5 - 106 Hz, designed to study the structure of the conductivity below the earth's surface with a depth range from several tens of meters to the upper mantle. In this paper, 2-dimensional inversion modeling is performed on MT synthetic data using the SimPEG software. First, forward modeling is done by making a 2-dimensional conductivity model in the form of a valley (graben), which aims to produce MT synthetic data in TE (transverse electric) mode, TM (transverse magnetic) mode, and a combination of TE mode and TM mode. Next, an inversion modeling is performed on the MT synthetic data by adding a 5% Gaussian noise and a 10-5 floor as data uncertainty to obtain a 2-dimensional conductivity inversion model. The final result can be validated by comparing the true model and the inversion model and between observational data (synthetic) and predictive predicted data. The results of this study provide a significant fit of the model and suitability of the data. The inversion quality is validated with an RMS Error for TE mode of 0.349%, TM mode of 0.348%, and a combination of TE and TM mode of 0.249%.
CHARACTERIZATION OF ROCK LAYERS BASED ON REFRACTION SEISMIC METHOD: A CASE STUDY OF MENTARANG’S HYDRO-POWER PLANT, MALINAU REGENCY, NORTH KALIMANTAN
No full textNorth Kalimantan Province is a new province that is dynamic in development in order to prosper the inhabitants. The research and exploration to make a plan to develop new renewable energy are one of their main programs. The hydro-power plant of Mentarang, Malinau Regency, Kalimantan Utara is a plan program in 2020. The research study of hydro-power plants is essential as a reference in the development plan and avoids the hazard, miss calculation due to human error, etc. Seismic refraction is used in the feasibility study and detailed engineering study (FS DED) of Mentarang's Hydro-power plant. Analysis from the Seismic refraction method can be used as an input parameter for deciding the feasibility of Mentarang's hydro-power plant. This study aims to characterize the sub-surface layers, structure, and sub-surface layer thickness within this area. The seismic refraction method uses the intercept time or travel-time versus distance and processed using the reciprocal method, then it is modelled using inversion and resulted in a 2D profile. This research study was used the seismic refraction method with geometry acquisition of 14 sources with two spread and 5 meters of geophone interval. The analysis result of the 2D inversion profile model, in general, is classified as four strata layers. These strata are categorized as weathered layers with 5-15 meters of thickness, clay, and Sandstone about 5-20 meter of layer thickness, Sandstone with the layer thickness of about 20-50 meters, and lastly, granite, lava rocks, or limestone with depth more than 70 meters below the subsurface. There is a possibility of a structure at an offset of 70 meters, but this method's limitation will overestimate the conclusion. Therefore, it is necessary to bring another method that more sensitive to work further in research study evaluation of hydro-power plant Mentarang, Malinau Regency, North Kalimantan.
Geothermal Reservoir Identification based on Gravity Data Analysis in Rajabasa Area- Lampung
Full text linkGravity research in the Rajabasa geothermal prospect area was conducted to determine geothermalreservoirs and faults as reservoir boundaries. The research includes spectrum analysis and separation of the Bouguer anomaly to obtain a residual Bouguer anomaly, gradient analysis using the second vertical derivative (SVD) technique to identify fault structures or lithological contact, and 3D inversion modeling of the residual Bouguer anomaly to obtain a 3D density distribution subsurface model. Analysis was performed based on all results with supplementary data from geology, geochemistry, micro-earthquake (MEQ) epicenter distribution map, and magnetotelluric (MT) inversion profiles. The study found 3 (three) geothermal reservoirs in Mount Balirang, west of Mount Rajabasa, and south of Pangkul Hot Spring, with a depth of around 1,000-1,500 m from the ground level. Fault structures and lithologies separate the three reservoirs. The location of the reservoir in the Balirang mountain area corresponds to the model data from MEQ, temperature, and magnetotelluric resistivity data. The heat source of the geothermal system is under Mount Rajabasa, which is indicated by the presence of high-density values (might be frozen residual magma), high-temperature values, and the high number of micro-earthquakes epicenters below the peak of Mount Rajabasa

Time Defendability of Ground Resistance Properties and Its Application of Vitric Tuff on the Development of Ground Enhancement Material
Full text linkGround repair material is an essential part of the grounding system as a lightning rod to reduce the risk of lightning activity. Grounding repair materials consist of conductive and superconductive materials, commonly known as Ground Enhancement Materials (GEM). GEM has a low resistivity, very effectively supporting lightning shock energy to earth. Vitric tuff, a pyroclastic rock, is composed of an aluminosilicate (phyllosilicate) mineral group developed as a grounding improvement material. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the decrease in resistivity of vitric tuff in its development as a GEM. The research method consisted of field observations and laboratory experiments (treatment with chemical-physical activation and formulation with additives). The results showed that moisture content, SiO2/Al2O3 ratio (quartz and feldspar mineral/albite), clay mineral, crystal quality (impurities), carbon, and salt were influenced by vitric tuff resistivity. With the vitric tuff formulation and additives, the resistivity reduction is above 99%. Based on experiments, the best formulation of GEM made from tuff is 65% activated vitric tuff, 27% activated charcoal, 6% NaCl, and 2% Cement Material Cellulose. The formula produces a resistivity value of 0.0124 Ω-m, which is stable with time and meets GEM requirements (ρ ≤ 0.20 Ω-m)
Coseismic and postseismic deformation from the 2007 Bengkulu earthquake based on GPS Data
Full text linkOn September 12, 2007, a M8.5 megathrust earthquake occurred along the Sunda trench near Bengkulu, West Sumatra. GPS data in Sumatra have indicated the coseismic and postseismic deformations resulting from this earthquake. Our estimate of coseismic displacements suggests that the earthquake displaced up to ~1.8m at GPS stations located north of the epicenter. Moreover, our principal strain estimation in the region suggests that the maximum coseismic extensional strain is ~40 ppm. Our analysis of GPS data in the region suggests that the postseismic decay of the 2007 Bengkulu earthquake was 46 days, estimated using a logarithmic function
