Pliocene Deep Water Channel System of Celebes Molasse as New Exploration Play In Banggai Sula Foreland Basin, Eastern Sulawesi-Indonesia

Banggai-Sula foreland basin in Matindok block is the product of Late Miocene to Early Pliocene collision between Banggai-Sula microcontinent and East Sulawesi Ophiolite (ESO)-magmatic arc of Sundaland.

Description
Summary:Banggai-Sula foreland basin in Matindok block is the product of Late Miocene to Early Pliocene collision between Banggai-Sula microcontinent and East Sulawesi Ophiolite (ESO)-magmatic arc of Sundaland. Proven petroleum system plays for Donggi, Senoro, and Matindok gas fields are Miocene build-up carbonate and platform carbonates related to wrench structures, sealed by Plio-Pleistocene Celebes Molasse consists of conglomerate, conglomeratic sandstone, shale and charged during early Pliocene related to collisional tectonic from Miocene marine clastic source rocks. Latest interpretation of 3D & 2D seismic datasets on onshore area of Matindok block shown that there is possibility of NE to SW trending channel systems existed in Plio-Pleistocene Celebes Molasse as post collision sediments. Based on biostratigraphy interpretation, Celebes Molasse interval was deposited in marine environment, generally outer sublittoral to upper bathyal. Channel filled pattern on seismic data expression shown onlap, divergent and mounded-onlap fills on 6 (six) interpreted channel bodies. Fining upward sequences is well recognized based on gamma ray log from several wells that penetrated those interpreted channel. The thicknesses of channel bodies vary from 50 m to 150 m with sand to shale ratio up to 40 % and gas composition reading from C1 to C3. Despite of there is no well testing data on these channels interval; we believed that this Pliocene deep water channel can become the new exploration play although several studies about seal effectiveness of channel bodies as stratigraphic traps, lateral and vertical migration pathways need to be carried out.
