Kota Kinabalu, Sabah: A Turbidite Paradise

Kota Kinabalu, the largest town in Sabah, Borneo, is a rapidly developing urban centre and a tourist attraction in South East Asia. To the geologist, this part of Sabah is also renowned for its outcrops of turbidites. These Oligocene deepwater sediments are among the most sand-rich turbidite outcrops in the world.

Joint Petroleum Development Area Timor Sea

Exploration opportunities in the prolific Bonaparte Basin of the Timor Sea.

Indonesia: The Eastern Frontier

New light has been shed on the petroleum potential of the Northern Arafura Shelf area in Eastern Indonesia.

Drilling Uphill

In Brunei, Shell has an ongoing programme drilling into the reservoir from below. Drilling, completing and producing an upside-down well, however, poses a number of interesting questions.

Miri 1910

In 1910, now 100 years ago, the Shell/Royal Dutch Group drilled the first discovery well in Miri, Sarawak. This oil discovery changed the face of Miri from a small fishery village into a modern city. But it took a lot more than luck to find and produce Sarawak’s only onshore oil field.

Cepu Block, Java

The surprising discovery of some 600MMbo of oil in Tertiary carbonates in a mature basin has vitalized the Indonesian oil industry.

Deepwater Frontier Exploration

Offshore Indonesia, TGS has recently come up with innovative ways of combining data from a number of sources to examine the prospectivity of underexplored deepwater frontier basins in a cost-effective manner.

Surrounded by hydrocarbons

Only three years after Independence, East Timor is now ready to announce the first licensing round. With multiple oil and gas seeps onshore, several discoveries and four fields producing both oil and gas offshore, the Timorese have reason to expect significant interest from international oil companies.

Improving 3D images

A deep, structurally complex carbonate reservoir offshore Philippines has been imaged with great clarity and resolution, despite the severely rugose water bottom and stratigraphically complex overburden. This has been accomplished by applying HighDensity 3D (HD3DTM) marine streamer acquisition.
