... of carbonate producers under the influence of a terrigenous input. In this study, MCS system deposits near Samarinda and Bontang in East Kalimantan (Indonesia) are investigated. These include 10 sections divided into three groups based on their geological age and geographical position: Bontang sections...

... Lhok Seumawe facility and the other at Huffco’s Bontang plant. The bulk of the produced gas was exported as LNG to Japan, but some was used as feedstock for fertilizer plants, for LPG, and for other domestic purposes. Indonesia is the largest LNG exporter in the world. Exploration activity...

... calcitic shells, such as oysters and pectinids ( Wright et al. 2003 , and references therein; Santodomingo et al. 2015 ). In this study an unusually well preserved association of ramose corals and mollusks from upper Miocene deposits in Bontang (East Kalimantan, Indonesia) is presented. The material...

...WILLEM RENEMA; VIOLA WARTER; VIBOR NOVAK; JEREMY R. YOUNG; NATHAN MARSHALL; FAUZIE HASIBUAN Abstract We discuss the ages of twelve (clusters of) localities along the northeastern margin of the Kutai Basin (East Kalimantan, Indonesia). These localities form the basis for a large-scale study...

... the evolutionary history of reef building. To fill this knowledge gap, CCA from early and middle Miocene reefs and related carbonates in the Kutai Basin in East Kalimantan (Borneo, Indonesia) have been studied. The Kutai Basin was dominated by siliciclastic sediments of the proto-Mahakam Delta. Locally, carbonate...

...VIOLA WARTER; WOLFGANG MÜLLER; FRANK P. WESSELINGH; JONATHAN A. TODD; WILLEM RENEMA Abstract Two late Miocene Tridacna (giant clam) shells from East Kalimantan (Indonesia) were investigated in order to evaluate their potential as subannually resolved paleoenvironmental archives. Via a combination...

A series of remarkably complete and fresh exposures were studied from the Kutai Basin (East Kalimantan, Indonesia) that included thick lower to upper Miocene...

According to Drooger (1953) , the internal features of M. (L.) bifida Rutten appeared to be practically identical...

... and tectonic history ( Braga 2001 ). Nevertheless, Indonesia is rapidly developing at present, resulting in numerous new exposures as a consequence of the extensive extraction of coal, quarry activities, roadcuts, and the construction of new buildings. A large collection of samples was obtained...

..., and characteristics of the patch-reef deposits. The predominantly siliciclastic facies of the proto–Mahakam Delta present between the patch reefs are not shown. Lateral distances between patch reefs are not drawn to scale. The Bontang, Permasip, Airputih, and Senoni localities were characterized by multiple measured...

... for production. While activity in these areas was picking up steam, in other areas such as Bangladesh, Burma, and Afghanistan it continued at a slow pace. Indonesia, which accounts for more than 50% of the total Far East exploratory drilling began to rebound slowly from the doldrums of 1976 and 1977. Areas which...

Revision of the stratigraphy increases the resolution of ages assigned to most of the collections...

... in Indonesia ( Fig. 1 ; Wilson et al. 1999 ; Hall 2002a ). Modern and Neogene carbonates exist coevally with major siliciclastic influx from the Mahakam Delta on the eastern side of Borneo ( Fig. 1 ; Roberts and Sydow 1996 ; Wilson and Lokier 2002 ; Hook and Wilson 2003 ; Wilson 2005 ). Outcrops, with up...

... fields. No new major producing facilities were added in Indonesia during 1982. Gas production continued steady in 1982. Construction was still in progress on installation of additional capacity at Arun and Bontang LNG plants. When expansion is completed in 1983, Indonesia will further enlarge its...

...G. L. Fletcher Abstract Petroleum activity in the Far East during 1977 witnessed a slight recession compared to 1976. Peninsular Malaysia, India, and the Philippines registered significant gains. Areas which declined significantly were Bangladesh, Burma, and Thailand. Indonesia, which encompasses...

...Ken McClay; Tim Dooley; Angus Ferguson; Josep Poblet Abstract The Sanga Sanga Block contains four large to giant hydrocarbon fields in mid-to upper Miocene deltaic sandstones of the Mahakam Delta, eastern Kalimantan (Indonesia). These fields occur in the northeast-trending Mahakam fold belt, which...
