1.1.

Summary

World market prices for some mineral commodities have tended to increase recently
caused by political turmoil and economic policies in some countries and this has triggered an
increase in mineral exploration activities in Indonesia. Various local and foreign companies
continue to engage in intensive exploration activity. The Miwah project in Aceh, Belu
Manganese Project in the Belu Regency of West Timor, Lakuwahi project on Romang Island,
the Randu Kuning project in Wonogiri Regency, Suruh and Timahan prospect, Trenggalek
Regency, Soro Arc Exploration in East Sumbawa, Tumpangpitu project, Banyuwangi
Regency and the Tembang Gold and Silver Project in Central Sumatera are several projects
that are still ongoing and are expected to find new resources of metallic minerals in Indonesia.
Chinas policy of termination of rare earth exports has increased the price of these raw
materials for worldwide high technology usage. These resulted in a shift in demand for
mineral commodities which also affect mining activities in Indonesia. The Geological Agency
of Indonesia is actively conducting REE exploration in anticipation of providing preliminary
REE exploration data and information.
Resources and reserves of metallic minerals continue to change with exploration and
production activities of existing companies. Of these, Grasberg, Batuhijau, Gosowong,
Pongkor is still the largest contributor of resources, reserves and production as well as gold
and or copper in Indonesia. While Soroako, Pomalaa, Weda Bay, P. Gag and Tanjung Buli is
the largest contributor of resources and reserves of nickel.
Total resources and reserves of some metallic minerals in Indonesia as atl 2011are

Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities

During mid-late 2010 until mid-early 2012, The Geological Agency as a government
institution in charge of compiling an inventory of mineral resources and exploration in order
to provide preliminary data, has been conducting an investigation in some selected areas with
different types of mineral commodities such as lead, gold, bauxite, iron sand, ree. nickel, and
copper.
To implement the cooperative project of Geochemical Mapping and Mineral Resources
Assessment Research in Sumatra Island, Indonesia between the China Geological Survey,
Ministry of Land and Resources of the Peoples Republic of China and the Geological
Agency of Indonesia, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia, a 1st phase
was carried out during 2010 2011 in West Sumatera Province.
The metallic mineral inventory in Sangihe Islands and Sitaro Islands, North Sulawesi
found several mineralization indications; haematite at Kawaluso, malachite mineralization at
Lipang, advanced argillic alteration, piritization and malachite staining at northern Sangihe
and Nusa Tabukan Islands, argillic alteration containing 171 ppb Au at Beeng Darat and
Beeng Laut and gold and cinnabar in pan concentrate at Biaro island and Siau island. Base on
secondary data, gold resources were found at Binebase-Bawone and iron sand at KaluareKalasuge, Naha-Kaluare and Sensong-Lesahe
In Bukit Batu Balai and Takalong, Sekayam District, Sanggau Regency, 2 vein type
mineralization zones were discovered : gold mineralization (Au 17,620 ppb from rock
sample) in barite and quartz vein, copper mineralization(Cu 47,037 ppm from rock sample) in
quartz vein. Gold, cassiterite and garnet are found in pan concentrates from several locations.
A drilling program at Blitar Regency found chalcopyrite filled cracks at interval 430,40
430,55 m and 450,20 450,80 m.
Field obeservations at Jayapura area indicated nickel, chrome metallic mineralisation
that is prospective to be developed,.
Mineralization indications in Pronojiwohaharu dan Lewa districts, East Sumba Regency
were observed from float of quartz veins containing pyrite, chacopyrite, azurite and gold in
pan concentrates at 3 locations. The mineralization is interpreted to result from hydrothermal
processes in andesitic-basaltic volcanic rock.
In Moyo hulu, Plampang and Tarano dsitricts, Sumbawa Regency, alteration and
mineralization occurred in Tertiary volcanic rocks and some gold mineralization was mined
by local people. Mineralization indications are associated with quartz veins with vuggy
texture, but not associated with copper.
REE exploration at Sosortolong area, North Tapanuli, estimated REE resources at 3
block areas, to total 4.426.115,4 tonnes. REE in soil samples have been analysed and
significant results for Ce, La, and Pr were indicated, respectively (600 ppm 1400 ppm), (400
1000 ppm) and (600 ppm 1400 ppm).
Iron sand exploration at West Lampung area resulted total resources of 170.758,0795
ton concentrate containing 53,34 % Fe total and 12,73 %, TiO2 from 4 block area being
estimated.
Bauxite exploration at Sanggau, West Kalimantan resulted indicated resources of
86.632 m3 containing average Al2O3 51,17% Fe2O3 11,6%, SiO2 5,91% and TiO2 1,49% at
Engkitan-Seputau area and 1.370.365 m3 containing average Al2O3 52,63% Fe2O3 9,76%, SiO2
3,57% and TiO2 1,32% at Bukit Darwin area.

2. ENERGY PROGRAMME
2.1.

HYDROCARBON

2.1.1. Summary
Indonesia, like most developing countries, is a fossil-fuel driven country. The primary
energy source fueling Indonesias economy continues to be oil at 50% in 2011. Coal
consumption is becoming more widespread accounting for 24% as the second most consumed
fuel, surpassing gas at 20%. Coal will be the primary domestic energy source, particularly to
fuel new power generation capacity. Hydro and other renewable sources share 6% in the total
energy mix.
Indonesias crude oil production has been declining since 1998, due to maturation of the
countrys largest oil fields and failure to develop new, comparable resources. Oil production
of existing fields naturally declines by approximately 12% per year. By making continuousl
efforts, this production decline could be controlled and limited to about 3% per year.
According to the Directorat General Oil and Gas, Ministry of Energy and Mineral
Resources, the total of Indonesian oil reserves in 2011 was 7,732 million barrels, consisting of
proven reserves of 4,040 million barrels and potential reserves of 3,693 million barrels. With
the total production of 339 million barrel a year in 2010, this means that the proven reserves
are sufficient for only about 12 years if additional proven reserves are not acquired.
Additional oil reserves could be found through the successful implementation of EOR
technologies in potential fields and by exploration drilling in hydrocarbon basins which are
not yet explored.
In contrast with oil production, Indonesias gas production has been increasing since
2007 and is still expected to grow further in the coming years. The increase of gas production
is prioritized for domestic needs. The total of Indonesian gas reserves in 2010 amounted to
153 trillion cubic feet, comprised of proven reserves 105 trillion cubic feet and potential
reserves 48 trillion cubic feet. With the total production 3196 billion cubic feet a year in 2010,
it means that the proven reserves will last for only about 33 years if there are no new
discoveries.
Driven by the fact that the reserves replacement ratios (RRR) for oil and gas are only
36% and 41% respectively, while domestic consumption does not show a significant decrease,
efforts have been prompted to develop unconventional hydrocarbon resources in addition to
renewable energy resources.
In recent years, acceptance of coal bed methane (CBM) as an alternative natural gas
supply is evidenced by the increasing number of operating area licenses issued by the
government. The first gas production for electricity from CBM is targeted for the end of 2011.
Included in unconventional gas is shale-gas. Based on the results of temporary
identification, Indonesian shale-gas resources are in four regions of Sumatra, Java,

CCOP Member Country Report: INDONESIA

Kalimantan and Papua. The government began compiling the rules of law to facilitate the
development of this resource.
During the period of this report, Indonesia has carried out collaboration with worldwide
organizations to investigate the potential for deployment and development of Carbon Capture
and Storage (CCS) in Indonesia, which offers great potential for reducing CO2 emissions from
large point source emitters, such as coal-fired power plants and oil and gas processing plants.
2.1.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
Indonesian oil and gas reserves status on 1 January 2010, taken as the aggregate of
proven and potential reserves is 7,764 million barrel of oil and 157 trillion cubic feet of gas.
Almost all of the oil fields in Indonesia have been at the highest peak production and
now are in a decreasing condition. To increase the oil production, the government is trying
increasing oil recovery from brown fields. Some efforts which are being carried out include
improving production tools reliability to decrease unplanned shutdown, increasing operational
efficiency, and optimizing production facility, infill drilling, and EOR implementation.
To accelerate development of EOR, the Executive Agency for upstream Oil and Gas
Business Activities (BPMIGAS) asked all Production Sharing Contract Contractor(s)
(KKKS), who have been producing, to implement EOR. For example, Chevron Pacific
Indonesia will process Minas Field for chemicals, Medco will implement EOR in KajiSemoga Field, and also Pertamina E&P in Tanjung Field. The Minas and Kaji chemical pilot
tests will be carried out within this year.
The success of EOR technology implementation is quite considerable remembering that
recently the remaining oil in-place in Indonesia was still about 44,938 million barrels. If EOR
succeeds in increasing the recovery factor by 10 %, then there will be additional reserves of
about 4, 494 million barrels. This addition is a little more than the 2011 national proven oil
reserves.
Indonesias gas production has grown at an average annual rate of about 1.5% over the
last decade. In 2011, Indonesia produced 3.1 trillion cubic feet of gas. An increasingly large
majority of Indonesias gas production has come from non-associated fields in recent years,
with associated gas accounting for about 14% of gross production in 2011. The most
significant areas for current natural gas production are:
East Kalimantans offshore fields, particularly the Mahakam PSCs operated by Total
South Sumatera, particularly the onshore Corridor PSC operated by Conoco Philips
South Natuna Sea, offshore Block B operated by Conoco Philips
Papu, the offshore Muturai and Berau PSCs operated by BP
The development of gas dominates the oil and gas projects in Indonesia during the
period 2012 through 2014. The production design capacity for those projects is 1,068 million
cubic feet of gas per day, 175,150 barrel of oil per day. Those projects are listed in Table 2.

In finding oil and gas reserves, exploration consisting seismic survey and exploration
drilling is undertaken. In 2011, exploration drilling was done in 99 wells of 237 planned
wells. The number of development wells reached 905 higher than programmed of 895 wells as
shown in Figure 6. Recently, it is noted that KKKS operating in Indonesia is 256 KKKS, in
which 67 KKKS are in production, while 157 KKKS are in exploration and 50 KKKS are
CBM.
In the last 3 years, the bidding for oil and gas working areas tends to decrease due to
lack of good quality data. To encourage investors to be interested in developing oil and gas in
Indonesia, the government has to try to improve such data, especially survey and seismic data
quality. To address this issue, a workshop organized by the Geological Agency of Ministry of
Energy and Mineral Resources was held on June 2011 to set up a Road Map for Upstream
Exploration of Oil and Gas.
CBM exploration and development has intensified in Indonesia in recent years,
particularly since the first Production Sharing Contracts were awarded in 2008. At the same
time gas prices have risen sharply, to $11/Mcf in Central Sumatra and $15/Mcf in East
Kalimantan. (Note that gas prices are 5 to 10 times higher than in North America.)
In March 2011 BP and ENI (VICO) established the countrys first commercial CBM
production, exporting liquefied natural gas from the under-utilized Bontang liquefaction
facility to the high-priced north Asia markets. This project established the worlds first export
of CBM-to-LNG, several years ahead of the Australian plants under construction. ENI
estimated CBM production could reach 420 MMcfd by 2020 from their 13-Tcf block.
ExxonMobil, TOTAL, Dart Energy, and Santos also are testing CBM PSCs, some quite close
to CBM Asias interests. To date, there are 52 active CBM Production Sharing Contracts
across 11 different basins. Figure 1 depicts Indonesias CBM contract area map as of August
2011.
Indonesia is developing unconventional gas (that is shale gas) besides CBM. Indonesian
shale gas potency is predicted at around 574 TSCF. It is bigger than CBM, which is about 453
TSCF. Shale gas is gas generated from shale rock fragments or a place in which natural gas is
formed. The process needed to change shale rock to becoming gas is about 5 years. The

CCOP Member Country Report: INDONESIA

government now is compiling rules of law for shale gas development. Shale gas development
is a matter previously never considered. However, by technology advance, this can now be
developed. Based on identification result held by the government, there are 7 basins in
Indonesia containing shale gas. The most basins are in Sumatera, namely Baong Shale, Telisa
Shale, and Gumai Shale. While in Java Island and Kalimantan, shale gas is in 2 basins each.
In Papua it is in the Klasafet formation. Up to now, the government has accepted the proposal
of joint studies of shale gas from many investors.
The expanded use of coal for power generation will significantly increase emission of
CO2. With regard to this, it is imperative for Indonesia to investigate options for Carbon
Capture and Storage (CCS) in order to achieve the CO2 emissions abatement target for 2020.
Deployment and development of CCS in Indonesia is also enabling development of highly
contaminated gas fields as, for instance, Natuna D Alpha.
To anticipate the implementation of CCS technology in Indonesia, LEMIGAS has
initiated development of a short-term R&D Roadmap. Last year, LEMIGAS has been
successfully mapping potential geological formations for CO2 storage across the country
along with their storage capacity. LEMIGAS has also identified large stationary CO2 sources
in Indonesia. Another assessment was focused on CO2 management of low-rank coal
utilization in South Sumatera and East Kalimantan.
Since CCS requires extensive funding, international support from worldwide
organizations, such as IEA or ADB, plays an important role in funding CCS activities in
Indonesia. With regard to this, the government of Indonesia is open for any kind of mutual
cooperation for the benefit of both. An international workshop on Determining the Potential
for Carbon Capture and Storage in Southeast Asia, organized jointly by Research and
Development Center for Oil and Gas Technology LEMIGAS and Asia Development Bank
(ADB), was held in Jakarta, 25 April 2012.
2.1.3. Proposed Future Activities
The growing fossil-fuel needs overshadowed by the decline of oil and gas production
and the threat of disruptive climate change are major challenges in the energy sector. Key
areas for international collaboration to address these issues are:
Sharing best practice and lessons learnt in finding oil and gas in remote areas, such as
the deep sea.
Sharing best practice and lessons learnt from oil and gas brown fields development to
maximaise recovery.
Sharing best practices and lessons learnt from CCS projects in conjunction with EOR
or enhanced gas recovery (EGR).
Sharing best practices and lessons learnt in developing unconventional hydrocarbon
resources, such as coalbed methane and shale gas.
Continuously enhance collaboration to improve better understanding of CCS
technologies.

GEOTHERMAL

2.2.1. Summary
Indonesia is a country that has abundant geothermal resources. They are mainly
distributed along the Indonesian Volcanic Belts, however some are also associated with non
volcanic environments (plutonic, sedimentray and tectonics). By December 2011, there were
285 geothermal locations with the total energy potential of about 29,215 MWe. These include
8,231 MWe of Speculative Resources, 4,964 MWe of Hypothetical Resources, 12,909 MWe
of Possible Reserves, 823 MWe Probable Reserves and 2288 MWe of Proven Reserve. As of
July 2012, thirty five (35) new working areas (WKP) have been issued by the Government,
12 WKP finish tender, 12 in bidding process, and 7 ready to bid. These areas include Jaboi
(NAD), Seulawah Agam (NAD), Gunung Talang (West Sumatera), Bukit Kili (West
Sumatera), Liki-Pinangawan-Muaralabuh (West Sumatera), Sipaholon-Ria (North Sumatera),
Sorik Marapi-Roburan-Sampuraga (North Sumatera), Rantau Dadap (South Sumatera),

(Sumatera Barat), Mataloko (NTT), Gunung Ciremai (Jawa Barat), and Gunung Endut
(Banten), Bora-Pulu (Central Sulawesi), Telomoyo (Central Java), Way Ratai (Lampung) and
Simbolon-Samosir (North Sumatera).
Indonesia has a set of long term policies for development of geothermal energy, as
embodied in the Geothermal Development Road Map of 2004-2025. Indonesia envisions that
by 2025, about five percent of our national energy needs will be met through the use of
geothermal energy. So far, Indonesia only used 1,226 MWe at 7 locations of the available
resources. This total installed capacity is less than 4 % of the total potential. These include
387 MWe in G. Salak, 200 MWe in Kamojang, 260 MWe in Darajat, 227 MWe in Wayang
Windu, 60 MWe in Dieng, 80 MWe in Lahendong, and 12 MWe in Sibayak.
2.2.2.

Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities

The geothermal locations are still mainlyl in the stage of inventory survey (157
locations or 53,09%). To increase the status of survey and to accelerate geothermal
development, in 2012 Geological Agency is conducting preliminary surveys, detailed surveys,
heat flow surveys, and core hole temperature surveys. Preliminary Survey is conducted at 3
locations: Boalemo and Pohuwatu (Gorontalo), Mamuju (West Sulawesi), Bangka (Bangka
Belitung). Detailed Survey is conducted at 6 locations: Simisioh (West Sumatera), TaluTombang (West Sumatera), Wai Umpu (Lampung and South Sumatera), Kawende (Central
Sulawesi), Kadidia (Central Sulawesi) and G. Batur-Kintamani (Bali). Magnetotelluric survey
is conducted at 6 locations: Bittuang (South Sulawesi), Suwawa (Gorontalo), Talu TombangCubadak (West Sumatera), Kawende-Maranda (Central Sulawesi), Kadidia (Central Sulawesi)
and Wapsalit (Maluku). Heat Flow Survey is conducted at 3 locations: Bittuang-Tana Toraja
(South Sulawesi), Suwawa (Gorontalo), Lompi-Tambu (Central Sulawesi). Core hole
temperature survey is conducted at 2 locations: Lainea (Southeast Sulawesi) and Bukit KiliGunung Talang (west Sumatera). Kepahiang (Bengkulu) and Bora (Central Sulawesi). Beside
the survey activities, we evaluate 5 geothermal prospect areas (Bora Pulu-Central Sulawesi,
Arjuno Welirang-East Java, Telomoyo-West Java, Kepahiang-Bengkulu, Gunung LawuCentral Java) and examine the characteristic of non volcanic geothermal resources in South
Sulawesi and Classification and Calculation of Potential of geothermal energy in Indonesia.

CCOP Member Country Report: INDONESIA

Also we conduct monitoring of exploration wells in Mataloko geothermal field in East Nusa
Tenggara.
The Geological Agency also had joint cooperation during fiscal year 2012 with the
Japanese goverment (JICA) in Capacity Building for Enhancement of the Geothermal
Exploration Technologies, with Indonesia University in geophysical study of geothermal
resources, and Gadjah Mada University in evaluation of geothermal prospect areas.
The Record of Discussions between Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)
and Government of Republic of Indonesia for the successful implementation of the Project for
Capacity Building for Enhancement of the Geothermal Exploration Technologies was signed
in Jakarta, Indonesia on July 7, 2010.
2.3.

COAL

2.3.1. Summary
During 2011, Geological Agency has proposed 30 commercial mining business areas
(WUP) for coal in Sumatera, Kalimantan dan Papua and 4 working areas (WK) for CBM in
Jambi, South Sumatera and South Kalimantan. For the past few decades, coal has acted as a
buffer for conventional oil and gas that contribute to Indonesian energy demand and exports.
Coal bed methane (CBM) and oil shale are the two alternative energy sources that have been
considered as anticipated energy sources that are able to meet Indonesian energy demands in
the future and their potential in Indonesia is continuosly revealed by several preliminary
surveys and by drilling exploration conducted by Geological Agency.
Resources and reserves of fossil energy comodities continue to change with the
exploration and production activities of existing companies. Many private enterprises as well
as state-owned coal companies (PT. Bukit Asam) based in Kalimantan and South Sumatera
are still the largest contributors of coal resources, reserves and production in Indonesia.
Total resources and reserves of fossil energy in Indonesia until 2011 is described in
table 3 (data source: Geological Agency).

2.3.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities


During the mid-late 2010 until mid-early 2012, Geological Agency as a government
institution in charge of doing an inventory and exploration of fossil energy resources in the
provision of preliminary data have been conducting an investigation in some selected areas
with different types of fossil energy commodities such as coal, coal bed methane (CBM) and
oil shale.
Coal inventory and preliminary survey was focused in some of Indonesias frontier
areas such as in eastern Indonesia, tiny island and national border areas. The coal inventory of
Papua concluded that coal was found in young formations (Neogene). In Kaimana, West
Papua Province, the coal-bearing formation is Miocene Steenkool Formation. Coal seams with
thickness less than 1 m have medium calorivic value (5951 - 6017 cal/g). In Waropko, Papua

CCOP Member Country Report: INDONESIA

Province, the coal-bearing formation is the Holo-Pleistocene Awin Formation. Coal with
thickness up to 1,5 m has low calorivic value. Small occurences of coal were also found in
some tiny islands in North Mollucas Province. In Taliabu Island, Jurassic coal was found
forming several seams categorized as lignitic to sub bituminous coal. Meanwhile, in South
Halmahera, lensoid coal seams of Middle Miocene age have low calorific value. Coal
inventory in Indonesia-Malaysia border areas were conducted in Nanga Seran, Long Pupung
and Sungai Apan. These activities concluded that coal in those areas, regardless of thickness,
is of good quality (high-very high rank coal) and varies in age (Cretaceous to Miocene)
Inferred resources were obtained by systematic coal drilling that was conducted in two
areas in Tebo Regency, Jambi Province (Muara Kilis and Muara Tebo) in order to get
prospecting areas and complete the national coal database in South Sumatera basin,
particularly. Those activities was conducted in the Muaraenim Formation and revealed that
coal formed several seams with high variety of thickness (up to 8,85 m) and belongs to lowhigh rank coal categories.
CBM exploration drilling was conducted in 3 main coal basins in Indonesia, namely
Ombilin Basin, South Sumatera Basin and Barito Basin. CBM Exploration drilling in
Sawahlunto (Sawahlunto Formation) with total depth 428,65 m revealed 6 coal seams
classified as low-very high rank coal. Based on gas content and composition measurement,
total methane resources is 0,604 bcf from 111 ha area investigation. CBM exploration in
Lahat (South Sumatera Basin) and Balangan (Barito Basin) is being conducted and some of
laboratory analyses for gas content and quality determination are still in progress.
The preliminary oil shale survey is conducted in several areas of interest in Indonesia,
mainly in frontier basins such as Sibolga Basin, Melawi Basin and eastern Indonesia (Maluku
Island and Papua Province).

GEO-ENVIRONMENT SECTOR
4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME
4.1. Summary
During the period 2010 to 2012, the Marine Geological Research and Development
Center has conducted coastal zone and marine geological and geophysical surveys in several
areas such as: 1). Pulau Laut, Natuna, Riau Provine 2). East Coast of Bunguran Island,
Natuna, Riau Province. 3).Cilacap coast, Central Java Province and 4). Senunu Bay, south of
Big Sumbawa, Nusa Tenggara Barat Province, and 5). Rote island East Nusa Tenggara
Province.
The aims of the study are 1. To obtain coastal geological information with emphasis on
studies of the type and physical properties of lithology, relief and shoreline characteristics; 2.
Undertake sea-floor sediment sampling by using a gravity corer and grab sampler for mineral
resource exploration. 3. To carry out the bathymetric survey of sea floor morphology; 4.
Undertake single channel seismic reflection surveys for seismic sequence stratigraphic and
geological structure studies.
4.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
Thematic coastal zone survey and its resources management in Indonesia are being
carried out by the Marine Geological Research and Development Center. These projects e
coincide with the Planning and Development of Local Government, especially along the
coastline and its surroundings and also for mineral resources development within the coastal
zone. The main results of the project activities were as follows:
4.2.1.

Pulau Laut, Natuna, Riau Province

The study area is located at Natuna Archipelago, Riau Provines. The aim of the study is
to determine the potential of alternate energy and mineral resources, coastal processes and
characteristic of the islands, coastal environments and geological hazards. The bathymetric
data of P. Laut show that the morphology is very deep until close to (100 m) the island but in

14

CCOP Member Country Report: INDONESIA

the northern part of P. Laut and in the southeastern part is shallow due to coral reef occupying
the area.
Coastal processes and characteristics of P. Laut can be divided into 3 parts such as:
sandy beach; mangrove beach; and cliff beach. Sandy beach can be found in the eastern part
and southern part of P. Laut. The color of sands is yellowish white with size from fine grained
to coarse grained and poorly sorted. Sand is dominated by biogenic debris from reef
limestone. Mangrove beach is located in the southeastern part of P. Laut. The cliffs consist of
stones and are located in the western part of P. Laut.
4.2.2.

East Coast of Bunguran Island, Natuna, Riau Province.

The result of the survey in Bunguran island, Riau Province, includes bathymetric data
seismic reflection profiles, sea floor sediment and oceanographic parameters such as wave
measurements and tide gauge readings. Also, the coastal characteristics of the study area were
mapped.
Based on the sediment samples that were taken from around Bunguran Island, the sea
floor sediment types can be divided into four such as: sand, sandy silt, gravelly sand and
slightly gravelly sand. Generally the distribution of sea floor sediment in Bunguran Island is
dominated by silty sand located near the coral reef. Sand can be found locally along the coast
of Bunguran Island.
The coastal characteristic of the study area is dominantly sandy beach and rocky sand,
with mangroves in some places.
4.2.3.

Cilacap Coast, Central Java Province

Cilacap is located in the southern part of Central Java and close to Nusa Kambangan
Island. The aim of the survey of this area is to conduct a coastal geological survey in relation
to geological hazards for the Pertamina UP IV harbor . The results of the survey are as
follows:
Seismic reflection profile data show the river channel of the Donan River and thick
sedimentation around Nusa Kambangan.
Bathymetric data show the morphology to be very steep close to the coastline and Nusa
Kambangan Strait and becoming gradually flatter seaward at 21 m water depth.
Base on the data of coastal characteristics; the area is dominated by sand and gravelly
sand. Rock and conglomerate is found in some places on the eastern coast of Cilacap.
Based on 33 samples of sea floor sediment, the distribution of sediment in the area can
be divided into 5 types such as sand, silty sand, sandy silt, gravelly sand and muddy sand.
4.2.4.

Senunu Bay, south of Big Sumbawa, Nusa Tenggara Barat Province.

Senunu bay is located in the southern part of Sumbawa, Nusa Tenggara Barat. Based on
mapping along the coast of Senunu, the coastline of the area is dominated by sands which
contain biogenic material from coral reef. The color of sand is white and light brown. Some
fine sands with iron sands are also found on the Senunu coast.
Based on analyses of 20 samples, the sea floor sediment is dominated by sand. The
color of sand is white grey; it is fine grained and contains quartz as well as gravel from the
coral reef.

CCOP Member Country Report: INDONESIA

The bathymetric survey of the study area shows a relatively flat topography with depth
between 20 m to 100 m, becoming very steep from 100m to 500 m depth. The area of steep
morphology becomes an area of tailings from PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara. Based on the
side scan sonar survey, the tailing pipes from PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara can be seen to
comprise 3 pipes at the depth of 60 m, 100 m and 116 m with lengths from 2650 meter to
3100 meters.
4.2.5.

Rote Island, East Nusa Tenggara Province

Rote Island is located of the southwestern coast of Timor Island. The aim of this survey
is to understand, for local development, the coastal environment in Rote Island. Seafloor
sediment consist of silty sand, sand and reef. Sand is distributed over almost the entire study
area (80%). Silty sand is located in the middle of the study area. Reef is located along the
coast of the study area.
Based on Coastal characteristic mapping, the study area can be divided into 3 parts such
as: 1. Rocky coast. 2. Sand pocket coast. 3. Gravelly coast.
Based on seismic reflection profile interpretation, the coastal terraces and shale diaper in
the study area result from by tectonism. Seafloor morphology shows that the study area is
characterized by undulating morphology.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY PROGRAMME


6.1.

Summary

Rapid physical development in the Indonesian region, as reflected in more widely builtup areas and the increase the amount of provincial, regency, and municipality development,
has caused a number of problems related to spatial planning and environmental management,
such as land-use conflict, environmental degradation, and increased needs of geological
resources. One attempt, amongst others, to solve such problems is through the supply of geoenvironmental information. In the period between July 2010 and July 2012 the Geological
Agency has carried out inventory and investigation activities related to the geo-environment
in several provinces in Indonesia. The activities include:
-

Geo-environment for urban and regional spatial planning


Geo-environment for monitoring of geological hazards
Geo-environment for geological conservation
Geo-environment for waste disposal site selection
Geo-environment for flood mitigation
Geo-environment for mining areas

6.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities


a. Geo-environment for urban and regional spatial planning
Urban and regional environmental geology investigation is aimed to provide
information dealing with the environmental geology characteristics in an area which can be
used as a reference for urban and regional spatial planning. Environmental geology
information has the benefit that it shows supporting and constraining environmental factors
for urban and regional development, therefore land use planning may not exceed its bearing
capacity. The geo-environment for urban and regional planning investigation activities covers
the area of:
-

Bali Province
East Java Province
Southeast Sulawesi Province
Aceh Province
Central Sulawesi Province
West Sumatera Province
East Nusatenggara Province
North Sumatera Province
Lombok Island, West Nusatenggara Province
Tembilahan Urban City, Riau Province
Northern Part of Bandung Area, West Java Province
Western Part of Bandung Areas, West Java Province
Kendal District, East Java Province
Kutai Kertanegara, East Kalimantan Province

b. Geo-environment for monitoring of geological hazards


The activity for post geological hazards monitoring lays emphasis on the spatial
function changes due to environmental geological degradation. The information provided
may support utilization of the geological environment, spatial planning, and environmental
management. The activity is carried out in the area of Sidoarjo mud volcano, East Java
Province and post Merapi volcano eruption, Jogyakarta Province. Also Monitoring of
subsidence at Semarang City, Central Java Province.
c. Geo-environment for geological conservation
Investigation of the geo-environment for geological conservation is done through
identification and analysis of environmental geological conditions that have unique, beautiful,
and rare geological morphology. The information may be utilized in conserving geological
phenomena that in the future may be promoted as a geological conservation area. The aims of
this activity are to conserve natural resources of geological phenomena and maintain a
balanced ecosystem. Such areas may be expected to support an increase in community
prosperity . The activity includes inventory of geological heritage and karstic areas. The
inventory covers the areas of:
-

Central Java Province


East Java Province
West Java Province
Jambi Province
Indentification of Karst area in The Banyuwangi District, East Java Province
Geodiversity Inventaritation of Raja Ampat Distric, West Papua Province
Identification of Karst area in the Sukabumi Distric, West Java Province

d. Geo-environment for waste disposal site selection


The most important aspect of a municipal waste disposal facility is the site.
Establishment of a waste disposal site needs an appropriate environmental analysis to prevent
health and aesthetical problems and environmental pollution. Among these, it requires
environmental geological consideration in site selection. The study area for waste disposal
site selection as a pilot area is Pagar Alam, South Sumatera Province.
e. Geo-environment for flood mitigation
The activity of geo-environment for flood mitigation is carried out in the South
Bandung area and is focused to identify physical characteristics of the study area. It includes
identification of land use and land use changes, surficial materials, groundwater infiltration
capacity, surface run off, erosion, sedimentation, and river morphology. The result of this
investigation is expected to be useful for evaluation of South Bandung flooding phenomena.
f. Geo-environment for mining areas
The objective of this activity is to provide data on mineral resources, either those being
mined or likely for future development, as well as their geological environments. The activity
also identifies and evaluates the environmental impact of the mining activity and also provides
guidance for environmental management that includes good mining practice and post mining
rehabilitation. The activity covers the areas of:

Recently, the Geological Agency, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Indonesia
and Minerals and Geoscience Department, Malaysia had been enhancing their closer
relationship in the field of geology. A similar understanding that geology is not limited by
political borders and of the importance of cooperation projects in geology and mineral
resources is implied in the relevant Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). In the MoU, both
countries had agreed to obtain and explore more bilateral benefit pertaining to geological
resources through cooperation between two countries.
7.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
In order to determine the strategy for utilising the countrys natural resources optimally,
Indonesia has a need and the requirement to produce geological information in the form of a
medium scale geological map. Within this context, the CGS have to conduct further mapping
in the 1:50,000 scale map series. The objectives are to undertake geological mapping and
compilation of 1:50,000 scale geological maps derived from lithological and stratigraphic
investigations, and structural maps at 1:100,000 scale (Java & Madura islands) and 1:250,000
scale (other islands), by using Remote Sensing Techniques and GIS. The production of a
series of 1:50,000 scale map of the entire country will consist of a total of 3612 sheets. It
aimed towards developing and implementing methodologies for using Landsat +7 ETM,

correlation working group agreed to correlate the geology of Sintang-Silantek in 2011-2012
and Serudung-Nunukan in 2012-2013. Until today the project was successfully executed with
country field work and joint field work activity. The first joint field work had been conducted
covering the geology of Lubok Antu area (Sarawak) in 26-28 July 2011. The second joint
field work for this working group will be conducted in Badau area at the end of October 2011.
The Mineral and Energy Resources Working Group activity conducted joint field work
around the border of Indonesia-Malaysia in the Sarawak area. The similar understanding of
mineral resources occurrence in the border area has built on this activity.
Most of the Indonesia area is an unstable geological area. The country is believed to
have more experience in hazard mitigation. Both parties, Indonesia and Malaysia, agreed to
conduct some geohazard mitigation training. Geohazard working group activity was focused
on sharing knowledge in hazard management, especially in earthquake and landslide
mitigation. Some meetings and field activities were conducted in relation with this working
group.
The Groundwater, Environmental Geology and Geoheritage Working Group is also
focusing activity on sharing experience and on training programs. Hydrogeological
investigation of Sebatik area was agreed to be a priority for working group activity. The
project will cover hydrogeological investigation, satellite image interpretation, groundwater,
laboratory work, data processing and groundwater modeling. Another project is Geopark
development in both countries. Some proposed potential Geopark candidates will be proposed
and discussed.
