Overview

Geophysical analysis reveals sedimentation influences on reservoir quality in offshore Sulawesi, suggesting new exploration targets.

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate the sedimentation processes and reservoir characteristics in offshore Sulawesi.
  • Conducted geophysical bathymetric surveys
  • Acquired piston core samples to analyze sediment layers
  • Combined analysis of bathymetry, seismic data, and core samples
  • Identified major contourite-dominated areas and their sediment characteristics
  • Three major contourite-dominated areas were identified in offshore Sulawesi.
  • Sedimentation is significantly affected by deep- and bottom-water circulation.
  • Findings enhance understanding of sedimentation processes for hydrocarbon exploration.
  • Insights suggest potential reservoir quality for carbon storage in mixed systems.
