ABSTRACT
Asri basin is known as proven oil productive basin since Intan field discovery in 1987. The main
exploration and exploitation effort was made on relatively shallow Gita and upper Zelda formation for
more than 20 years. However only few of publications was made discussing early basin fill in the Asri
basin and it’s well known Banuwati lacustrine shale source rocks.
Seismic facies map of early basin fill facies study was done based on 2D seismic interpretation to identify
the general boundary of lateral distribution of the defined facies so called “A”, ”D”, “H”, “M” type facies
(in alphabetical order). They were calibrated by four well which was drilled penetrate Banuwati formation
trough basement in the flank and around Asri depocenter. Two of wells found very good source rock
quality with TOC content around 1.6 to 3.7 %weight correlate with type “A” and “H” facies. Others two
found the Banuwati formation with different kind of shale (“D” and “M” type facies).
The collaborated well log-seismic facies map suggests the sedimentation of Asri basin early fill relatively
was in alluvial-fluvial setting with north-south sediment transport direction. Locally, additional sediment
transports coming from west to east in the west flank and some alluvial fan and/or slump come from the
east flank side. FMI interpretation also suggests that the source of deposition is coming from these
directions.
As the result, Banuwati Coarse Clastic member divided into alluvial fan facies in the eastern part, braided
stream deposits facies in the central depocenter, fluvial and alluvial facies in the eastern part (distal part of
alluvial fan), and floodplain and abandonment facies on the western part of the basin.
The lacustrine source rocks was deposited in transgressed event, right after deposition of alluvial/fluvial
sedimentation formed relatively big lake environment covering all the Asri basin depocenter far away to
its flank.
