ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA (documents CCOP-50AS/1-1, 1-2) The Provisional Agenda for the meeting was adopted with two additional items on Agenda 10. Other Matters as follows: (ANNEX III). • Signing of Memorandum of Agreement between CCOP TS and the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate under the CCS-M Programme • Announcement for the 8th International Conference on Asian Marine Geology by KIGAM Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 2 CCOP Technical Secretariat Kokopo, Papua New Guinea, 20-24 October 2014 2. CCOP PROGRESS REPORT (document CCOP-63SC/3-4, CCOP-62SC/2-3, CCOP-50AS/2-3) The CCOP Progress Report started by a presentation of the updates of the CCOP CO2 Storage Mapping Program (CCS-M) by its Project Coordinator, Mr Simplicio Caluyong. Dr Adichat Surinkum, Director of the CCOP Technical Secretariat, summarized the Progress Report of CCOP (ANNEX IV) including organizational changes (personnel), the current financial situation, technical activities and cooperation and support from Cooperating Countries and Organizations during the year 2013 with emphasis on the progress during January to June 2014. The Representative of Germany appreciated the efforts of the CCOP TS for having compiled a table summarizing the EAGER awards given for 2003 until 2013. She noted that the summary indicated, among others, the difference of candidates and ideas that were supported. It demonstrates the wide diversity and the success of the EAGER award. Hopefully, this will stimulate nominations of candidates for the award for the next annual sessions. 3. MEMBER COUNTRIES’ REPORTS (documents CCOP-50AS/3-4 to 3-15) Member Countries had filed their written reports prior to the commencement of the Annual Session. The Member Countries’ reports are reproduced in full in ANNEX V. Under this agenda item, Member Country delegations were encouraged to give brief oral presentations of the highlights of their respective reports rather than detailed reproductions of the written report. Additional verbal comments and questions on the verbal presentations are noted below: JAPAN With regards to remote sensing and satellite images, an observer from PNG inquired whether or not CCOP has seriously considered an international standard on the zoning resolution to be in compliance with each Member Country, especially when special consideration is given to the national security requirements on Geo-Resources information database for each country, e.g. PNG where non-renewable resources is abundant. In reply, CCOP TS Director remarked that mostly, there’s no specific international standard used, it depends on the participating countries’ requirements in the implementation of a certain project. Japan commented that their Government supplies satellite images called ASTER together with NASA for 15 years and that the Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ), AIST archived all the images. Japan informed that if any of the Member Countries need support concerning these images, GSJ could be contacted. Proceedings of the 50 th CCOP Annual Session 3 CCOP Technical Secretariat Kokopo, Papua New Guinea, 20-24 October 2014 4. COOPERATING COUNTRIES’ AND ORGANIZATIONS’ REPORTS (documents CCOP-50AS/4-17 to 4-27) Written reports were filed prior to the meeting and are reproduced in ANNEX VI. Additional comments following verbal presentation are given below: Vietnam expressed sincere thanks for the assistance and cooperation / support of Denmark for the ENRECA Project and Finland for the VIETADAPT Project. Vietnam extended an invitation to the CCOP TS and Member Countries to attend the ENRECA Concluding Conference on 21 November 2014 in Hanoi. The Netherlands In his presentation, the representative from the Netherlands informed about a proposed International Roundtable Meeting on Subsidence, with the aim to bring together scientists and policymakers from different cities in a discussion event and share experiences and start exchange of knowledge. He invited CCOP members to suggest people who should be invited for this event (International and Regional experts) and encouraged to make contact during the AS in Kokopo or later by email to suggest names. Korea expressed thanks for the Netherland’s presentation of subsidence project in Jakarta. Korea has special interest on subsidence issues in urban areas. They inquired whether the project includes the sinkhole (subsidence) issue caused by the man-made subsidence or mainly focused on the subsidence caused by pure geological phenomena. In reply, the Representative of Netherlands confirmed that the subsidence probably was a result of a combination of pure geological phenomena and man-made activities (extensive use of ground water). Indonesia thanked Denmark for the DANIDA Project for gold and minerals research in Indonesia; Norway for the CCS-M Program; and particularly, The Netherlands for the support of what is called “Giant Sea Wall” in Jakarta. Indonesia appreciates all the support from the Cooperating Countries and Organizations, and hopes for continuous cooperation for the benefit of Indonesia and other Member Countries. 5. PROPOSED CCOP WORKPLAN FOR 2015 (document CCOP-50AS/5-27) The Director of CCOP TS presented the Work Plan for 2015 for the information of the Session (ANNEX VII). This workplan will be submitted for approval by the 63rd CCOP Steering Committee Meeting to be held right after this Annual Session.

ARMSTRONG Research School of Earth Sciences, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, Australia D. O’REILLY School of Archaeology and Anthropology, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, Australia Strontium (Sr) isotope ratios (87Sr/86Sr) measured in human skeletal material can increase one’s understanding of the residential behaviour and resource-acquisition strategies of past populations. The paper maps bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr variation in 183 plant and soil samples across Cambodia. Bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr, as measured in plants, differs significantly between four major geological units. The data set will support future investigations of skeletal material from Cambodian archaeological sites. Baseline 87Sr/86Sr data should be applied judiciously to skeletal populations, and in concert with other lines of evidence, to identify potential geo- graphical outliers rather than to ascribe specific locations from which individuals may have moved. KEYWORDS: CAMBODIA, STRONTIUM ISOTOPES, BASELINE MAP, PALEOMOBILITY INTRODUCTION Cambodia has long held archaeological interest (Corre 1879; Mansuy 1902; Mourer 1994), where the primary focus has been on the rise and fall of the Khmer Empire centred on Angkor (Fletcher et al. 2006). Much of what is known about the Angkorian civilization is derived from the magnificent religious monuments, artworks and inscriptions, and, in recent years, from the exquisitely detailed record of landscape modification obtained from high-resolution airborne la- ser scanning technology (Evans and Fletcher 2015; Evans 2016; O’Reilly et al.

  • Translating 2D Seismic to New Oil and Gas Resources Kathleen Dorey Petrel Robertson Consulting Ltd
    Translating 2D Seismic to New Oil and Gas Resources Kathleen Dorey Petrel Robertson Consulting Ltd. Summary Considering the challenging times in the Canadian Oil and Gas industry for the geophysical profession, this talk will highlight the successful and value added application of geophysical processing and interpretation on behalf of a Canadian oil and gas company in Southeast Asia. The work processes will be outlined and the economic value they add will be highlighted throughout the presentation. In addition, the newly identified oil and gas resources will be quantified which, in the future, may trigger the beginning of hydrocarbon independence for that country. Introduction The relevant geology, stratigraphy and structural regimes will be presented as a backdrop to the geophysical reprocessing, mapping and analysis of recently generated prospects over a Laos oil and gas concession. The closest production is from the SinPhaHorn gas field to the west on the Thailand side of the basin. The field was discovered in 1983 and currently produces 90 Mmcf/day. A total of 2600 km of 2D legacy seismic lines have been acquired over the concession area covering 2.9 million acres and have been integrated into the interpretation and mapping. Method Following initial 2D seismic mapping with limited amounts of historical data, additional 1990’s seismic data was obtained from the local government. In 2015 modern processing techniques and innovative field survey reconstructions including crooked line geometry, advanced noise attenuation, manual first break picks, advanced tomography, pre-stack time migration and spectral balancing were then applied to the dataset to delineate earlier identified prospects.

    GW-6 Geological Survey of Japan, AIST Project Report of the CCOP-GSJ/AIST-NAWAPI Groundwater Phase III Meeting 16-18 March 2016, Hanoi, Vietnam COORDINATING COMMITTEE FOR GEOSCIENCE PROGRAMMES IN EAST AND SOUTHEAST ASIA (CCOP) In cooperation with GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF JAPAN (GSJ), AIST Published by CCOP Technical Secretariat Bangkok, Thailand Youhei Uchida (Chief Editor) PREFACE The CCOP-GSJ/AIST-NAWAPI Groundwater Project Phase III Meeting was held on 16-18 March 2016, in Hanoi, Vietnam. It was attended by nineteen participants from Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and the CCOP Technical Secretariat. In the meeting, participants confirmed progress of the project from February 2015 to March 2016, and discussed work plan for 2016 by three group discussions. Each CCOP Member Country made a country presentation on the topic, “Recent Groundwater Issues and Their Action Study”. Since the current groundwater problem varies from one CCOP member country to another because of various hydrogeological and geographical settings, each Member Country should share the information for efficient groundwater management in the CCOP regions. This is the publication which was compiled each country report presented in the CCOP-GSJ/AIST-NAWAPI Groundwater Phase III Meeting. These reports have made clear the resent groundwater issues in each Member Country and cooperation policy of Phase III project, and will conduct outcome of the GW Phase III Project. I believe we will be able to have some solutions about not only groundwater management but also energy problem in the CCOP member countries. I am very grateful to the authors for their invaluable contributions and to the Organizations to which the authors belong for their permission to publish those important reports.

The results of the screening and ranking procedure indicate that the Khmer Basin is the most suitable basin, followed by the Kampong Saom and Tonle Sap basins. A quantitative volumetric assessment-based evaluation of CO2 storage capacity is performed on these three suitable basins. The evaluation yields a range in the national CO2 storage capacity of 90 Mt (in structural traps) to 45 Gt (in hydrodynamic traps), representing low- and high-case estimates, respectively. The saline aquifers associated with this storage capacity should be considered prospective storage options as hydrodynamic traps because of containment and capacity issues associated with the structural traps. Eight major point sources of CO2 are identified that have a combined output (estimated for 2008–2024) of 43.1 Mt annually and 82 billion m3 in place, and the potentially-prospective matched storage capacity is assumed.
