  • “Fractured Basement” Play in the Sabah Basin? – the Crocker and Kudat Formations As Hydrocarbon Reservoirs and Their Risk Factors Mazlan Madon1,*, Franz L
    Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia, Volume 69, May 2020, pp. 157 - 171 DOI: https://doi.org/10.7186/bgsm69202014 “Fractured basement” play in the Sabah Basin? – the Crocker and Kudat formations as hydrocarbon reservoirs and their risk factors Mazlan Madon1,*, Franz L. Kessler2, John Jong3, Mohd Khairil Azrafy Amin4 1 Advisor, Malaysian Continental Shelf Project, National Security Council, Malaysia 2 Goldbach Geoconsultants O&G and Lithium Exploration, Germany 3 A26-05, One Residences, 6 Jalan Satu, Chan Sow Lin, KL, Malaysia 4 Malaysia Petroleum Management, PETRONAS, Malaysia * Corresponding author email address: [email protected] Abstract: Exploration activities in the Sabah Basin, offshore western Sabah, had increased tremendously since the discovery of oil and gas fields in the deepwater area during the early 2000s. However, the discovery rates in the shelfal area have decreased over the years, indicating that the Inboard Belt of the Sabah Basin may be approaching exploration maturity. Thus, investigation of new play concepts is needed to spur new exploration activity on the Sabah shelf. The sedimentary formations below the Deep Regional Unconformity in the Sabah Basin are generally considered part of the economic basement which is seismically opaque in seismic sections. Stratigraphically, they are assigned to the offshore Sabah “Stages” I, II, and III which are believed to be the lateral equivalents of the pre-Middle Miocene clastic formations outcropping in western Sabah, such as the Crocker and Kudat formations and some surface hydrocarbon seeps have been reported from Klias and Kudat peninsulas. A number of wells in the inboard area have found hydrocarbons, indicating that these rocks are viable drilling targets if the charge and trapping mechanisms are properly understood.

  • Mantle Structure and Tectonic History of SE Asia
    Nature and Demise of the Proto-South China Sea ROBERT HALL, H. TIM BREITFELD SE Asia Research Group, Department of Earth Sciences, Royal Holloway University of London, Egham, Surrey, TW20 0EX, United Kingdom Abstract: The term Proto-South China Sea has been used in a number of different ways. It was originally introduced to describe oceanic crust that formerly occupied the region north of Borneo where the modern South China Sea is situated. This oceanic crust was inferred to have been Mesozoic, and to have been eliminated by subduction beneath Borneo. Subduction was interpreted to have begun in Early Cenozoic and terminated in the Miocene. Subsequently the term was also used for inferred oceanic crust, now disappeared, of quite different age, notably that interpreted to have been subducted during the Late Cretaceous below Sarawak. More recently, some authors have considered that southeast-directed subduction continued until much later in the Neogene than originally proposed, based on the supposition that the NW Borneo Trough and Palawan Trough are, or were recently, sites of subduction. Others have challenged the existence of the Proto-South China Sea completely, or suggested it was much smaller than envisaged when the term was introduced. We review the different usage of the term and the evidence for subduction, particularly under Sabah. We suggest that the term Proto-South China Sea should be used only for the slab subducted beneath Sabah and Cagayan between the Eocene and Early Miocene. Oceanic crust subducted during earlier episodes of subduction in other areas should be named differently and we use the term Paleo- Pacific Ocean for lithosphere subducted under Borneo in the Cretaceous.

  • A Gravity High in Darvel Bay
    Ceol. Soc. MaLaYJia, BulLetill 59, July 1996,. pp. 1lJ-122 A gravity high in Darvel Bay PATRICK J.e. RYALL! AND DWAYNE BEATTIE2 1 Department of Geology Dalhousie University Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada B3H 3J5 2Geoterrex Ltd. 2060 Walkley Road Ottawa, Ontario Canada K1 G 3P5 Abstract: A gravity survey was carried out along the coastlines of Darvel Bay and many of the islands (e.g. Sakar, Tabauwan, Silumpat) in the Bay. In addition stations were located along the road from Kunak to Lahad Datu. The resulting Bouguer anomaly map shows a broad gravity high of at least 60 mgal which strikes west northwest with its maximum on the southern coast of Pulau Sakar. The anomaly narrows and decreases where it comes ashore and may continue along the Silam-Beeston Complex. This large positive anomaly suggests that there is an extensive ultramafic body beneath Darvel Bay. The gravity anomaly can best be modelled as a 3 to 5 km thick slab of ultramafic rock under the Bay with amphibolites on its northern and southern edges dipping away from the Bay. This model is consistent with a folded structure which brings upper mantle rocks to the surface. It is unlikely that there is a significant thickness of Chert-Spilite Formation beneath Darvel Bay, although the gravity data w.ould permit a thickness of up to a few hundred metres. INTRODUCTION Hutchison (1968,1975) considers the ophiolitic rocks of Darvel Bay as part of a strongly arcuate Borneo line which runs from the Sulu Archipelago in the northeast, through Darvel Bay and northwestern The island of Borneo is located in a complex Sabah and along Palawan (Fig.

  • Incision of Rivers in Pleistocene Gravel and Conglomeratic Terraces: Further Circumstantial Evidence for the Uplift of Borneo During the Neogene and Quaternary
    Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia, Volume 61, December 2015, pp. 49 – 57 Incision of rivers in Pleistocene gravel and conglomeratic terraces: Further circumstantial evidence for the uplift of Borneo during the Neogene and Quaternary FRANZ L. KESSLER1* & JOHN JONG2 1Independent Geoscience, Oil and Gas Consultant 2JX Nippon Oil and Gas Exploration (Deepwater Sabah) Limited Level 51, Menara 3 PETRONAS, Persiaran KLCC, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, 50088 Kuala Lumpur *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Incised Pleistocene gravel beds and conglomerates are a common feature of the Baram, Limbang and Temburong drainage systems in NW Sarawak and Brunei. Incision values vary from 9 to 76 m, a likely result of strong temporary precipitation, in combination with ongoing uplift. Conglomerates and gravels are monomictic, almost exclusively formed by the Lower Miocene Meligan sandstone, and deposited in nested fluvial terraces. The described pattern differs from coastal terraces of the Miri area; the latter do not contain conglomerates other than locally-derived and recycled quartz clasts. The available age and uplift data, when plotted log-normal, suggest that the mountainous central Borneo uplift was continuous of some 6-7 mm a-1, whilst low-lying coastal wetland areas in Brunei and Sarawak may only have seen a very minor uplift in the order of 0.8 mm a-1. The uplift may be ongoing at the present day. Keywords: NW Borneo, Neogene, Quaternary, terraces, uplift, Sarawak, Brunei, geomorphology INTRODUCTION research poses the question, to which extent climate may This paper is in many ways a compilation, given there have prompted the rise the Borneo hinterlands, as well as is a need to align older data with modern results, and mountainous regions of Sulawesi, New Guinea and other from different branches of science.

  • Brunei Darussalam's Preliminary Submission Concerning the Outer
    Brunei Darussalam’s Preliminary Submission concerning the Outer Limits of its Continental Shelf Brunei Darussalam’s Preliminary Submission to the Secretary-General concerning the Outer Limits of its Continental Shelf 1. Introduction (a) Relevant Provisions of UNCLOS 1. Brunei Darussalam (‘Brunei’) is a State party to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (‘UNCLOS’), which it signed on 5 December 1984 and ratified on 5 November 1996. 2. Article 77, paragraphs 1 – 3, of UNCLOS provide that: “1. The coastal State exercises over the continental shelf sovereign rights for the purpose of exploring it and exploiting its natural resources. 2. The rights referred to in paragraph 1 are exclusive in the sense that if the coastal State does not explore the continental shelf or exploit its natural resources, no one may undertake these activities without the express consent of the coastal State. 3. The rights of the coastal State over the continental shelf do not depend on occupation, effective or notional, or on any express proclamation.” 3. Article 76, paragraph 1, of UNCLOS establishes the right of coastal States to determine the outer limits of the continental shelf. This provision states that: “The continental shelf of a coastal State comprises the sea-bed and subsoil of the submarine areas that extend beyond its territorial sea throughout the natural prolongation of its land territory to the outer edge of the continental margin, or to a distance of 200 nautical miles from the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured where the outer edge of the continental margin does not extend up to that distance.” Article 76, paragraph 8, of UNCLOS further states that: “Information on the limits of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles from the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured shall be submitted by the coastal State to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf set up under Annex II on the basis of equitable geographic representation.

  • Geological Heritage Features of Tawau Volcanic Sequence, Sabah
    Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia 56 (2010) 79 – 85 Geological heritage features of Tawau volcanic sequence, Sabah Sanudin Tahir, BaBa MuSTa & iSMail aBd rahiM Geology Programme, School of Science and Technology Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 88999 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Abstract­­— Semporna Peninsula area was built up by thick Tertiary sequence of volcanic flows and volcaniclastic rocks. Early Cretaceous tholeiite basalt is the oldest sequence of volcanic rocks interpreted to have formed as part of a wide spread submarine volcano or volcanic complex within an MORB characterized by rapid volcanism. Miocene to Quaternary volcanisms from volcanic arcs contributed sequences of lava flows and pyroclastic rocks of dacitic, andesitic and basaltic rock types forming the major mountain chains of southeast Sabah. This Neogene volcanic sequence is dominated by low to high K-calc alkaline andesitic to dacitic volcanic rocks similar to modern island arc type. The subaerial of the latest lava flows of the region indicates volcanism consistent with tholeiitic basalt type. It has been accepted that during the Cenozoic, Sabah has been subjected to series of major tectonic regimes. A number of deformation phases have been determined include: Middle Eocene, Middle Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene phases of crustal movements of this region. The area appeared, therefore, to have been subjected to compressional tectonic regime throughout much of the late Cenozoic. However, the structural and sedimentological expression of these tectonic regimes varies considerably. It is suggested here that compressional episodes were interspersed with periods of active transtensional basin formation and that Late Miocene extension of the eastern part of Sabah which was related to compressional forces.
