9. OTHER MATTERS
9.1. CCOP Contributions to the International Year of the Planet Earth (IYPE)
The Director of CCOP TS delivered an oral report on CCOP’s participation as an Associate Partner in IYPE.
Dr. A.J. Reedman, Honorary Adviser, commented that it was very appropriate that CCOP had played such an active part in IYPE. One of the originators of the idea of having such an “International Year” was Dr. Henk Schalke, a previous representative of the Netherlands and now Honorary Adviser to CCOP. Both CCOP and many of its Member Countries have taken an active part, particularly with many outreach activities during the International Year.
CCOP together with LESTARI of Malaysia published a book on the Geoheritage of East and Southeast Asia. This is a most attractive book and needs wider distribution to fulfill its outreach aims. One suggestion is that Member Countries may wish to translate their respective national chapters from the book into their own languages for wider distribution to their own people. A welcome development in Japan is that it is intended to translate the book into Japanese, subject to copyright agreement with CCOP/LESTARI.
Also, CCOP contributes to OneGeology, a flagship project of IYPE.
9.2. EAGER Award
The deferred EAGER award for 2008 and the award for 2009 were awarded to Ms. Namphon Khampilang (Thailand) and Ms. Nguyen Thi Hai Van (Vietnam) respectively.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Hai Van, the first Vietnamese EAGER grantee, thanked CCOP for the EAGER Award, and expressed her appreciation to the donor of the grant.
Proceedings of the 46 th CCOP Annual Session 4 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009
The Thailand Delegation, on behalf of the Department of Mineral Resources, Royal Thai Government, and the successful grantee, Ms. Namphon Khampilang, expressed their deep appreciation to the EAGER Project sponsor, Dr. Maurice Terman, CCOP Honorary Adviser to CCOP and CCOP TS for this valuable contribution to the research work related to climate change induced flooding hazards in Bangkok, Thailand.
9.3. Report on New Member Country Applicants
9.3.1 Finland as the New Cooperating Country to CCOP
The Director of CCOP TS reported that Finland is now a CCOP Cooperating Country. He further reported efforts to encourage new applications for Member Country status (see below).
9.3.2 Mongolia and Lao as CCOP Member Countries
The Director of CCOP TS reported that efforts had been made to finalize the arrangement to facilitate Mongolia, if decided to become a new MC. Lao PDR has been invited to the meeting as observer.
The Lao PDR Delegation stated that it was their great pleasure to be invited to this 46th CCOP Annual Session as observers and to learn more deeply about CCOP activities. The presentations from Member Countries and Cooperating Countries showed that through joint geosciences projects, training and research programme within CCOP, best practices and methodologies in the three sectors of Geo-resources, Geo-environment and Geo-information have been effectively exchanged and training given. This strengthened geoscience institutions and contributed to the economic development of Member Countries.
The Delegation further informed the Session that Lao PDR will submit her application to join CCOP upon obtaining approval from the Government.
The Session was briefed about the geological activities and mining development in the country.
9.4. Progress Report of the Strategic Plan

OPENING ADDRESS by Dr. Phung Dinh Thuc Permanent Representative of Vietnam to CCOP President and CEO of PETROVIETNAM
At the Opening Ceremony of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 18-23 October 2009, Vung tau City, Vietnam
H.E. Dr. Nguyen Xuan Cuong, Vice Minister of Natural Resources and Environment of Vietnam, Mr. Tran Minh Sanh, Chairman of Baria-Vung tau People Committee, Dato’ Yunus Abdul Razak, Chairman of the CCOP Steering Committee, Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen,
This year, Vietnam again is privileged and honoured to host CCOP Annual Session after ten years’ time. First of all, on behalf of the host country, Organizing Committee, I would like to warmly welcome all the delegates from CCOP Member Countries, Cooperating Countries and Organizations, observers from all over the world to the coastal city of Vung tau, the center of Vietnam petroleum industry.
Along with the foundation of the young Republic Government of Vietnam, Department of Geology and Mineral Resources of Vietnam was founded in 1945 and 16 years later in 1961, Vietnam Petroleum Industry was established. We are all very proud that in the past years, many generations of Vietnamese geoscientists have been dedicating great efforts to enable the underground natural resources of the country to become a key factor contributing to the development of Vietnam.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
CCOP Member Countries have been developing under the dreadfully challenging circumstances. How we can develop mineral and petroleum resources sustainably becomes an urgent necessity for our CCOP Member Countries. As the agricultural and the most populated area in the world, CCOP Members are facing with challenging issues of groundwater resources and minerals exploitation’s management.
CCOP Member Countries are incurring high risk of geo-hazards, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, landslides and other natural hazards due to global climate change. These challenges are demanding us to focus every effort on geo-hazards prediction and mitigation for the sake of human life. We greatly appreciate the regional cooperation within CCOP family which gives us all the change of sharing experience, transferring technologies, enhancing cooperation and community awareness towards these issues.
On this special occasion, I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the CCOP Steering Committee and CCOP Technical Secretariat, Advisory Group, Member Countries, Cooperating Countries and Organizations for your dedication and hard work to build our common CCOP home for the sustainable development of our countries.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 21 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 Distinguished Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen,
With the approval of Prime Minister of Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the trust of our Member Countries, two years ago, Vietnam was chosen to be the host of the 46th CCOP Annual Session and the 54th CCOP Steering Committee Meeting.
During the past two years, Vietnam Oil and Gas Group, Department of Geology and Mineral Resources of Vietnam, People Committee of Baria-Vung tau Province under the direction of Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, CCOP-Vietnam and CCOP Technical Secretariat have been devotedly working and preparing for this great event.
During the Session, we will listen and discuss the reports from Member Countries, Cooperating Countries and Organizations and CCOP Technical Secretariat on the 2009 CCOP’s activities, consider the workplan for 2010, exchange the information, experience and achievements of scientific cooperation between Member and Cooperating Countries. In the conjunction with the Annual Session, the Thematic Session on “Sustainable and Environment-friendly Development of Geo-resources” will be taking place from 21-22 October 2009. An exciting field excursion will be followed to take you along the beautiful coastline of Vietnam with the destination of Binh Chau hot spring.
Hopefully, you will have fruitful and exciting working days during your stay in Vung tau, the center of Vietnam petroleum industry. Now I declare the 46th CCOP Annual Session “opened”.
I would like to with this meeting a great success.
Wishing you good health and a pleasant stay in Vietnam.
Thank you very much.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 22 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 WELCOME ADDRESS by H.E. Dr. Nguyen Xuan Cuong Vice Minister, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Vietnam
At the Opening Ceremony of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 18-23 October 2009, Vung tau City, Vietnam
Dato’ Yunus Abdul Razak, Chairman of the CCOP Steering Committee, Dr. Hee-Young Chun, Director of CCOP Technical Secretariat, Mr. Tran Minh Sanh, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Baria-Vung tau Province, Representatives of CCOP Member Countries, Cooperating Countries, Cooperating Organizations and the Advisory Group, Mr. Phung Dinh Thuc, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to CCOP, President and CEO of PETROVIETNAM, Ladies and Gentlemen,
First of all, on behalf of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the Hosting Country, I would like to warmly welcome all of you to the 46th CCOP Annual Session and the 54th CCOP Steering Committee Meeting, in this coastal city of Vung tau, Baria-Vung tau Province, where there is a harmonious combination between tourism and petroleum activities towards the sustainable development, which is really ideal for organizing our meeting - the meeting of geoscientific organizations.
Vietnam joined CCOP in 1989 according to the decision of the Chairman of Minister Council, now the Prime Minister. Immediately after joining CCOP, Vietnam has actively participated in CCOP activities. In 1992, Vietnam hosted the 29th CCOP Annual Session and the 20th CCOP Steering Committee Meeting in Hanoi. In 1999, Vietnam hosted the 36th CCOP Annual Session and the 34th CCOP Steering Committee Meeting, also in Hanoi. This is the third time Vietnam hosts the 46th CCOP Annual Session and the 54th Steering Committee Meetinig.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Vietnam was established in August 2002 and has been assigned by the Government of Vietnam with the task of State management and basic investigations of land, environment, groundwater resources, geology and mineral resources, hydro-meteorology and climate change, survey and cartography, sea and islands. Most of the management areas covered by MONRE are related with the areas of CCOP activity programs, including Mineral Program, Groundwater Program, Energy Program, Coastal Zone Management Program (including offshore and continental shelf areas), Environmental Geology Program, Geohazard Program, Geoinformation Program.
In the past years, with the concern and guidance of the Vietnamese Government, many agencies of Vietnam, including the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Ministry of Science and Technology, Vietnamese Academy of Science and Technology, PetroVietnam, VINACOMIN have actively participated in the implementation of CCOP activities. The results of their activities have been noted and reflected in the annual country reports of CCOP Vietnam at CCOP Annual Sessions and highly evaluated by CCOP.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 23 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 Via CCOP activities, such as annual session, thematic sessions, regional programs and projects, workshops, training courses, exchanging ideas with colleagues in Member Countries, Cooperating Countries, Cooperating Organizations, the Vietnamese staff have learnt much knowledge, skill and experience.
This is a favorable opportunity of Vietnam, as a member of a big and strong organization, consisting of large Member Countries in Southeast and East Asia, which has been supported by Cooperating Countries worldwide with high level of economic and scientific-technical development, by Cooperating Organizations and Advisory Group with rich experience in investigation, evaluation and conservation of natural resources and environment on the Earth.
The CCOP activities are aiming at the sustainable development for the community. Therefore, Vietnam always cares for and supports the CCOP programs and projects, closely follows up and create all favorable conditions for the units of Ministries and sectors of Vietnam to participate in the CCOP programs and projects and organizes the implementation of many programs and projects in the field of geosciences to solve various problems serving the socio-economic development in Vietnam. Thanks to this, so far the expertise of basic survey and research in the field of geosciences in Vietnam has been considerably improved. Many study results of Vietnam have been exchanged and shared with CCOP Member Countries and thereby Vietnam has actively contributed to the common success of the “CCOP family” - for the common prosperity of the communities in the region and on our planet Earth.
Geoscience is a discipline without geographic boundaries, and there are more and more global issues - including climate change - that require cooperation and joint efforts of all communities on the Earth. Therefore, international cooperation is indispensable, with the tradition of close cooperation among the countries and organization in the great CCOP family, which include Member Countries, Cooperating Countries and Cooperating Organizations under the administration and management by the CCOP Steering Committee, Technical Secretariat, together with the effective cooperation of the Advisory Group, I wish and believe that this cooperative relationship as well as CCOP itself will be increasingly developing, making active contributions to the development of the geosciences, to the socio- economic development of each Member Country and the region as a whole.
On this occasion, on behalf of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the hosting country, I would like to sincerely thank the CCOP Steering Committee headed by the Chairman, the CCOP Technical Secretariat headed by the Director, the Advisory Group, the Member Countries, Cooperating Countries and Cooperating Organizations of CCOP who have extended to Vietnam kind favor, support and assistance and effective cooperation in the past years.
I would like to express to all of you my best wishes. I wish the 46th CCOP Annual Session and the 54th Steering Committee Meeting in Vung tau, Vietnam a great success.
Thank you.

At the Opening Ceremony of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 19 October 2009, Vung tau City, Vietnam
His Excellency Dr. Pham Khoi Nguyen, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Mr. Tran Minh Sanh, Chairman of Ba-Rai Vung tau People Committee, Dr. Phung Dinh Thuc, President and CEO of PETROVIETNAM, Dr. Jos de Sonneville, Vice Chairman of the CCOP Advisory Group, Dr. Hee-Young Chun, Director of CCOP Technical Secretariat, Distinguished Delegates and Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning, It is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all of you to the 46th CCOP Annual Session in this scenic, aptly named ‘friendly’ Vung tau City of Vietnam. As Chairperson of CCOP Steering Committee, I am very grateful to H.E. Dr. Pham Khoi Nguyen, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, for taking the time to grace this occasion. Sir, we are indeed greatly honored by your presence. On behalf of the CCOP Member Countries, Cooperating Countries and Cooperating Organizations, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to the Government of Vietnam and Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PETROVIETNAM) for graciously hosting this Annual Session and also the Steering Committee Meeting immediately after the Annual Session.
I want to take this opportunity to congratulate and welcome the new CCOP Member Countrie, Timor-Leste and the new Cooperating Country, Finland. To our guests from Lao PDR, I just want to say that CCOP is more than happy to have you as part of the family. Ladies and Gentlemen, First of all, I would like to offer my deepest condolence to some of our Member Countries that were hard hit by the recent devastating geological hazards triggered by a string of separate but almost continuous natural catastrophes ravaging the region: the earthquake in Padang, Indonesia, Tropical Storm Ketsana followed by Typhoon Parma in the Philippines, Typhoon Melor in Japan and the most recent being the Typhoon Parma that has reached China just a few days ago.
The daily grim reports of high death tolls, injury and property losses should remind us of how fragile the world we live in is, and wake the geologist fraternity to do more to conserve the environment and to be proactive in providing the much needed expert advice to our respective governments so as to minimize as far as possibly could, the risk from such hazards. Although the looming challenges are huge, we, as geoscientists, could not afford the price of inaction. These challenges are not for the future generations but today’s generation. These are challenges of our times. Ladies and gentlemen,
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 26 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 CCOP has been in existence for more than 40 years and there have been a lot of changes since the CCOP’s inception. Hence, in order for CCOP to remain relevant and to be able to stand up against the tide of the contemporary demands and to be able to project forward to meet the demands of the future generations, the CCOP, as an organization is in dire need to effect and accommodate changes as well.
I would like to commend the good work conducted by CCOP Advisory Group on the analysis of the issues faced by CCOP through the Brain Storming Sessions. It is imperative that we should address the challenges urgently and effectively in the context of the global changing environment. The issue of climate change which has been hotly debated around the globe should be one of our top priority concerns. There should be a concerted will to effect and educate the world community to minimize the effect of the climate change and to do our very best to manage, if not to reverse the serious deterioration of the planet earth, drawing upon our reservoir of collective knowledge and experience. Of course there are other pressing issues like the energy supplies and water supplies that need to be dealt with too. The CCOP Advisory Group’s role of providing valuable recommendations in order to guide and propel CCOP to the proper direction is hence very highly appreciated.
It was also through the wisdom of the CCOP Advisory Group that the Select Finance Committee was set up. The Committee is to provide input to the CCOP Steering Committee on financial matters and to work with the CCOP Director and Secretariat in realizing CCOP’s objectives. The Committee has met 4 times since its inception in 2008 and has contributed immensely in providing valuable input and idea in literally ‘making the whatever available money to work for CCOP’. Ladies and gentlemen, It is my pleasure to bring to the attention of this Session that we are in the final stage of producing the much awaited new CCOP Strategic Plan. A Task Force comprising 5 Member Countries namely: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam were formed to address the issues raised during our Strategic Planning Workshop in February 2009 as well as the comments from the Member Countries on the draft strategic plan. The final draft of the Strategic Plan will be tabled at the coming 54th Steering Committee Meeting for adoption. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to note particularly the contribution of CCOP’s participation to the International Year of the Planet Earth (IYPE) as an Associate Partner in IYPE. It is heartening to see that many Member Countries have formed their respective national committees and many of their activities have been reported in the Country Reports tabled at this and previous Annual Sessions. To mark IYPE, CCOP has published the CCOP book on Geoheritage in East and Southeast Asia. The book on Geological Museums in the CCOP Region will be published hopefully by the end of this year. Ladies and gentlemen, I am delighted to inform the Session that CCOP has extended the scope of cooperation with other regional organizations like the ASEAN Senior Official Meeting on Minerals (ASOMM). The extension and strengthening of this type of cooperation would pave the way towards the vast opportunities of improving geoscience knowledge which holds the key to a safer, healthier and wealthier world, the tag-lined ultimate goal of IYPE. Ladies and gentlemen,
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 27 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 I wish to take the opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the Member Countries (Indonesia, Japan, Korea and Malaysia) for having taken the initiative to organize courses with local sponsorship in terms of financing and also in the providing of the resource personnel for the courses. As I see it, this initiative is indeed laudable as it shows that we have grown from the era of dependent mere ‘recipients’ to the more mature contributing ‘donor’ of some sort to other needy countries in the region. I reckon that this should be the way forward for CCOP and I strongly recommend that this soft initiative, though still in its infantry stage to be enhanced so that the CCOP would be seen increasingly as a contributing entity to the world at large in the sphere of geology. Ladies and gentlemen, Over the years, the criteria for the financial funding of CCOP activities have become increasingly complex. These are closely related to the indigenous native and the nature conservation issues. In order for CCOP to play an increasing important role, I am of the opinion that CCOP should source its funding entirely from its Member Countries, and Cooperating Countries. It is time for us to review the contribution computation of the Member Countries and Cooperating Countries so that a just, agreeable and workable solution may be formulated. Indeed sound sustainable funding is instrumental to the very survival and effective running of the organization. Ladies and gentlemen, I consider my humble self to be greatly honored to be given the opportunity to shoulder the huge responsibility as the Chairman of the Steering Committee. As my term draws to an end towards the end of 2009, I want to take the opportunity to thank the Advisory Group, the Technical Secretariat, all the Member Countries, all the Cooperating Countries and Organizations.
As the out-going Chairman, I want to reiterate that there is still a lot of room for CCOP to improve. I want to see CCOP to grow from strength to strength, becoming a real force to be reckoned with in the CCOP region and beyond. I also want to see CCOP to propel into an era of unprecedented cooperation and solidarity among the Member Countries and Cooperating Countries in years to come.
Lastly but not least, on behalf of CCOP, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Dr. Hee-Young Chun, whose tenure as the Director of CCOP Technical Secretariat would end on 31 March 2010, for the hard work, patience and persistency in keeping the running of Technical Secretariat.
Thank you and I look forward enthusiastically to a productive and creative 46th CCOP Annual Session and wish all of you to have a pleasant time in this most admirable, truly friendly City of Vung tau. Thank you!
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 28 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 KEYNOTE ADDRESS by Dr. Joseph de Sonneville Vice-Chairperson, CCOP Advisory Group
At the Opening Ceremony of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 19 October 2009, Vung tau City, Vietnam
His Excellency H.E Dr. Pham Khoi Nguyen, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Mr. Tran Minh Sanh, Chairman of Ba-Rai Vung tau People Commission, Dr. Phung Dinh Thuc, President and CEO of PETROVIETNAM and Dato’ Yunus Abdul Razak, Chairperson of the CCOP Steering Committee, Distinguished Delegates and Guests,
On the occasion of the opening of the 46th CCOP Annual Session, I am very pleased to make some introductory remarks.
As Chair of the Advisory Group I have the honor to represent 14 Cooperating Countries and Cooperating Organizations, and Honorary Advisors from several different countries.
First it is my pleasure to join in thanking H.E Dr. Pham Khoi Nguyen, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, for taking the time from his very busy schedule, and gracing us with his presence here today.
We all very much appreciate the Government of Vietnam for their sponsorship of the meeting, PETROVIETNAM and the Department of Geology and Mineral Resources, for the welcome that has been prepared, and all that has been done to make this meeting a success.
For many of us this is our first visit to the beautiful coastal city of Vung tau - but not our first to Vietnam. It is a real pleasure to be in Vietnam again and we are most grateful to Mr. Tran Minh Sanh, Chairman of Ba-Rai Vung tau People Commission, for their warm welcome.
During our Annual Meeting we will, have many important things to consider, including a review of the substantial achievements that have been made by CCOP during the past year. And I think you will all agree with me that much has been achieved.
However we should remind ourselves that much has changed in the past year - it has been a time of great turbulence in the world’s economies necessitating urgent, and continuing action by many of our governments. Thankfully these actions appear to be creating more stability in our economies although many challenges still lie ahead.
This past year has seen an even greater international focus on the global issue of climate change and global warming - described by the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki- moon as the most challenging issue to ever to confront the world and its peoples. Most recently on September 22 more than 100 world leaders met in New York, at the United Nations, including the Presidents of China, Japan and the United States at a Summit on Climate Change to mobilize political will and vision in preparation for the forthcoming
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 29 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 United Nations climate talks in Copenhagen. These talks will consider how to replace the Kyoto protocols expiring in 2012. The United Nations Secretary General has defined a critical question before us all …and one that will be addressed in Copenhagen in December, and one that will also be addressed here in the coming days …..“How can we fundamentally transform our economies to enable sustainable, low emissions growth and development while assisting communities to adapt to climate change?”
But as Geoscientists we know that climate change is only one of several critical issues that have both local and global significance, along with energy supplies, natural resources including minerals, hydrocarbons, water availability, and natural hazards that are local, national, and international matters of public concern.
The recent dreadful natural earthquake-related landslides and great loss of life in Indonesia are just on reminder of our vulnerability to natural hazards.
And we know very well that CCOP has a very important role to play in these issues because it is apparent that the contributions of the geosciences are increasingly important and are being recognized as such in the development of national and international policies.
And so it is not surprising that CCOP has begun the development of a new Strategic Plan - to identify challenges and opportunities for the future.
As you know a very important and successful workshop was held earlier this year in Pattaya led, with great skill, by Dr. David Ovadia and attended by representatives from Member and Cooperating Countries, as well as Honorary Advisors.
A draft of the Strategic Plan has been prepared will be considered at this meeting and at the following Steering Committee meeting with a view to its final adoption. The draft ambitiously sets out, and I quote, how CCOP, with its partners, can deliver a unique and major contribution to understanding our dynamic Earth, so that society can make the right choices to live responsibly within the environment in the 21st Century and beyond.”
Not only will it be important to complete this plan but an equally important task will be to define and describe an implementation plan that will make the strategy a reality. To that end the workshop identified nine major tasks - many of them focused on improving communication of CCOP’s activities and communications, within the CCOP family and most importantly externally to policymakers, to industry, and outreach to the public at large.
Dr. Ovadia and the Secretariat are thanked and congratulated for the work that has been done do far, and for providing a rich basis for further discussion. . And once again at the CCOP annual meeting we that the Steering Committee has chosen a highly relevant topic for this years’ Thematic Session on “Sustainable and environment- friendly development of georesources,” to address some very challenging issues such as,
“How should we develop oil, gas minerals, and groundwater resources to maximize the benefits and to minimize the environmental impacts of such development?”
“What cooperation strategies should CCOP adopt to cope with new challenges in resource development?”
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 30 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 “What are the current and future opportunities in the CCOP region for clean development mechanisms under Kyoto protocols and beyond?’
We are all most grateful for the organization of this special Thematic Session by PETROVIETNAM, the Department of Geology and Minerals of Vietnam, and the Vietnam Academy of Sciences and Technologies. No doubt we can look forward to a very important discussion.
CCOP’s ability to consider such complex issues derives from the willingness of the Member Countries and Cooperating Countries to work together, and be very successful across national and cultural boundaries. This unique CCOP cooperation is based upon the conviction that improved geoscience knowledge and education are keys to a safer and better world. CCOP projects are having a demonstrable impact, in technology transfer, and personnel training.
But none of this would be possible without the dedication, and hard work, of the Secretariat Staff upon who fall the innumerable tasks of implementing meetings, workshops, symposia, publications, and data dissemination. CCOP is very fortunate to have such dedicated staff.
For now - let us just celebrate that CCOP brings us all together again for this years’ annual session, and the accompanying Steering committee meeting and we are all looking forward to very informative and important discussions. It is gratifying to see so many old friends, who have traveled so far, gathered together in the beautiful country of Vietnam.
Once again, on behalf of the Advisory Group, I would like to sincerely thank the Government of Vietnam for hosting the 46th CCOP Annual Meeting. We are most grateful to the Vietnamese people and our Vietnamese colleagues for their warm welcome and hospitality.

Actions Taken on Recommendations of the CCOP Advisory Group Brainstorming Session II and Advisory Group Meeting at the 45th Annual Session in Khon Kaen, Thailand.
The 51st CCOP Steering Committee Meeting held in April 2008, Chiang Rai, Thailand endorsed the recommendations of the CCOP Advisory Group Brainstorming Session held in January 2008. The CCOP TS sees four important recommendations: (1) formulation of a CCOP Select Finance Committee, (2) CCOP Business Plan (3) CCOP Strategic Plan and (4) Membership. The following is the summary of the actions taken on these recommendations.
1) A CCOP Select Finance Committee has been formed composing of China, Korea, Japan, Malaysia and Thailand. Since its Inaugural Meeting held on 18-21 August 2008 at the CCOP TS, Bangkok, Thailand, the committee met twice, and agreed to have a regular meeting right before CCOP Annual Sessions and/or Steering Committee Meetings. The Chairman of the Advisory Group serves as the Facilitator of the Committee, and reports its findings and recommendations to the Steering Committee Meetings.
2) CCOP Business Plan for 2009-2011 has been formulated and will be presented at the 54th Steering Committee Meeting in Vung tau, Vietnam. This Business Plan will have to be revised as soon as the new CCOP Strategic Plan is completed and approved by the Steering Committee.
3) A CCOP Strategic Planning Workshop took place on 23-25 February 2009 attended by the CCOP Member Countries and several members of the CCOP Advisory Group. The results and recommendations of the Workshop were presented at the 53rd CCOP Steering Committee Meeting held right after Workshop. At this Steering Committee Meeting a Task Force to finalize the draft Strategic Plan 2010 was formed comprising Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. Subsequently a draft of Strategic Plan 2010 was circulated to the Member Countries for comments, and the compiled comments were forwarded to the Task Force, as required by the 53rd Steering Committee Meeting. A final draft of the Strategic Plan 2010 will be tabled at the 54th CCOP Steering Committee Meeting in Vungtau, Vietnam.

2-C. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY PROGRAMME
1) Environmental Analysis Support Programme in the CCOP and Other Regions
The 48th CCOP Steering Committees Meeting in Daejeon, Korea endorsed the Environmental Analysis Support Programme in the CCOP and Other Regions proposed by AIST/GSJ under the auspices of Japan Radioisotope Association and Iwate Medical University. This programme will provide in-kind services on environmental specimens, which are analysed by PIXE method. Currently, some samples from Member Countries were sent to be analysed and evaluated for environmental contamination (up to 200 samples). The service is still open up to the maximum number of 500 samples per year and it will be continued through next year.
2) BGR-CCOP Workshop on Geological Storage of CO2
The workshop was organized by CCOP and BGR, Germany with an aim of capacity building in developing CCOP Member Countries regarding the regulation of geological CO2 storage as one mitigation option for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The methods and tools shall be put in place to enable participants to understand all facets of geological CO2 storage and to endow geological institutions with knowledge and experiences from others to provide political advice towards their government on CO2 storage issues in the lead-up to the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen, December 2009. Regulation of CO2 storage is essential for the successful and safe use of CCS technologies in order to contribute to climate change mitigation. The workshop (including fieldtrip) was carried out in Bangkok, Thailand during 22-26 June 2009. The total number of participant was 64; Cambodia (2), China (2), Indonesia (3), Korea (5), Malaysia (1), Philippines (3), Timor Leste (2), Thailand (26), Vietnam (4) including 11 Resource Persons from UNEP and various organizations in Germany, France and UK and 5 workshop organizers.
The successful completion of this workshop has proven that all parties involved were capable to take appropriate and fast action. It is appropriate that this workshop has been expeditiously completed so that the experiences and lessons learned in Europe, particularly Germany, can lead to an establishment of an organization similar to the CO2-GeoNet in the CCOP region with the CCOP TS as the focal and coordinating organization. With regards to the immediate need of establishing the legal and regulatory framework of CCS for CCOP member countries, this should be given priority in the follow up activities.
3. GEO-INFORMATION SECTOR
1) CCOP Geoheritage Book Project
The project is intended to be CCOP’s contribution to the UN International Year of Planet Earth (IYPE). The idea was first raised in Bangkok earlier in 2006 (during “World of Difference Project”), and approved by the 48th CCOP Steering Committee Meeting in
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 47 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009
Daejeon. The project was essentially to produce an attractive and informative directory of conservation geo-sites, including entire geo-parks or single protected outcrops, and geological museums in East and Southeast Asia particularly of the CCOP Member Countries.
At the 45th CCOP Annual Session held in Khon Kaen, Thailand, November 2008, the CCOP-Institute for Environment and Development, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (LESTARI-UKM) Geoheritage Book, ‘Geoheritage of East and Southeast Asia’ was launched. CCOP presented tokens of appreciation to its three editors, Prof. Dr. Mohd Shafeea Leman, Deputy Director, LESTARI and CCOP Honorary Advisers – Dr. Anthony Reedman and Chen Shick Pei.
The book is a compilation of selected geoheritage sites in the eight Member Countries of CCOP who have contributed chapters to the book, namely, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. An introductory chapter on geoparks is also included in the book, highlighting the brief history of geoparks and criteria for the development of national geoparks.
The book is now available and has been distributed to CCOP constituents by early 2009. Its electronic version in PDF format can be downloaded from http://www.ccop.or.th/ download/pub/CCOP-geoheritage-book.pdf.
CCOP appreciates the contribution made by the authors and the Working Group from the CCOP Member Countries, as well as to the editors who shared their time, efforts and knowledge in painstakingly going through each chapter, and compiled it into a book. CCOP also acknowledges the support of the UKM-LESTARI in the production of the book; managing the book publication and covering the costs of printing as well as its distribution to the CCOP constituents.
2) GEO Grid
The GEO (Global Earth Observation) Grid is aiming at providing an E-Science Infrastructure for worldwide Earth Sciences communities to accelerate GEO sciences based on the concept that relevant data and computation are virtually integrated with a certain access control and ease-of-use interface enabled by a set of Grid and Web service technologies.
On 17-18 March 2009, a Workshop on GEO Grid and Asian Geo-information Infrastructure was organized by CCOP and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan. Sixteen participants from the Member Countries were in attendance. The main purpose of the workshop was to exchange information on the work and progress of the CCOP-GEO Grid project in each country and discuss strategies for geoinformation in the CCOP Member Countries.
The Workshop discussed progress and status of GEO Grid Project in Japan, as well as in the Member Countries. The AIST GEO Grid currently provides remote sensing data as base map and standard web service interface to compose applications while adopting grid technology to accommodate applications. In order to respect data owners’ publication policies, the GEO Grid utilizes a virtual organization (VO), in which various data and computing resources are provided as services, as its basic design concept. To achieve VO- based design, the GEO Grid system uses GSI (Grid Security Infrastructure) with VO-level authentication and authorization provided by VOMS (Virtual Organization Membership Service). The Member Countries updated the Workshop on the current status of their geoscience information applications, work in collaborating with the information technology

agency in their country and their future plans. Among the Member Countries, only Thailand is a member of the VO, in particular Geohazard VO.
On the Asian Geoinformation Infrastructure, the idea of putting up all the maps and database that CCOP have accumulated since it began map compilation into one infrastructure, availing the existing standards, technologies and systems at hand such as GEO Grid, CCOP Metadata Standard, OneGeology, GeoSciML, WMS and WFS has been presented and discussed.
3) OneGeology-CCOP
The 49th CCOP Steering Committee Meeting endorsed the OneGeology Project, an international initiative of the geological surveys of the world led by the British Geological Survey (BGS) and a flagship project of the 'International Year of Planet Earth'. Its aim is to create dynamic geological map data of the world available via the web.
At the launching of OneGeology Portal during the International Geological Congress in Oslo, Norway, August 2008, CCOP’s 1:2M Geologic Map of East and Southeast Asia and the 1:1M Geologic Maps of Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Philippines and Thailand have been made available and accessible through the portal, http://portal.onegeology.org/. To date the Malaysian 1:1M geological map is ready for registration to the 1G Portal, while the Vietnamese map, is still under improvement.
The OneGeology-Global established a 1G Steering Group, comprising of 6 members, of which the CCOPTS Director is one, representing Asia. The First Steering Group Meeting was held on 23-24 April 2009, in Paris, France. The Director-General of the Geological Survey of Japan, AIST participated the meeting, on behalf of the CCOPTS Director who unfortunately couldn’t attend the meeting.
CCOP acknowledges the Geological Survey of Japan, AIST for hosting the WMS server for CCOP’s 1:2M Geological Map of East and Southeast Asia and the 1:1M Geological Maps of Indonesia and Philippines including their own. Appreciation also goes to Korea and Thailand for preparing their own WMS server for their own geological map, and to be accessible through the OneGeology Portal. The CCOP Technical Secretariat continues to encourage the rest of the Member Countries to have their 1:1M Geological Maps be available through the OneGeology Portal.
4) CCOP Metadata Phase II
The CCOP Metadata Project Phase II had been proposed and approved by the 48th CCOP Steering Committee Meeting held in Daejeon, Korea on November 2006, with the financial support of China Geological Survey (CGS). It is the objective of this phase to develop a comprehensive CCOP Metadata Standard for Geoscience in conformity with ISO19115 International Metadata Standard. CGS will not only provide financial support, but also resource persons for the project and is more than happy to share their vast experience in metadata development with the CCOP Member Countries.
The CCOP Metadata Phase II Project cooperated with the EPPM’s Workshop on Metadata Standards and Requirement Analysis for CCOP Natural Gas Resources Metadata held on 1-3 April 2009 in Shanghai, China. The Metadata Working Group was invited to the Workshop and had the opportunity to present the final draft of the standard to the workshop for comments. In conjunction with the workshop, the Working Group also met and finalized the draft.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 49 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009
To date, the CCOP Metadata Standard is ready for publication, and will be distributed in hardcopy and electronic format to the CCOP Metadata Working Group, as well as to the CCOP constituents. The web system for the metadata collection, search, retrieval and maintenance is under development by CGS, and is expected to be completed by early 2010. As soon as the system is completed, a workshop and hands-on training will be organized for the Metadata Working Group or their alternative.

The planned book is aimed at being a companion volume for the 2008 CCOP book entitled “Geoheritage of East and Southeast Asia” which was published in December 2008 and has generally been well received. Taken together these two books will complete CCOP’s central contribution to the UN International Year of Planet Earth. It is planned to publish the ‘Museums’ book before the end of 2009 (if possible before the 2009 Annual Session).
The ‘Museums’ Project consists of two sub-projects: 1) the book highlighting selected museums in each CCOP country 2) a database with details of all Geological Museums in the CCOP Region.
To date, manuscripts from China, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Thailand and Vietnam have been received. Due to the delay of submission of chapters from the rest of the Member Countries, it is foreseen that the target date of publication will be delayed. An Editor’s Meeting at the 46th Annual Session in Vungtau, Vietnam is planned to discuss issues faced in editing and select pictures among those received for each chapter. It is also proposed that new target date of publication will be first quarter of 2010, before the 55th Steering Committee Meeting.
As to the database, an excel file has been produced and circulated to the National Project Coordinators.

2.2. Annual Review of Exploration and Exploitation Activities 2.2.1. Activities of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) (1) Exploration and Production Based on major oil and gas basins and key exploration regions, China focused on comprehensive study, overall deployment, the application of new technology, and preliminary and risk exploration, as well as accelerated fine exploration in mature fields. Significant discoveries and breakthroughs were made in the Sichuan, Ordos, Bohai Bay, Junggar, and Tarim basins. Annual proven oil in place remained over 500 million tons for the fifth consecutive year, and annual proven gas in place at over 300 billion cubic meters for the fourth consecutive year, with newly added proven oil in place of 643 million tons and newly added proven gas in place of 416.80 billion cubic meters in 2008. The reserve replacement ratio reached 116.5%. Six important discoveries were made in the Ordos, Bohai Bay, Tarim, Junggar, Qaidam, Sichuan, Songliao and Hailaer basins in 2008. 1) A discovery in south Beier sag of Hailaer Basin showed favorable prospects-the sag is expected to join with Beizhong Oilfield to a new block with massive reserves. 2) A breakthrough made in risk exploration in Keshen structural belt at Kuche sag of Tarim Basin may probably unveil massive reserves in Keshen region.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 60 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 3) Risk exploration of Fengcheng Formation at the northwestern edge of the Junggar Basin brought a favorable turn to Permian fault belt in this area. 4) A discovery in Moliqing fault depression in Yitong, Songliao Basin identified nearly 100 million metric tons of reserves. 5) A discovery in Qikou sag of Bohai Bay Basin added 170 million metric tons of probable and possible oil in place. In 2008, crude oil and natural gas production capacity increased to 14.21 million metric tons and 11.48 billion cubic meters respectively. 157.45 million metric tons of oil equivalent were produced, 4.3% more than in 2007. Annual crude output recorded steady growth for the seventh consecutive year, and annual gas output witnessed a double-digit increase for the sixth consecutive year. (2) Advance on Technology of Exploration and Development Using innovative and enhanced geological theories and matching exploration technologies of foreland-basin lithostratigraphic, carbonate, and volcanic reservoirs, a breakthrough in the exploration of deep structures in a complex foreland thrust-fold to obtain a commercial gas flow of more than 200,000 cubic meters per day from well Keshen-2 in the Tarim Basin. The seismic data acquisition and processing technologies for the exploration and development was used in the Qaidam Basin. A better understanding of hydrocarbon enrichment law in the basin led to the identification of two target plays with reserves of 100 million tons each, and the discovery of new gas-bearing formations and new types of gas accumulations in the Sanhu area. In Daqing Oilfield, effective industrial testing of strong base ASP flooding is expected to enhance the recovery factor by more than 19%. A weak base AS (Alkali and Surfactant) flooding technology has been successfully pilot-tested, which will help maintaining the steady production of Daqing. The cost-efficient development of extremely low permeability fields provided technical support to the rapid rise of Changqing's productivity. Steam flooding and other development technologies for heavy and ultra heavy oil reservoirs were further improved, stabilizing the production of Liaohe Oilfield. In the Songliao Basin, efficient development technologies for CO2-bearing gas fields and auxiliary CO2 flooding technologies for low permeability reservoirs have been developed. Field test of CO2 flooding delivered a production twice as large as water flooding, and an expected recovery increase of over 12%. Intensified research has been conducted to tackle key technological problems in the exploration and development of the Qaidam Basin. An improved understanding of the dynamic formation mode of biogas reservoirs has extended the exploration realms of deep biogas reservoirs and lithologic reservoirs. Meanwhile, the application of technological packages including merging processing and interpretation of 3D seismic data, natural gas content detection, and interpretation and comprehensive evaluation of well logging data from low-permeability reservoirs, has resulted in an 84% hit rate of sand body in the exploratory drilling of lithologic targets and an 83.7% coincidence rate in the interpretation of complex reservoirs in the west Qaidam Basin and Sanhu region. Uncompartmentalized high-quality reserves were proved at Kunbei fault-terrace belt in oil-rich sags of the basin's western area, as well as 100Mt reserves identified in the southwest and a new reserve replacement region expected in the northwest. New gas-bearing strata series and new types of gas reservoir were discovered in the Sanhu region, and promising prospects were in store thanks to gas exploration efforts along the basin's northern edge.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 61 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 2.2.2. Activities of China Petrochemical Corporation (SINOPEC) (1) Oil and Gas Exploration In 2008, newly added proven geological oil reserves were 299 million tons and the geological reserves of natural gas were 133.1 billion cubic meters. Crude output reached 41.80 million tons and gas output 8.3 billion cubic meters. The newly added crude oil production capacity was 5.8 million tons per year and the newly added capacity of natural gas was 1.33 billion cubic meters. The exploration in 2008 was mainly made in the hidden oil and gas reservoirs. The exploration and development have been combined more to guarantee stable reserves growth. SINOPEC explored the oil-bearing belts of the mature oilfields in the Dongying sag and Miyang sag. The proven geological oil reserves in the east were 160 million tons and have realized stable growth. The exploration in the “three news” (new belt, new layer and new type oil reservoir) achieved new discoveries. The Qingdong-12 well in the Qingdong sag was drilled high-yield oil flow, marking a new chapter for exploration in the Shengli beach oilfield. Successes were also achieved in the primary drilling of such key wells as Shao X14 well in the Gaoyou sag, Yaoshen-2 well in the Songnan basin and Xinshen-2 well in the Jinhu sag. New discoveries were found in the new layers of the mature belts and in the new type of oilfields, paving the way for the growth of new reserves. The exploration in the west was focused on the Tahe region. The exploration area of the Aiding region has been enlarged, making the newly added proven oil reserves exceed 110 million tons. Great progress was made in exploring the Yuqi region and its Yuqi-5 well and Yuqi-3 well both found high-yield commercial oil flow in the Ordovician layer. In addition, the Pai-22 well in the Chepaizi region and the Honhe-26 well in the Zhenjing block were successfully drilled and have formed new reserves and production blocks. The exploration in the south region focused on natural gas exploration in the Sichuan basin where the preliminary exploration in the northeast has been strengthened. Breakthrough was made in the exploration of the Nanjiang region where the Jinxi-1 well has found commercial gas flow, indicating the piedmont tectonic belt of the Micang Mountain would promise favorable reservoirs. The Yuanba-2 well in the Yuanba region also found high-yield gas flow. New progress was made in deep exploration of the western Sichuan region. The Xin-10 well in Xinchang region, through utilizing 3-d-3 seismic exploration, was found to yield high industrial gas flow and promised reserves capacity of 100 billion cubic meters. Meanwhile, through strengthening research, new recognition and progress were made in such fields as the offshore exploration, the prospective marine research and the unconventional exploration. (2) Oil and Gas Development SINOPEC aimed at realizing “maximum recovery ratio, maximum economic interest” in expanding its production capacity and has optimized the scheme of building its production capacity. Through popularizing the horizontal well technology across the new blocks, SINOPEC in 2008 drilled 500 horizontal wells, a year-on-year increase of 148 wells over 2007, accounting for 17.1 percent of the total added. Meanwhile, in accordance with the complicated geological characteristics in new blocks, SINOPEC has timely supervised and analyzed the blocks and accordingly adjusted its exploration plans. As a result, the exploration of 28 blocks, including Bin 80, Cha 9 and Miqian 33 blocks, was suspended or postponed, while the expanding reserves exploration in another 33 blocks, including Lin 17- 30, Luo 53 and Wen 15 blocks, which were newly added. Consequently the production capacity per 1,000-meter drilling footage increased from 10,100 tons to 10,700 tons and the
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 62 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 new block’s newly-added production capacity for the full year reached 3.49 million tons, taking up 60 percent of the total added. The capability of the mature oilfields for steady production was strengthened. In accordance with the characteristics of residual oil in different oil reservoirs and at different development phases, SINOPEC has optimized the well pattern on the ground, optimized production intervals vertically and implemented classified management. Through diversifying layer series and rebuilding injection-production well patterns, SINOPEC has boosted recovery ratio of ultra-high-water and medium-high permeability reservoirs. Through infilling the well pattern, moderating relationship among water quality, well spacing, formation energy and effective injection, SINOPEC realized integrated and synchronous optimization and adjustment of its facilities, hence improved development of low permeability reservoirs. Through actively leveraging methods in developing viscous oil reservoirs, reinforcing steam injection, utilizing steam-flooding and prolonging production cycle, the yield of the mature oilfields was increased. In accordance with the characteristic of large controllable reserves held by the shallow-sea Chengdao oilfield, SINOPEC modulated the diversification and the infilling and thus boosted the drilling speed. SINOPEC also intensified water injection into fracture and vugh hydrocarbon reservoirs, playing a role in renewing energy and slowing down degression. The mature blocks in 2008 newly added 14.02 million tons of recoverable reserves and the recovery ratio increased by 0.25 percentage points. According to the changes of gas reservoirs, SINOPEC optimized and adjusted Puguang Gasfield’s major development plan, cut development of 12 wells and realized 100% success ratio in well drilling. The preparatory work for developing the Puguang Gasfield went smoothly and the major projects have been completed. It is expected that the Puguang Gasfield can come on stream in 2009. SINOPEC, utilizing the horizontal well technology, has further matured the Dawan development plan for boosting output of the single well and the overall efficiency of the gasfield. In the new plan, the drillings will all adopt the horizontal well technology and the number of the development wells will decrease from 25 to 15 while the daily output of a single well aims to increase from 400000 cubic meters to 860000 cubic meters. The annual natural gas output is expected to rise from 3.3 billion cubic meters to 3.7 billion cubic meters. The building of production capacity in the Songnan Gasfield progressed smoothly. All wells were horizontally developed. There were 13 designed wells and the Yaoping-7 well was found open-flow capacity of 1.67 million cubic meters per day and was able to produce 310000 cubic meters per day. The trunk pipeline for outward supplies was built and has started operation. 2.2.3. Activities of China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) (1) Exploration and Production CNOOC’s exploration and development activities are mainly concentrated in Bohai Bay, Western South China Sea, Eastern South China Sea and East China Sea. By the end of 2008, CNOOC’s net proved reserves and net production in offshore China accounted for approximately 83.6% and approximately 87.9% of the total levels respectively. In 2008, CNOOC continued to achieve positive results in independent exploration, with 13 new discoveries and 11 successful appraisals.

Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 68 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 5.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities 5.2.1. The Landslide Survey and Inventory Making Programs Comprehensive work was finished for the 1:100,000 landslide mapping program. A landslide map of 700 counties and a report was issued. In 2009, 29 programs of 1:50,000 geo-hazards survey covering 94,000 km2 of landslide prone areas were initiated. 9,695 meters of drilling was undertaken to understand various landslides. Also a total of 7,362 landslides were surveyed, including 833 fresh landslides. The landslide distribution features in the study areas were clarified. The susceptibility maps and danger maps area were made for each area. The mass-preparation systems were strengthened together with the progress of the Survey and a new prediction scheme was set up. With the results of the Survey, some studies of special topics such as local rainfall critical studies and risk assessment, suggestions for the precaution and evacuation plans were carried out. All the results were handed to the local governments. In 2008, the large landslide survey and risk assessment program completed a 677 catastrophic landslides survey in Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, Shanxi and Qinghai. Thirty four (34) landslides were investigated in detail. With the result of the 1:50,000 landslides survey, the typical catastrophic landslides were clarified. A catastrophic inventory and maps were made in each of these areas. With the typical landslide analysis, the location, boundary, volume, material, location of the shear zone, topography of the shear surface and some other features were recorded. A judgment of the stability of these landslides and predictions of their future stability were made. The mechanism and distribution features of these catastrophic landslides were studied and the key trigger factors were established. A combination of the topography, geo-setting, tectonic feature and rainfall density was found to indicate the slopes prone to have a big volume area failure. Finally, the risk of the landslides and the slopes with the similar combination were assessed. Mapping progress and map content are uniform in the southwest China mountain area and the northwest loess Plateau, and the susceptibility mapping method was confirmed. A system based on risk management was founded to guide the survey, assessment, monitoring, precaution and management. 5.2.2. Research and Demonstration of Crucial Landslide Monitoring and Warning Techniques for the Geological Hazards The demonstration programs of landslide monitoring continue in 2008 in Ailao Mountain, Baota Area, Lanzhou, Beijing, Huayin Mountain, south east Fujian, and east Sichuan.

GEO-RESOURCES SECTOR
1. MINERAL PROGRAMME 1.1. Summary Prices of mining commodities were shaken due to the more than 50% decrease in world oil prices during the Second Semester of 2008. The world economic crisis greatly influenced the price of basic commodities such as nickel, tin, and copper, these commodities being amongst the world’s most needed raw materials for its manufacturing industries. Such conditions forced industrial sectors to reduce demands for raw materials. However, mining investors are not reluctant to carry out mining activities in Indonesia particularly for main core mining products with an estimated low value during exploration but expected to attract much higher prices during production. The issue of a new Mineral and Coal Law in early 2009 seems to accelerate the mining sector related with law enforcement. 1.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities In 2008-2009, The Geological Agency of Indonesia (GAI) conducted inventory and exploration activities in a number of areas with emphasis on iron sand, tin, and manganese. Iron sand exploration was carried out in Sumbawa Regency of West Nusa Tenggara Province and Jeneponto Regency of South Sulawesi Province. In Sumbawa Regency, the iron sand sedimentation is bordered by Brang Diki (Block A) to the west and Brang Tiram (Block B) to the east and is about 2 km long and about 120 m wide. Drilling, with a total of 248.95 m depth, was made in 81 drill-holes collecting 269 samples. The inferred resources of iron sand concentrate in the investigation area are about 325,979.45 tons. In Jeneponto Regency (Punagaya, Bulo-Bulo, Kampala and Pabiringa sectors), the distribution of iron sand reached 6.60 km parallel with the coastline and ranges from 100 - 300 m in width. With MD calculation of 0.78 - 2.97 %, inferred resources of iron sand are 120,286.41 tons. Based on surface-geological mapping and test-pits, induced polarization measurement and drilling activities, the occurrence of tin in Kampar Regency is deduced to spread in young alluvium and the Minas Formation in area of 9,448 km2. By assumption of 5 m layer thickness (IP and drilling estimations), the volume of the deposit is 47,240,000 m3 with tin (SnO2) resources estimated as 472,400 kg. In Bima regency, manganese outcrops were found in a few places, i.e., Pela-Monta District. This prospect area is considered to have wide distribution. Mineral investigation related to conservation purpose was also made at the small- scale mining areas in Bacan, North Moluccas and Manggarai Regency of East Nusa Tenggara Province, Singkep Island, Lingga Regency of Riau Archipelago Province, and Dieng, Banjarnegara Regency of Central Java Province.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 77 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 The second year of a Mineral Exploration Cooperation Project, a cooperation project between Geological Agency and KIGAM, entitled the Development of GIS for Mineral Potential Mapping in Eastern Indonesia carried out GIS training on 4-17 October 2008 in Bandung conducted by Dr. Saro Lee, with the field investigation scheduled for October 2009.

2. ENERGY PROGRAMME 2.1. Summary Indonesian oil and gas reserves status on 1 January 2008 is 8,219.22 MMSTB (Proven) and 170.07 TSCF Potential. The activity of exploration drilling in the last ten years (1999 up to 2008) has tended to discover more Gas compared to Oil reserves. A total of 112 new signed Oil and Gas contracts have been listed up to year 2008 and the signature bonus received by the Government is US$ 298,5 million and the exploration firm commitment will be a total of US$ 2,392 million. The CBM development opportunities in Indonesia are increasingly promising and investors will be encouraged by the Government to acquire CBM working areas. Indonesia is one of the richest countries in terms of geothermal energy resources. There are 265 geothermal areas with 28,112 MW potential resources. However, only 962 MW or less than 3% of the total potential resource has been utilized for power plants. A larger part of geothermal areas (60%) are still in the stage of preliminary survey. These areas need to increase status of survey that can be held by government, company or in collaboration. In 2007-2008, the Geological Agency, has conducted several activities in updating and adding energy resources data and information, particularly coal, peat, oil shale, oil and gas. These activities were conducted in East-South and West Kalimantan, Riau and West Irian Jaya. 2.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities 2.2.1. Hydrocarbons Activity of Upstream Oil and Gas operations in Indonesia Currently, there are 190 National and International Oil and Gas Contractors operating in Indonesia. This consists of 51 Contractors working in the production stage, 13 Contractors carrying out development planning, and 126 Contractors undertaking exploration.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 78 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 The reserves status of Indonesian oil and gas on 1 January 2008 are Oil and Gas 8,219.22 MMSTB (proven) and 170.07 TSCF (Potential) respectively. The activity of exploration drilling in the last ten years (1999 up to 2008) has tended to discover more Gas than Oil reserves. The success ratio of Gas reserve discovery in this period is approximately 31% while the success ratio of oil reserve discovery is slightly lower as much as 23%. Indonesia is undergoing a decline in oil production. More than 90% of the current oil production comes from mature fields with a rate of decline of approximately 5-15% per year. Oil production during the last 15 years is facing a declining production stage. Gas production during last 15 years rose to attain a peak of 8,063 MMSCFD in 2003, but then declined to approximately 7,125 MMSCFD in 2008. An effort has to be made by the Government of Indonesia (GOI) in order to increase new discoveries and oil and gas production optimization. The agenda of GOI during 2008- 2009, includes: 1. Intensive Exploration and exploitation of oil and gas by offering new working areas and by increasing seismic surveys to obtain new data in frontier and un-explored Basins. 2. Production optimization of existing fields (work over, infill drilling, EOR technology application). A total of 112 new oil and gas contracts have been listed up to year 2008 with the signature bonus received by the Government amounting to US$ 298,5 million and the exploration firm commitments totaling US$ 2,392 million. In offering new oil and gas working areas, the Government of Indonesia anounced the 12 winners of oil and gas working areas for the period II in 2009. The firm commitment for the 3 years exploration period, consists of geology and geophysical study of about US$ 12,9 million, 2D seismic survey along 5892 km of about US$ 17,5 million, and 11 exploration wells at US$ 133,45 million. The signature bonus is about US$ 21.65 million. Following this success, the government further offered 24 of oil and gas blocks consisting of 17 blocks offered under a regular tender and 7 blocks offered under a joint study mechanism. Most of the blocks offered were located in the eastern part of Indonesia. In order to support the GOI Policy in the oil and gas subsector, especially exploration activities, the Geological Agency of Indonesia has published a new Map of Indonesian Sedimentary Basins, based on gravity and geological Data. This map covers 128 sedimentary basins as an update the previous sedimentary basins map. The CBM development opportunity in Indonesia is becoming more promising. Investors will be encouraged by the Government to acquire CBM working areas by providing the investment certainty in CBM development through established CBM regulation and Terms and Conditions, information of availability of subsurface data and infrastructure, and data information of CBM resources distributed in 11 coal basins. The current status (as of May, 2009) is 10 Blocks of contract signed, consisting of 5 Blocks located in East Kalimantan Basins (Kutai, Sangatta I & II, Tabulako and Bentian Besar Blocks), 2 Blocks in South Kalimantan Basin (Baroti Basin: Barito Banjar I and II Blocks) and 3 Blocks in South Sumatera (Indragiri Block - Ombilin Basin and Sekayu and Ogan Komering Blocks-South Sumatra Basin). In 2009, the Government of Indonesia plans to continue offering new working areas for CBM. The selected areas to be offered will be in the East Kalimantan and Central Sumatra Regions.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 79 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 Coal gas drilling and measurement has been done in Tanah Bumbu, South Kalimantan. In this area, the calorific value ranges from 6,197 - 7,252 ca/gram with water content quite low between 4.72 - 7.11%, volatiles are above 42%, ash content is 1.49 - 15.62% and sulphuric value is 0.27 - 0.58. The resources of coal in this area, assuming 100 - 500 m depth, are estimated as 107,364,977 tons coal resources with gas content reaching 112,733,226 tons (300 - 1,000 m depth). To estimate Coalbed Methane is divided into two blocks, Block I (depth limit 300 - 500 m) and Block II (depth limit 500 - 1000 m), coal distribution length measured from the drill-hole CSAT 01 at the distance of 3000 m strike, total coal gas content is 5,164,389,763 Cuft, with chemical composition: O2 519,715,517 cuft, Ni : 3,149,305,937 cuft, CH4 : 402,255,325 cuft and CO2 : 1,361,567 cuft. 2.2.2. Geothermal The results of a geothermal integrated survey in 2008 by Agency of Geology, in 3 areas of survey (Massepe and Cubadak of Pasaman Regency, West Sumatera), indicated an increase of resources status to reserves estimated as 234 Mwe. Geothermal resources and reserves status of 2008 was 27.7 MWe found in 265 geothermal locations. 2.2.3. Coal The total of coal resources of Indonesia up to 2008 (Figure 9) is 104,756.83 million tons consisting of Low Caloric value (< 5100 cal/gr, adb) 21,183.05 million tons (20.22%), Medium Caloric value (5100 – 6100 cal/gr, adb) 69,550.65 million tons (66.39%), High Caloric value (6100 – 7100 cal/gr, adb) 13,021.50 million tons (12.43%) and Very High Caloric value (>7100 cal/gr, adb) 1,001.64 million tons (0.96%). Based on the stage of investigation, the coal resources comprises measured: 22,251.57 million tons, indicated: 15,738.08 million tons, inferred: 32,146. 79 million tons and hypothetic: 34,620.40 million tons The total of peat resources up to 2008, based on CGR investigations, is 9,086.08 million tons - dry weight with caloric value of 1405 – 5950 kal/gram. There was an increase of 473.84 million tons from resources in 2007 (8,612.24 million tons) as the result of investigation in Dadahup, Kapuas Regency, Central Kalimantan Province, Tanjung Satai, West Kalimantan Province and Tumbang Nusa, Central Kalimantan Province. Peat inventory and exploration have been carried out in Tanjung Satai, Ketapang Regency, West Kalimantan and Tumbang Nusa, Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan. In Tanjung Santai, peat has indicated average ash grade is 14,11%, total sulphuric average 0.25%, and caloric value average 4,282 cal/gr which is classified as topogenus type deposit. Probable peat resource >1 m thick in the investigation area is 53,683,651.5 tons-dry peat, with the assumption of an average bulk density of 0.13. The area of peat distribution of > 1 m thickness is about 17,654 ha. In the Tumbang Nusa, as the result of 50 drill-holes, peat thickness is indicated as 0.05 m to 6.40 m at 30.279 with organic main compound and water. Its organic element formed molecule chain of humate acid, fulvat, humin, carbohydrate, wax, protein, lignite, cellulose, bitumen, and other related compounds. The peat resource in this area, is estimated by multiplying vast extent of peat distribution by average thickness between two isopachs and is: inferred resources 1,220,064 million m3 or resources of 1,220,064 x 106 x 120 kg = 146,407.68 x 106 kg or 146.4 million tons, dry peat (+ 5% water, average bulk density of laboratory result is 120 kg/m3).
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 80 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 Oil shale has been carried out in Nanga Dangkan, Sintang Regency, West Kalimantan and Rokan, Riau Province. In the Nanga Dangkan, Sintang Regency, the oil shale deposit partly occurred as intercalations in shale or claystone, blackish grey and blackish dark-brown, shaleous, dyke, oil/tar smell when in flame. Retort Extraction analyses of 12 shale samples indicated that 4 of them containing oil (ND-09; 4 l/ton, ND-10; 10 l/ton, ND-20; 10 l/ton, ND27; 40 l/ton). The rest is unidentified, due to oil migration caused by over maturity. The inferred resource of oil shale in this area is 30,091,735 tons shale, bearing oil resources of 2,373,927.68 barrels. Retort analyses taken from drilling sample indicated oil content of 0.2 l/ton - 40 l/ton. According to pyrolysis analyses of rock evaluation, 6 clays from the Serpih Silat formation showed a number of extracts with “very fine” category (between 2000 - 4000 ppm), while the highest numbers found at NS-02-08 and NS-02-10 (> 5000 ppm). Extract ratio against organic shale carbon showed values between 104 - 147 mg/g TOC that categorized as rock producing oil (> 100 mg/gTOC), i.e., Serpih Silat Formation containing oil of 0.2 l/t - 40 l/ton with early maturity level up to maturity level. It is estimated that inferred resources are 22,986,700 tons with oil resources of about 1,591,270.145 barrels. Oil shale Preliminary Investigation in Rokan, Riau Province indicates hypothetic resources of approximately 92,836,067 tons consisting of 80,663,187 tons in Block I and 12,172,880 tons in Block II. Retort analyses showed a relatively small oil content, 2 - 13 l/ton, with oil shale resources containing 42,497,229 tons of oil. 2.3. Proposed Future Activities In line with the implementation of the CCOP EPPM Programme, Indonesia is willing to propose some short courses and training on Exploration, Production and Development Methods and Challenges of Deepwater Fields, CBM and Unconventional gas (Gas Hydrate). These courses and training campaigns are expected to be held in Indonesia, supported by resource persons of CCOP. 2.4.

Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 81 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME 3.1. Summary In 2008-2009, the Geological Agency of Indonesia conducted hydrogeological mapping at 1:250.000 Scale in Sheet 1713 - Amuntai, Kalimantan, Sheet 0516 - Sirombu, 0517-Lahewa, 0616-Teluk Dalam, and part of 0617 - Sibolga, Sumatera, Sheet 3114 - Bosnik, 3214 - Sawai, and 3314 - Sarmi, Papua; Mapping on groundwater recharge and discharge areas in Palangkaraya and Pagatan, Kalimantan; groundwater basin survey in Cilacap Regency, Central Java and Karawang-Bekasi, West Java; and general groundwater research in Indonesia. 3.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities 3.2.1. Hydrogeological Mapping Scale 1:250,000 The main objective of hydrogeological mapping at 1:250,000 scales are to obtain information on hydrogeological units, groundwater occurrence, and aquifer productivity within the mapping area. In Amuntai, Kalimantan (Sheet 1713), three aquifer systems are identified in the map area, i.e. aquifers in which flow is intergranular, aquifers in which flow is both through fissures and interstices, and aquifers in which flow is through fissures, fractures, and channels. Extensive, moderately productive aquifers are mainly found in the area of an intergranular aquifer system. In this area, aquifers have a largely varying transmissivity and wells yield generally less than 5 L/sec. In Sirombu (Sheet 0516), Lahewa (Sheet 0517), Teluk Dalam (Sheet 0616) and Sibolga (Sheet 0617), Sumatera, hydrogeologically, three aquifer systems are identified in the map area, i.e. aquifers in which flow is intergranular, aquifers in which flow is both through fissures and interstices, and aquifers in which flow is through fractures. Productive aquifers are found mainly in plain and karstic groundwater provinces. In Bosnik (Sheet 3114), Sawai (Sheet 3214), dan Sarmi (Sheet 3314), Papua, based on rock type and their porosity, three aquifer systems are identified in the map area, i.e. aquifers in which flow is intergranular, aquifers in which flow is both through fissures and interstices, and aquifers in which flow is through fractures. Extensive and moderately productive aquifers are found mainly in the area of an intergranular aquifer system, e.g. in the Papua Plain of alluvial deposits which is located in the east of Sawai and Mamberamo. In this area, wells yield generally less than 5 L/sec. 3.2.2. Mapping on Groundwater Recharge and Discharge Areas Hydrogeological mapping were also done by mean of thematic mapping on groundwater recharge-discharge areas of the groundwater basins in South Kalimantan Province based on scale 1:250,000. The main objective of this mapping is to delineate the boundary of recharge and discharge areas of each groundwater basin within the province. Geological Agency of Indonesia has publihed a Groundwater Basin Map of Indonesia. The map consist of 421 groundwater basins and will be of benefit to all kind of users and especially for local government in managing water resources in the area. 3.2.3. Groundwater Survey In 2009, groundwater surveys cover the area of groundwater resources potential located at Baturaja Groundwater Basin (GwB), and survey on groundwater conservation in Cilacap Regency, Central Java Province and Karawang-Bekasi GwB.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 82 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 The survey of groundwater resources potential in Baturaja Groundwater Basin (GwB) indicated amount of groundwater recharge to shallow aquifer system of approx. 613.7 million m3/year and amount of through flow (groundwater inflow in confined aquifer system) attains 3.05 million m3/year. In this basin, two areas of groundwater potency were identified, i.e. areas of high and low groundwater potency both on unconfined and confined aquifer systems. The area of high groundwater potency covers Baturaja City and the surrounding areas. Confined aquifer system can be obtained at depths of approxmately 15 to 45 m below ground surface (mbgs) and depth to piezometric levels are in the order of 15 to 17 mbgs. Optimum yields of the wells are expected to be 2.0 to 4.0 L/sec by arranging the well distance approx. 25 to 160 m. The survey of groundwater conservation in Cilacap Regency, Central Java Province covers five groundwater basins. They indicated that in groundwater discharge area, analysis of change in groundwater quantity and quality area between initial and actual conditions can be subdivided into four zones, Zone I (Safe Zone-1), Zone II (Safe Zone-2), Zone III (Safe Zone-3), and Zone IV (Safe Zone-4). They show that a change in groundwater quantity occurs by change in phreatic and piezometric levels of less than 40% of the total available drawdown. Actual phreatic levels are measured in between 0.5 and 5.0 mbgs. Locally, piezometric levels above or near ground surface and the deepest levels were measured less than 5.0 mbgs. In the Karawang-Bekasi GwB, analysis of change in groundwater quantity and quality of groundwater discharge area shows the basin can be subdivided into four zones, that are Zone I (Damage Zone), Zone II (Critical Zone), Zone III (Buffer Zone), and Zone IV (Safe Zone). More attention should be paid to the first two zones due to the facts that over- exploitation of groundwater has already had negative impacts on the environment of the area, mainly lowering groundwater level and decreasing groundwater quality. In those two zones, change in groundwater quantity which is shown by change in groundwater levels of more than 60% of the total available drawdown. Actual phreatic levels are measured at more than 30 mbgs. 3.2.4. Groundwater/Hydrogeological Research Groundwater/hydrogeological research which was conducted during this period consisted of “Use of Isotope and Hydrochemical Analysis for Delineating Groundwater Recharge Area of the Bandung-Soreang GwB, West Java (Second Phase)”, “Use of Isotope and Hydrochemical Analysis for Delineating Groundwater Recharge Area of the Semarang- Demak GwB, Central Java (Second Phase)”, “Use of Isotope and Hydrochemical Analysis for Delineating Groundwater Recharge Area of the Semarang-Demak GwB, Central Java (Second Phase)” and “Groundwater Exploration and Development in Areas of Water Shortage”. In the Bandung-Soreang GwB, West Java (Second Phase), in general, hydrochemical analysis and natural isotop 18O and 2H can be used to determine the origin of groundwater, whereas radioactive isotopes are used for determining groundwater age in the area of the groundwater system. Analysis of the groundwater flow system during the second phase research gave results as follows: • Weighted mean value of 18O and 2H for each raingauge station shows the equation of Local Meteoric Water Line (LMWL) δ2H = 9.3 δ 18O + 21.5. • LMWL equation can be used as an initial means for determining the relationship between groundwater system and elevation of land especially for the recharge area in the northern part of the basin.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 83 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 • 14C analysis shows the oldest groundwaters were identified in PT. CGN (Cimahi) (more than 40,000 years), in the area of PT Bintang Agung (Gedebage) and Hotel Hyatt (Jln. Merdeka) is up to 10,000 year. Groundwater of less than 5,000 year age can be found in Grand Hotel Lembang. In Semarang-Demak GwB, analysis of the groundwater flow system during the second phase research can be briefly described as follows: • The relationship between 18O and 2H of groundwater shows the origin of groundwater as recharging from the southern part of the basin. • Inadequate data for analyzing 14C of groundwater meant isotope-age cannot be drawn, nevertheless it is indicated that groundwater flow is also coming from the northeast and east of the basin. The groundwater Exploration and Development in Areas of Water Shortage research was conducted in 24 provinces by surface mapping of the hydrogeological situation and supported by ge-electrical sounding. From the groundwater exploration results 139 point locations were selected for performing groundwater exploration drilling in order to obtained important information for developing groundwater use, mainly depth of the potential aquifer and its parameters. The groundwater quantification and Modeling in Pasuruan Gw B, East Java, groundwater can be divided into east and northwest, and flux boundary in the south and west of model area at elevation of 300 m above mean sea level. Finite difference grids were designed by 178 columns and 132 rows with grid spacing of 250 m. The simulation of the groundwater flow was done and results in the center of groundwater abstraction can be set into five zones, that are Zone I (Qabs=5.47 L/s/cell, Zone II (Qabs=6.10 L/s/cell, Zone III (Qabs=7.12 L/s/cell, Zone IV (Qabs=0.78 L/s/cell, and Zone V (Qabs=0.99 L/s/cell. 3.2.5. Groundwater Database and Information Management System Groundwater data and information which were collected and analysed from the above activities are now being managed and continuously developed by the Geological Agency. All those data and information on groundwater can be accessed from our URL of database (http://gis.plg.esdm.go.id and/or http://gis.dgtl.esdm.go.id). 3.2.6. Workshop The National Workshop on “Groundwater Utilization Based on Groundwater Basin” was held in June 2009 in cooperation with Diponegoro University, Semarang. 3.3. Proposed Future Activities The activities related to groundwater which are now being conducted by Geological Agency during the year 2009 such as: a) Systematic Hydrogeological Mapping Scale 1:250,000 : Sheet 1015-Kota Dabok; Sheet 2205-Seba; Sheet 2807-Selaru Island; 2808- Yamdena Island; 2809-Molu Island; Sheet 1010-Kotaagung; Sheet 1919-Tarakan Island and 1920-Sebatik Island. b) Survey on Groundwater Resource Potential Scale 1:100,000 in Mataram-Selong Gw B, West Nusa Tenggara; Ternate Gw B, Maluku; Payakumbuh Gw B, Sumatera. c) Survey on Groundwater Conservation of the GwB, comprising: Jakarta GwB; Serang-Tangerang Gw B, Banten; Bogor Gw B, West Java. d) Integrated Survey on Groundwater and Environmental Geology in the Region of Jabodetabekpunjur (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi, Puncak, Cianjur). e) Groundwater Research, Engineering, and Modeling in the Bandung-Soreang GwB, West Java; the Semarang-Demak GwB, Central Java and the Denpasar-Tabanan GwB.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 84 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 3.4. Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities Technical assistance from CCOP is required, mainly as follows : 1) Groundwater quantity and quality monitoring in urban groundwater basins (network design of groundwater monitoring wells, installation, expertise and budget). 2) Groundwater quantification and modeling in urban development groundwater basins (expertise, training, budget). 3.5. Assistance Offered to CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities No report. 3.6. Other Comments The CCOP groundwater project is needed and useful for CCOP member countries and the project should be continued and be further developed continuously in order to give much more benefit to the member countries. In future some problems should be made clear in order to improve hydrogeological knowledge of the hydrogeologists from the member countries. Some efforts can be made by the CCOP Project, among other things are: 1) Groundwater experts from donour countries (Japan, China, Korea) should transfer their knowlege on groundwater management especially on technical aspects. 2) Hydrogeologists from the member countries should be involved in evaluating and analysing data instead of merely collecting and supplying the data needed by the project.

The bathymetric data of Toyapakeh Strait show that the slope is very deep until 200 m from the island but in the western part of P. Nusa Lembongan diminishes gradually to 90 m from coastline. The slope gradient of the Toyapakeh is very steep and showing several small basins. Coastal process and characteristics of the Nusa Penida Island can be divided into 3 parts such as: sandy beach; mangrove swamp; and cliff beach. Sandy beach can be found in the northern part of Nusa Penida Island, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan Islands. In Nusa Penida, sandy beach is found from Toyapakeh to Suane village. The color of sands is yellowish white with size from fine grain to coarse grain and poor sorting. Sand is dominated by biogenic material from reef limestone. Mangrove swamp is located in the northeastern part of Lembongan Island and cliff beach is found in the southern part of Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. The cliffs consist of limestone with heights of 200m above sea level caused by tilting of the hanging wall. 4.2.2. Binuangen Coasts, West Java Bathymetric survey of the study area shows relatively flat topography with depths between 20 m to 50 m. The sea floor topography of the study area shows that a basin occurs at the center of the study area with depth of more than 50m. Steep slope can be found near Tanjung Mantiyung and Tanjung Panto which are characterized by high density contours with depth difference between 2 m to 20 m. Results of coastal characteristic mapping in the survey area can be divided into two types such as: Type 1, characterized by sandy beaches which are found at the eastern and western parts of the study area such as along the Sukamanah coast and Tanjungan coast. Type 2, characterized by sandy beaches with rock which are found at Binuangen coast, Mantiyung coast and Sinarwaras coast. Mangrove, boulder and seawall are also found at several places along the coasts. Surficial sediments from 73 samples have been analyzed and can de divided into 4 types such as sand, sandy silt, silty sand and gravel. Sand distributed along the coast of the study area at the depth between 2-50m, with composition of quartz, calcite, black minerals and molusc fragment. Sandy silt can be found only 10% from the whole of study area and

Silty sand is distributed at Kertamulya waters at a depth of 14 m to 20 m. Gravel is found locally at the depth of 15 m to 25 m at the west, center and east of the study area. 4.2.3. Reconnaissance Surveys along the Northern Coast of Java The Marine Geological Institute of Indonesia and Korean Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources conducted a reconnaissance survey along the northern coasts of Java in April 2009. The reconnaissance areas were located in Pondok Bali coast, Eretan, Tirtamaya, Muararejo, Pesona Alam and Pandan Laut beach. In conjunction with the reconnaissance survey, land subsidence of Semarang city will also be surveyed. The aims of the reconnaissance survey along the coastline of northern Java are to know the areas of erosion and land subsidence. The Indonesian Government made the project proposal to UNDP through KIGAM for supporting the MGI activities to conduct coastal geohazard surveys in Indonesia. 4.3. Proposed Future Activities The Marine Geological institute, proposed to the government a project to conduct a survey of Coastal Erosion along the Northern Coast of Java. The area is located from Serang to Surabaya. The study will focused on erosion problems and land subsidence which cause costly damage to buildings, roads, railway tracks and other items of urban infrastructure along the northern coastline of Java. 4.4. Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities In relation to the proposed future activities of the Marine Geological Institute (MGI) to the government of Indonesia in 2010, we proposed to the Korean Government through KIGAM and CCOP to assist and support the Project of Coastal Erosion along the Northern Coast of Java. The assistance required can be as follows: 1) Capacity building of MGI staff to conduct coastal surveys in Indonesia. 2) Joint research in coastal dynamics along the coastline of Indonesia. 3) Korean Expert in coastal dynamics to work in Indonesia for several months or a year.

5. GEO-HAZARDS PROGRAMME 5.1. Summary The Geological Agency of Indonesia has conducted a volcano mitigation, volcano hazard zone mapping, inventory of potential locations for volcano tourism, and earthquake and tsunami mitigation in and around Indonesia. The result of the investigations included a published digital map concerning earthquake hazards and mitigation in West Java, Padang, Bengkulu and a database of destructive earthquakes in Indonesia for period 1629-2007. Landslide mitigation and susceptibility maps are also published by the Geological Agency of Indonesia such as Landslide Susceptibility Map of Lombok, Madiun and Probolinggo.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 87 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 The Geological Agency of Indonesia undertook a joint technical cooperation project with the The Bundesanstalt fur Geowissenscaften und Rochstoffe, Germany (BGR)/Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources in Semarang and Aceh. The topics of the project are : 1) Land Subsidence in Semarang Municipality, 2) Risk Mapping of Central Java Province and 3) Management of Georisks Province Nangroe Aceh Darussalam. The Geological Agency of Indonesia and BGR have also published the Guidebook for Assessing the Risks from Natural Hazards with case study: Province of Central Java in May 2009. 5.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities 5.2.1. Land Subsidence in Semarang Municipality The Geological Agency of Indonesia and The Bundesanstalt fur Geowissenscaften und Rochstoffe, Germany (BGR) conducted joint research in Mitigation of Georisks in Semarang City from 2007 to date. The research focuses on land subsidence using Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) methods. The workshop of the research project was conducted in Semarang in 2008 in cooperation with Bappeda of Jawa Tengah Province. The land subsidence in Semarang is supposed to be resulting chiefly from compaction in alluvial sediments, which contain clay. Compaction is a natural process but can also be caused by uncontrolled usage and over-exploitation of ground water. Clay compaction is irreversible. According to unconfirmed data, the amount of groundwater abstraction in Semarang greatly exceeds the amount of natural replenishment. This has been leading to rapid decline of water levels and drying out of clay layers that finally results in annual land subsidence of -15 cm and more. The land subsidence in Semarang has been leading to severe and costly damage to buildings, roads, railway tracks and other items of urban infrastructure. As a consequence, flooding frequently and increasingly hits the city and is most severely affecting the living conditions especially of the poor urban population. If land subsidence continues, flooding of wide areas of the city of Semarang and progressive economic losses cannot be ruled out. 5.2.2. Volcanos Observation and analysis of seismic data from analog recording with one vertical seismometer from the Volcano Observatory is currently done in: Inerie, Ilie Boleng, Merapi, Slamet, Raung, Kerinci, Sangiangapi. The purpose of monitoring is to understand the volcanic activities related to the volcano early warning system. The early warning of active volcanoes applied in Lokon, Dempo, Dukono, Ibu, Semeru, and Krakatau. Investigation of active volcanos has been done by three methods: geophysical, GPS, and geological methods. The investigations are located at Batur, Raung, Gamalama, Kelud (Geophysical), Gamalama, Kelud, Soputan, Kaba (GPS), Galunggung, Kaba, Sumbing-Sumatera (Geological). The other research on active volcano was done at Guntur. Installation of volcano monitoring equipment (seismograph) was done at Awu, Lewotobi, Iya, Gamalama volcanoes. Survey and mapping hazards of some volcanoes have been done at Sangeangapi, Tambora, Rinjani, Arjuno Welirang, Ibu, Dukono, Ilie Boleng, Inelika, Lewotobi, inerie, Rokatenda, Anak Ranakah, Lere Baleng, Tangkoko, and Kelimutu. In July 2008-June 2009 periods, two volcanoes, Karangetang and Slamet volcano had erupted. Karangetang eruption caused many people to be evacuated.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY PROGRAMME 6.1. Summary During the period of July 2008 to July 2009, the environmental geology activities covered environmental geological study for land use planning and regional development, environmental geological study for domestic waste disposal, environmental geology in mining areas, and environmental geology in karstic region. The geological study for land use planning and regional development was done in the autonomy regions or provinces where they have a high priority in development or the area that is indicated at high risk in change of geological environment. Intensive geological studies for domestic waste disposal were
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 91 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 carried out at cities with fast growing development. Environmental geology surveys in mining areas were undertaken in areas with the presence of illegal mining and un-reclaimed abandoned mines and quarries. Environmental geology investigation of the karstic areas was carried out in areas where there are conflicts of landuse in areas covered dominantly with karstic limestones. Another activity related to environmental geology is dissemination of environmental geological information to the provincial and regency government. 6.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities The environmental geological studies for land use planning and regional development activities were done in the autonomous regions or provinces that have high priority in their development or the regions where there is indicated a high risk of environmental damage. They include the areas applying land use development and spatial planning without consideration of the geological phenomena. The activities were resulted the production of environmental geological maps, quaternary geological maps, neo tectonic maps and reports of the geology. In this fiscal year, this activity has been carried out in the provinces of Central Java, East Java, Central Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, West Sumatra, West Nusatenggara, East Nusatenggara and Maluku. The environmental geological study for domestic waste disposal site selection was done in cities where waste disposal had become a local government problem due to objections by their population. Two fast growing cities were selected for this activity, namely the city of Balikpapan, East Kalimantan and the city of Parigi, Central Sulawesi. This resulted in recommendation of alternative sites for location of waste disposal based on the geological conditions. Environmental geology surveys in the mining areas were done in West Sumatra, Lampung, West Sulawesi, and Gorontalo. This activity gave some recommendations for spatial and landuse planning of abandoned mines and reclamation and rehabilitation of pits and quarries. Environmental geology investigation of the karstic area was carried out in Central Java and West Nusatenggara. The activity was resulted a maturity classification of karstic limestones, geological resources information such as groundwater and construction materials, and also highlighted the beauty of the karstic topography. 6.3. Proposed Future Activities A similar environmental geology programme will be carried out in other parts of the country. Programme Contact Person: H. Danaryanto Geological Agency of Indonesia. Jl.

7. GEO-DATA AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME 7.1. Summary Under the Geodata and Information Programme, the following activities were carried out during the review period: a) participation in the Geological Museum book project b) development of the geological museum database c) development of geological information metadata
7.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities 7.2.1. Geological Museum Book Project The CCOP book entitled “Geological Museum of East and Southeast Asia” is aimed to be published as a companion to the previously published “Geoheritage of East and Southeast Asia” book (November 2008). Both of the books are attributed as a contribution of CCOP to the UN International Years of Planet Earth (IYPE). The publication of CCOP book “Geological Museums in East and Southeast Asia” is scheduled to be launched at the 52nd Steering Committee Meeting on November 2009 in Vietnam. Concurrent with the rapid development of the geosciences and increasing public demand for geological information to be used for many purposes, in Indonesia the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) has developed various geological museums in several areas with specific and important geological heritage sites. These newly built thematic geological museums will complete the network of the existing Geological Museum of Indonesia in Bandung. The philosophical background behind the decision to develop geological museums is an understanding that such museums will play an important role as an effective educational facility for the dissemination of geological information related to natural resources, the environment and hazards. Nowadays, there are eight museums that can be classified as geological museums in Indonesia, as follows: 1. Geological Museum of Indonesia in Bandung West Java 2. Ketep Volcano Museum in Magelang, Central Java 3. Batur Volcano Museum in Bangli, Bali 4. Merapi Volcano Museum in Sleman, Yogyakarta 5. Karst Museum in Wonogiri 6. Aceh Tsunami Museum, Banda Aceh, Nangroe Aceh Darusalam 7. Gawitra Oil and Gas Museum, Jakarta 8. Sangiran Geoarcheological Museum, Sragen, Central Java The draft of the a manuscript consisting of 34 pages description of these geological museums, including related illustration and maps, has been submitted to the CCOP TS to be processed accordingly by the assigned CCOP editorial board. 7.2.2. Geological Museum Database In conjunction with the Geological Book project, this sub-project is also assigned to create a searchable database with details of every Geological Museum in each CCOP Member Country. Nowadays, there are more than 180 active museums in Indonesia. Most of them can be regarded as natural history, cultural and specific interest museums which are run under the management of provincial or regency governments as well as private museums.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 93 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 The geological museum database will be developed in a more concise format covering all museums in Indonesia that display any information associated with geoscience. Information which will be put in the database will consist of museum name, locality map and address, number of collections, timetable of public services, and museum management. Up to the present time, the database is still under development and is not yet submitted to CCOP Technical Secretariat. 7.2.3. Published Map of Geological Agency of Indonesia In December 2008, The Geological Agency of Indonesia published a Map of gravity anomalies of Indonesia at the scale of 1:3,000,000. This map has been followed up by producing a new Map of Sedimentary Basins of Indonesia at the scale of 1:5,000,000 (2009). This map was made based on the combination of the gravity data anomaly map of Indonesia and the geologic map of Indonesia and the geologic data base of Indonesia made by The Geological Agency of Indonesia. The Marine Geological Institute has also published a new map of Offshore Mineral Resources in Indonesian Waters. This map was compiled based on marine geological and geophysical surveys of Indonesia. 7.3. Proposed Future Activities The Geological Agency of Indonesia will be responsible for handling the geological museum networking in Indonesia. These geological museums have to be managed and developed for the maximum benefit of the public, especially students. In order to understand the earth and its environment the museum should function as an education facility of real geology. Dissemination of geological information will usually take place during the observation of attractive displays while the learning processes will be achieved through the enrichment of intellectual thinking which in turn will lead to the improvement of people’s inspiration, innovation and creativity. 7.4. Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities Considering the above mentioned facts, the Geological Agency of Indonesia welcomes technical assistance in the following areas: a) Expert advice on formulating effective geological museum displays, b) On-the-job-training on various aspects of museum collection documentation, including database development and management.

GEO-RESOURCES SECTOR
1. MINERAL PROGRAMME 1.1. Summary In Japan, the import and consumption of metals and industrial minerals remained strong during the early half of 2008. However, these decreased significantly after the world economic crisis of September 2008, and Japanese industry has been hit seriously by the depression. Though, the prices of most minerals have temporarily decreased since the crisis, some rare metals such as heavy rare-earth-element (REE) is maintaining higher prices. Thus, mineral exploration by the public and private sectors has continued steadily in spite of financial difficulties. The main targets of the mineral exploration are not only base-metals but also rare metals such as nickel, uranium and heavy REE for which demand will grow at an accelerated pace. 1.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities In AIST, similarly to the last year, the Rare Metal Task Force has conducted integrated research concerning material recycling technology, usage-saving technology, the development of alternative materials, and mineral exploration. The mineral resources research group of Institute for Geo-Resources and Environment has been in charge of the mineral exploration, and are conducting the following four programs: 1) study on the concentration mechanism of rare metals and resource evaluation, 2) the evaluation of non- metallic mineral resources, 3) the construction of a mineral resources database, and 4) international cooperation and consulting on mineral resources. For the REE program, the group has conducted a three-year joint project (2008-2010) of rare earth potentiality in South Africa and other areas with the cooperation of the Council for Geoscience of the Republic of South Africa and the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals Corporation (JOGMEC). The group, with University of Tokyo, Kyushu University and other universities in Japan, has also conducted a four-year project (2007-2010) on the study of concentration mechanisms and the potential evaluation of heavy REE and indium in the CCOP region with a grant from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (Figure 1). In this project, a study on the weathering crusts of granites and alkali basalt distributed in Laos and Vietnam was completed at the end of FY 2008 and the results are being prepared for publication in 2009. The group will publish the 1:3,000,000 geologic map of central Asia in late 2009, and are preparing to publish the mineral resources map of the same scale and area in early 2010. 1.3. Other organizations and private companies JOGMEC (see 2.3.1.) concluded a contract with the Kazakhstan Government in June 2008 for the three-year mineral exploration program of tungsten distributed in the Ushkol-
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 97 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 Mulaly district. JOGMEC has also started mineral exploration programs in northern Vietnam, Cambodia, and northern Australia from 2008: the targets are base-metal and REE. Major trading companies and their group companies have actively conducted mineral exploration and exploitation programs mainly in South Africa, Australia, and Latin America: the targets are Ni, Co, PGE, Cu and Fe. The combination of major trading and electric power companies has also conducted U exploration programs in Kazakhstan, Australia, and the United States. The overseas programs above have mostly been operated as joint-ventures together with local companies. The Society of Resource Geology (SRG) held two symposia related to rare metals in early 2009. These were “New scope of resource geology; rare metals and rare earths” in the Japan Geoscience Union (JPGU) Meeting in Chiba (2009.05), and “Geology and mineral resources of Vietnam and surrounding region” in the annual meeting of SRG in Tokyo (2009.06).

2. ENERGY PROGRAMME 2.1. Summary The major activities in Japan on energy resources during the past year concerned oil, gas, methane hydrates and geothermal sources. There was little activity on coal resources. 2.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities 2.2.1. Oil and Gas 2.2.1.1. Domestic Exploration The main oil and gas fields exist in the basins of Niigata, Yamagata, Akita and Hokkaido regions in Japan, and gas fields are expected in the basins along the Pacific Coast. In FY2008, several investigations and developments in the oil and gas fields were carried out. JOGMEC (see 2.3.1.) supported the private sector financially and technologically. The Technology Research Center (TRC) of JOGMEC carried out various technological projects including methane gas hydrate exploration, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), reserves evaluation, reservoir characterization, dynamic modeling, drilling, gas to liquid (GTL), and carbon capture and storage (CCS). http://trc.jogmec.go.jp/pdf/english/topics_LTRDStoward2030_200801.pdf JOGMEC started the 2D and 3D seismic survey project offshore Japan in 2008 with a dedicated 3D seismic exploration vessel and data processing center in JOGMEC. The survey will be focused on the selected shelf and slope basins and promotion of frontier exploration of the deep sea of the Japanese EEZ and methane hydrate R&D. Exploration activities of the private sector in Japan were carried out mainly by JAPEX, INPEX CORP., and Japan Energy Exploration. Details of their activities are in their homepages. 2.2.1.2. Overseas Exploration in Japanese Companies The Japanese oil industry has been carrying out exploration and exploiting oil and natural gas in other countries; mainly in Norway, UK, Africa (Libya, Congo, Algeria, Egypt), Caspian Sea, Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippine, Myanmar,

2.2.2. Gas Hydrates The Agency of Natural Resources and Energy of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (ANRE/METI) organized MH21 (Research Consortium for Methane Hydrate Resources in Japan) comprising JOGMEC, AIST, ENAA, and many industrial and scientific organizations for the research and development of natural gas hydrate as natural gas resources in 2001. Activities of MH21 are shown in its homepage: http://www.mh21japan.gr.jp/english/index.html. The MH21 program completed its 8 years Phase 1 activities in March 2009 and moved in to the 7 years Phase 2 (FY 2009-15) in April 2009. The new Project Leader is Associate Professor Yoshihiro Masuda, Tokyo University. JOGMEC and AIST are the main components of the MH21 in Phase 2. The main research objective of Phase 2 is R&D for the gas production in offshore methane hydrate fields in Japan. Main research results of Phase 1 are 1) Success of gas production from natural hydrate deposit with a reservoir depressurization technique in the Canadian Arctic, 2) Discovery of pore-space filling type hydrate deposit in sand layer which is controlled sedimentologically, 3) Petrophysical understanding of hydrate deposit by seismic and well logging analysis, 4) Understanding of dynamic physical properties of hydrate deposits in-situ and production conditions with laboratory measurement and computer simulation. AIST/GSJ continued basic geological and geochemical research on gas hydrate deposits. These studies included geo-microbiological examination of microbial activities such as methane production, methanogenesis process and conditions related to gas hydrate deposition through geochemical analysis, and the cultivation of methanogen from samples from the Nanakai Trough and Cascadia Margin. AIST Methane Hydrate Research Laboratory was reformed and expanded as AIST Methane Hydrate Research Center (http://unit.aist.go.jp/mhrc/index.html). A newly developed numerical simulator which models reservoir properties during gas production from methane hydrate was used for the production test in Canadian Arctic and applied successfully.

Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 99 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 2.2.3. Geothermal Energy 2.2.3.1. Summary of Geothermal Energy in Japan for 2008-2009
• Geothermal energy was re-designated as “New Energy” in April 2008 because of its adaptability to environmental protection, although it is restricted to only binary-cycle plants.
• The installed capacity of geothermal power generation in Japan was 535.26 MWe in March 2008 (Thermal and Nuclear Power Engineering Society, 2009).
• The total electricity generation for geothermal energy in Japan during FY2007 (from April 2007 to March 2008) was 3,064 GWh (Thermal and Nuclear Power Engineering Society, 2009).
• The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) adopted two new fields for the Geothermal Development Promotion Surveys in FY2008: Shimoyu (Aomori) and Otarimura (Nagano), and a flow test were succeeded in East Ikedako (Figure.2-1). th • The 8 Asian Geothermal Symposium was held in Hanoi City, Vietnam, on 9-12 December 2008 (Figure.2-2).

2.2.3.2. Research Activity in GREEN, GSJ/AIST GREEN, GSJ/AIST conducted assessment of geothermal resources of Japan 2008 with 1km resolution. The result was published as a Geothermal Potential Map (CD-Rom) by Geological Survey of Japan in March 2009. The number of hot spring resorts favored by many people was one of the main obstacles for geothermal power development in Japan. However, Kalina-cycle, the current low-temperature power generation technique, enables us to generate electricity from wasting thermal energy of high-temperature hot springs above the bath-use temperature. The hot spring power generation also enables cooling of the high-temperature hot springs down to an adequate bath-use temperature without dilution of balneological constituents. To open the new market for hot spring power generation, the Geothermal Energy Research & Development Co., Ltd. (GERD) and GREEN, AIST project “Development of the Hot Spring Ecogene (ecology + co-generation) System” was granted the “Project to Support Innovative New Energy Technology Ventures” of NEDO both for Phase I (feasibility stage, FY 2007)
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 100 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 and Phase II (development stage, FY 2008). A 50 kW class Kalina-cycle power generation system adequate for the hot-spring power generation market will be completed in March 2010.
2.2.3.3. Research Activity in Japan for International Geothermal Cooperation The 8th Asian Geothermal Symposium was held in Hanoi City, Vietnam, on 9-12 December 2008 (Figure.2-2), sponsored by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), the Vietnam Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources (VIGMR) and the Korean Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM). The theme of the Symposium was “Geothermal Energy: emerging issues and its role in energy security and environmental protection for Asia”. Over fifty participants from nine countries attended this Symposium (Yasukawa and Van, 2009).

Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 101 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME 3.1. Summary The Groundwater Research Group of the GSJ/AIST is implementing five research projects: 1) study of coastal deep groundwater, 2) study of ground coupled heat pump system, 3) construction of hydro-environment map, 4) technical transfer for South-east Asian countries and 5) basic study for groundwater hydrology.
3.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities The Geological Survey of Japan, AIST is one of the national institutes to undertake research in a national program for High-Level Nuclear Waste (HLW Program) to evaluate the stability of the deep environment including the groundwater flow mechanisms. We will provide the relevant information of all Japanese islands, and the data will also be effective in Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) studies, unknown Groundwater resources (incl. hot-springs) and geo-heat coupled systems.
Figure.3-1 Coastal deep groundwater research project
Promotion of geothermal (ground-coupled) heat-pump systems (see Figure.3-3) provides an invaluable solution to reduce urban heat-island phenomena in big cities and total CO2 emissions by saving energy and electricity. In winter, the heat energy of warm groundwater is used for heating with a heat pump system for each house. In summer, the groundwater is used for air conditioning. The energy in each season is stocked in groundwater, and the usefulness of this approach is substantiated by recent studies. For cost- effective system designs, it is essential to obtain subsurface information such as the temperature profile, groundwater condition and its flow rate. Our mission is to construct detailed numerical models of groundwater systems for the major plains in Japan. For this purpose, measurements of temperature profiles in various groundwater observation wells and chemical and isotopic analyses of water samples are conducted. The same study is also carried out in Kamphaeng Phet along the Chao-Phraya River, central Thailand, in collaboration with the Department of Groundwater Resources, Thailand. Figure.3-2 Ground-coupled heat-pump
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 102 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 One of main tasks of the Groundwater Research Group is to publish a series of hydro- environmental maps. In this map series, we especially attempt to apply multi-tracer technique to analyze regional groundwater flow systems. The technique is based on the data combination of groundwater level, water chemistry, stable isotopes and subsurface ground temperature as tracers. Although each tracer has both advantages and disadvantages in water flow analysis, application of multiple tracers may compensate disadvantages of each tracer. The hydro-environmental maps are provided in compact electronic media (CD-ROM) with database of groundwater quality and other hydrological and geological information, giving users a hint to solve groundwater problems. Five hydro- environmental maps, entitled “Sendai Plain”, “Akita Plain”, “Kanto Plain”, “Nobi Plain” and “Chikushi Plain” were already published, and these will be followed by a map of “Yamagata Basin” and “Ishikari Plain” in 2009. Figure.3-3 shows the areas of hydro-environmental maps. In the Chikushi Plain map, we purposely added some “scientific flavor”, i.e., reference of technical terms, including explanations about principal of the stable isotope methodology, theory of temperature profile method, etc. The map may be useful not only for local governments and residents but also for students who study groundwater hydrology.

3.3. Activity in CCOP The Groundwater Research Group organized a groundwater research project in CCOP from FY 2005 to FY 2008, the final products were presented in IAH Toyama 2008. In the kick-off meeting of the project, everyone had obtained common understandings, that is, that groundwater is a most important factor in the CCOP region for understanding of the area and for sustainable development of water resources in harmony with the environment. The new project was started from the viewpoints of finding solutions with regard to groundwater issues concerning water resource exploration and exploitation. The objectives and the framework of the project were confirmed, these are the evaluation of groundwater resources and environments through a monitoring framework. Korea, China and Japan make sub- projects of three years and each sub-project will be combined in the last year. The titles of the sub-projects are as follows: • Groundwater environment and management in the urban coastal area. By Japan, Indonesia, and PNG. Supported by Philippines. • Groundwater and land subsidence monitoring. By China, Thailand and Vietnam. Supported by Cambodia and Indonesia. • Groundwater evaluation a using monitoring system. By Korea, Cambodia and Malaysia. Supported by PNG, Thailand and Vietnam.

4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME 4.1. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities 4.1.1. Coastal Environment of Okinawa Island, Japan One of the projects implemented by GSJ is the study of the coastal environment of Okinawa Island. The objective of this research is to better understand the relationship between biogeochemical cycles and climate change at regional and global scales. The project consists of the analysis of geochemical parameters including organic carbon, carbonate, heavy metal contents and stable isotopic composition of carbonates, as well as the investigation of assemblage of microfossils, biogeochemical processes and paleo- environment.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 104 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 Also we investigated the Porites coral boulders to study a past tsunami. An enormous number of massive Porites coral boulders are scattered on the shore and in the reef moat of eastern Ishigaki Island. The Meiwa Tsunami, one of the largest tsunamis recorded in historical documents in Japan, struck Ishigaki Island and neighboring islands of the Ryukyu Arc in April 1771 AD, killing more than 12 000 people. Although these boulders likely were cast ashore by the Meiwa Tsunami，a detailed study has not yet been conducted. When the marine reservoir effect is taken into account, one of mode Figure.4-1.

The results suggest that the skeletal growth of most coral colonies was interrupted in summer or autumn; hence, tropical storms and typhoons are also very likely to be agents of transport. Thus, by combining radiocarbon dating with oxygen isotope microprofiling to investigate Porites coral boulders, it is possible to separate paleotsunami boulders from those transported by storm events as far as tsunamis occurred during the non-storm season.

Earthquake related studies 5.1.1.1. Studies of active faults With the support of MEXT, six onshore active faults, the Aomoriwan Seigan fault, Kanto-heiya Hokuseien fault, Kokufu and Takayama faults (Figure.5-1) in the Takayama- Oppara fault zone, and Ibigawa and Mugigawa faults in the Nobi fault zone, were surveyed to determine their past activities. The results of these studies contribute to the long-term evaluation by the Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion of the Japanese Government. An offshore active fault survey was conducted off Noto Peninsula, central Japan. The surveyed area is the northeastern side of the source area of the 2007 Noto Peninsula earthquake (Figure.5-2), and the survey data revealed that there are previously unknown active faults along the coast.

5.1.1.2. Studies on seismogenic processes GSJ/AIST has been implementing research projects to develop a physically-based method for long-term forecasts of inland active-fault earthquakes. For this purpose, we study crustal stress fields around active faults and computer simulation of earthquake occurrences. The stress fields along the Itoigawa-Shizuoka tectonic line, central Japan, have been clarified for about 95 % of the area area of the entire fault zones in terms of abundant focal mechanism solutions of ultra-micro earthquakes. We have also developed a visco-elastic finite element simulation technique to evaluate the viscous effect of the lower crust materials on occurrence of the inland earthquakes. We showed the possibility of visco-elastic stress transfer triggering of the 2007 Chuetsu-Oki earthquake by the 2004 Chuetsu earthquake, central Japan (Figure.5-3).

Figure.5-3 Temporal change of the Coulomb failure stress (DCFS) in and around the focal region of the 2007 Chuetsu-Oki earthquake (F2) caused by the 2004 Chuetsu earthquake (F1). A 3- dimensional structural in homogeneity and the viscous effect of the lower crust are taken into account in this simulation. It is noted that a sign of DCFS in the 2007 focal region becomes positive from negative in a few years after the 2004 earthquake for the case of 1E18 Pas of the lower-crust viscosity.
5.1.1.3. Precise monitoring system for the Tokai, Tonankai and Nankai earthquakes GSJ, AIST has been monitoring groundwater in the Tokai area for earthquake prediction since the 1970's. Given the “pre-slip” model indicating that slow aseismic slip occurs at the tectonic plate boundary a few days before an earthquake, our network can detect the groundwater level changes that may precede the occurrence of a Tokai earthquake. However, the possibility of occurrence of the Tonankai and Nankai earthquakes has also been increasing. In addition recent studies have found that episodic slow slips, which resemble the pre-slip, occur near the source regions of the Tokai, Tonankai, and Nankai earthquakes. Therefore we constructed 12 new integrated groundwater observatories in the Tonankai and Nankai regions by January 2009 (Figure.5-4, left). Each of these includes three wells that monitor groundwater levels and temperatures, crustal deformation, and seismic activity (Figure.5-4, right). Using the data from the new observatories, we already detected strain changes related to more than ten episodic slow slips with the deep low frequency tremors in the plate boundary under the Kii Peninsula for the recent two years. Such precise observation together with paleoseismological research on past Tokai, Tonankai, and Nankai earthquakes will be useful to predict future earthquakes in this region.

5.1.1.4 International collaborative surveys on active faults and paleoseismicity GSJ/AIST conducted international collaborative surveys on active faults and paleoseismicity in Asian countries, such as Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Turkey, and USA. We excavated paleo-faulting events on the 1942 Erbaa-Niksar earthquake segment in the North Anatolian fault system in Turkey to study the faulting behavior through historical earthquake cycles. Detailed mapping of the 1931 Fuyun 165-km- long earthquake rupture was conducted in the Altay Mountains, northwestern China to clarify the fault geometry and slip distribution. Preliminary surveys were carried out on the active faulting and paleoseismicity of the central Sumatran fault system and the Lembang fault, west Java, Indonesia (Figure.5-5), the Himalayan frontal thrust in India and possible active faults in northern Thailand to contribute to the evaluation of earthquake potentials from active faults. We performed the investigations on paleo-tsunami deposits and crustal deformation along the coasts of the Indian Ocean in southeastern Bangladesh; Andaman Islands, India; southwestern Thailand and Sumatra Island, Indonesia to reconstruct the histories of gigantic earthquakes along the subduction zone between the Eurasian and Indo- Australian plates. Paleoseismological survey was also conducted on the Pacific coast in Washington State, USA.

Volcano studies The GSJ/AIST is studying volcanic and magmatic activities from a multi-disciplinary viewpoint. The eruptive histories of active volcanoes were studied with radiometric dating techniques and geological mapping. Assessment of volcanic activity was carried out by monitoring ground deformation, heat discharges, volcanic gas and the analyses of eruptive materials. The database of 14 Japanese active volcanoes is being prepared in English, adding topographic shading and 3D (bird's-eye-view) geologic maps (Figure.5-6 and 5-7)to the geological maps of active volcanoes published by GSJ. The database of Sakurajima Volcano has already been released to the public. http://riodb02.ibase.aist.go.jp/db099/volcmap/index-e.htm) A catalog of eruptive events in Japan during the last 10,000 years is released in Japanese. The Japan Meteorological Agency has defined active volcanoes in Japan as “volcanoes which have erupted within the past 10,000 years or volcanoes with vigorous fumarolic activity”. http://riodb02.ibase.aist.go.jp/db099/eruption/index.html
The multi-disciplinary volcanological studies on Satsuma-Iojima Volcano, Kyushu, have been carried out. The results are compiled in “Researches on Active Volcanoes: Satsuma-Iojima”. An English version is coming soon. http://riodb02.ibase.aist.go.jp/db099/vr/sij/

6.1.2. Soil contamination In 2002 the Ministry of Environment enacted the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Law to protect the soil from contamination and this will be amended in 2010. The law also urges the Japanese Government to make a national fund programme for the remediation of contaminated lands when the cause of pollution is not clear and local governments cannot identify the party responsible for the remediation. GSJ/AIST, together with many private companies (geological consulting, mining, civil engineering, etc.) have been involved in these problems and conducted research and development. In the years after the enactment of this law, more than several hundred cases of soil contamination were discovered every year. Most of them require geological survey and corrective actions. Therefore, we have concentrated on more practical and urgent countermeasures especially for industrial environmental management. To ensure the smooth implementation of surveys and countermeasures, GSJ/AIST started a geochemical mapping project for toxic heavy metals at selected areas in Japan. The surface soil evaluation maps of “Miyagi” and “Tottori” were published in November 2007 and 2008. A geo-informatics project compiled many data and GIS maps that are needed for environmental risk assessment, land utilization for industries, and an intellectual foundation. GSJ/AIST intends these maps to be used as reference data for Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 112 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 local governments and various filed of private industry and individuals concerned with land use. An interdisciplinary program among five research units in AIST was being implemented from 2002 to develop site assessment models and remediation technologies of soil contamination. We have also developed the site-specific risk assessment system, which is available for site assessment of contaminated land. A more detailed simulation system is being published in 2009. The computer software, Geo-environment Risk Assessment System (GERAS), has been distributed to more than eight hundred companies and institutions.

6.1.3. CO2 Storage (CCS) Since 1995 the annual emission of the greenhouse gases has varied between 1.3 and 1.4 billion tons CO2 in Japan. The greenhouse gas emission in 2007 was a rise of 9% against the benchmark year. It is, however, said that the establishment of the Kyoto Protocol during the first promise period ending in 2012 is hard to clear because of the highly developed technology for energy saving in Japan. By the cooperation between the government and the people, we have to reduce the CO2 emission into the atmosphere.
CCS (Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage), which is one of the most effective CO2 discharge control technologies, is expected to suppress the large amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere. On the experience of CCS in Japan more than 10,000 tons of CO2 was injected into the saline aquifer through a well in the Nagaoka gas field between 2003 and 2005. The injection experience was successful and indicated the safety of CO2 geological storage. After the pilot plant demonstration in Nagaoka, ten times as much CO2 injection is planned to promote the CCS business and a suitable demonstration site is under the selection. The Geological Survey of Japan in AIST executes the following research subjects aiming at the CO2 reduction in Japan by the CCS technology.
• To evaluate the potential of CO2 geological storage in the offshore regions around the Japanese islands, the meta-data is listed that described the name of the organization which owns the data necessary to evaluate the potential such as well data, seismic profile data and so on. An experimental Web version for researchers and business people to be able to inspect the data through the internet is being constructed. This Web data list is ready to be opened to the public. The update of the data is also continued.
• To improve the numerical model, well data are usually used and applied as a history matching procedure. A new numerical analysis method, which is able to utilize geophysical survey data to improve the numerical model, was proposed. Using the method we can make a highly accurate model. The accurate model, in turn, makes it possible to select an effective monitoring method and to reduce the cost. At this moment, some geophysical survey data such as gravity, self potential and so on, have been reached at the level needed to apply the update of the numerical model for CO2 geological storage.
• On the geochemical process of CO2 geological storage, the numerical simulation shows the self-seal mineral fixation that the carbonate precipitates around the CO2 plume can occur in a relatively short time. The experiment study concerning the solution velocity of the important mineral in the reservoir rock, especially plagioclase, was advanced in this process. As the result of the experiment, it has been newly understood that the dissolution process progresses through three stages with different mechanisms. The
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 113 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 geochemical studies suggested that the calculation of the mineral dissolution speed in the geochemical simulator has to be reviewed, and elements extracted for the improvement of the environmental assessment technique based on the simulation.
• Concerning the physical monitoring important in CO2 geological storage, effective techniques are examined using not only the seismic wave but also the electromagnetic use, and the electromagnetic observation is executed at the injection experiment site in the United States.

6.2. Activities of Other Institutes, Universities and Organizations 6.2.1. Kanazawa University Kanazawa University concentrated its activities in the CCOP region in 2008 and 2009 mainly in Cambodia as follows: Two research programmes "ERDAC (Environment Research Development in Angkor Region, Cambodia)" in cooperation with Department of Water Resources, the Authority for Protection and Management of Angkor and the Region of Siem Reap (APSARA Authority), Cambodia since 2006 and "EMSB (Evaluation of Mechanisms Sustaining the Biodiversity in Lake Tonle Sap, Cambodia)" since 2003 with Department of Geology, General Department of Mineral Resources (GDMR) and APSARA Authority have been implemented during the period. Nine Japanese universities and institutions have participated in the ERDAC programme which aims first to evaluate the present state of the environment, namely atmosphere, forests, ground- and surface-water, and aqueous organisms, in and around the area of the Angkor Monument Complex, and second to realize a pollution-free harmonized environment between nature, the monuments and people in the area. Since the phase I of the programme was completed in March 2009, an international symposium in Siem Reap (Figure. 6-1) and a related international research seminar in Phnom Penh were held, both in March 2009 under the supports of CCOP, the Embassy of Japan in Cambodia, UNESCO/Phnom Penh, Institute of Technology, Cambodia (ITC) and APSARA Authority. The seminar was to release the results of the programme. Related with the ERDAC programme, one of the important subjects is the evaluation of the subsurface environment including groundwater conditions and pollution in Siem Reap City and ground deformation of the monument complex. CCOP has collaborated closely with this project within the study. We collaborated with CCOP in the 3rd and 4th Colloquium on the Water Issue in Siem Reap and the 1st Water Working Group in Siem Reap (WWSR) both organized by UNESCO/Phnom Penh in 2008 and 2009. On the other hand, regarding the EMSB programme, 13 Japanese universities and institutions have participated and carried out several regular activities since 2003 such as transverse water quality measurements (Figure. 6-2), continuous meteorological observation, plant ecological investigation in the flooded area and ichtyological studies in and around Lake Tonle Sap.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 114 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 An additional activity of the university in the CCOP region includes offshore sediment sampling off-Phang Nga and Krabi Provinces under cooperation with Prince of Songklha University, Thailand, and Shinshu and Tohoku Universities of Japan. The aim is to investigate changes of compositions of sediments and micro-organisms such as ostracods and benthonic foraminifers before and after the Sumatra-Andaman Tsunami in December 2004.

Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 126 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 2. ENERGY PROGRAMMES 2.1. Summary Upstream hydrocarbon activities, such as R&D projects, are mainly carried out by KIGAM. Exploration and production operations however are managed by the Korea National Oil Corporation (KNOC). KIGAM has been conducting four hydrocarbon R&D projects in Korea and in countries abroad. KNOC has been exploring and producing hydrocarbon resources in every part of the world including the CCOP region.
2.2. Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities The research project ‘Regional Mapping Program for the Energy Resources of the Korea Continental Shelf’ has been carried out by KIGAM from 2001 to 2009. Total 2D seismic data acquired from 2001 to 2009 are about 9,800 L-km. In the year of 2008, 2D seismic data of 509 Line km were acquired and in the northern and central part of the Ulleung Basin, East Sea of Korea. Acoustic basement and key horizons for identification of basin structure are being interpreted using newly processed data and existing seismic data in the Jeju Basin and Ulleung Basin. Maps including track chart, principal seismic sections and structure maps are being drawn. The project ‘Construction of a Petroleum Information System on the Korean Continental Shelf’ consists of the designing the data model, development of the software system, and setting of the hardware system and collection of petroleum exploration data. The petroleum information, including well data, seismic data, maps and reports, has been collected from the offshore of the Korean Peninsula and integrated into the software system. The data is also being reinterpreted and modeled to move to the database system. A prototype system will be completed in 2009. KIGAM is also carrying out the project ‘Cooperative Research for Overseas Petroleum Resources Information and E&P Technology’ from 2006 through 2009. In 2008 this cooperative research project involved two countries, i.e. Vietnam (Hanoi University of Mining and Geology) and USA (Penn. State University), summarizing fiscal system and general information on sedimentary basins. Information on nine important overseas petroliferous basins and the fiscal systems of two oil-bearing countries were analyzed. These data will be provided to domestic private petroleum enterprises via an online petroleum information system. With regard to the ‘Gas Hydrate Development’ project, the 3D seismic data were acquired for assessing the gas hydrate reserves near the drilling sites of UBGH-09 and UBGH-10. An ocean-bottom seismometer survey was also carried out in the Ulleung Basin wherein UBGH-9 and UBGH-10 sites are included. Data for a total of 13 sites’ were acquired using 8 OBSs and R/V Tamahe II. Sediment core analyses including eight pressure cores obtained from the Ullueng Basin Gas Hydrate Expedition 01 were analyzed. The preliminary data indicated that physical properties varied on a sub-centimeter-scale in these pressure cores containing thin hydrate veins. On the other hand, KNOC has been conducting exploration and production of hydrocarbon resources in the CCOP region including Korea, Vietnam and China. In the Ulleung Basin, East Sea of Korea, Woodside Energy Limited (WEL) and the KNOC agreed to explore the deepwater block (Block VI-1 North and Block VIII) in February 2007. The joint venture acquired 2D seismic data of about 4,500 km in 2008 before making a decision to enter the subsequent drilling phase which will be the first deepwater drilling campaign in Korea.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 127 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 In Vietnam, 5 production wells in the gas fields of Block 11-2 are producing the average 120 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day upon the buyer's gas nomination. The recoverable volume of this block is 856 billion standard cubic feet and production will continue to 2030. For oil, in Block 15-1, 20 production wells in the Su Tu Den field are now producing average 50 thousand barrels per day and 6 production wells in the Su Tu Vang field are now producing an average of 75 thousand barrels per day. Lastly, KNOC completed the construction of production facilities in Mahuangshan, China, and the main commercial production was started on 18 October 2007 and currently the oil produced averages approximately 400 barrels/day.

3.3. Proposed Future Activities Extreme cases of hazards such as flood or drought caused by climate change are increasing and they can influence groundwater quality and quantity. Groundwater resource assessments taking account of climate change will be conducted in order to cope with potential water problems in the future. Large surface reservoir constructions such as dams for solving the potential water problems can give rise to many natural and social problems. Thus, groundwater resources will play an important role in supplying water in Korea in the future. Aquifer recharge technologies are considered as a potential way for water acquisition and sustainability insurance. Various direct and indirect (induced) methods such as aquifer storage and recovery (ASR), bank filtration, rainwater harvesting, subsurface dam, etc. should be developed under various Korean geological features.
3.4. Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities KIGAM started a new framework of 3-year project under the Ministry of Knowledge Economy which deals with groundwater resources in relation to climate change. Any information on global or regional climate change needs to be shared and we need the assistance and support from CCOP in relation to those subjects.
3.5. Assistance Offered to CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities International networks are required to solve the groundwater problems in relation to climate change, since it happens globally. Also, groundwater modeling coupled with global climate change is required for the assessment of groundwater resources, for which we strongly propose international networking among CCOP Member Countries.

4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME 4.1. Summary National-scale research programs have been performed mainly by governmental or government-established agencies such as Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration (KHOA), the Korea Oceanographic Research and Development Institute (KORDI), the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI), the Korea Environment Institute (KEI) and Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) variously under the authority of the Ministry of Land, Transport and Marine Affairs (MLTM), the Ministry of Knowledge and Economy (MKE), the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MIFAFF) and the Ministry of Environment (ME). Several object-oriented programs for large-scale development or construction are mainly conducted either by government-invested companies or by commercial engineering companies such as the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Company Ltd. (KHNP), Korea Rural Community Corporation (KR), Korea Water Company (KOWACO), and other commercial companies (Samsung, Hyundai, Daewoo, etc.). International cooperation or support programs are managed by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST) or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MOFAT). Most of the programs are being continued in line with their long-term plans with some object-oriented programs being terminated or changed in their objectives and/or goals.

Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities 4.2.1 Risk area estimation based on LiDAR technique in the southeastern coast of Korea A set of airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data and a geographic information system (GIS) were used for building a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) in order to estimate inundation risk area in the Haeundae beach and its adjacent urban area located in the southeastern part of the Korean peninsula. The study area is one of the most popular tourist areas in Korea as hundreds and thousands of swimmers gather every summer. The urban area is also very crowded and filled with many entertainment zones. Sub-meter scale (max. 53cm) vertical resolution could be acquired for 10m by 10m elevation grid and estimation of inundation risk area was done with 3.3m flooding above mean sea level, the latter of which was assumed based on previous typhoon data (see below).
4.2.2 Study on the Behavior of a Sand Ridge (the Chungangcheontoe) In order to maintain a safe navigation channel and sand ridge (Chungangcheontoe) has been studied regarding its sedimentologic character and behavior. The ridge is located in an embayed area in the west coast of Korea and has been considered to be continuously modified as many dykes were constructed along the bay shoreline for a petrochemical industry complex, harbor construction, and agricultural reclamation (see the picture below). The ridge resides in a narrow navigational channel longitudinally and the length and width are ca. 15km and 2 to 5km respectively. In 2008, further sand mining was initiated for the purposed of reclaiming a southern dyed area. Following the first year’s geophysical and morphological survey, drilling and a periodic measurement of surface morphology with RTK GPS are being conducted in order to investigate short-term and long-term changes of the sand ridge. Mid-term temporal changes of the ridge shape were also investigated using several nautical charts published in previous years. The study is expected to be continued and to produce basic information for safe navigation channel management and sustainable development of the embayed area. This study is conducted by KIGAM with grant of the NORI.

4.2.3 Mitigation of geohazard in the Asia-Pacific coastal area (GeoCoast) This activity is a partial effort of the UNDP project (GeoCoast) pursuing the achievement of the millennium goals. The project is conducted by CCOP and KIGAM under the authority of UNDP and MEST together with several countries in the Asian and South Pacific regions. It focuses on the geology’s role in mitigating chronic coastal geohazards and for sharing knowledge-based information for sustainable development of the coastal area. It also has a training program for those relevant staffs who conduct practical measurement and data gathering activities for monitoring coastal geological phenomena. In the late 2008 an induction meeting was held in KIGAM with participants from five Southeast Asian countries and CCOP Technical Secretariat. This year an international symposium was held in KIGAM with participants from more than ten CCOP Member Countries together with the South Pacific area.
Figure 1. 2008 GeoCoast Induction Meeting held in KIGAM
4.3. Proposed Future Activities Most of the current nation-wide projects are expected to be continuing during the next few decades. They are expected to increase in their scope and dimension as sea level rise induced by global warming will be one of the main origins of coastal geohazards. Moreover, demands for national or international monitoring networks will result in greater emphasis on multi-disciplinary and multi-lateral participation of the relevant stakeholders for coping with regional-scale and inter-related coastal hazards. ‘Green’ issues are expectedly to drive researched on coastal wetland, tidal power generation, shallow gas, CO2 storage and etc.

Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 133 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 5.2. Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities 5.2.1 Earthquake KIGAM and the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) operate seismic observatories at over 130 sites in order to monitor earthquake activity in the Korean Peninsula and its vicinity. KIGAM has been playing the role of the National Data Center (NDC) of Korea since 1996 related to Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). KIGAM replaced obsolete equipment at old stations in Gyeongsang Province so that seismogram is transmitted to KIGAM in real time. KIGAM has performed several R&D projects for seismic hazard mitigation. KIGAM a developed real-time strong motion monitoring system for important infrastructures, such as the gas facilities, the international airport, and the high speed rail system.
5.2.2 Landslide In 2008, KIGAM performed the 3rd year R&D project for landslide hazards supported by National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). KIGAM established landslide prediction maps over 659km2 in Chungcheong Province. Based on the landslide prediction maps in Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Province, and Chungcheong Province which were produced from 2006 to 2008, KIGAM made landslide risk maps for 65 cities in the provinces. The risk maps designate high risk areas with consideration of fatalities and damage of facilities.

Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 134 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 KIGAM also installed a real time monitoring system for debris flow on natural terrain at Jecheon, Chungcheong Province. It is the second monitoring system on landslides which is composed of debris detection sensor (wire sensor), tilt meter, water contents sensor, rain gage, and master logger. KIGAM also installed a ring net system as one of countermeasures for debris flow on natural terrain. It is one of environment friendly countermeasures characterized by low cost and high efficiency.
Figure 3. Landslide monitoring system and a ring net system for landslide countermeasure
In case of the research on manmade slopes, the Korea Institute of Construction Technology (KICT) continues to construct a database using the cut-slope management system (CSMS).
5.2.3 Erosion and Sedimentation Disaster KIGAM have measured the physical characteristics of rainfall to evaluate the kinetic energy changes of raindrop due to canopy species and have accomplished the surface infiltration test using by an oscillating rainfall simulator to examine the effect of vegetation rate and floor cover rate on surface infiltration. KIGAM has also evaluated the relative contribution rate of potential sources to reservoir sediment by using environmental radionuclide analysis.

Figure 4. Schematic diagram and pictures during studies of sediment transfer in the small catchment
KIGAM investigated both the processes of sediment outflow on the slope, gully and channel and the monitoring of surface runoff in relation to vegetation and soil moisture condition. A Coastal LiDAR survey is continued in the SW coast by MOMAF-NORI. Coastal geosciences and a physical oceanography of Gyeonggi Bay was proposed and launched by the ONR and the NORI (ONR-MOMAF-NORI). KIGAM estimated the sediment yield by monitoring and using the models of USLE and GeoWEPP. Total sediment yield estimated by GeoWEPP was analogous to the observed results.
5.2.4 Seawater Intrusion KIGAM investigated long-term monitoring using borehole surveys for the seawater intrusion assessment in Secheon-gun and Younggwang-gu, Korea. KIGAM regularly performed several borehole geophysical surveys including geophysical well logging and groundwater level, temperature and fluid conductivity measurements to monitor the salinity change by seawater intrusion through a fractured aquifer. The Korea Agricultural and Rural Infrastructure Corporation (KARICO) is continuing the operation of a National Seawater Intrusion Monitoring Network and long-term monitoring of groundwater level, temperature and electrical conductivity in the coastal area. Currently a total of 85 monitoring wells all over the country are in operation and data from them have been accumulated and analyzed in a geostatistical approach. In Jeju Island, geophysical well logging, including temperature, fluid conductivity, electromagnetic induction, natural gamma, gamma-gamma, thermal-neutron logging has been undertaken in seawater intrusion monitoring boreholes in the western coastal area of the island by Jeju provincial government and KIGAM.
5.2.5 Surface Subsidence KIGAM has developed simple and robust subsidence hazard map generation scheme based on gangway depth and orientation of geological feature for tackling the complexity of the mined-out geometry of coal mines and successfully applied it to a Korean coal mine.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY PROGRAMME 6.1. Summary The environmental geology programme carried out by KIGAM in 2008~2009 includes two main research fields. One is the reduction of acid rock drainage (ARD) of abandoned mines and construction sites, and the other is the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils in Korea. Regarding these issues, KIGAM conducted a variety of research projects and developed new technologies for the soil coverage and ecosystem restoration of mine waste-dump and for high gradient magnetic separation for the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil.

6.2.1 Soil Coverage and Re-vegetation for Mine Waste Dump Reduction of environmental risk in abandoned mine sites is a current issue of environmental concern in Korea. In 2008~2009, KIGAM developed new technologies for the soil coverage and re-vegetation of mine waste dumps. The soil coverage technology is focused on the reduction of thickness and ARD generation and consists of the soil layer, the neutralization layer, the capillary breaker and the reduction layer. KIGAM conducted the field test in an abandoned mine site. The results of the field test showed that the ARD generation decreased and the capillary rising of acidic pore water was effectively blocked. The re-vegetation technology focused on the reduction of soil coverage thickness, the protection of plant from ARD and the reduction of soil erosion. The field test of the re- vegetation technology showed a successful restoration of the ecosystem and reduced remediation cost.
Figure 7. Field Application of the Soil Coverage Technology
6.2.2 High Gradient Magnetic Separation for the Remediation of Heavy Metal Contaminated Soil Fractional concentration of heavy metals in soils is a critical factor in selection of a remedial technique for contaminated soil. Previous research has shown that paramagnetic minerals in soils contain a significant amount of heavy metals. This indicates that heavy metals can be removed from soils using magnetic separation. Currently, we are developing the magnetic separation technology for the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils. The technology consists of dispersion of soil particles and magnetic separation of heavy metal containing paramagnetic minerals from the soil slurry.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 138 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 6.3. Proposed Future Activities and Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities KIGAM hopes to have an opportunity to co-work with the CCOP Member Countries in developing high gradient magnetic separation technology for the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils. KIGAM is considering seeking future cooperation with Member Countries that can be further discussed during the 46th Annual Session. Programme Contact Person: Dr. Kim, Jae-Gon / [email protected]

8. Introducing More About KOICA Invitation Trainee Program 8.1. Summary of KOICA Program The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) was founded as a government agency on April 1, 1991, to maximize the effectiveness of Korea's grant aid programs for developing countries by implementing the government's grant aid and technical cooperation programs. In the past, development cooperation efforts were focused on meeting the Basic Human Needs (BHNs) of developing countries and on fostering their Human Resources Development (HRD). However, the focus has now shifted to promoting sustainable development, strengthening partnerships with developing partners, and enhancing the local ownership of beneficiaries. Additionally, global concerns such as the environment, poverty reduction, and gender mainstreaming, have gained significant importance in the international community. KOICA is striving to adapt to these changes by using its limited financial resources effectively in areas where Korea has a comparative advantage. In particular, Korea has the unique experience of developing from one of the poorest countries in the world to one of the most economically advanced and know-how gained from this experience is an invaluable asset that helps KOICA to efficiently support the sustainable socio-economic development of its partner countries. KOICA has 8 aid theme programs, including education, health, governance, rural development, ICT, industry and energy, environment and gender, and climate change. KIGAM’s Mineral Exploration and GIS/Remote Sensing Program corresponds to KOICA’s Industry and energy aid theme, and that has encouraged KIGAM to provide 3 KOICA invitation trainee programs for the mineral experts from the 19 countries over the last 10 months (see below).

The objectivities of the above listed programs are to transfer professional knowledge of ore genesis as well as the modeling and exploration of mineral resources, to transfer the advanced technology of GIS and Remote Sensing, and to establish an international network of professionals and officials related to mineral resources. The programs consisted of series of lectures, on-site visits in Korea, and group discussions and presentations. Lectures on the above three programs are ‘Introduction of New Technology for Mineral Exploration’, ‘Analysis of Stable Isotopes for Mineral Exploration’, and ‘Geological Application of GIS and Remote Sensing’. Instructors also encourage numerous group presentations and discussions for enhancing foreign experts’ learning status. KIGAM also values human networks for international research cooperation. As for this rationale, acquainting and impressing every expert who visits KIGAM and Korea are very

Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 143 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 JOINT COMMITEES FOR ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES
9. Introducing Joint Committees for Energy and Mineral Resources Cooperation Korea is extremely vulnerable to energy and mineral resources due to the immanence of scarcity, which increases potential threats to Korea’s economy and stable developments of industrial growth. Korean government, quasi-government research institutes, and the private sector are fully aware of those imminent crises and so to resolve and relieve the burden of the lack of natural resources, the government is very eager to actively engage in energy diplomacy among other developed countries. As for the first step to the energy diplomacy, agreements between governments are contracted for the formation of Joint Committees for Energy and Mineral Resources Cooperation. The Korean government has contracted the agreements with 32 countries so far, and those committees function as the primary channels between Korea and partner countries to link public and private sectors inclusively, regarding mineral ores and petroleum exploration and developments. With versatile investing and collaboration channels, inter-contracts such as MOU with similar industries are encouraged, and expected to expand inter-cooperation of major resources. KIGAM supports Joint Committees for Energy and Mineral Resources Cooperation numerous times, and assists government’s energy diplomacy by attending with VIPs and high-level government officiaries.

1. MINERAL PROGRAMME 1.1. Summary Overall for the period, the mining industry showed a mixed performance. The industry was robust at the beginning but it slipped in the latter half of the period. The good performance was largely influenced by the global mineral demand and price. The national programmes of mineral exploration and investigation, and mineral research and development in Malaysia were carried out by the Minerals and Geoscience Department Malaysia (JMG). During the review period, reconnaissance mineral exploration for metallic minerals, follow-up / detailed surveys over previously identified anomalous areas, and investigation of industrial minerals such as dimension stone, limestone, feldspar, construction and river sand, clay and other minerals were conducted in various states of Peninsular Malaysia and in the states of Sarawak and Sabah. Coal exploration was continued in the states of Sarawak and Sabah. Research programmes continued for clay, silica, rock, advanced material, metallurgy and mining and quarrying technologies. In the state of Sabah, JMG is currently undertaking a geothermal resource assessment project. 1.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities 1.2.1. Mineral Exploration for Metallic Minerals Reconnaissance regional geochemical surveys were carried out in the states of Perak, Kedah, Kelantan, Sarawak and Sabah over a total area of 2,948 km2. The surveys show potential for tin in Kelantan and gold in Sabah. Follow-up geochemical surveys were carried out in the states of Johor, Perak, Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang and Sarawak over a total area of 334.77 km2. Gold anomalies were detected in several areas in the states of Johor, Terengganu and Pahang. Several areas in Pahang had also shown prospects for tin. 1.2.2. Industrial Minerals / Non-metallic Minerals Reconnaissance and follow-up surveys for dimension stone, limestone, clay, feldspar, sericite, construction sand and silica sand were conducted in several states of Peninsular Malaysia and in the states of Sarawak and Sabah. Coal exploration and evaluation were carried out in the states of Sarawak and Sabah. Coal occurrences with thicknesses ranging from 0.2m to 2.8m were reported in Sarawak.

Mineral Research and Development The main scope of the mineral-based research and development projects was the production of value-added items from silica sand, clay, kaolin, rocks and advance material from local mineral and metal resources. Research carried out on the clay involved suitability studies of local clay, material processing and preparation, body recipe design, body formulation, test product manufacturing, and product testing. These research activities involved the states of Perak, Kedah, Kelantan, Pahang and Sabah. For the silica based technology, research was focused on the industrial scale production of pellet for crystal glass by using locally processed silica and industrial grade raw materials, development of Tritan glass formulations using locally processed silica sand, and study of recycling of waste optical glass. These studies had a substantial impact on the mineral industry in the nation. The rock based technology research had embarked on the study of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) synthesis from low grade limestone by using sucrose as a promoter to enhance the formation of PCC in the ionic calcium hydroxide solution. The study on recycling of rock wool industrial waste was also carried out. During the period, studies were carried out on the synthesis and the production of artificial bone material, hydroxyapatite by using limestone and silica sand from local resources. The objectives were to produce calcium silicate with bioactive properties and to synthesise nano hydroxyapatite. The research on metallurgy technology aims to optimize of the use of local mineral resources by undertaking studies to improve processing techniques. The study was focused on the characterization of sericite and feldspar. The study should enhance the production of higher value products and hence promote better usage of local resources. A study on the use of Titanium Doping on Silica (SiO2/TiO2) catalyst in waste treatment was also carried out. The main focus of this research activity was to produce a suitable catalyst for the removal of highly toxic and non-biodegradable pollutants that are commonly present in the waste produced by the mining and processing industries. The research on mining and quarrying technology was focused on detailed studies of clay mineralogy and morphology by using the Scanning Electron Microscope in order to understand the clay’s occurrence and characteristics. The study, which involves clay and kaolin from different parts of the country, will assist in the development of better clay products from local resources. Studies were also conducted on the use of local mineral resources for producing zeolite. 1.2.4. Other Resources A Geothermal Resources Assessment Project was continued in the state of Sabah, covering an area of 64 km2. Geological mapping and sampling for geochemical and isotope analysis were completed in 50 km2 of the whole suggested area. Magnetotellurics (MT) and Time Domain Electromagnetics (TDEM) surveys involving 42 points covering 60 km2 of the study area were carried out. The results of geochemical and isotope investigations indicate that the geothermal system is hot water dominated. The MT-TDEM results preliminarily confirmed the occurrence of a promising geothermal reservoir in the Apas Kiri area.

3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME 3.1. Summary Groundwater has in recent years, played increasingly a more important role in supplying the domestic, industrial and agricultural water needs of the country. As such, groundwater investigation, development and monitoring continued to be actively carried out in all the states of the country during the review period. Most of the groundwater programmes in the country were carried out by Minerals and Geoscience department Malaysia. However, in recent years, through the Malaysian government’s promotion and encouragement, the private sector is increasingly playing a more active role in the exploration and development of groundwater. 3.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities 3.2.1. Groundwater Exploration and Development Groundwater investigation and tube well development were carried out both in shallow/alluvium aquifers and in generally deeper hard rock aquifers. A variety of methods, including geophysics, as well as conventional drilling were engaged in the exploration for groundwater. Geophysical 2-D Resistivity Imaging surveys were conducted to determine the depth of hard rock and also to identify structures in the rock formation for groundwater aquifers. Geophysical surveys employing Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) method were also conducted to determine the fresh water, brackish water and salt water boundaries and also to detect saline water intrusion. The conventional pumping tests were carried out to determine the aquifers transmissivity (T), hydraulic and optimum yield. Due to the increasing groundwater demand, remodeling of groundwater resource at the Langat Basin in Selangor was necessary in order to determine the actual sustainable groundwater resource for the basin. Modeling was conducted for the Kelantan Basin to study the effects of hydrological changes and groundwater utilization of the aquifer. Upgrading of the Simple Groundwater Filtration System (SPATR) was conducted in Sarawak. The Minerals and Geoscience Department Malaysia had pioneered the development of the system that could treat raw groundwater to produce reasonably clean water for the consumption of communities in many rural areas.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 151 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 3.2.2. Groundwater Monitoring Routine groundwater monitoring with regards to quality and groundwater levels was carried out, mostly twice a year, especially during critical months, for both the production wells and the monitoring wells throughout Malaysia. The monitoring work was focused in areas where the groundwater resource is relatively important as a source of public water supply, especially the coastal areas. Some of the mineral water production wells were monitored as well for water quality and contamination. Apart from the groundwater monitoring, the likelihood of ground subsidence in critical areas such as Kelantan was also closely monitored. So far, no significant ground movement had been recorded. Groundwater was similarly monitored for salt water intrusion in the coastal areas where groundwater utilization is significant. Besides monitoring activities, some well maintenance and refurbishment work was also carried out. 3.2.3. Participation by the Private Sector Sime Darby, a government-linked company has begun to embark on large scale, systematic groundwater exploration and development for water supply purposes in the states of Perak and Selangor in 2007 and 2008 respectively. The company uses the latest technology in groundwater exploration and development through the use of innovative airborne and surface geophysical surveys to locate potential water bearing areas and also using groundwater modeling to determine sustainable groundwater abstraction rates. The company mainly focuses on developing fractured rock aquifers and deep-seated alluvial aquifers. The company is currently developing a 50 million litres per day (Mld) pilot groundwater supply project within fractured rocks in Perak and the first water from this pilot project is expected to be delivered by the end of 2009. 3.3. Proposed Future Activities Malaysia will continue with: (i) Development of groundwater resources in various parts of the country with focus on management of groundwater resources in small islands off the coast of Peninsular Malaysia. (ii) Modeling work and delineation of wellhead protection areas (WHPA) in critical areas. 3.4. Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities Assistance from CCOP is required in groundwater resource assessment and monitoring. Programme Contact Person: Mohammed Hatta Abd.

4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME 4.1. Summary The sustainable management of the coastal zone in Malaysia is an integral part of coastal development and, therefore, continual efforts are made by the government in funding numerous projects on our coastal zone resources and its ecological habitats. A number of projects are being carried out under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9-MP) programme during this five year period (2006-2010). 4.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities i. Integrated Shoreline Management Plan The Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) is preparing the Integrated Shoreline Management Plan (ISMP) for the Malaysia’s coastal zones and is developing this in stages. At present ISMPs for the states of Negeri Sembilan, Malacca, Penang Island and Labuan Island are underway. ii. Coastal Programmes undertaken by Minerals and Geoscience Department a. Coastal Geology Mapping in Penang Island Under 9-MP, a coastal geological mapping survey is being undertaken around Penang Island, where coastal development is much more pronounced than in Langkawi. A near shore sampling survey was undertaken in November 2008 and a multi beam survey was planned to be undertaken in September 2009. Detailed geological mapping of all the beaches has been carried out around the island to study its status and vulnerability to coastal development. b. Coastal Studies at One Fathom Bank, Straits of Malacca Under 9-MP, a marine study is being undertaken at the One Fathom Bank (OFB) area in the Straits of Malacca, off Port Klang. The purpose of the study is to understand the coastal processes and the formation of the sand banks in that area for proper management and sustainable mining of the offshore sand resources in that region. An ADCP current meter will be deployed in the area in September 2009 to monitor the current and tides in the region for about 1 year. A detailed multi beam survey is presently underway to study the seabed morphological and sediment changes to understand the dynamics of the sand banks. The multi beam survey is carried out jointly with the Marine Department of Malaysia. c. National Offshore Sand Resource Study - Phase 2 in Offshore Sarawak Under the 9-MP programme, Phase 2 of the offshore sand resource study will be carried out off the waters of Sarawak. The study will encompass determining the potential sand reserves and impacts of the environment towards sand mining. The study was started in December 2008 and will complete in year 2010. In 2009, current meters were deployed in 3 locations for current and tide observations. A coarse grid modeling study was carried out over the whole region and a fine grid modeling study is now underway in the sand areas potential for mining. A geological mapping programme is planned to be carried out in October 2009 along the coastal areas of Sarawak that will also include fish habitats and fishing activities along the coast to study the impact of sand mining activities close to coastal areas.

Extended Continental Shelf Project Malaysia signed UNCLOS 1982 on 10 December 1982 and ratified the Convention on 14 October 1996. Under the provision of Article 76 of UNCLOS 1982, Malaysia has entitlement to establish the continental shelf beyond its 200m line. Malaysia collaborated with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to make a Joint Submission over an area beyond the 200m lines of both the coastal States. The two coastal States made this Joint Submission in accordance with Rule 4 of Annex 1 to the Commission’s Rule of Procedures to the Commission through the Secretary-General of the United Nations on 6 May 2009. Malaysia and Vietnam will be making their plenary presentation to the Commission on Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) at the 24th Session of the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf in New York on 27 August 2009. The submission was prepared over a period of 8 years. Considerable efforts and resources have been utilized to prepare this Joint Submission, including the conclusion of the MoU between the two coastal States on 27 February 2009. The preparation of this Joint Submission went through several phases, namely Desktop Study, Data Collection and Analyses and Documentation before it was ready for submission. For this project, Malaysia undertook the Malaysia Marine Research Survey (MyMRS) in 2007-2008, which acquired 5730 km of single and multi-beam bathymetry, multi-channel seismic, gravity and magnetic data. 4.3. Proposed Future Activities To regulate and monitor the sand mining activities effectively as offshore sand mining is on the increase in the developing coastal states of the country. 4.4. Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities Towards establishing a more effective monitoring role by the relevant agencies, Malaysia proposes CCOP to organize a study tour to well establish countries in the field of offshore aggregate mining like Japan and Korea where offshore sand is being used in the construction industry as well as for reclamation projects.

GEO-RESOURCES SECTOR
1. MINERAL PROGRAMME 1.1. Summary The year has been a time for re-building of the Geological Survey of Papua New Guinea after some years of relative inactivity. Key to the re-building is the recruitment of well-qualified geologists and the re-organizing of the technical library and of rock and core holdings. No major activities have been completed during the year. 1.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities MRA is compiling 1:100,000-scale geological maps and explanatory notes based on existing data; the maps and notes will be made available on the MRA website. The maps are an interim product and will be updated from time to time. The objective of the maps is to make unpublished information readily available with a view to encouraging mineral and petroleum exploration and geological research. Fifty maps are targeted; the first was completed in the current year and others will follow at an expected rate of 4-6 per year, depending on availability of geologists and cartographers. MRA is systematically gathering magnetic susceptibility and radiometric data on rocks from around PNG. The first surveys have focused on known mineralized areas. The aim is to develop a nation-wide spread of data. The data can be used to enhance the interpretation of magnetic and radiometric survey data. Papua New Guinea as a mining State, contributed 64 % of its GDP export, from minerals (from Bank of PNG Quarterly Report, Dec. 2008). Papua New Guinea is ranked in the top 10 destinations for mineral exploration and development (Raw Materials Group survey, Sweden, 2008). The Mineral Resources Authority (MRA) continues its mandated function by regulating the mining industry in PNG and make readily available information on geology, exploration, tenements and mining to investors. There is significant interested by foreign companies for Exploration Licenses (EL). The Mining Advisory Council (MAC) meets monthly to deliberate on several applications and renewals. As at August 2009, the Exploration Licenses stood at; • 242 current licenses; inclusive of the 74 offshore licenses • 67 licenses under renewal; inclusive of 26 offshore licenses • 94 new applications; inclusive of 21 offshore licenses
Almost 40% of the tenements granted and under application are for exploration of the sea floors; in the Bismarck Sea to the north, and the Solomon Sea to the south of PNG respectively. Papua New Guinea maintains the number of producing mines at 6; Ok Tedi mine is producing copper, gold and silver; Porgera, Simberi & Tolukuma mines are producing gold
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 163 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 and silver; and Lihir & Sinivit are producing only gold. Kainantu Mine (the 7th mine) owned by Barrick is under “Care and Maintenance”, because the resources been depleted and exploration would need to confirm and increase resources for further mining operations. Two new mines are under construction; Hidden Valley gold silver project owned by Harmony Gold Ltd and Newcrest Mining Ltd Joint Venture; and the Ramu Nickel Cobalt project operated by China Metallurgy Company (MCC) Ltd. The construction of the mine at Hidden Valley is completed and undergoing tests; and will be ready for production in the last quarter (November) of 2009. The mine is forecast to produce 300,000oz of gold and 100,000t of silver. The resource at Ramu is estimated at 143 million tonnes at 1.01% nickel and 0.10% cobalt of which around 50% has been converted to reserve status. This gives a mine life in excess of 20 years based on projected annual production of 33,000 tonnes of nickel and 3,280 tonnes of cobalt contained in a high grade intermediate product. Production is expected in 2010. Production Statistics 2008 PNG Gold, Silver and Copper Production 2008

No major activities have been completed during the year. The major ongoing activities are the remapping of the geology and geochemistry of the Central Highlands of PNG at 100K scale. The project is funded by EU.
1.3. Proposed Future Activities MRA will continue to scan into digital format all of the 12,000 items held in the Geological Survey Library and to store these data systematically and make them readily available to clients (exploration companies & researchers) on the MRA website. MRA will soon construct and fit out a rock and core storage shed and associated laboratories. All rock and core collections help in temporary storage will be shifted into the new facility once completed. Other tasks to commence in 2009-2010 are : • edge-matching of existing geological map sheets to produce a seamless geological map of Papua New Guinea, and • resolve issues of stratigraphic nomenclature that will arise as geological mapping aimed at edge-matching proceeds. These two tasks have seed funding from the World Bank Technical Assistance Programme.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 164 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 MRA will closely monitor three new advanced projects. They are the Sowara 1 Project, Yanderra Project and Frieda Project. Nautilus Minerals Ltd owner of Solwara 1 Project completed its final stage 1 feasibility studies in 2008 and lodged an application for a mining lease to mine gold, copper and silver at 1,500m of the Bismarck Ocean Floor. Marengo Ltd on the other hand had completed its Definitive Feasibility Studies (DFS) and will commence feasibility studies on its Yandera copper project. Xstrata Ltd is in the process of finishing its scoping and pre-feasibility studies on the Frieda Copper project. There are also a number of advance prospects in various stages of evaluation which includes; Wafi Golpu (Au, Cu) in Morobe Province, Mt. Kare (Au) in Enga Province, and Woodlark (Cu, Au) in Milne Bay Province.
1.4. Assistance Required from CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities Digital storage and accessibility on website of geological library data and of geological rock and core storage data is a topical issue for Papua New Guinea and for other nations. It may be useful to convene a workshop that investigates and reveals the variety of options in these areas, and that leads to the provision of technical assistance to the Member Countries. PNG may be a pioneering country in the region in off-shore mineral exploration and mining. PNG would like to invite CCOP, Member Countries, Co-operating Countries and Organizations to assist with developing an off-shore mining policy. Currently there exists none.
1.5. Assistance Offered to CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities The University of Papua New Guinea is well-placed to offer training and assistance to other CCOP Member Countries. Such a programme might be attractive to Indonesia, the neighbour country that shares a common on-land boundary and similar geology. A two-way exchange of assistance, training and expertise between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea would be beneficial to both countries. Such a programme could be extended into other fields such as disaster research, preparedness and awareness.

Summary As at the end of the year, 2008, the Division regulated 51 petroleum prospecting licences, 6 petroleum development licences, 3 pipeline licences, 11 petroleum retention licences and a sole petroleum processing facility licence during the reporting year. Eleven new licences were awarded, two within the Cape Vogel Basin, four within the North New Guinea Basin and five in the Papuan Basin. Eight licences are operating within the North New Guinea Basin, three in the Cape Vogel Basin and the remaining licences are operating within the Papuan Basin. This year saw an increase in some petroleum exploration activities particularly in the acquisition of geological and geophysical surveys, airborne gravity and magnetic surveys, compared to the previous year. Also, there was an increase in the number of exploration wells drilled this year compared to the past year. Four wildcat exploration wells were drilled including two conclusive sidetracks. They were the Puk Puk 1 and Elk 4A wells drilled in the Foreland area, and the Cobra 1A ST3 and the North West Paua 1A ST3 wells located in the Fold belt. The North West Paua 1A ST3 well was water-wet, while Cobra 1A ST3, Puk Puk 1 and Elk 4 well had hydrocarbon shows. A re-entry was carried out at Stanley 1 well, which was drilled by Santos in early 1999. The new operator, Horizon Oil, re-entered and flow- tested the well for gas commercialization purposes in the near future. Two field appraisal wells were drilled, IDT 1 and IHT 2. The former well was successfully completed as a producer. The latter well was problematic with the loss of tools down hole, but eventual retrieval resulted in a new workover program that saw to the completion of the well at a much later date. Four field development wells, UDT 8, UDT 9 & UDT 10 and Moran 14A were drilled, respectively, in the Usano Block of the Kutubu Project and in PDL 5 of the Moran Project within the Papuan Fold belt. In 2008, the Kutubu field’s oil production averaged 14,825 BOPD, whilst the Moran oil field averaged 15,143 BOPD and the Gobe fields averaged 7,382 BOPD. The North West Moran EPT produced 870,693 BBLs of oil. The Hides gas field produced about 5.236 BCF of gas in 2008. The Petroleum Division continued its role as the regulator, promoter and monitoring agent of the State for the petroleum industry. The Division ensured that all exploration, development and production activities were carried out within the provisions of the Oil and Gas Act of 1998 and Oil and Gas Regulations of 2002. 2.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities For new activities started during the year briefly outline objectives, methods to be used, locations, intended duration etc: review of new exploration license applications and extension of existing license applications. The aims of these activities are to keep exploring for hydrocarbons to underpin various proposed petroleum projects in the country. The reviews should ideally take a month as stipulated in the Act. For activities completed during the year briefly summarize main results and any follow-up intended: as mentioned above. Ongoing activities: as mentioned below as ongoing field activities. 2.3. Proposed Future Activities • Papua New Guinea Liquefied Natural Gas (PNG LNG) Project: Applications for production, pipeline and plant facility licenses have been submitted to the State and they are under review by the Petroleum Division as we speak. Gaffney Cline & Associates (subsurface) and Granherne Ltd. (surface) have been engaged to assist the
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 166 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 State in reviewing the various applications according to the Oil and Gas Act of PNG. The Environment Impact Statement (E.I.S) for the Project has been signed in principle. Exxon Mobile is the main operator of the project. • A second LNG project by Inter Oil Ltd is yet to sign a Gas Agreement with the State to kick-start the project • A third likely project is the Gas Condensate Stripping with gas injection by Horizon Oil Ltd. A project agreement with the State on this is again yet to be signed. • Ongoing field operations and exploration monitoring of the petroleum industry in PNG. These include planned data acquisition, drilling and various feasibility and market studies in existing permits and as proposed in applications yet to be granted by the Minister for Petroleum and Energy. 2.4. Assistance Required from CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities Papua New Guinea would appreciate any assistance, advice or information from CCOP TS or from other CCOP Member or Cooperating Countries in downstream gas processing and related activities with respect to the LNG Business. The petroleum industry would welcome any form of assistance in promoting, regulating (administering/enforcement of PNG’s Oil and Gas Act and Regulations) and monitoring the exploration for and development of the country’s petroleum resources. 2.5. Assistance Offered to CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities PNG can share its experiences in the development of the Petroleum Industry over the years with other CCOP/Other member countries with respect to monitoring, regulating, promoting and enforcing our laws as an Independent State. The licensing system in PNG is a Concessionary Fiscal System unlike in Indonesia and Malaysia where they have a Production Sharing System. We would appreciate any information on the production sharing system to see if it can be used here in PNG. 2.6. Other Comments We would appreciate if dissemination of information is conveyed in a timely manner in future for ease of preparation/planning purposes on CCOP Programs. In Papua New Guinea, we have separate entities for the Mineral and Petroleum Industries and information should be channeled, not only to CCOP representatives in country but to key personnel within these organizations also.

Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 167 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 4. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME 4.1. Summary The Project on “Groundwater Assessment & Control in the CCOP Region” commenced in 2005 and ended 2008. The aim of this project was to evaluate groundwater resources and environment through monitoring. The main project consisted of 3 components which were carried out separately. The 3 project components are; 1) Groundwater Environment and Management in the Urban Coastal Area, (2) Groundwater and Land Subsidence Monitoring and (3) Groundwater Evaluation Using Monitoring System. PNG participated in the 1st component but later the subject was changed to Laws & Regulations on water resources, environment and management. 4.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities PNG was not invited in the 2008 final project meeting to review the project in Toyama, Japan, however; the project successfully compared the history of laws related to water resources and environment from each member country in the sub- group. Its main objective was to compare and use experience gained in other member countries to assist each country to enact laws concerning water resources and environment so to avoid destruction. PNG’s example: Contamination of the Angabanga River system from tailings dumped by Tolukuma Gold Mine could have been avoided if laws governing water resources and environment were overhauled and tightened. 4.3. Proposed Future Activities Under Phase I of the project, PNG requested technical co-operation for the study of saline water intrusion problem with Lae city groundwater supply. This was not pursued further as the subtopic was changed to laws and regulations. Phase II of the same project will commence soon after the first meeting is held (1st to 2nd October, 2009, Bangkok, Thailand) where the contents and topics for the projects will be selected and grouped. 4.4. Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities Technical assistance requested from CCOP : 1. Study on saline water intrusion of the Lae city groundwater basin. 2. Baseline study on surface and groundwater quality in all watershed areas that are likely to be affected by the newly established mines in PNG. 3. Technical assistance required in terms of experts assisting smaller member CCOP countries and training (in-house and practical work attachments) by leading countries (Japan, Korea and China).
4.5. Assistance Offered to CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities No Report.
4.6. Other Comments PNG’s specific problem areas: 1. Training of hydrogeologist in pumping test analysis and interpretation using modern advanced techniques. 2. Groundwater resource or aquifer modeling. 3. Groundwater quality baseline survey methods and practices.

In 1999 a coast plan report titled “Geology and Natural Hazards of Lae city and surroundings, Papua New Guinea” was produced. It was a joint project undertaken by CCOP TS, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands Government and the Department of Mineral Resources of Papua New Guinea. Since then no coastal zone studies have be undertaken. Nothing to report for 2008-2009.

GEO-HAZARDS PROGRAMME 6.1. Summary The Department of Mineral Policy and Geohazards Management (DMPGM) is new and emanated from the former Department of Mining and is responsible for (1) formulating policies related to mining/ exploration and (2) monitoring of geohazard activities in PNG and the region. The latter responsibility of DMPGM will be discussed further here. Within DMPGM a Division called Geohazards Management was created and its role is to monitor and assess geological hazards, like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, landslides and mass erosion events, in PNG and the region. The Division provides advice on the mitigation measures to relevant authorities and communities and where possible it provides early warnings of the effects of these hazards. Through applied research the Division aims to improve the capabilities to monitor, assess and where possible predict geological hazards in PNG. The Division comprises three Branches; the Rabaul Volcanological Observatory, Port Moresby Geophysical Observatory and the Engineering Geology Branch and they are responsible for the monitoring of volcanoes, earthquakes/ tsunamis and landslides/ mass erosions in PNG respectively.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 169 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 6.2. Volcanic Hazards 6.2.1. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities No new activities were started and no activities were completed during the reporting period. The annual review covers only the ongoing activities undertaken for the period 2008 - 2009 by the Rabaul Volcanological Observatory Branch. Volcanic Activities The monitored volcanoes of Papua New Guinea were generally quiet in 2008, with the exception of the Tavurvur volcano. Ulawun and the Manam volcanoes remained generally quiet throughout 2008. Ulawun changed its quiet status of activity with the commencement and continuation of high frequency volcano-tectonic earthquakes from about March onwards and Manam showed some signs of renewed activity from occasional night glows from the two summit craters during the last few months of the year.
Figure 1. Ulawun volcano taken from the southeast side of the volcano. Note the moderate volumes of white vapour emitted from the summit crater.
Bagana, considered as the most active volcano in Papua New Guinea due to its sub- continuous effusive activity, continued to erupt effusively in 2009. The effusive emissions of lava from the summit crater rolled down the western flanks of the volcano. The volume of lava was too insignificant to cause any alarm. Tavurvur, one of the two volcanoes that erupted at Rabaul in September 1994, erupted throughout 2008. The level of eruption was relatively mild during the first half of the year, but this changed during the second half when the mode of eruption changed from sporadic ash emissions occurring at long intervals to almost sub-continuous emissions. Between July and October/November southeast winds blew the ash-rich plumes towards Rabaul Town and the surrounding areas and deposited significant volumes of ash and affected the everyday livelihood of people and gave rise to the emergence of health-related issues. The ash deposits turned into mudflows as soon as rain began to fall in October and severely affected the entire town of Rabaul and the surrounding areas. The eruption also affected the domestic aviation industry when ash-rich plumes frequented the air space of the flight path and deposited considerable amounts of ash on the runway. A flight service to the only main airport that serves East New Britain Province was disrupted, severely affecting the traveling public.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 170 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 Monitoring Activities RVO persevered to maintain its monitoring equipment at Rabaul and the selected high-risk volcanoes including Ulawun, Manam, Lamington and Pago. The seismic monitoring network at Rabaul was maintained at a reasonable level. A couple of stations which had been off from the start of 2008 were restored. The tide gauge network consisting of three stations was partially restored after a long period of inactivity. An upgrade of the real-time Global Positioning System (GPS) of four stations for deformation measurements began during the last quarter of the year. By the end of the year three of the stations were restored but two continued to have problems. The work continued in 2009.
Figure 2. VIS monitoring station. The station has seismic, GPS and electronic tilt equipment. The tall mast in the centre is holding the GPS wifi antenna for transmitting GPS data to SPT repeater station. The two yagi antennas are for the seismic (long antenna) and electronic tilt (short) data.
The monitoring stations at Ulawun, Pago, Garbuna, Manam and Lamington, consisting of single seismic stations operated below satisfactory levels, mainly due to technical problems associated with power problems, lack of parts etc. At some places like Ulawun, local recordings are done on site but data transmission to RVO could not occur due to faults in some of the system components. Despite these shortfalls, daily reporting of volcanic information by the volcano observers, which also included Bagana, using HF voice radios are maintained at a satisfactory level. Special Projects/Programs Discussions and the compilation of a document commenced on a proposed new 4-year AusAID-funded Geoscience Australia-RVO Twining Program following the cessation of a similar existing program in mid-2009. RVO participated in a series of consultative review meetings on AusAID’s ‘Framework for Australian Assistance to Disaster Management in Papua New Guinea 2003- 2008’ to determine its strengths, weaknesses, impacts and lessons learned, in anticipation for drawing up a new program, the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Program. An air quality study for Rabaul town was conducted in 2008 (World Health Organisation) to study and determine the health related effects of volcanic ash and gas released by the ongoing Tavurvur on the population of Rabaul Town. A report stating the results of the study was produced and distributed through the PNG WHO Office in Port Moresby. In a nut shell, the study found that the volcanic ash was not particularly poisonous however it has the potential to affect the respiratory system of people from prolonged exposure. Volcanic gas, and especially sulphur dioxide, was present and its effect on people
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 171 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 depended on the amount of the gas released. During the study period measurements showed some areas received gas levels which were above world standard acceptable levels. It stated that certain groups of people like those who have asthma, are more vulnerable to these products than others. Monitoring of the sulphur dioxide has since been continued. Work commenced on the construction and installation of a seismic station for the Australian Tsunami Warning System at RVO. The establishment of the station resulted from the Boxing Day December 2005 Indian Ocean Tsunami. The work was conducted by Technical Officers from Geoscience Australia, with able assistance provided by Technical Officers from RVO. The work was carried over into 2009. Provision of Technical Information RVO commenced compilation of three short reports. The reports were titled: • Relocation of Manam Islanders back to Manam Island; comments from the Rabaul Volcanological Observatory. • Relocation of Nonga Hospital to Baliora, Kokopo, East New Britain Province; A comparative Assessment of sites by the Rabaul Volcanological Observatory. • Aerodrome assessment from volcanic ash perspective.
RVO also provided additional volcano-related technical advice and information to relevant civil authorities and other concerned parties. This included volcanic updates and felt earthquake information recorded within a 250 km radius zone of the Rabaul Harbour Seismic Network. Earthquake monitoring and reporting is the responsibility of the Port Moresby Geophysical Observatory (PMGO), however, RVO provided this service on goodwill basis. Community/Public Education Community and public education on volcano and other geological hazards like earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, etc., continued to feature strongly in RVO’s 2008 activities. These activities were focused in Rabaul area with visitations to RVO by a wide range of visitor background, including educational institutions. Posters and leaflets were given to the visitors. Similar activities in communities of the other high-risk volcanoes were restricted by funding. 6.2.2. Proposed Future Activities Future activities for RVO will be guided by the mandatory responsibilities of the observatory and the overall 5-year strategic plan for the Department of Mineral Policy and Geohazards Management. Some planned specific activities include the following: • Continue to restore and upgrade monitoring equipment at Rabaul and the other high- risk volcanoes. • Upgrade data transmission mechanisms from the remote high-risk volcanoes to RVO at Rabaul. The current system uses modem-configured HF radios. Upgrade of this system is year-marked for the next two years; however, there are plans to phase this out with VSAT systems. The outcome of this will depend on funding. • Improve power supply systems for volcano monitoring at selected high-risk volcanoes including Ulawun and Lamington with the installation of solar farms. • Relocation of the Volcano Observatory to a new location and fitted with a state of the art volcano monitoring system.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 172 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 6.2.3. Assistance Required from CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities RVO receives its core operational funding from its mother department, the Department of Mineral Policy and Geohazards Management, however, it has also benefited immensely through aid funding from the Australian Government through its international aid agency, AusAID. With donor funding RVO was able to achieve the following: • improve the monitoring systems at Rabaul and selected high-risk volcanoes, • upgrade the GPS network, • upgrade the modem-configured HF radios for transmission of volcanic data from the remote high-risk volcanoes to RVO. However, there is still more to be done and RVO certainly would welcome any assistance with funding and technical experts of the proposed activities outlined in (5.2.2) from CCOP, Co-operating Agencies/ Countries and Member Countries. 6.2.4. Assistance offered to CCOP in Support of Future Activities Information on volcanos in Papua New Guinea was provided to CCOP for the CCOP BOOK PROJECT 2009: “GEOLOGICAL MUSEUMS OF EAST AND SOUTHEAST ASIA”. 6.2.5. Other Comments The main issues that affect the work of RVO are lack of sustained timely funding and manpower in some of its key sections. For example, restoration of some of the monitoring equipment at other high-risk volcanoes dragged on due to lack of qualified technical staff in the Electronics Section. Lack of adequate funding and properly skilled personal are major setbacks.

6.3. Earthquake/ Tsunami Hazards 6.3.1. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities The one year to date was quiet except for a magnitude 7 earthquake in the neighbouring Indonesian Province of Papua, Biak Island on January 3rd 2008. Within the PNG region 16 earthquakes of magnitude 6 and 221 of magnitude 5 occurred in the period January 2008 to 09 August 2009. A total of 1595 earthquakes of magnitude 3.4 and about occurred during the period. From these earthquakes no tsunamis were generated. Apart from the routine monitoring of seismic activity, work on the EU funded (EDF9) replacement of seismic network is continuing with the formulation of tender documents, spearheaded by Geoscience Australia. The project commenced in January 2008 and has a deadline of four years to December 2011.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 173 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 6.3.2. Proposed Future Activities Seek counterpart funding from PNG Government to compliment the proposed Seismic Network referred to above and to rehabilitate the PMGO Office and Seismic Station set up in Port Moresby. Submission for these requests is in train at the time of reporting. 6.3.3. Assistance Required from CCOP of Future Activities Funding is and will be a major constraint, therefore additional funding is required for operational expenses in training of staff with the relevant software (and hardware) applications and tools, and as well as the maintenance of network components and facilities. 6.3.4. Assistance offered to CCOP in Support of Future Activities Annual membership fees/contributions 6.3.5. Other Comments PNG has been a long-time member of CCOP and would encourage continuing collaboration in projects that would be of benefit to PNG and the region. To meet the departmental vision 2009-2015, a state-of-the-art communication system is to be deployed both for data transmission to PMGO from seismic stations and for information dissemination. The system has to be compatible with the seismic network hardware and software to be procured and deployed nation-wide in the next two years. For this, initial costs are to be sought from potential donors. There will be counterpart funding sourced as well.

6.4. Landslide Hazards 6.4.1. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities No activities were completed and no new ones were started during the reporting period. The annual review covers only the ongoing activities undertaken for the period 2008 - 2009 by the Engineering Geology Branch. The Engineering Geology Branch commenced operation in the beginning of 2009 and not much has really happened. However, strategic mapping and assessment of landslide affected areas has been a priority task of the branch. Early in the year a big portion of the main Highlands Highway linking the coast to the inland areas failed due to an unusually high rainfall. The landslide was mapped and assessed and a report was produced for relevant government agencies to take corrective measures. Since then normalcy has been restored on the highway. Library search on all previously reported landslides is ongoing. Presently there is no data base and a landslide map covering all of PNG on any scale therefore the branch aims to create a landslide data base and produce a landslide map at a smaller scale (1: 250,000).
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 174 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 The landslide hazard maps will have to be developed over time as the scale is increased and for particular developments that take place. This is our major activity and we will require funding and professional help to achieve our vision. Risk assessment of landslides will be done after the landslide hazard map is produced. It will also be limited to areas where actual investment or infrastructural development is taking place. 6.4.2. Proposed Future Activities Besides carrying out landslides investigations the branch is also embarking on the following activities: • Have a user friendly data base for landslides. Currently there is none. • Carry out landslide mapping by using remote sensing methods. • Purchase new equipment for the laboratory for rock and soil tests. • Develop landslide hazard maps. • Carry out studies on the Engineering Geology of towns in PNG. 6.4.3. Assistance Required from CCOP of Future Activities Assistance from CCOP TS will be required in the areas of; 1. Creation of a Landslide Data Base and provision of technical expertise 2. Provide training in Remote Sensing to aid in landslide mapping. 6.4.4. Assistance offered to CCOP in Support of Future Activities No report. 6.4.5.

Summary The Mineral Resources Authority (MRA) has the overall custodianship of managing all of PNG’s data pertaining to mineral exploration, mining, tenements registration, geology and geophysics is held and managed by the Mineral Resources Authority. All data concerning the petroleum and gas sector is managed by the Department of Petroleum and Energy (DPE). The Department of Mineral Policy and Geohazards Management (DMPGM) has responsibility over data relating to geohazards. Being a relatively new department, DMPGM does not have a properly set up database system. However, it is on the drawing board to develop one so that the immense accumulation of geohazards data over the years and those to come from future activities are properly managed. 8.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities No Report. 8.3. Proposed Future Activities Although MRA has a Database system there is still need for a user friendly system. The current Explorer 3 system and the Geological Mineral Resource Information System require prior training before using it. A simpler system is preferred whereby search can be done simply with a word or words to bring out the data required. Upon installation of this system digitizing and storage of any data or metadata can commence. DMPGM has volumes of information which needs proper archiving and storage and in tandem explore on the options of developing a database on geo-hazards. 8.4. Assistance Required from CCOP/ Other Member Countries in Support of Future Activities • Assistance with developing databases for geo-hazards and geo-resources is critical in order for PNG to be on par with the rest of the CCOP member countries and the region. • Capacity building and up-skilling staff in remote sensing. • Acquisition of satellite images covering entire country. Satellite images will be useful in monitoring changing environment around mines and project sites, assessing plumage in waters and seas and for use in infrastructural developments.

ANNUAL MEMBER COUNTRY REPORT
Country: THE PHILIPPINES Period: 01 July 2008 - 30 June 2009
GEO-RESOURCES SECTOR
1. MINERAL PROGRAMME 1.1 Summary 1.1.a Revitalization of the Mineral Industry – Development of Mining Projects The revitalization program of the Philippine minerals industry started in 2003 when the government made a policy shift from “mere tolerance” to “active promotion”. The government believes in the potential of the minerals sector to attract new investments, generate revenues for the government, provide additional jobs and livelihood opportunities, and most importantly, promote development in the countryside.
Since 2004, the revitalization program of the minerals industry has generated US$ 2,388 Million in total investments and 26,082 jobs.
1.1.b The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) pursues the implementation of its mineral resources development through the provision of technical information and data on Philippine geology and mineral potentials, policy reforms to streamline the permitting process, aggressive local and international promotions, and addressing the various local environmental and social concerns. 1.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes/Activities 1.2.a As part of the revitalization of the minerals industry, the government is actively promoting a number of priority mining development and exploration projects. The DENR- MGB believes that these projects could respond to the nation’s need for investment and employment generation to assist in government's program on poverty alleviation and to contribute to the general economic well being of the nation.
Since the commencement of the revitalization program in 2004, total investments in the mining sector have grown to US$ 2,388 Million and generated some 26,082 direct and indirect jobs.
Of the priority projects initially identified, twelve (12) are already in operation. These projects have invested a total of US$ 852.22 Million since 2004.
Of the twenty-seven (27) current priority mineral development projects, ten (10) are in the construction and development stage, another ten (10) are in the feasibility/financing stage, and seven (7) are in the advanced exploration stage. Collectively, these projects have invested US$ 1,509.16 Million since 2004. Also, twenty-two (22) projects are currently active in exploration drilling activities.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 179 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 Most of these projects are concentrated on four major mineral commodities: gold, copper, nickel and chromite. Small-scale deposits of iron and manganese are also being explored and developed.
Philippine Hosting of ASOMM/AMMin/AFMA
The Philippines hosted some public and private sector of mining meetings from 13 to 17 October 2008. These meetings were the: 9th ASEAN Senior Officials Meeting on Minerals (ASOMM), 2nd ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Minerals (AMMin), and the 2nd ASEAN +3 Consultation Meeting on Cooperation in Minerals in Manila on 13-17 October 2008.
Held in parallel to the ASEAN meetings, the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines and the ASEAN Federation of Mining Associations (AFMA), held the 8th Asia-Pacific International Mining Conference, to promote mining investment in the Philippines and in the ASEAN region.
Promotional Activities for the Mining Industry
Representatives from the MGB and the DENR were active in mining investment roadshows to promote the Philippine mining industry to prospective foreign investors. These international events include the 2008 Asia Miner “Investing in Mining” Conference in Australia in July 2008, MINExpo in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA in September 2008 and China Mining 2008 in November 2008.
The Mineral Development Council (MDC), a sub-cabinet level inter-agency group, has been at the forefront to improve the Philippine investment climate in mining. Aside from providing support to the various investment promotion roadshows, it is quite active in addressing various domestic concerns. Among its current thrusts are: facilitate remittance of local government share from mining revenues, addressing conflicts involving small-scale miners, ensuring the security of exploration companies and operating mines, and instituting policy reforms to facilitate issuance of mining permits.
At the local level, the national MDC is supported by the Regional Minerals Development Councils (RMDCs). The RMDCs are tasked to: a) coordinate the implementation of the government’s minerals development program in the regions, b) address mining issues/concerns at the local level, and c) recommend policies/programs for consideration by the Minerals Development Council (MDC) to ensure the development and revitalization of the minerals industry.
Assessment and Rehabilitation of Abandoned/Inactive Mines Project
The rehabilitation and remediation of abandoned mine sites continues to be one of the priority thrusts of the government. The rehabilitation of two (2) open pit copper mines (the Marcopper Mine in Marinduque and Bagacay Mine in Western Samar) are currently being undertaken.
Other abandoned mine sites are currently being evaluated, together with some risk assessment analyses, particularly those with existing tailings dams and large waste dump areas. Water quality monitoring is also being undertaken along rivers and waterways draining from the abandoned mine sites.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 180 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009
1.2.b The implementation of the program on the advancement of the Mineral Resources Sector is being hampered by the general lack of technical manpower, particularly experienced geologists, to carry out the geological mapping and resource assessment programs of the MGB.
In this regard, the government and the private sector, and recently with some support of the Australian Embassy in the Philippines, launched scholarship programs for the various mining-related disciplines, including environmental and social concerns.
1.3 Proposed Future Activities and Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities
The Philippines could benefit from the training programs being offered by the CCOP and Donor countries relative to: mineral resources metadata base development; mineral exploration, particularly on subsurface blind deposits; mine site rehabilitation; water resources management including water quality; and sustainable socio-economic development of mining communities and indigenous peoples.
2. ENERGY PROGRAMME 2.1 Summary The goal of attaining energy self sufficiency through the search for indigenous oil, gas, coal and geothermal resources has accelerated through the conduct of the Philippine Energy Contracting Round (PECR). For petroleum, two (2) service contracts were awarded bringing to 34 the total number of existing petroleum service contracts in the country. For geothermal, three (3) Geothermal Service Contracts were awarded under the PECR over Mabini geothermal prospect in Batangas, Biliran geothermal prospect in Biliran Province and Amacan geothermal prospect in Compostela Valley.
For coal, six (6) bids were received for five of the areas offered and are currently under evaluation for endorsement and awarding.
Oil production from July 2008 to June 2009 has reached 2.44 million barrels (MMB), posting a significant increase over the July 2007 to June 2008 output of 147 thousand barrels. Main production came from the Extended Production Test in the Galoc Oil Field. On natural gas production, Malampaya gas field produced 132 billion standard cubic feet (BSCF) of gas. This reflects a 27 percent increase in gas production from the previous level of 104 BSCF. The San Antonio Gas Field was permanently shut down in August 2008. Malampaya also produced a total of 5.4 million barrels of condensate for the period in review.
The country’s in-situ coal reserves stood at 438.6 million metric tons. Production reached 4.54 million metric tons for the period July 2008 to June 2009 or an increase of 18 percent from about 3.85 million metric tons in the previous year.
For geothermal, the total electricity generated was 11,382.91 gigawatt-hour from July 2008 to June 2009.
2.2 Annual Review of Technical Program/Activities 2.2.a Philippine Energy Contracting Round The Philippine Energy Contracting Round (PECR) offered prospective areas to energy resource developers for energy exploration and development. For this period, two (2)
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 181 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 service contracts for petroleum were awarded that brought to 34 the total number of petroleum service contracts in the country.
For geothermal resources, three (3) GSCs for exploration and development were awarded in 2008 which added to the seven (7) existing production fields and two (2) exploration areas.
For coal, six (6) bids were received for five (5) areas offered and are currently under evaluation for endorsement and awarding. 2.2.b Production Oil production has reached 2.44 million barrels (MMB), posting a significant increase over the July 2007 to June 2008 output of 147 MB due to increase in the production output from the Extended Production Test of the Galoc Oil Field.
On natural gas production, Malampaya gas fields produced 132 billion standard cubic feet (BSCF) of gas. This reflects a 27 percent increase in gas production from the previous level of 104 BSCF.
Malampaya also produced a total of 5.4 million barrels of condensate compared with about 5.5 million barrels last year.
Coal production reached 4.54 million metric tons for the period July 2008 to June 2009 or an increase of 18 percent from about 3.85 million metric tons from the previous year. 2.2.c Power Generation For geothermal, the total electricity generated was 11,382.91 gigawatt-hour of electricity from July 2008 to June 2009.
3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME 3.1 Summary Groundwater Resource Assessment is a regular program of the MGB in support of the government’s thrust to provide a safe and dependable water supply source in the entire country. Hydrogeological, georesistivity surveys and groundwater quality monitoring and assessment are conducted in specific barangay/municipalities.. 3.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes/Activities For the period July 2008 to June 2009, the MGB conducted groundwater resource assessment in 43 localities nationwide
In addition to groundwater resources surveys for possible domestic water supply, hydrogeological surveys are also being conducted on proposed and existing waste dumps and sanitary landfills. These surveys are being undertaken as part of the assessment on the viability of the proposed project sites; and in the existing sites, to monitor and ensure the quality of the surface and sub-surface water bodies and aquifers. 3.3 Proposed Future Activities and Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities The Regional Groundwater Assessment Program is being implemented mainly as technical assistance provided to LGUs. The Regional Assessment includes water data collection and database development, delineation of groundwater basins, aquifer characterization, and identification of potential community water well sites.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 182 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009
A growing concern, however, is ensuring the quality of the various water bodies and addressing potential health risks and concerns. Thus, it is important to have training on the establishment of water monitoring sytems, assessment for potential impact of mining operations over the long-term and in abandoned mine sites. This program requires funding/technical experts for the training of personnel and acquisition of necessary field and office equipment
GEO-ENVIRONMENT SECTOR
4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME 4.1 Summary As a component project/activity of the National Geohazard Mapping and Assessment Program of the MGB, coastal hazard assessment including seabottom topographic measurements, beach profiling, aerial/satellite photo interpretation, and sediment sampling has been undertaken along some priority coastal municipalities (Siquijor Island, Albay and Sorsogon, Cavite, Eastern Leyte, and Eastern Samar). In order to promote and enhance public awareness seminars were conducted among the coastal communities concerning coastal and marine geohazards, their causes and impacts, as well as preventive and mitigation measures. The final outputs of the coastal and marine geohazard survey are being translated into maps indicating the degree of vulnerability or susceptibility of the coastal areas to a particular geohazard. These thematic maps will be useful not only to the concerned local residents but also to the local community policy makers and land use planners and developers. 4.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes/Activities Field surveys were conducted in Siquijor to undertake coastal/marine geohazards monitoring and to delineate an appropriate area where marine sand extraction could be carried out with least adverse environmental impacts in the coastal areas. In the province of Albay, the objective of the survey was to accurately plot on the map the predicted run-up heights and inundation distances for both tsunami and storm surge hazards with due consideration to the coastal morphology, water depths near the coast, and fetch in case of storm surge. In the coastal area of Cavite, an aggregate total of twenty-eight (28) line-km of the coastline was traversed, complemented with 13 profile lines across the beach, to address the potential impacts of coastal erosion, storm surges and possible tsunamis. The various components of the survey included the following: Beach profiling / Re-occupation - to accurately plot on the map the predicted run-up heights and inundation distances for both tsunami and storm surge hazards with due consideration to the coastal morphology, water depths near the coast, and fetch in case of storm surge.
Integral to the beach profiling work were observations made on the coastal geomorphology, geology and sediment cover along a 20-meter wide corridor centered along the profile line. The types of vegetation and the visible effects of wave action on the coast were likewise noted.
Shoreline Mapping -. This activity refers to the mapping of possible shoreline shifts using a pair of Trimble Differential Global Positioning System units. Using a mapinfo computer program, the processed data were overlain on the map image. The measured
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 183 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 distances between the shoreline and the data plots were then averaged, divided by the number of years elapsed, and interpreted to signify the average rate of erosion/aggradation per year.
Inspection of monitoring stations. Six (6) concrete monitoring stations were established along the coast to facilitate monitoring of the possible effects of marine sand extraction activities off the coast.
Social survey. This aspect of the fieldwork involved interviews with local residents using a prepared form. It aims to gather anecdotal/historical information about the level of severities of coastal geohazards they may have experienced in the locality. The rate of coastal erosion and/or aggradation could also be estimated using the data/answers of respondents, in conjunction with the shoreline mapping data.
Information dissemination through workshops and discussions were also undertaken at the village and municipal levels.
4.3. Proposed Activities and Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities In order to achieve a more comprehensive implementation of the projects under the coastal zone program, aside from the current activities relating to the mapping and assessment of coastal areas critically vulnerable/susceptible to geohazards, initiatives will further focus on the study of sea level change as affected by climate change and geological factors and on the delineation of the Philippine continental shelf under UNCLOS.
5. GEOHAZARDS PROGRAMME 5.1 Summary The National Geohazards Mapping and Assessment Programme is being implemented by the DENR-MGB. Under the framework of the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC), the DENR-MGB, in collaboration with the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Administration (PAGASA), the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA), and the Office of Civil Defense (OCD), are undertaking the Hazards Mapping and Assessment for Effective Community Based Diasater Risk Mitigation (READY) Project. The MGB is principally involved on the mapping and assessment of rain-induced landslides, flood-prone and coastal erosional areas; the PHIVOLCS on earthquake and volcano monitoring, including tsunami; PAGASA deals with rain-induced flooding and storm surges; the NAMRIA in base map preparation; and the OCD in disaster preparedness and training. Community-based early warning systems for floods and tsunamis are also being set- up, together with the conduct of local drills and exercises. The collaboration work being undertaken by these agencies on geohazards mapping, assessment and dissemination of information has proved effective in addressing the immediate concern to manage if not mitigate the detrimental impacts of natural hazards on the populace. 5.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes/Activities A. Program of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau The DENR-Mines and Geosciences Bureau has assessed 220 municipalities/cities during the second half of 2008 up to the first half of 2009. Since 2006, a total of 1,348 municipalities and cities (or 15,493 barangays or villages), or roughly 82.4% of the 1,618 municipalities, had been covered particularly for landslides and flooding. Geohazards quadrangle maps are produced mainly at a 1:50,000 scale, and at 1:10,000 scale in certain critical areas.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 184 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009
Another major activity is the conduct of suitability assessments of possible relocation sites. These are carried out in close coordination with the LGU’s, the NDCC, Office of Civil Defense, Department of Social Welfare and Development, Non-Government Organizations, civic organizations and other relief and rehabilitation agencies and institutions of government and the private sector. Following the aftermath of typhoon Frank which ravaged the Visayas regions in the central part of the Philippines during the second quarter of 2008, MGB geologists conducted assessment of suitable relocation sites for displaced people affected by flood/flashfloods and landslides. As part of its information dissemination and awareness program, direct advisories of landslide and flood/flashflood threats were provided to all communities covered. Posters, geohazard maps and information VCDs were also provided to all municipalities aside from the geohazards advisories. Formal and informal lectures and discussions were also held with local government officials, people’s organizations, and other civic groups during the course of the program.
B. Hazards Mapping and Assessment for Effective Community-Based Disaster Risk Mitigation (READY) Project
A multi-agency initiative led by the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) called Hazards Mapping for Effective Community-Based Disaster Risk Mitigation or the READY Project is being implemented from 2006 to 2011, supported by UNDP-AusAID. The targets are selected 27 high risk Philippine provinces.
The main objective of this project is to address the problem of disaster risk management (DRM) at the local level, with its three components: 1) Multi-hazard and risk assessment, 2) community-based disaster risk mitigation through development of community- based early warning system (CBEWS) and conduct of IECs and 3) mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into the local development planning process.
Multi-hazard maps (earthquake, tsunami, flood, landslide and volcanic hazards) at a scale of 1:50,000 and 1:10,000 scales for rain-induced landslides and flooding are produced for seven (7) priority provinces. CBEWS for sudden-onset events such as flashfloods, landslides and tsunami were also conducted, including the setting up of rainfall and flood level monitoring systems, establishment of tsunami hazard signals and conducting of evacuation drills for both hazards.
Province-wide IEC campaigns targeting barangay and municipal leaders, including teachers, are conducted and are primarily aimed to explain the results of the multi-hazards mapping in their respective localities to participants and to teach them how to interpret the hazard maps produced.
Finally, risk-based contingency planning and land use planning modules are developed to ensure that these hazard maps form the basis for any sustainable disaster risk mitigation efforts of a community. This has been implemented through the provision and training in the use of the Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment System (REDAS), a hazard simulation software developed by PHIVOLCS incorporating the READY multi-hazard maps.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 185 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 6. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY PROGRAMME 6.1 Summary Under R.A. No. 9003 of 2002 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, the MGB was mandated to provide technical assistance to Local Government Units (LGUs) in the selection and evaluation of suitable solid waste disposal (SWD) sites. While a total of seventy-nine (79) sites were evaluated, including various options for the given community, the social acceptability issue has proven to be a more daunting problem than the technical and environmental aspects.
The conduct of site evaluation and assessments are based mainly on the requests of various local government units, mainly for the construction of controlled dumpsites or sanitary landfill sites. The technical assistance is focused mainly on the evaluation of the geological conditions and potential impact on groundwater quality. 6.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes/Activities The criteria for SWD site selection generally require investigation of ground stability and groundwater vulnerability. With the public clamor for the full implementation of R.A. No. 9003, it is expected that there is going to be an increasing demand for the conduct of site assessment and evaluation in the coming years. 6.3 Proposed Future Activities and Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities The MGB in coordination with the Environment Management Bureau (EMB) and the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) had submitted to the National and Economic Development Authority (NEDA) and JICA for evaluation a proposal for a National Groundwater Vulnerability Mapping Project. This is in line with a provision in the Clean Water Act of 2004 mandating MGB in coordination with NWRB to publish Groundwater Vulnerability Maps. Target implementation, if approved by NEDA and JICA will commence in 2010 for a period of two (2) years.

GEO-INFORMATION SECTOR
7. GEODATA AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME 7.1 Summary Databases being maintained and enhanced at the MGB include the following: 1. Meta Data on Geological Quadrangle Maps 2. Geological Bibliography Systems (GEOBIBS) 3. Geohazard Maps 4. Mineral Resources Database System 5. Mining claims/tenement maps 7.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes/ Activities 7.2.1 The Meta Data on Geological Quadrangle Maps continues to be updated although there is a drastic reduction in the number of geological quadrangle maps being completed in recent years due to greater focus on the generation of geohazard maps. 7.2.2 The number of records in the GEOBIBS remains at 3,452 journals and articles. The update and compilation of entries, both from the MGB Regional Offices and the Central Office are currently on hold because of the shift in priorities of the office and the lack of personnel to attend to the maintenance of the database. 7.2.3 The updating of the database on the Geohazard Status of the Philippines is being given more attention, particularly in view of the recent natural disasters. As of July 2009, the total number of municipalities assessed is already 1,348, or about 66% of the whole country. Total number of finalized quadrangle geohazards maps is now 334. The current target is to cover the entire country by the middle of this year. Currently, it is planned to establish a system wherein the various Geohazard Maps and related information will be posted in a dedicated website for the information and reference of the public. The initial experimental phase is expected to be set up before the end of this year. 7.2.4 Although the preliminary design for the Mineral Resources Database System has already been created and reviewed, the programming phase of the database has been put on hold because of lack of personnel to handle both the programming and data entries. 7.2.5 In initial implementation of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Governments of Korea and the Philippines, through the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) and MGB, the “Cooperative Research on the Creation of Mineral Potential Map” project continues to be implemented. An initial activity of this project produced a Mineral Potential Map of Masbate Island utilizing the GIS methodology of the “Likelihood Ratio” Model.

1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
1.1 Summary During the reporting period (fiscal year 2009), the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) has carried out two technical projects and a research project:
1.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities 1.2.1 Mineral exploration activity outside legally conserved/protected areas. Established since 2007, the project is planned to be completed in 2010. It was implemented by subcontracting private exploration companies under the supervision of the DMR. Duration: 25 March 2009 - 18 January 2010. Objectives: to investigate mineral potential areas and mineral deposits for further development and to be used in the national management and planning on natural resources. Project Areas: 1) Area 1/2552 “Tha Song Yang” (Tak Province) 2,722 km2. 2) Area 2/2552 “Mae Ramad” (Tak Province) 2,595 km2. 3) Area 3/2552 “Na Noi” (Nan Province) 2,828 km2.
1.2.2 Saline Soil Area Development Project in Northeast Thailand. The four-year (2008-2011) project was launched in 2008 in response to His Majesty the King’s advice and initiation on development of saline soil areas in the NE. The project involves sustainable development of geological resources through the mitigation of the saline soil problem. In this integrated project, DMR is responsible for the study of rock salt formation and its contribution to saline soil and the dispersion of salt in the study area. Objectives: - To set up a Saline Soil Study Centre for and by the local community; - To develop and improve soil quality of saline soil areas; - To improve the quality of life of the local people. Project Area: DMR has selected Tambon Haiyong, Phangkhon District, Sakon Nakhon Province, located within Nam Un watershed, as a project area. The work involves three main parts: geology; agriculture; and public participation. Progress Results: Reported in September 2009, 95% completed for work in fiscal year 2009.

Researchers have been successful in identifying the “heavy-milky” material and how it gets into blue sapphires. The latest work involves testing for the best possible way to remove such impurity. 1.2.3 Mineral Zoning and Geological Resources Management Mineral resources development involves several stakeholders in the society. Systematic management of mineral resources is needed in terms of effectiveness and fairness in society. Participation is needed from relevant stakeholders. This project is a five year project, set up in 2006 to propose the management measures needed in each individual province for effective planning and management of its geological resources. To begin, DMR compiles various data and information such as maps at 1:50,000 scale of the geology, mineral potential and mining license areas, natural parks, forests, wildlife reserves, other restricted areas and land-use conditions, conservative geological sites, national and local economic situations. The next step is to define the areas for potential development, considering the land- use conditions imposed by laws and regulations. At this stage, the areas for mineral utilization have been divided into three groups, namely: (1) preserved areas (e.g., national parks, forest parks, wildlife sanctuaries, area of no animal-hunting, pollution control areas and mangrove preserved zones) : mineral resources in these areas will be preserved and are the last-priority for utilization, (2) conserved areas (e.g., reformed land for agriculture, watershed areas class one, economic mangrove zone 1, forest zones restricted by laws, regulations, cabinet resolutions, mineral research survey areas designated by Mineral Act B.E. 1967, Section 6 bi): mineral resources are planned to be used in the near future, or at present with certain conditions, (3) development areas (e.g., economic mangrove zone 2, economic forest zones, industrial rock zones, mining license areas and mineral development areas designated by Mineral Act B.E. 1967, Section 6 quad): mineral resources in these areas have no law, regulation or public restrictions for development. Prioritization of the development areas of each mineral commodity is considered according to economic, social and environmental factors. Finally, the preliminary reports will be sent to the relevant stakeholders for comments. A consultation meeting will be organized prior to submission of a final report to the cabinet for approval. Executives and technical persons as representatives of relevant agencies such as DMR, Department of Primary Industries and Mines, Office of Natural Resources Policy and Planning, Provincial Offices, Local Administrative Offices will be invited to join the consultation meeting.

2. ENERGY PROGRAMME 2.1 Summary Exploration activities include seismic surveys (2D and 3D) together with drilling of wells both onshore and offshore. The dramatic high crude price during the year 2006 – 2008 was the major driver of the aggressive E&P activities. This can be seen by the last two very successful petroleum concession bidding rounds. The latest 20th bidding round is a record breaking round (Figure 1) and by the end of September 2009, 21 blocks had been awarded, 5 blocks are in the signing process and 7 blocks are under the consideration process for endorsement by the Minister of Energy (Figure 2). The crude oil production rate is much higher than that of last year at an average rate of 155,400 barrel per day (during July 2008 to June 2009), an increase of 14.26% compared with 5% increase during the same period from 2007 to 2008. The production from the two new oilfields in the Gulf of Thailand (Bua Luang and Songkhla) added up 15,000 bbld or about 10% of the total domestic production. The onshore Na Sanun East Field, also known as the new concept petroleum play in Thailand as a volcanic reservoir in the Phetchabun Basin, central Thailand, is still producing at the rate of about 8,000 bbld. Natural gas production is slightly lower than last year. The average gas production in 2008 was 2,600 mmmcfd compared with 2,566 mmcfd in 2009. The mainstream of natural gas (93%) was produced from fields in the Gulf of Thailand and the remaining amount was from onshore fields - 2 fields in the NE of Thailand (120 mmcfd from the Sin Phu Horm and Nam Phong) and some associated gas of about 35 mmcfd from the Sirikit Field in the central plain basin. Condensate production is slightly higher than last year at an approximately 84,000 barrel per day (bbld) in 2009 compared with 83,000 bbld in 2008, an increase of 1.2% while condensate production from 2007 to 2008 increased by 10.8%. However, the total amount of petroleum production in the Kingdom can only meet approximately 40% of the total country demands (Figure 3). The indigenous supply decreased by about 4% from last year. Coal use is still as high as 33.75 million tons per year while the domestic coal can be supplied just only 17.99 million tons or 53.88%. The total coal consumption in 2009 is slightly lower compared to last year, decreasing from 34.27 million tons to 33.75 million tons. The total imported coal also dropped slightly from 15.98 million tons in 2007-2008 to 15.76 million tons in 2008-2009.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 196 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 At end of 2008, Thailand’s preliminary proved reserves (P1) as announced by the Department of Mineral Fuels (DMF) consisted of 12.0 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas, 271 million barrels (mmbbl) of condensate and 183 mmbbl of crude oil.
2.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities 2.2.1 Petroleum Concessions The results of the 20th Bidding Round (23rd May 2007 to 22nd May 2008) can be summarized as follows: A total of 65 blocks, 56 onshore and 9 offshore blocks in the Gulf of Thailand, were put to bid. The bids were very competitive compared to other rounds in the past. Thirty-seven concessionaires submitted 74 bidding forms for 52 blocks. At end of September, 18 concessions for 21 blocks (14 onshore and 7 offshore blocks) are awarded, 5 blocks are in the signing process and 7 blocks are under consideration. 2.2.2 New Petroleum Licensed Applications (PLA) At end of June 2009, 6 new production area applications (PAA) have been granted. Three areas are located in the Gulf of Thailand (Greater Trat, Bua Ban and Pailin Extension) while the other 3 areas are located in the Phitsanulok, central plain onshore basin (Greater Sirikit East, Sao Thian and Arunothai). 2.2.3 Exploration Activities Exploration activities continued over the period of July 2008 to June 2009. This resulted from several geophysical surveys awarded in the 19th and 20th Bidding Rounds. 2D seismic of 8,666 km was acquired (about 18,000 km was acquired last year). Of these 8,666 km, about 1,463 km are from onshore areas and 7,203 km. from offshore areas. Most of 2D seismic for this period was performed by PTTEP Siam Ltd. for blocks A4/48, A5/48 and A6/48 in the deep water Andaman Sea. The onshore 1,463 km were done by Salamander Energy Ltd. for block L26/50, Adani Welspun Ltd. for block L39/50 in the NE region and Carnavon Thailand Ltd. for block L20/50 in the central plain. A total of 2,232 km2 3D seismic was conducted both onshore and offshore. About 1,520 km2 was done by Chevron Petroleum (Thailand) Ltd. in the Gulf of Thailand for block G4/50. The remaining was done over the onshore block L16/50 by Tatex Thailand LLC. in the NE region. 3D seismic volumes are clearly three times bigger compared with last year (798 km2) as 3D seismic seems to be a new key in the NE region in better identifying the fracture system in the carbonate reservoir. For drilling, a total of 55 exploratory wells were drilled during July 2008 to June 2009 - 16 wells in the onshore basins and the other 39 wells in the Gulf of Thailand. Development wells were reported at 439 wells - 59 wells drilled in the onshore areas and 380 wells drilled in the Gulf of Thailand. Seventeen (17) water injection wells also were drilled in the onshore areas whilst 15 wells were drilled in the Gulf of Thailand. 2.2.4 Coalbed Methane (CBM) and Oil Shale Projects Currently, the Department of Mineral Fuels (DMF) and the Department of Energy Defense (DED) have hired Chiang Mai University to carry out a study on gas adsorption and fracture system of the coal beds in the Fang Basin, Chiang Mai province (belong to DED). The results of the study show that the gas adsorption is relatively low (115 cubic feet/ton). The methane content varied between 56-61%, nitrogen 9-15%, carbon dioxide 6-8%, and oxygen 0.5-1.5%.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 197 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 Another co-project by DMF and the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) which was concluded by end of 2008 is the study on Oil Shale Properties in the Mae Sod basin, Tak Province. Thirteen wells were drilled in 2008 and samples collected were sent for oil yields analysis under lab scale operated by the Chiang Mai University. The oil yield from selected core samples ranged between 5.5 and 23 US gallon/ton. However, DMF extended the project by hiring Colorado School of Mines in 2009 to carry out a further study for the oil yields and the solid waste produced during operation on the batch scale. The objective of the study is to determine the reserves, quality and establish guideline for future development of Oil Shale in term of alternative energy. The final result is expected to be completed by the end of 2009. 2.3 Proposed Future Activities and Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities a) Training or some short courses on thin sand reservoir or tight sand reservoir development - To gain new techniques that can be applied to multi-layered thin sand reservoirs and some tight gas sandstone in the NE region of Thailand. b) Training or some short courses on carbonate reservoirs. Most fields in northeastern Thailand are carbonate plays and we still need to learn more to better understand the reservoir properties. 2.4 Others Title and Authors of Papers submitted for the CCOP Annual Session Technical Proceedings: One paper from DMF representative is submitted for the thematic session. Dr. Witsarut Thungsuntonkhun will give a presentation at the 46th Annual Session in Vung Tau, Vietnam. The title is “Potential Gas Utilization Project from Onshore Oil Fields in Thailand. Others - During the year, DMF officials have involved in 4 activities held by CCOP: 1. Eight DMF officials were involved in the EPPM Kick off Meeting (6-9 Oct 2008) held in Bangkok. 2.

3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME 3.1 Summary The Department of Groundwater Resources (DGR) is taking part in two sub-group projects of “Groundwater Assessment and Control in the CCOP Region”, namely (1) Groundwater and Land Subsidence Monitoring and (2) Groundwater Evaluation Using Monitoring Systems. Apart from CCOP related projects, DGR also conducted other important projects concerned with Groundwater Well drilling and Construction of Clean Water System for Schools, Groundwater Well drilling for Anti-drought Program in Remote Areas and groundwater assessment projects including groundwater investigation in Chiangrai province which found new high potential of groundwater aquifers in Mae Sai district. DGR also introduced the new project of Application of Isotope Hydrology for Solving Nitrate Genesis in Groundwater in the Northeastern Part of Thailand. 3.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities 3.2.1 Groundwater and Land Subsidence Monitoring The over pumping of groundwater in Bangkok and its vicinity has resulted in a decline of water levels in the main aquifers. This causes the groundwater crisis and land subsidence. The monitoring data showed a clear correlation between land subsidence and the piezometric decline in the pumped aquifers. Remedial measures have been implemented since 1983 to solve these problems.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 201 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 The controlling of groundwater use and collecting of groundwater fees and groundwater conservation fees in the critical areas results in increasing of water levels and decreasing rates of land subsidence. At present, the most affected areas that undergo subsidence at the rate of 30 mm/year are the southeast and southwest suburbs. The most critical zone at the peak of the crisis 25 years ago was the eastern area of the city, which experienced the largest subsidence rate of 120 mm/year. But now the subsidence rate has decreased to only 10-20 mm/year. (Department of Groundwater Resources, 2009). 3.2.2 Groundwater monitoring system Monitoring wells are very useful for evaluation of groundwater contamination. Changing of water levels or water qualities can be indicate the status of groundwater resources. In the sub-group project with CCOP, KIGAM (leader of sub-group in Groundwater Evaluation Using Monitoring Systems) recommended and gave the way to create a network of monitoring system by scientific methods. Currently, DGR have a total of 1,786 monitoring wells ( DGR, September 2009) throughout the country. 3.2.3 Groundwater Assessment and Development Groundwater potentials are very important in terms of water management. Sustainable development is being promoted worldwide, especially in the topic of water resources. DGR intends to evaluate groundwater potentials in every significant basin. In 2009, DGR has worked in Mae Kok and Nan basins in the North by using geological , hydrogeological, geophysical surveys and well drilling included the standard method of pumping test. The results of this project indicate new high potential areas of groundwater aquifers in Mae Sai district, Chiangrai province in Mae Kok basin. For groundwater development, two main projects are implemented including the Project of Groundwater Well drilling and Construction of Clean Water System for 490 Schools and the Project of Groundwater Well drilling for Anti-drought program for 360 wells in the country side. 3.2.4 Application of Isotope Hydrology In 2009 DGR launched the new project “Application of Isotope Hydrology for Solving Nitrate Genesis in Groundwater of Northeastern Part of Thailand.” The aim is to study the sources and the causes of high concentrations of nitrate that are frequently found in shallow groundwater aquifers in some areas of the Northeastern region.

Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 202 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 GEO-ENVIRONMENT SECTOR
1. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME 1.1 Summary In the past, there were no clear-cut measures used in managing coasts of Thailand, particularly, prevention and solution to the problems of coastal erosion in Thailand. There has not been any particular agency assigned to take full responsibility for coastal management. Therefore, coastal land has been unwisely used leading to deterioration of the coastal environment and resources. Solutions to such problems, though implemented, are usually too late to protect these valuable resources. Knowledge of coastal geomorphology is fairly used in the planning process of coastal management in Thailand, especially in highly vulnerable areas to either natural- or human- induced hazards. It is now an urgent requirement that coastal resource management must focus on coastal erosion and sea level rise. These phenomena will have direct effects on Thai coastal areas. Problems of inundation caused by tropical storms, possibly due to global warming phenomenon, will have negative impacts on communities residing along Thai coasts in the future The Thai coastline is 2,667 km. long in which coastal erosion takes place at all coastal provinces on both the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand coastlines. All 23 coastal provinces, especially, at the upper Gulf of Thailand running from Bangpakong estuary down to Mae Klong estuary in the area of five provinces, namely, Chachoengsao, Samutprakan, Bangkok, Samutsakhon and Samutsongkhram, are the sensitive areas where the most severe coastal erosion is found. Some coasts are eroded at the rate of over 25 meters per year. The coastal areas along the shorelines of the Gulf of Thailand, running from the easternmost coast of Trat province down to the Thai-Malay borderline in Narathiwat Province, is 1,653 km long, 485 km of which have encountered serious coastal erosion at the rate of 5 to over 20 meters per year. The total length of the Andaman Coast is approximately 1,014 km, 114 km of which has encountered a coastal erosion problem. When considering the total coastal area countrywide, it is shown that 599 km or 22.5 percent of coastlines of the country are eroded at an alarming level. High rates of coastal erosion in Thailand occur along the total distance of approximately 204 km or 7.7 percent nationwide; and at medium level about 395 km. or 14.8 percent; while stable coastal account for 1966 km or 73 percent and depositional coastal around 162 km. or 6.1 percent. Strategies to prevent and resolve the coastal erosion Thai National Environment Broad (NEB) has approved the promotion and environmental protection policy that aims for the protection and recovery of coastal area since October 24, 2007. The NEB has set up a sub-committee to regulate on coastal erosion for the national master plan on prevention and solution of coastal erosion in Thailand. All processes had been approved by the Cabinet on August 26, 2008. Roles of the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) The DMCR, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE), plays an important role in policy formulation and planning, involving processing laws and legislation and their enforcement. The DMCR works in cooperation with related agencies who share the same missions and action under the strategy aimed to prevent and resolve the coastal erosion. In addition, the DMCR monitors and carries out research and development, as well as conserves and rehabilitates coastal resources.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 203 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) The DMR as the government agency of Thailand responsible for geological hazard management and geological survey undertakes activities to support the strategies by conducting projects to monitor physical change of coastal zones and to evaluate the geological factors in conjunction with meteorological and oceanographically factors which cause the coastal change. Additionally, the studies on other geohazards which will affect the coastal area are considered as a part of coastal management. The issues will principally be used as the database for sustainable coastal management. 1.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities The progress of DMR activities in response to coastal management can be summarized as follows: 1.2.1 The coastal change along Andaman sea coast and the Gulf of Thailand: The study on the coastal change of Thailand is a project conducted by Environmental Geology Division of the Department of Mineral Resources. The overall goals are to monitor the physical change of the coastal zone, to evaluate the causes and magnitude of coastal change, to improve the coastal zone database by updating the coastal geological data, meteorological data and oceanographical data related to coastal change processes, and to provide guidelines for a coastal erosion prevention and mitigation plan. The detailed study in severe erosion areas such as Phetchaburi province and Rayong province were conducted from October 2008 to October 2009. The monitoring of coastal changes was carried out through the comparative analysis of the paleo-shoreline and the present-shoreline based on satellite images and field survey data. The beach profiles were respectively obtained in severely eroded areas in order to show relationship among seasonal changes, coastal morphology and causative factors. The submarine morphology and distribution of depositional features of marine sediments (within 2-3 km. toward the sea) were examined using echo sounding (Parametric echo sounder) and shallow marine seismic reflection profiling data and grab sample data. The real time current velocities, velocity directions, temperatures and the water depths were obtained using Acoustic Doppler Current Profile (ADCP) (Sentinel Workhorse Rio Grande 600 kHz series). Additionally, a numerical model to calculate the sand transport rates from the historical time series of wave data has been conducted in order to aid prediction of morphological and shoreline position changes. The accurate coastal zone data helps to understand the scale and composition of the factors that contribute to coastal erosion which is very important information that contributes significantly to rational coastal development plans and management practices. 1.2.2 Climate change adaptation and mitigation related to geological aspects: Global warming has drawn people’s attention worldwide. It is likely that the global warming has contributed significantly to the observed sea-level rise, through thermal expansion of seawater and widespread loss of land ice. The sea-level rise would impose serious impacts on the natural system and human society in the coastal zone such as inundation and beach erosion. However, there are huge uncertainties that still remain over the magnitude and rate of sea-level rise, which is usually based on the regional scale studies through tectonic and geologic processes. In 2008, DMR carried out 3 projects in response to climate change mitigation and adaptation consisting of: - The study of soil engineering properties in Bangkok metropolitan area and its vicinity. The overall goal is to assess the correlation of soil engineering properties and probability of land subsidence.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 204 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 - Studies to determine the rates of vertical land movement at tide gauges. Vertical land movements are an important signal in sea level records therefore DMR incooperatiuon with Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, are presently trying to measure the rates of vertical motion of the earth's crust using new geodetic techniques such as GPS and microgravity techniques with the aim of eventually removing the land movement signals from the sea level records. However, long term data collecting is needed for accurate prediction of movement trends. - Detail topographic mapping along the coastal zone of Bangkok metropolitan and its vicinity area using LIDAR. The main aim is to assess the vulnerability of areas to flooding due to sea-level rise based on topographic data. DMCR activities in response to coastal management can be summarized as follows: An important current activity is the development of a database on the country’s biodiversity. The development has also proposed appropriate sites to protect marine and coastal resources. In another words, the DMCR is a key organization whose major roles involve proposing of policies, plans and measures to prevent unbalanced use of natural resources. DMCR also enforces relevant laws and regulations to prevent damage and promote sustainable utilization. Reviews and amendments of existing laws and legislations should be addressed and complied with the new constitution (effective in 2007), which allows people to have more rights on coastal resources. At present, the public pays more attention on natural resources and local communities are involved more in the sustainable use and conservation of natural resources. Laws and legislation regarding administration and management of marine and coastal resources would definitely include the participation of local communities. Therefore, the DMRC is a national information center that will support the government’s decision on development without negative impacts on marine and coastal resources. There are many areas pertaining to natural resources that need to be urgently managed, such as decreasing mangrove forest, coral reefs, sea grass beds and erosion of coastal areas. However, we have to accept that it is not possible to do everything all at once. At present, the Sub-committee on Regulating Coastal Erosion and Preparation of the master plan on prevention and solution of coastal erosion in Thailand stated that the most important thing is to have tools and mechanisms in place to prevent and solve problems in coastal areas. This will require laws and legislation to promote marine and coastal resources management and research and capacity building. The information obtained can be used to identity conservation model for the country. The Master Plan for coastal erosion management for the Upper Gulf of Thailand plays a role for a principal framework in integrated cooperation between central government agencies, local organizations and local communities. This plan includes vision, mission, goals, objectives, strategies and measures for coastal erosion management. Besides, projects and activities in accordance with the master plan for each coastal area also presented. Marine and coastal resources are abundant and unique in Thailand’s coastal areas, which can be divided into two distinct coastal areas, the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea. There are a total of 23 out of 76 provinces of Thailand have coastal areas. Communities are spread along the coast. Thailand has marine area larger than the onshore areas. DMCR is responsible for coastal areas and its resources, including mangroves, coral reefs, sea grasses, sea animals and estuaries. There are 12 major estuaries regarded as ecosystems that supports life and biodiversity.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 205 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 1.3 Proposed Future Activities and Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities On the basis of present information, the coastal changes are caused by both natural processes and human activities. The reduction of the coastal sediment budget related to development and changing of land-use, the influence of the movement of tidal current and long shore current, the increasing in frequency and degree of storm, and sea level rise are the factors related to coastal erosion on the coastline of Thailand. Due to insufficient geological, oceanographical and meteorological data as well as patterns ofland-use change and coastline development projects, therefore, the research for coastal erosion protection cannot obtain reliable results for designing appropriate protection structure and policies for coastal zone management. However from short period of data collection, the results of the study do not clearly indicate how those factors would influence the coastal change process. The assessment with the support of geological study, coastal engineering study and other techniques are necessary i.e. developing and applying relatively simple coastal erosion models, developing predictive models for assessing impacts of the related coastal erosion factors, and long-term coastal monitoring measurement. Then the reliable assessment and sustainable mitigation plan can be obtained. Programme Contact Person: 1.

2. GEO-HAZARDS PROGRAMME 2.1 Summary Generally in the past it has been believed that Thailand is located in a low seismicity area with no earthquake effect on the people. Severe seismic intensity caused by major earthquakes has never occurred inside Thai territory except for one event recorded in history that describes the collapse of a town in the northern part caused by a big earthquake more than one thousand years ago. With passage of time, many important events that panicked the people have been forgotten. However, in the past 3 decades moderate earthquakes occurred more frequently and caused great panic amongst the public with slight to moderate damages to vulnerable developments. Enormous constructions within crowded communities are expanding into seismic risk zones. Some locations of moderate earthquakes that have never harmed people in the past record initially cause some damage to vulnerable constructions.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 206 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 Additionally, geohazards such as landslides, mudslides and flash floods occur in many provinces of Thailand and seem to cause more and more damage both to property and people. The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR), as the government agency of Thailand responsible for geological hazard management, has selected the prototype areas for the sustainable rehabilitation including 2 areas in Uttaradit province and 1 area in Chiang Mai province. The main activities comprise detailed geological mapping at the scale of 1:4,000, adjusting the existing streams and establishing rehabilitation planning along with the local communities. 2.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities 2.2.1 Active fault study The major goal of DMR’s study by the Environmental Geology Division in 2008 is to delineate the characteristics of the Mae Tha and Thoen Faults and to define the mean for earthquake mitigation for several communities affected by these two fault groups by the generation of new active fault maps. The area under investigation covers several district areas where the Mae Tha and Thoen Faults pass including those of Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lamphun, Lampang and Phrae Provinces. Based upon the results of the study earthquake geology along the faults, summary is made in the following aspects as follows: (1) The Mae Tha Fault approximately 180 km-long, show evidence of movements during the Quaternary Period. The Mae Tha fault can be subdivided into 20 fault segments whereas the Thoen Fault approximately 190 km-long, can be divided into 17 segments. Based on age dating data, Doi Chom Hot, Nam Mae Khot, Ban Tham and Nam Mae Sapuat segments of the Mae Tha Fault, Wang Khon, Long, Phrae and Sob Prab segments of the Thoen Fault are regarded as active faults; (2) Doi Chom Hot segment, with a strike of north - south and westwerly, shows a reverse sense of movement. The surface rupture length of about 30 km is estimated to yield the maximum paleo-earthquake of about 6.8 on the Richter scale with a slip rate of 0.5 mm/year; (3) Nam Mae Khot fault segment with a strike north - south westerly dip, indicates the reverse sense of movement. The surface rupture length is about 25 km and considered to produce a paleo-earthquake magnitude of about 6.7 on the Richter scale with a slip rate of 0.1 mm/year; (4) Ban Tham fault segment with a north – south strike and easterly dip, shows a normal sense of movement. The estimate of the surface fault length is 12 kms and considered to produce a paleo-earthquake magnitude of about 6.3 on the Richter scale with a slip rate of about 0.1 mm/year; (5) Nam Mae Sapuat segment with a north-easteasterly stike and north-westerly dip shows the left lateral sense of movement at present. The estimate of the surface fault length is 33 km and considered to produce a paleo-earthquake magnitude of about 6.8 on the Richter scale with a slip rate of 1.0 mm/year; (6) Wang Khon fault segment with a NE strike NW dip shows the left lateral sense of movement. The estimation of the surface fault length is 39 km and considered to produce a paleo-earthquake magnitude of about 6.9 on the Richter scale with a slip rate of 0.4 mm/year; (7) Long segment with a NE strike and dip to the west, shows the left lateral sense of movement at present. The surface rupture length of about 42 km is estimated to yield the maximum paleo-earthquake of about 7.0 on the Richter scale with a slip rate of 0.4 mm/year;
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 207 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 (8) Phrae fault segment with a NE strike and SE dip indicates the left lateral sense of movement. The surface rupture length of about 49 km was determined to yield the maximum paleo-earthquake of about 7.0 on the Richter with a slip rate of 0.6 mm/year; (9) Sob Prab segment with a NE strike and NW dip, shows the left lateral sense of movement at present. The surface rupture length of about 34 km is estimated to yield the maximum paleo-earthquake of about 6.8 on the Richter scale with a slip rate of 1.0 mm/year; (10) Both Mae Tha and Thoen Faults are regarded as active and had their latest movements at about 13,000 to 1,000 years ago, respectively.

2.2.2 Landslide investigation: Watch networks Explosive population growth and economic development have expanded the number of settlements in landslide risk areas. Moreover, global warming has increased precipitation and the number of landslides and flash floods. A landslide is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground movement, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows. Although gravity acting and on over steepened slopes is the primary reason for a landslides, there are other contributing factors affecting the original slope stability such as. rainfall and land-use. Geological investigations were conducted in landslide risk areas to collect geological data and assess hazards and vulnerable areas. The computerized technique with assistance of GIS and remote sensing was used for analyzing and modeling to delineate, categorize susceptible areas and define landslide risk villages. People living in the risk areas were encouraged to form volunteer groups for disaster caution. Then workshops were held for training and hearing of their opinions on landslide matters. The objectives of the workshops are to point out risk potentials, to encourage people in disaster preparedness, to boost
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 210 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 awareness and to get better understanding of landslide behavior, warning signs and necessary evacuation proceedures. In 2009, DMR established watch networks in Kamphaeng Phet, Nakhonsawan, Trad, Ranong, Phitsanulok and Khon Kean provinces. Presently there are 12,057 DMR’s volunteers in 32 provinces. Landslide mitigation: • Mapping landslide hazard areas, • Detail Investigating landslide risk areas, • Training people in risk villages on “Landslide Watch Networks”, • Installing manual rain gauges in target areas, • Arranging Landslide Watch Networks seminars as a channel for exchange of experiences between DMR networks, • Informing and coordinating among DMR, relevant agencies and the networks in case of watch situation and exchange information, • Practicing of drill in high risk areas for the whole process starting from monitoring, warning, evacuating and coordinating.

2.2.3 Landslide rehabilitation Landslide rehabilitation was conducted in the Mae Ngon Royal Project area, Chiang Mai province. The area was affected by the flash flood and landslide in 2006. In this area special sand bags (extra sheet sand bag) were utilized in two ways of rehabilitations. The first is for increasing slope stability of the mountain side. This was implemented on the road side in the project area. The special sand bags were piled at the foot of the hill side to stop soil creeping and sliding from road cuttings. The second was used along river banks. At the beginning the capacity and flow rate of the river were improved by excavating the river profile from v-shape to be u-shape and rerouting the river to have less curves in order to reduce the overflow of water over the levee or the banks. The local vegetables were also screened and planted as an important part of rehabilitation in the long term. Programme Contact Person : 1.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY PROGRAMME 3.1 Summary The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) carried out an experimental baseline geochemical study in an effort to outline naturally contaminated areas of hazardous elements such as arsenic, copper, manganese, lead, zinc, cadmium, and others in Chiang Mai Province, covering study areas of approximately 13,000 square kilometres. 3.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) has an experimental baseline geochemical study in an effort to outline natural contaminated areas of hazardous element such as Arsenic, Copper, Manganese, Lead, Zinc, Cadmium and others, covering an area approximately 13,000 square kilometers of Chiang Mai province. The area selection is based on geological and geographical conditions and was carried out by collecting 778 samples of stream sediment and 752 samples of surface water from the study area and analyzing with Inductive Couple Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) for all natural contamination elements except Arsenic. Arsenic contamination in surface water was analysed by using a Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. Levels of risks of contaminated areas have been classified into 3 levels low, medium, and high risk. Study of natural heavy metal hazardous elements in suspected contaminated areas of Chiang Mai can be summarized as follows; Arsenic; Low Risk was found in 30 areas over the total areas of 400 Sq.Km. Medium Risk was found in 10 areas over the total area of 140 Sq.Km. High Risk was not found in any areas. No risk was identified in the remaining study areas. Cadmium; Low Risk was found in 30 areas over the total areas of 38 Sq.Km. Medium Risk and High Risk were not found in any area. No risk was identified in the remaining study areas. Copper; Low Risk was found in 9 areas over the total areas of 140 Sq.Km. Medium Risk and High Risk were not found in any area. No risk was identified in the remaining study areas, however, generally a small amount of natural contamination by copper is not toxic but is good for human body. Manganese; Low Risk was found in 11 areas over the total areas of 130 Sq.Km. Medium Risk was found in 1 area over the total area of 16 Sq.Km. No risk was identified in the remaining study areas, however, generally a small amount of Contaminated Manganese is not toxic to human body compared to toxicity of other metals such as Lead, Cadmium and Mercury. Lead; Low Risk was found in 1 area over the total areas of 5 Sq.Km Medium Risk was found in 1 area over the total area of 13 Sq.Km No risk was identified in the remaining study areas. Zinc; Low Risk was found in 9 areas over the total areas of 103 Sq.Km Medium Risk was found in 2 areas over the total area of 38 Sq.Km No risk was identified in the remaining study areas.

Many resource persons for the GEO Grid and geo-information dissemination programmes attended to express their knowledge and experience on grid technology. Meanwhile, Member Countries expressed requirements for imagery data for their specific interests in geology, mineral resources or geo-hazards. Finally, all participants were invited to visit the Mineral Resources Information Center, DMR campus and see best practice in geo-grid usage. Adoption for code lists and mandatory packages of the CCOP Metadata Standard was carried out last April after the ASOMM plus Three Seminar at Shanghai, China. Four packages and 7 supplementary code lists will be included in the standard. The CCOP TS will publish and disseminate the standard to all member-countries while the CGS will be host for the development of the metadata toolkit. Furthermore, the CGS will contribute the data-file for metadata preparation prior to the final workshop on implementation of the toolkit. 1.2 Annual Review of Technical Programme/Activities 1.2.1 Global Earth Observation Grid (GEO Grid) Project. A two day workshop for CCOP-AIST GEO Grid project was held on March 17-18, 2009 in Bangkok, Thailand. The workshop was supported by AIST/GSJ. Resource persons from the Information Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of AIST and IUGS attended the workshop and shared experience on grid technology and standard format for geo-information dissemination and sharing. Representatives from Member Countries expressed their requirements for geoscience research concerning imagery data. Global monitoring, interpretation and analysis in the geosciences can benefit from the online data that are available on the GEO Grid portal. DMR was a pioneer to participate in the GEO Grid project. All participants, therefore, were invited to visit the Mineral Resources Information Center. DMR’s experiences either positive or negative were expressed for discussion. Many resolutions in term of data provider and data user were achieved. The providers knew problems of data sharing and application accessibilities while users understood the best choice of data retrieval and correction methods. Recently, all research proposals that were allocated to GHZ VO were recalled for progress reports and final reports from the VO manager. 1.2.2 CCOP Metadata Project Phase II The CCOP Metadata Phase II had an expanded field of coverage to oil and gas that was evidenced by attendance at EPPM Project3. The metadata working group was invited to express comment and discuss the metadata standard and requirement analysis for the CCOP natural gas database workshop that was held on April 1-3, 2009 at Shanghai, China. The working group took the opportunity to discuss comments and non-coincident information of code lists. Finally, the CCOP Metadata Standard consisting of 4 packages and 7 code lists were officially adopted after the ASOMM Plus Three Seminar that was held thereafter with participation of CCOP TS.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 225 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 The project will follow a working plan that was adopted in Hainan. The CCOP TS will produce and publish the CCOP Metadata Standard booklet while the CGS will develop a metadata toolkit and contribute data-file for metadata preparation at the final workshop. The toolkit development is expected to be finalized by the end of 2009.

2.1. Summary Timor Leste is the world’s youngest nation. The country has considerable hydrocarbon resources, some of which have been established both offshore and onshore and there are great hopes to find new and significant hydrocarbon resources in previously unexplored areas. The Joint Petroleum Development Area (JPDA), formerly ZOCA, is administered jointly between Timor Leste and Australia, with a revenue split 90/10. The petroleum activities in Timor Leste, are administered by the Autoridade Nacional Petroleum (ANP). It is an institution responsible for managing and regulating petroleum activities in Timor Leste’s exclusive jurisdictional areas and in the Joint Petroleum Development Area (JPDA). As indicated in the onshore map below, numerous oil and gas seeps were occur onshore Timor Leste. A total of 24 gases and 16 oil seeps have been identified and mapped, over 20 onshore wells were drilled prior to 1975 and a number of significant oil and gas seeps have attracted industry interest to engage in onshore exploration. For Timor Leste Exclusive Offshore Area (see map below), in 2006, 6 out of 11 blocks were awarded to two different companies, Reliance and Eni Timor Leste. For the 6 blocks awarded, 3 firm wells are scheduled to be drilled by the end of 2009. In the JPDA area, since the early years of exploration in the 1970s numerous petroleum prospects and leads have been identified, fifty exploration wells have been drilled and four commercially viable fields have been identified and developed. Amongst these, the Elang, Kakatua and Kakatua north fields (EKKN), which produced oil since the late 1990s, ceased production in mid 2007, whilst Bayu Undan (JPDA 03-12 & 03-13) continues to produce oil and gas at a steady rate since its first production in 2004. The Greater Sunrise field, with mainly natural gas, and the Kitan oil field (JPDA 06-105), which was declared commercial early this year, are currently being assessed for appropriate development options. And the last one is JPDA 06-103, which also already approved by ANP to drill this year.

2.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities 2.2.1. Bayu Undan (JPDA 03-12 & JPDA 03-13) Bayu Undan field is the current production that is giving good potential petroleum reserves in the rebuilding and development of Timor Leste. Bayu Undan was discovered in 1995, commenced production in February 2004. The gas condensate field has estimated recoverable reserves of 400 million barrels condensate and LPG, and 3.4 tcf of natural gas. The field lies in 80 meters of water, 50 kilometers south of Suai, Timor-Leste, and 500 kilometers northwest of Darwin, Australia. The reservoir gas is stripped of its liquid (LPG and condensate) which is then stored in the FPSO Liberdade. The lean gas is piped 500km southeast to Darwin where it is processed into LNG. The Operator is Conoco Phillips with the partners is INPEX, Santos, Tokyo Electric Power and Tokyo Gas.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 234 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 The following is figure indicates condensates, LPG and water produced from January 2004 to July 2009.
The recoverable gas is 3,979 Bcf and recoverable liquid is 542 MMstb is the probabilistic estimates of the field’s resources.
2.2.2. EKKN Project The EKKN oil fields were brought online through a Floating Production Storage and Offloading Facility (FPSO) from July 1998 to July 2007. The cumulative production from the field was 31.6 Mmbbls.
2.2.3. JPDA 03-19 & JPDA 03-20 Woodside Petroleum Pty Ltd, as the operator for Greater Sunrise field, is currently assessing appropriate method for the development of the field. The field is estimated to contain recoverable reserves of 5.7 tcf dry gas and 299 Mmbbls of condensate. More geological and geophysical related studies have also been undertaken to further assess the current reserves estimate.
2.2.4. JPDA 06-101(A) Block JPDA 06-101(A) is operated by Minza Oil and Gas Ltd. Exploration activities in the block focus on completing geological and geophysical studies and planning for 2D seismic survey acquisition to enhance the understanding of the Chudich field and the nearby prospect within the block. Extension was given to Minza Oil Ltd in block JPDA 06-101A to carry forward Seismic Survey to third contract year ending 9 March 2009.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 235 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 2.3. Proposed Future Activities 2.3.1. JPDA 06-102 The operator for block JPDA 06-102, Petronas Carigali Overseas Sdn Bhd, has completed acquiring and processing a 3D seismic survey over an area of 645 km2 targeting the Bayu East and Elang Far East prospect. Petronas in block JPDA 06-102 was gearing up to drilling all three commited wells. JVs agreed and drillable prospects approved by ANP are: Makikit (formerly known as Elang Far East, Kurita (formerly known as Bayu South East), and Sipu (formerly known as Bayu South). The drilling will start in mid-July.
2.3.2. JPDA 06-103 Oilex Ltd. as the operator for block JPDA 06-103, has 2 well commitments in 2009 and another 2 wells in the company plans to drill is first well in Q4 2009. The company is working towards completing a 3D seismic survey over an area of 2082 km2, prospect mapping and ranking. It expected the first well in August 2009 by the drilling rig Trans Ocean Legend.
2.3.3. JPDA 06-105 JPDA 06-105 is operated by Eni Pty Ltd who drilled 2 wells, Kitan-1 and Kitan-2 to evaluate the Kitan Structure in the southern sector of block JPDA 06-105 (Kitan prospect) in early 2008. The two wells encountered the presence of a commercial oil accumulation, thus a commercial discovery for this field was declared in April 2008 by the JPDA-105 Joint Venture (consisting of Eni, INPEX Timor Sea, Ltd and Talisman Resources (JPDA 06-105) Pty Limited). Eni Pty Lty has further progressed in the preparation of a Development Plan and is scheduled to deliver the plan to the ANP before mid year 2009.
2.4. Other Comments For the moment, ANP doest not need assistance but we are really appreciated if CCOP can provide assistance to support us in our Exploration and Production program.

GEO-RESOURCES SECTOR 1. MINERAL PROGRAMME 1.1. Summary During the report period July 2008 to June 2009, Vietnam has implemented many activities related to the Mineral Program, including geological mapping, mineral investigation and mineral potential assessment. 1.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities 1.2.1 Regional Geological and Mineral Survey The Department of Geology and Minerals of Vietnam has carried on geological mapping and mineral resource investigation at a 1:50.000 scale in many provinces of the country, including: Cao Bang, Son La, Lang Sơn, Yen Bai, Bac Giang, Ninh Binh, Gia Lai, Kon Tum, Tay Ninh. During the investigation many geological and mineral discoveries were made, of which the most significant were the discovery of iron ore in the Van Chan map sheets of Yen Bai province. This discovery has contributed to the creation of a high potential iron ore area in Yen Bai, with sufficient background for further investigation and assessment. Some other notable results are: - Delineation of distribution area of the rocks of the Early Palaeozoic Ca Vinh complex, and initial clarification of their granitic origin. - Discovery of barite ore in Cao Bang province. - Discovery of polymetallic ore in Gia Lai province. - The geoplogists of DGMV and China Geological Survey have carried out joint geologicsal survey in the north of Vietnam within the International 1: 5.000.000 Geological Map of Asia project. - The Geological Survey of Japan collaborated with DGMV in studying the Cenozoic volcanic rocks in the south of Vietnam. The Vietnam Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (VIGMR) has carried out some works as follows: - Completed some, and is carrying out other, basic research projects on paleontology and stratigraphy in Vietnam. As a result, fossil assemblages characterizing the different stratigraphic levels in the north east have been differentiated and the geologic histroy of the area has been clarified.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 239 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 - Completed a part of the Fossil Atlas of Vietnam consisting of 4 volumes on Bivalvia, Foraminifera, Brachiopoda, Spores and Pollen. The outstanding problems in the stratigraphic subdivision of the Phanerozoic in the Northwest region has been initially solved. - Completed some research projects on metamorphic rocks, Neogene sediments in the Central Highland, turbidite on Co To islands, lamprophyre in the NW of Vietnam and on the Mesozoic sedimentology of the North Central region. - In magmatic petrology, VIGMR has completed the research project: “Accomplishing the magmatic scale based on the global tectonic view point”. As a result, the the magmatic rocks in Vietnam have been divided into 5 groups and 37 assemblages based on their tectonic circumstances. The genesis, composition, age, tectonic circumstance and metallogenic characteristics of each assemblage have been greatly clarified. A reasonable magmatic scale based on the global tectonic view point has been established. - In metamorphic petrology, VIGMR has studied and clarified the characteristics of metemorphic phases and facies in the metamorphic rocks of the Song Hong zone, and the metemorphogenic minerals, with many new discoveries of rocks and minerals of granulite and eclogite facies. - In sedimentology, VIGMR has carry out the researchs on Mesozoic sedimentary basins in the North Central region, Neogene basins in the Central highlands and Silurian turbidite sediments on Co To island with the aim to clarify the rock facies, paletogeographic and paleoenvoronmental conditions of their deposition, their extent, process of formation and development of the sedimentary basins, as well as related mineral and groundwater potential. 1.2.2 Assessment of Mineral Potential Completed work: The Department of Geology and Minerals of Vietnam (DGMV) has completed numerous projects on assesment of titanium-zircon placer, lead-zinc, barite and manganese ore within the whole country. Titanium-zircon placer: DGMV has completed the work of investigation and assessment of titanium and titanium-zircon placers in the following areas of the coastal zone: - From Thanh Hoa to Thua Thien - Hue - From Da Nang to Phu Yen - From Khanh Hoa to Ba Ria - Vung Tau The discovery of titanium-zircon ore in the Pleistocene red sand layer is an outstanding success, as this red sand layer is of wide distribution with a large thickness, mainly in Binh Thuan and partly in Ninh Thuan, Ba Ria - Vung Tau provinces, so it is of highly promising potential. In Thai Nguyen province, 12 titanium ore bodies formed by weathering of ore-bearing gabbro have been discovered and assessed. The ore is of high grade and mining conditions are favourable.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 240 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 The titanium and zircon ore resources discovered and investigated in the last period have put Vietnam among the group of countries in the world with a large titanium potential serving as a reliable basis for sustainable development of the titanium mining and processing industry. Lead-zince ore: Twenty-two (22) lead-zinc ore bodies have been discovered and assessed in Tuyen Quang province, of which sixteen (16) are new discoveries. The investigation has resulted in the increase of the lead-zinc ore resource in the lead- zinc ore bearing area in NE Vietnam, serving as the basis to supplement and adjust the approved lead-zinc ore exploration, mining and processing master plan. Barite ore: For the first time barite ore has been discovered in the old metamorphic rocks in Phu Tho Province, opening up the possibility of future new discoveries of barite ore in this structural zone. Manganese ore: Manganese and iron-manganese ores have been investigated and assessed in Ha Tinh Province. The results of manganese ore assessment in the area have opened up the prospect of searching and discovering this kind of ore in the manganese bearing siliceous schist distributed in near-by areas. Ongoing work: There are thirteen ongoing mineral investigation and assessment projects, in nine of which the fieldwork has been completed. The results show that most of the projects have either reached or exceeded the resource target approved. The Vietnam Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (VIGMR) have implemented numerous research projects on material composition and assessment of mineral resources: - In the project “Investigation and research on nepheline syenite prospects in Bac Kan province and evaluation of their possible uses for high grade ceramic and porcelain production”, two prospective nepheline syenite bearing areas have been delineated with six ore bodies. Also, within this project, blue calcite and sapphire occurrences have been discovered, requiring further investigation for clarification of their potential. - In the project “Studying the material composition and prospects of high Mg minerals for producing refractory materials in the Central Highlands", two areas have been selected for exploration and exploitation of magnetite and dolomite; a map of distribution and prospective zoning of magnesite and dolomite in the Central Highlands at 1/200,000 scale has been compiled. The Marine Geology and and Mineral Resources Center under VASI completed the field work of the project "Survey and assessment of mineral resources evaluation of the shallow offsore area of Soc Trang province at 1/100,000 scale". The preliminary results of the survey on over 5,500 km2 of the shallow offshore area within 0-30m water depth of Soc Trang province show that this area is poor in placer minerals but very rich in fill materials, with prognostic resource of over 10 billion m3.

ANNUAL COOPERATING COUNTRY REPORT
Country: FINLAND Period: 1 July 2008 - 30 June 2009
1. Summary Finland has joined CCOP as a cooperating country after meetings at the 33rd IGC in Oslo (Norway) and at the headquarters of the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) in Espoo (Finland) in August 2008, and after final negotiations during the CCOP annual session in Khon Kaen, Thailand in November 2008. Until joining CCOP, Finland had been an observer to CCOP since 2004. So far GTK has not had too many activities in the CCOP region, but mutual interest is growing. There is a large potential for cooperation in the field of geo-data management, geological and ore prospecting, geochemical baseline mapping and environmental geology, as well as in hazard and risk assessment. GTK comes with extensive experience of cooperation in Europe, strong and continuously growing cooperation with NIS and central Asian countries, as well as Eastern Africa. CCOP will serve as an excellent platform to foster mutual interest for further geoscientific cooperation. As a government agency operating primarily within the minerals, construction and energy sector, GTK plays a vital role in providing geological expertise to government, industry and the wider community. Specific responsibilities include the promotion and implementation of sustainable approaches to the supply and management of minerals, energy and construction materials, and to ensure environmental compliance through monitoring, assessment and remediation programs. GTK also contributes to a wide range of international geoscience mapping and environmental monitoring projects and is active in developing multidisciplinary research programs with universities, government agencies and stakeholders across related sectors. The GTK research programs and services comprise: Mineral Potential; Energy; Urban geology; Environmental impact; Groundwater; Minerals and processing; Geophysical applications and Geoinformation.
2. Review of current technical activities and geoscience programmes in the CCOP Region (Multilateral or Bilateral)
Lao-Finnish minerals sector institutional project - "LAOFIMIN" Currently GTK has one major project in the CCOP region, the Lao-Finnish minerals sector institutional project - "LAOFIMIN". It is conducted by the Department of Geology and Department of Mines (Ministry of Energy and Mines), Lao PDR and the regional northern Finland office of the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) (Ministry of Economy and the Employment). LAOFIMIN consists of four Components: 1. Geoinformation and data management 2. Training in GIS-aided geological mapping 3. Mine Closure 4. Promotion of minerals investment
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 255 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 In the implementation of all above components emphasis is given to capacity building through tailored courses, hands-on practices, field visits, seminars, co-working in the facilities and with existing tools of MEM and GTK. The overall objective of the project accords with the long-term goal of the Lao government to support the minerals sector development as a fundamental driver of the country’s economy. This is done by strengthening capacities of DOM and DGEO in the governance of national mineral resources in a sustainable and economically viable manner using geoinformation as a decision making tool and for the promotion of minerals investments. As a concrete result of the project administrative procedures and existing geoinformation are compiled into a spatial geodatabase available for both internal (decision making, planning, guiding and monitoring) and external use (promotion). Availability of all this information will lead to increased transparency of minerals sector administrative procedures and keep the level of investments and activities at a high level. The project duration is for 2 years and the overall budget 0.5 million €. The GTK project coordinator: Dr. Esko Korkiakoski. In 2008 GTK has organized workshops on natural hazards, climate change and risk under the auspices of the National University of Malaysia and in cooperation with the Thai Department of Mineral Resources. The aim of these workshops is capacity building, as GTK has considerable experience in implementing climate change and natural hazard adaptation for land use planning in several countries in the Baltic Sea Region. The Representative of the Geological Survey of Finland: Dr. Philipp Schmidt-Thomé. In April 2004 a delegation from Singapore visited GTK to learn more about underground construction techniques, especially the modeling process behind the planning (fractures, etc). Several presentations discussed latest GTK involvements in urban geological projects, e.g. in building a new metro line, as well as understanding urban risks from a geological perspective. Kyushu University, Japan - GTK geoenergy research cooperation The GTK Kokkola regional office has entered geoenergy cooperation in Japan, focusing on Thermal Response Test (TRT), especially the thermal properties of energy wells, influence of ground water and modeling. The cooperation is based on a cooperation agreement in geoenergy with GTK in connection with the large national Finnish geoenergy project GEOENER. The project is lead by Chief Scientist (Phil.Lic.) Jarmo Kallio; Associate Professor Hikari Fujii and Mr. Keita Nishi from the Kyushu University, Japan.
Memorandum of understanding between the China Geological Survey and the Geological Survey of Finland The MoU as well as talks during further meetings in 2009 pointed out that several topics offer the potential to rapidly open the practical cooperation gate, concentrating in the geo- environment sector, particularly in: • geologic support to large infrastructure projects (e.g. roads, bridges, tunnels, and railroads); • prediction of and preparedness for geo-environmental hazards; • the importance of relative sea level changes for infrastructure and urban planning; • groundwater issues; • environment issues in and services for the mining sector; • background concentrations (baseline) of elements in the environment and/or
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 256 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 • utilization of geological and geochemical data in spatial planning and reduction of land-use impacts.
3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support to current and future activities
Cooperation potential between CGS and GTK Since many of the above subjects are currently ranked as priority areas for development in both CGS and its regional organization and the GTK, it is logical to propose that first practical cooperation project would focus on one or more of these areas. Geo- environmental applications present an important opportunity for both organizations to increase the degree of processing and value addition for their geological and geochemical data and expertise. In the near future, this focus topic will obviously be extremely beneficial for both organizations and Chinese and Finnish society. Another, entirely different topic for building Chinese-Finnish cooperation could be the concept of raw materials-based sustainable development (RBSD). Both China and Europe depend much on imported raw materials. The CGS and GTK could jointly elaborate the implementation of RBSD to enable minerals rich but poor producer countries to fully take the opportunity that mining can provide for their development and, thus, securing raw materials supply in the long term. Both the geo-environment sector and RBSD concept could also offer opportunities to develop the CGS-GTK partnership and joint consultancy projects in third countries. More detailed identification of themes for cooperation might be best achieved through meeting of expert teams from both organizations. To enable a rapid start, it is recommended that the cooperation project would be first implemented through mutual change of expert teams and other resources based on "in kind".

ANNUAL COOPERATING COUNTRY REPORT
Country: GERMANY Period: 1 July 2008 - 30 June 2009
1. Summary During 2008 and 2009 the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) has continued its activities in SE Asia with its local partners. In the Scientific-Technical Cooperation sector four projects are ongoing. With China BGR is cooperating in the projects: Investigations for the final disposal of radioactive waste, - Innovative Technologies for Exploration, Extinction and Monitoring of coal Fires in North China, - Rift processes and basin development in the northern South China Sea (RISE) - Scientific cooperation between BGR and the Ministry of Land and Resources (MLR) The Technical Cooperation sector comprises six projects. Three projects in Indonesia: - Good Local Governance: Component Mitigation of Georisks, - Management of Georisks, Banda Aceh, - German-Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning system - component capacity building. In Vietnam two projects are ongoing: Support for a mines inspectorate - Improvement of Groundwater Protection. In the frame of the supra-regional technical cooperation programme “Implementing the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)” BGR is cooperating with the Philippines and Vietnam. CCOP and BGR conducted to two Training/Workshop for CCOP-Countries in the field of Geological Storage of CO2 and Management of Georisks.
2. Review of Current Technical Activities and Geoscience Programmes in the CCOP Region (Multilateral or Bilateral) Indonesia Good Local Governance: Component Mitigation of Georisks A Technical Cooperation project between the Indonesian Geological Agency and BGR started in 2002 and was extended in 2006. The objective is to ensure application of geological hazard information as part of urban planning activities such as; - development of guidelines for user-oriented geo-hazard information, - field investigations in selected areas related to the type of geo-hazard and application within regional planning. The project will be implemented as a component of an existing GTZ project on civil society and inter-municipal cooperation for strengthening good local governance. The ongoing second project phase will terminate at end of 2009. A third 3 year phase from 2010 - 2013 is envisaged. Management of Georisks, Banda Aceh BGR and the Indonesian Geological Agency started the project “Management of Georisks, Banda Aceh” in 2005. The objective of the project is to provide geological Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 261 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 information and advisory services in the field of ground water, construction raw materials, safe building ground and on earthquake proven constructions for a proper and sustainable reconstruction of the Tsunami effected areas of Northern Sumatra. In close cooperation with the local administration and the affected population, the project will establish recommendations for sustainable local natural disaster reduction. The project duration is from 08/2005 - 07/2009. German-Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System” (GITEWS) - Component Capacity Building GITEWS is a contribution on the part of the German government to the rebuilding of early warning infrastructures in the region of the Indian Ocean. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Educational Research (BMBF). The German contribution to the detection system of earthquakes and tsunamis relies on a marine measurement procedure and a seismological research network. Together with national and international partners, a concept is being developed under the guidance of Geo Research Center Potsdam (GFZ) that will significantly reduce the warning time of a tsunami using real-time data transfer, predetermined flooding scenarios in coastal regions as well as by directly creating warning reports. The component on Institution Building is a joint initiative by the Indonesian Ministry for Research and Technology (RISTEK) and BGR. It focuses on analysis of mandates of authorities involved in TEWS, concept elaboration for the organisational setup of the early warning chain, strengthening of inter-institutional communication, identification of training needs (administrative, political) and support in implementing guide-lines for the TEWS. The project started in June 2006 and is scheduled until to run to the end 2009.
People’s Republic of China Scientific cooperation between BGR and the Ministry of Land and Resources (MLR) In the framework of the Chinese - German scientific experience exchange between the Ministry for Land and Resources (MLR) and the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) the BGR is cooperating in the field of data exchange, land subsidence and Mining/Environment. Investigations for the final disposal of radioactive waste Within the frame of a Memorandum of Understanding the BGR is co-operating with the Beijing Research Institute of Uranium Geology (BRIUG) in the field of geoscientific investigations for the final disposal of radioactive waste. The agreement between the two institutes comprises; - the methodological study of site characterisations, - the study of the stability of underground excavations and underground repositories, - the study of the mechanical and hydraulical properties of the granite of the Beishan site (Gobi desert) in China, - the study of migration of radio nuclides in fractured rock. Based on the Memorandum of Understanding, a comparative coupled THM modelling exercise based on the Chinese verified HLW disposal concept has been jointly performed using the numerical codes GeoSys/RockFlow by BGR and ANSYS by BRIUG. A joint paper on the work was presented by BGR at the international conference SINOROCK held 2009 in Hongkong. Additionally, the Chinese partner is preparing the data from the site investigation of Beishan for BGR, which is necessary for the building of a geological model. For coordination
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 262 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 of the data delivery, a visit of BGR personal to BRIUG is planed. Meanwhile, a renewal of the existing MoU will be discussed. Coal fire project “Innovative Technologies for Exploration, Extinction and Monitoring of coal Fires in North China” Since March 2007 the second phase of the coal fire project has been active. Whereas in the first phase the exploration and understanding of mechanisms of coal fires had priority, the ongoing work concentrates on extinction techniques, extinction verification and clean development mechanisms (CDM) as defined under the Kyoto protocol. BGR is especially involved in the development of techniques to estimate the exhaust gases and the fire propagation of coal fires including geophysical, geochemical and petrological investigations. These studies form a base for CDM studies. In this special application coal fire extinction shall be certified within the Kyoto protocol annexes in order to generate certified emission reductions for international CO2 trading. The project will end in fall 2010. Project results shall be presented in an international workshop in spring 2010. Project partners in China are Shenua Inc. Beijing, The Coalfield Fire Extinguishing Engineering Department of Xinjiang, China Coal Research Institute, Beijing, Beijing Normal University, German GTZ office.
Vietnam Support for a mines inspectorate Starting in September 2004 the Technical Cooperation project “Support for a mines inspectorate” helps the Department of Geology and Minerals of Vietnam (DGMV) to establish a Mines or Mineral Inspectorate, provides basic and further training in the fields of mining and processing of minerals, mining regulations, safety operations, work safety, health protection, mine surveying, data processing and environmental protection for Vietnamese counterparts. The project will be phased out in 2/2010. Improvement of Groundwater Protection The aim of the project carried out by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) and its subordinate Centre for Water Resources Planning and Investigation, (CWRPI) in cooperation with the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) is the improvement of groundwater protection in Vietnam. Based on enhanced investigation, modelling, planning and management of groundwater resources exercised first in pilot areas, integrated water resources management should improve the quantity and quality of the groundwater as a main source for drinking water. Great importance is being accorded in this context to the establishment of groundwater protection areas and the embedding of protection aspects in regional planning. The project started in 6/2009. The first phase will end in 12/2010 (1.5 years). A second phase is envisaged until mid 2014 (3.5 years). Extended continental shelf (UNCLOS, Art. 76) On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), BGR is carrying out the supra-regional technical cooperation programme “Implementing the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)”. Within the scope of this project, BGR is offering developing coastal states scientific and technical support in the delineation of the outer limits of their continental shelves (Article 76, UNCLOS) and in the preparation of their submissions to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf. BGR assisted the Institute of Marine Geology and

The Philippines Rift processes and basin development in the northern South China Sea (RISE) Marine field operations of a joint research project in cooperation between BGR and the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB), Philippines, as well as the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority Republic of the Philippines (NAMRIA), were carried out in early 2008. The targets are the shelf, slope and adjacent deep ocean floor off Luzon and Palawan to better understand the tectonic development of the South China Sea and the formation history of its continental margins. Data evaluation is well under way. Based on the results, an IODP drill proposal will be developed to verify and improve the resulting continental rift-drift concept. Cooperating partners are: Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB), National Mapping and Resource Information Authority Republic of the Philippines (NAMRIA) and University of the Philippines, National Institute of Geological Sciences (UP- NGIS). Extended continental shelf (UNCLOS, Art. 76) On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), BGR is carrying out the supra-regional technical cooperation programme “Implementing the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)”. BGR assisted the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) by providing marine scientific data and information from previous BGR surveys in the region including the discussion of the scientific results, as well as through scientific and technical advice during the set-up of a seismic data processing unit at the University of the Philippines. Multilateral
BGR-CCOP Workshop on Geological Storage of CO2 (22-26 Jun 2009, Bangkok, Thailand) The objective of the workshop was capacity building in developing CCOP-countries regarding regulation of geological CO2 storage as one mitigation option for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (CO2). Methods and tools were put in place, enabling participants
1) to understand all facets of geological CO2 storage and 2) to endow geological institutions with knowledge and experiences from others to provide political advice to their government on CO2 storage issues in the lead-up to the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen, December 2009. Regulation of CO2 storage is essential for the successful and safe use of CCS technologies in order to contribute to climate change mitigation. BGR-CCOP Training/Workshop on Natural Disaster Management-Management of Indonesia Georisks; Good Local Governance Approach (23-25 June 2009, Yogyakarta, Indonesia) The aim of the workshop (23-25 June 2009) was the dissemination of the results of the Indonesian-German Cooperation Projects “Management of Georisks”, with respect to the role of geology in the risk reduction from natural disasters and implementation for local government practice, to a professional audience from the CCOP countries with interest in the field of hazard mitigation and prevention and sustainable management.

ANNUAL COOPERATING COUNTRY REPORT
Country: The Netherlands Period: 1 July 2008 - 30 June 2009
1. Summary During the report period no projects were funded directly by the Dutch Government. Dutch development assistance has changed considerably, both geographically and in focus. Since the government elections of May 2003, aid is concentrated on some 30 countries. The focus of Dutch assistance has moved away from the geosciences in general. Also, the continent of Africa has become the prime target of assistance. The worldwide increasing attention to climate change and the urgency in combating its consequences may lead to renewed interest in geoscience from the government. Chances for Dutch funding of (a) CCOP project(s) may still exist through funds that are centrally managed, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in The Netherlands, and which are earmarked for cross-border activities and/or support to local institutions. Besides Dutch development assistance there are possibilities of co-operation through Dutch-sponsored programmes that have the objective to increase Dutch exports. These programmes are being pursued actively in country-to-country initiatives outside the direct context of CCOP. Furthermore, possibilities of research cooperation may increase in the EU framework programmes.
2. Review of current technical activities and geoscience programmes in the CCOP Region (Multilateral or Bilateral) China: Started in March 2003, the project “Capacity Building of a China Groundwater Information Centre”, financed jointly by the Ministry and the Netherlands, is progressing smoothly. The project aims to install groundwater monitoring networks and the geohydrological information system REGIS in Beijing and in three pilot areas and strengthens co-operation between the China Institute of Geo-Environmental Monitoring and the Geological Survey of the Netherlands - TNO. The project has been completed in November 2008.
3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support to current and future activities The Geological Survey of the Netherlands - TNO will continue to seek funding for joint co-operation projects and appreciates initiatives from member countries for opportunities to co-operate.
4. Reports/publications of technical activities for dissemination to CCOP Member Countries including contributions to GRID-Net IGRAC: During the 4th World Water Forum in Mexico City, Mexico, 2006, UNESCO and WMO reconfirmed the importance of sustainable groundwater management and support
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 267 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 of IGRAC. In April 2007 the Executive Council of UNESCO formally accepted the proposal to establish IGRAC as a Category II UNESCO Institute in The Netherlands, hosted by the Geological Survey of The Netherlands-TNO (now part of Deltares, see 5.). The centre operates a Global Groundwater Information System, promotes and develops guidelines and protocols, exchanges groundwater information and addresses global groundwater issues and trends. The member countries are invited to consult the web under www.igrac.nl to be informed about the results so far and also contribute to the benefit of the groundwater community worldwide.
5. Other information 5.1. New Dutch Institute for Delta Technology: Deltares During the reporting period, part of the Geological Survey of The Netherlands - TNO, namely the Subsurface and Groundwater Division of TNO Built Environment and Geoscience, became a founding member of a new institute in The Netherlands, called Deltares. As from 1 January 2008, a new and independent institute for applied research and specialist advice has been created from parts of Rijkswaterstaat /DWW, RIKZ and RIZA, WL|Delft Hydraulics, GeoDelft and part of TNO Built Environment and Geosciences. The institute Deltares (research institute for water and subsurface issues) employs about 850 people and has comprehensive knowledge and experience in the field of water, soil and the subsurface. The initiative for the formation of the institute has been approved by the Dutch Parliament in the light of the global challenges The Netherlands faces in the spatial planning, design and management of vulnerable deltas, coastal areas and river basins. In The Netherlands, Deltares is the frontrunner in the development, distribution and application of knowledge for meeting these challenges, not only nationally, but also internationally. Deltares works for and cooperates with Dutch government, provinces and water boards, international governments, knowledge institutes and market parties. The institute is located in two cities: Delft and Utrecht. 5.2. Widely applicable consultancy and research Deltares seeks the right balance between consultancy and research at both the national and international level. Deltares is concerned with areas where economic development and population pressure are high, where space and natural resources both above and below the surface have to be used and managed in multi-functional and intensive ways. 5.3. Background of the founding institutes
• WL | Delft Hydraulics: water-related issues worldwide. • GeoDelft: issues in the field of geo-engineering. • TNO Built Environment and Geosciences - Subsurface and Groundwater Division: groundwater management, subsurface/soil remediation and the management and use of the subsurface domain, including the UNESCO Category II Institute IGRAC. • The Department of Transport, Public Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat): flood protection and safeguarding adequate supplies of clean water for all users. Rijkswaterstaat has transferred knowledge development for delta issues to Deltares.

1. Summary
This has been another active year in the cooperation between CCOP and Norway, with the main activities being the start up of the new Enhanced Public Petroleum Management (EPPM) Project. There has also been activity on bilateral projects with CCOP member countries. In 2008 Timor-Leste became a full member of CCOP. The programme pertaining to Timor-Leste is therefore described under chapter two in this report. The activities of Petrad are reported separately.
2. Review of current technical activities and geoscience programs in the CCOP Region (Multilateral or Bilateral)
a. Program on Enhancing Public Petroleum Management of the CCOP Member Countries (EPPM Program)
The EPPM Program was approved by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) and an agreement between CCOP and MFA was signed on 10 July 2008. The budget is NOK 15 million, and the project period is 1 July 2008 - 30 June 2012.
The goal of the programme is to create the highest possible value for society from petroleum resources in order to improve the quality of life of the people in the CCOP Member Countries.
The objectives of the Programme are: 1. To enhance the capability and capacity of Member Countries in assessment of the undiscovered petroleum resources with focus on natural gas. 2. To enhance the capacity and capability of member Countries in natural gas development and clean development mechanism and environmental issues. 3. To set up an easily accessible metadata on natural gas resources of the CCOP Countries for knowledge sharing and preservation on natural gas resource exploration, exploitation and environmental impact mitigation. The EPPM project comprises three main areas, addressed in three projects: • Petroleum Resource Management with focus on Natural Gas (P1); • Natural Gas Field Developments and Environmental Issues (P2); and • Metadata on Natural Gas Resources of the CCOP Region (P3).
The project is implemented in cooperation with the NPD, supporting the activities under the P1 and P3 projects, and Petrad, supporting the P2 project. Agreements on cooperation between CCOP and NPD, and between CCOP and Petrad were signed 9 October 2008.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 271 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 The project also includes a Feasibility study on Networking of Petroleum Geosciences Institutes and Petroleum Geosciences Organizations in the CCOP Member Countries. This study considers including the Asia Institute of Technology (AIT) as regional partner of the CCOP TS for the networking. The inclusion of AIT is in accordance to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between CCOP and AIT, signed on 13 June 2005.
The EPPM Project was officially started by the EPPM Launching Seminar that was organised in Bangkok during 8- 9 October 2008. There were 41 participants including CCOP TS staff attending the seminar.
During the reporting period, a total of three capacity‐building workshops were conducted, one each for projects P1, P2 and P3 of the programme. The workshops were as follows:
1. EPPM P2W1: Workshop on development of natural gas resources with high CO2 & Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in CCOP, Bali, Indonesia, 17‐20 March 2009.
The objectives of P2 are to enhance the capacity and capability of MC in natural gas development and clean development mechanisms & environmental issues. P2 would be implemented through a series of 6 workshops using case studies on gas fields. China, through SINOPEC, has offered a case study of their Puguang gas field in the Sichuan basin (onshore) which has issues primarily related to H2S and CO2.
A total of 55 participants from China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Timor-Leste, Thailand,Vietnam and also from the CCOP TS attended. Most of the participants are management representatives from various government and private sector organisations of the oil and gas industry, including the 25 from Indonesia.
2. EPPM P3W1: Workshop on metadata standards & requirement analysis for the CCOP Natural Gas Database Metadata, 1‐3 April 2009, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China.
The objective of P3 is to set up an easily accessible metadata on natural gas resources of the CCOP Countries for knowledge sharing & preservation on natural gas resource exploration, exploitation and environmental impact mitigation. P3 is planned to be implemented through series of workshop dealing on requirement analysis of the MC, metadata contents & definitions, international standards, metadata structure design & software development, developing capacities for software usage and maintenance, capacities for data base population and validation, and capacities for collaboration in the CCOP networks.
This was the first workshop under this project and a total of 31 participants from China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Timor-Leste, Thailand and Vietnam attended the workshop.
Mr. Kjell-Reidar Knudsen, NPD, shared NPD’s experience on metadata and facilitated important discussions on the way forward and how to build upon the results and experience already gained from previous CCOP meta-data projects. The workshop participants also include members of the CCOP (1st) metadata workgroup. This particular workgroup is led and supported by China (CGS) and already in the final stage of developing a system for the CCOP geosciences metadata.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 272 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 Some topics discussed and agreed upon were: • Develop a simple proto-type metadata for testing of real data from MCs. • Ensure compatibility across CCOP MCs own standards. • Establish the P3 Metadata, based upon Annual Reports from MCs.
3. EPPM P1W1: Workshop on the North Sumatra - Mergui Basin cross border case study - geology and tectonic setting, 12‐14 May 2009, Krabi, Thailand.
The objective of P1 is to enhance the capability and capacity of the Member Countries in the assessment of undiscovered petroleum resources with focus on natural gas. The Project would be implemented through a cross‐border case study on the North Sumatra‐Mergui Basin which is under the national territory of Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. The planned activities to support the study will be 6 workshops with technical training, expert visits and fieldwork.
This was the first workshop under this project and a total of 20 participants from 10 Member Countries attended the workshop.
Mr. Knut Henrik Jakobsson, NPD, shared the Norwegian experience in cross-border studies. Main topics at the workshop was : • Discussions on developing of a database for the study, • Basin analysis workflow; the same workflow as in the ICB-project was chosen, • Data (seismic surveys and lines, wells) to be provided from each of the three hosts of the study, • Map scales, and deliverables.
All the workshops achieved their respective objectives.
b. Developing Cambodia’s Oil and Gas Industry
The goal of this bilateral project is to strengthen Cambodia’s ability to govern the exploration and production of its petroleum resources by improving the Cambodia National Petroleum Authority’s (CNPA) ability to: • Write and maintain the legal framework for its upstream and downstream petroleum industry. • Carry out bilateral negotiations and establish a legal framework under which two or three neighboring countries can utilize petroleum resources in overlapping claims areas. • Negotiate petroleum licenses with oil companies. • Promote Cambodia’s petroleum resources by maintaining a competitive licensing and model petroleum contract.
NPD is coordinating the project. A contract for the cooperation between CNPA and NPD was signed in June 2006. The Norwegian law firm Wikborg Rein is contracted and have provided a resident project coordinator to give expert legal advice to CNPA.
A high level International Conference “Fuelling Poverty Reduction with Oil and Gas Revenues” was conducted in Phnom Penh in March 2008. The conference was organized by NPD, UNDP, NORAD and Petrad.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 273 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 The project was completed in 2008. An application has been sent by the CNPA for additional legal advice and is currently under consideration. The exact set-up of a further cooperation program between Norway and Cambodia is now being discussed.
c. Development of Management Systems on Safety and Pollution Control in the Vietnamese Petroleum Industry, Phase III
The objectives are to establish a sustained process for further development of health, safety and environmental management in the Vietnamese petroleum industry to minimize the risk of personnel injuries, major accidents and environmental damage.
Phase III aims at implementation of the Safety Management Regulation and accompanting guidelines. Phase III started in 2008 and will run until 2011. Petrovietnam is the cooperating institution in this project. The total budget is NOK 7.1 million.
In 2008 several workshops were completed on: • Baseline study of HSE-MS implementation • HSE accident and incident recording and reporting • Development of emergency response management • Hazardous and Oily Waste • HSE Data Control System • Auditing back to back with real time Audit
The activities in 2009 are more focused upon development of procedures and guidelines, all done by PetroVietnam. Completed so far are: • Draft Baseline Study • Draft HSE Procedures • Draft Accident/Incident Reporting Procedures
In addition, a workshop on HSE Data Control System has been carried out as well as one course of two planned courses.
d. Tsunami Risk Assessment and Mitigation in South and South East Asia- phase 2.
After the catastrophic tsunami that followed a large earthquake offshore Sumatra in December 2004 Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) have cooperated with CCOP and with CCOP Member Countries in tsunami related issues under the project “Tsunami risk reduction measures with focus on land use and rehabilitation” which was concluded in early 2006.
Phase 2 is a follow-up project to this activity. The project will last for two years. The main purposes of the project are: • To identify the tsunami risk to human life, property and infrastructure in the countries or areas to be included in the study. • If the risk is found unacceptable in the short, medium or long term, propose risk mitigation measures that are considered most viable in the local setting. Such risk mitigation measures may include awareness building, warning systems, emergency and evacuation plans, land use planning, and physical protection measures. Establishment of procedures for such risk management is considered vital for the long term planning of how the countries shall develop their coastline in the future. • Through workshops and seminars ensure transfer of knowledge and training in how to deal with the tsunami risk on central and local government levels.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 274 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 • To provide input to ADPC’s activities for deployment of warning systems in part of the region, especially with respect to optimizing locations of tidal gages and seismic stations.

Resource management The NPD has worked as an advisor to the Ministry/State Secretariat on an ad hoc basis on various energy issues. Activities within resource management included capacity building in the National Petroleum Authority (ANP), geological advisory services, field development advice and data management. Support was given to the review of the Greater Sunrise production strategy, field pipeline and field development options, as well as the concept evaluation for development of the Kitan field.
Activities within education and training included onsite geoscience training and English training. In addition support continued for degree studies at universities in Australia and Norway and a small grants programme for support to Timorese students in Indonesia.
Financial management During 2008 Norway has provided advice to the Government of Timor-Leste on issues related to management and investment strategy of the Petroleum Fund, macroeconomic and fiscal policy issues, budgeting issues and general petroleum revenue advice. Advisory services have included participation in meetings in the Petroleum Fund Investment Advisory Board.
Environmental management Assistance in environmental management is a new element in phase II of the programme. At year-end, Terms of Reference for a part-time environmental advisor was under preparation and workshops within Environmental management were under consideration.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 276 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009
Plans for 2009 Advisors will be provided to Dili within the fields of geoscience, IT, Human Resources, Production Sharing Contracts and technology. In addition technical and administrative assistance from the NPD in Norway (workshops on field development and data management) will be given.
The Project will provide advice on petroleum taxation issues, a topic which was also covered in phase I. It will continue to give advice on management and investment strategy of the Petroleum Fund through on-site advisors and to build local capacity and transfer knowledge on macroeconomic and fiscal policy as well as revenue management.

ANNUAL COOPERATING COUNTRY REPORT
Country: UNITED KINGDOM Period: 1 July 2008 - 30 June 2009
1. Summary From an international perspective this reporting year was one of reduced activity following the completion of projects in Madagascar and Ghana and the delivery of final products to clients. An EDF-funded geothematic project in Papua New Guinea (GEOMAP) successfully completed the mapping of the eastern half of the project area. Unfortunately another EDF-funded geological mapping project in Niger had to be abandoned because of security problems in the field area. A new project was begun to train geoscientists in geochemical exploration techniques at the Nigeria Geological Survey Agency; and in the UAE, continued mapping and geophysical surveys are progressing well. A minerals promotion project funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) was undertaken in Malawi and the products presented at the African Mining Indaba in Feb 2009.
2. Review of current technical activities and geoscience programmes in the CCOP Region (Multilateral or Bilateral) Under the current EDF-funded GEOMAP project, geological mapping and mineral potential assessment has progressed in the PNG Highlands with the completion of nine map- sheets at a scale of 1:100 000 in the eastern part of the project area. In addition, as part of a capacity building commitment, new thin-section and rock sampling laboratories were commissioned during 2009. Training in laboratory sampling and preparation techniques was provided in the UK for geoscientists from the PNG Geological Survey Division.
There are currently two projects taking place with Chinese collaboration under the Edinburgh Anisotropy Project (EAP), which is concerned with developing advanced seismic techniques to identify and characterise deep reservoirs for oil and gas. A new collaborative agreement was signed with PetroChina Daqing Oilfield Limited with a start date of January 2009. Two joint papers on the application of seismic anisotropy were published in conjunction with researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Beijing), the China University of Mineralogy and Technology (Jiangsu), and Tsinghua University (listed under Section 4).

During the reporting year research has been undertaken on behalf of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) on microbiological influences on the geological disposal of radio- active waste. In November 2008 BGS was invited to present a paper on microbes and radioactive waste at a two-day workshop organised at Tokai by the Nuclear Power Division
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 281 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 of the IHI Corporation on behalf of JAEA. Also in that month BGS was called upon to provide an International Expert for a four-day workshop organised by JAEA in Tokyo aimed at improving their Knowledge Management and reporting systems.
3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support of current and future activities The current EDF-funded GEOMAP project in PNG is due to run until 2011 and will involve the surveying of a further 12 map-sheets at a scale of 1:100 000.
BGS is currently pursuing a funding proposal to continue its research to resolve a long-standing debate on how deformation in large mountain belts occurs, focusing on south-eastern Tibet. If successful, the project will involve collaborators from the China University of Geosciences at Wuhan, and the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry.

ANNUAL COOPERATING ORGANIZATION REPORT
Organization: GETECH Period: 1 July 2007 – 30 June 2008
1. Summary GETECH continued to be very active in South East Asia during this period providing oil companies with Petroleum Systems studies and regional gravity and magnetic data. Most of the magnetic data we provide oil companies was compiled under a joint agreement with CCOP. The CCOP royalty for these magnetic data for the year period to September 2009 is ~£1,700, which compares to ~£24,000 for the same period last year. This decrease in royalties directly reflects low activity of oil companies resulting from low oil prices and the effects of the global financial crisis. This resulted in oil companies significantly reducing their spending from January 2009 onwards. Recently GETECH recruited Ian Lilly, who is based in Kuala Lumpur to act as our agent in the region. Currently we are finalising a new major study on the Structure and Tectonics (S&T) of SE Asia and have expanded our gravity database for the region which has had an important impact on mapping regional tectonic structures. Following the completion of the S&T study we intend to undertake a number of additional Petroleum Systems studies to the ones we have already completed for the region. GETECH’s aim is to generate closer links with National organisations in the region to further expand these studies.
2. Review of current technical activities and geoscience programmes in the CCOP Region (Multilateral or Bilateral) This reviews the data and studies that GETECH is involved with in SE Asia and includes the GETECH-CCOP magnetic data compilation. The magnetic database for SE Asia is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. GETECH-CCOP Magnetic compilation for SE Asia (excluding Gulf of Thailand Survey shown in green)
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 291 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 In addition GETECH has significantly improved the offshore satellite altimeter derived gravity field of SE Asia by combining (stacking) the two public domain solutions with the GETECH solution. The new gravity model is known as TRIDENT. Onshore we have improved the resolution of the gravity coverage by integrating newly available data in the region.
The magnetic and gravity data have been used in the five completed Petroleum Systems studies shown in Figure 2. GETECH's portfolio of Petroleum Systems and Geophysical studies in SE Asia are designed to address the critical issues of regional and basin-scale exploration. They utilise, as necessary, the disciplines of geophysics, structural analysis, tectonics, stratigraphy, palaeogeography, sedimentology, drainage analysis, geochemistry, petroleum geology and GIS.
Figure 2. Petroleum systems studies currently available

3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support to current and future activities A major new SE Asia study currently underway is the Structure and Tectonics of Southeast Asia. The study area is shown in Figure 3 and is re-evaluating the structure and plate tectonics based on the gravity and magnetic database that GETECH holds. The study is not a review of previous studies but significantly modifies the tectonic relationships based on the potential field and available geological data.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 292 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009
Figure 3. Study area of the Structure and Tectonics of South East Asia
The study integrates two technical approaches: • Structural mapping: ground-truthing of current interpretations; new interpretations from remote sensing imagery and potential field data; 2D gravity and magnetic profile modelling to accurately identify the limit of unstretched continental plates. • Plate modelling: a new PaleoGIS plate tectonic model utilising the results of the structural mapping to quantify plate motions and constrain basin evolution.
The Southeast Asia study incorporates: Irian Jaya in the southeast to the Andaman Islands in the west and the Yangtze River to the north. This scope of study has not been attempted previously, either at this scale, level of detail, or by utilising such comprehensive and continuous gravity, magnetic and topographic datasets.
This study is part of GETECH’s global series of Structure and Tectonics studies that reevaluate the fundamental structural and tectonic framework that underpins oil and gas exploration. The studies are based on Landsat imagery, radar topography data and GETECH’s best available gravity and magnetic data. The ultimate goal is a series of detailed, kinematically realistic, structural maps and an original global plate tectonic model. Some key issues addressed in the study include: • Redefinition of the major structural and tectonic elements; • Plate boundary definition and crustal characterization; • Basin definition and geometry; • Modern day tectonophysiographic terrains and depositional systems: better understanding the link between tectonics and landscape.
GETECH recently visited Bandung, Indonesia and initiated links with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Geological Agency and the Geological Survey Institute (formerly known as GRDC) and is in the process of establishing bilateral agreements to undertake new geophysical studies and establish links with our Petroleum Systems studies similar to those shown in Figure 2.

ANNUAL COOPERATING ORGANIZATION REPORT
Organization: IYPE Period: 1 July 2008 - 30 June 2009
1. Summary IYPE was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly for 2008 and the IYPE Corporation extended it to be a triennium event 2007-2009. CCOP is an Associate Member of IYPE and it was recognized in late 2007 as the only regional committee amongst the 80 national committees. CCOP Member Countries individually has their own national committees and they have organized meaningful science and outreach activities in support of IYPE. CCOP as a regional intergovernmental geoscience organization lends strong support for IYPE and it is on the permanent agenda of the Organization’s Steering Committee Meetings and Annual Sessions during the triennium. CCOP recognized the achievement of the IYPE objectives through the organization of impressive lists of science, outreach and promotional activities. In support of IYPE, CCOP has published a book entitled “Geoheritage of East and Southeast Asia” in October 2008 to mark the Planet Earth Year. Another CCOP book entitled “Role of Geoscience in Governance for Sustainable Development and Human Security” dedicated to IYPE was also published in 2008. A third book on the “Geological Museums of East and Southeast Asia” to be published in 2009 is under preparation. CCOP’s participation in the OneGeology project had proven the strength and purpose of a regional geoscience organization in being able to supply a digitally compiled map of the entire region, an earlier joint effort of its 12 Member Countries, to OneGeology. The decision made during GEOSEA 2009 by the 4 founding member countries to expand GEOSEA membership to all the countries in Southeast Asia is aimed to contribute to the integration of geoscience, an initiative strongly advocated by IYPE. Building on the IYPE legacy, CCOP welcomes the various initiatives proposed after the successful triennium.
2. Review of current technical activities and geoscience programmes in the CCOP Region (Multilateral or Bilateral) The IYPE triennium event is being celebrated by more than 80 nations around the globe, including most of the CCOP Member Countries. This year’s report to the 46th CCOP Annual Session coincides with the third and final year of IYPE. IYPE is pleased to be associated with and supported by CCOP, an important regional intergovernmental geoscience organization comprising 12 Member Countries in the East and Southeast Region. CCOP is the unique regional geoscience body that lends strong support to the programmes and activities through the sole IYPE Regional Committee. Its Member Countries individually have also played their active role in forming National Committees and organizing various science and outreach activities. CCOP was first recognized as an Associate Member of IYPE in early 2007 and the CCOP Regional Committee was accepted by IYPE in late 2007.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 297 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 Activities Apart from a long list of national and international events dedicated to the IYPE in 2008 and 2009 details of which could be viewed in the IYPE website, some of activities that are of greater general interest are listed below: - The IYPE website registered 5.2 million hits in 2008. - Continuation of the OneGeology Initiative. - UNESCO Initiative for Earth Science Education in Africa 2008- 4 workshops to be held in 2009. - Publication of two editions of IYPE Planet Earth Book in 2009. - Questionnaires on views about the future and a self-evaluation of past activities in 2009: 52 out of 80 questionnaires returned. - Planetearth Radio (USA) and Planetearth TV (TVPE) initiatives. - A set of 10 state-of-the-art scientific books, will be published by Springer Verlag as an IYPE legacy.
Closure of IYPE Four major international events celebrating the closure of the IYPE triennium are planned for the last quarter of 2009 1) The Geological Society of America (GSA) will hold its third Annual Meeting dedicated to the IYPE, in Portland (Oregon, USA), 18 to 21 October 2009. 2) Young Earth Scientist (YES) first international Congress, 25-28 October 2009 in Beijing, China. 3) The Annual AGU Fall meeting in San Francisco, 14-18 December 2009 will include a Union Session on the IYPE, entitled ‘The Fruits of IYPE - Implementing Long-Term Activities’. 4) The Planet Earth Lisbon 2009 event, 20-21 November, 2009 will highlight the results of the International Year of Planet Earth during the 2007-2009 trienniums and will look ahead concerning new initiatives built on the IYPE legacy. Leaders of national committees and 2 selected students from each country will be sponsored by IYPE to attend the Event.
IYPE in the CCOP Region In the CCOP region, many interesting IYPE activities were held. Activities of CCOP Member Countries National Committees are reported in their respective country reports to the 46th CCOP Annual Session. One of the most significant contributions by CCOP in outreach is the publication of the book “Geoheritage of East and Southeast Asia”. Another CCOP book entitled “Role of Geoscience in Governance for Sustainable Development and Human Security” was also published and dedicated to IYPE. CCOP is also in the process of preparing for publication before the end of 2009 another book entitled “Geological Museums in East and Southeast Asia”. Several Member Countries have on their own published books and brochures dedicated to IYPE.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 298 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 The CCOP contribution to OneGeology map project has proven the strength and purpose of a regional organization in which a single contribution for all the Member Countries under CCOP to the project has eliminated much of the coordination, communication, technical harmonization, standardization, language, coverage issues for a region that covers 1/10 of the globe. The Regional Congress on the Geology and Mineral Resources of Southeast Asia, GEOSEA 2009 was organized on 8-10 June 2009 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to mark the successful conclusion of IYPE by the Malaysian IYPE National Committee. One of the landmark decisions by the four founding countries of GEOSEA, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand was to expand GEOSEA membership to all the countries of Southeast Asia. Malaysia offered to host the permanent secretariat for GEOSEA for the initial years of the expanded organization. This is a big step forward in the integration of geoscience in the region.
3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support to current and future activities The future after the successful triennium was discussed at many form including IYPE national committees and the IYPE Board. For example, the special national committee meeting held in Kuala Lumpur in conjunction with GEOSEA 2009 had a good exchange of ideas on the topic. Taking into consideration all the ideas, the IYPE Board at its meeting on 26 January 2009 held in London, UK, agreed to explore options for creating a World Geoscience Forum and for a global platform to advocate and represent environmental (geo)science contributions to society, to evaluate the impact of the National IYPE Committees in their countries and their ideas for prolonged existence, to collect global support for the Young Earth Scientist (Y.E.S.) initiative and to explore options for a global and self- supporting outreach initiative on Planet Earth. Through a questionnaire, most of the national IYPE committees expressed support for a follow-on initiative under an international umbrella in particular if some foreign support would be provided. Moreover, IYPE will support the Y.E.S. initiative by providing free travel grants to young professionals from developing countries to participate in the Y.E.S. Congress in Beijing. A first brainstorming meeting on developing a world-class science project with a distinctive public dimension was held on 16 July in London, UK and a next meeting on this issue is scheduled for October in the USA. Finally, the outlines for a new outreach initiative building on the IYPE legacy are being developed and will be made public in November at Planet Earth Lisbon 2009.

ANNUAL COOPERATING ORGANIZATION REPORT
Organization: PETRAD Period: 1 July 2008 - 30 September 2009
1. History
Dr. Oystein Berg, was invited by CCOP/ASCOPE in March 1984 to lecture on R&D in Offshore Safety at a seminar arranged at Pertamina in Jakarta. During this seminar he was asked by Mr. Warga Dalem, then Secretary-in-Charge of ASCOPE, if he could assist ASCOPE in arranging courses and seminars on Offshore Safety and Environment. Dr. Berg was at the time Director of Marine Technology at the Safety Division of the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. This also became the start of the cooperation between ASCOPE and CCOP through the activities arranged by Dr. Berg. Numerous activities were conducted together until Petrad - International Programme for Petroleum Management and Administration was established on 1 January, 1989. Petrad is a Norwegian Government Foundation established by Norad - Norwegian International Agency for Development Cooperation and the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate to coordinate and facilitate sharing of knowledge and experience within the Petroleum Sector. This is done through tailor- made courses, seminars and projects in cooperation with Government Institutions and National Oil Companies in developing and industrializing countries. A total of 14,500 managers and experts from 98 countries have participated in the Petrad programs so far. Experts and lecturers for the various activities come mainly from the Norwegian Petroleum Authorities, Norwegian and International Petroleum Industry, Universities and R&D Institutions. However, a large number of international lecturers have also made their contributions. Petrad draws each year on the expertise of approximately 200 lecturers from more than 150 government agencies, companies and organizations. Petrad has conducted a total of 182 courses and seminars together with ASCOPE and CCOP Member Countries with a total of nearly 8,000 participants as of September 2009. Petrad has in addition had 176 participants from the region attending the 8-week courses held in Stavanger, Norway, every year since 1991. Most of these participants have received scholarships worth approximately USD 25,000 each. These scholarships have been made available through Norad and the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. Petrad also arranged EPF/94 - Exploration Promotion Forum in conjunction with the World Petroleum Congress in Stavanger, Norway, in June 1994. This was a great success. Petrad sponsored on this occasion 26 experts from 6 ASCOPE and CCOP Members. Petrad together with the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate also assisted ASCOPE/CCOP with the arrangement of another EPF in August 2002 in conjunction with ONS - Offshore Northern Seas Exhibition and Conference. The Official Delegation consisted of 25 persons. In addition there were another 25 representatives from ASCOPE/CCOP Members who participated in the ONS-EPF. Petrad has in all the years since the cooperation with ASCOPE and CCOP started had large number of requests for tailor-made courses and seminars.
Proceedings of the 46th CCOP Annual Session 303 CCOP Technical Secretariat Vung tau, Vietnam, 18-23 October 2009 Petrad has with very limited financial support from the Norwegian Government (Ministry of Petroleum and Energy Funding) tried its best to keep up the cooperation with CCOP and ASCOPE and its Members. This has been possible because many of the speakers used by Petrad who come from Norwegian Petroleum Authorities and Petroleum Industry, have been willing to assist on courses and seminars without any charge for time and have in very many cases also covered their own cost for travel and accommodation. . All logistics and practical administration for the Petrad seminars in East and Southeast Asia is done by CCOP TS in Bangkok in cooperation with the host organization.
2. Petrad activities with ASCOPE and CCOP Members in the period July 2008 - September 2009

3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support of current and future activities It should be noted that all Petrad - CCOP/ASCOPE Workshops and Seminars are tailor-made on request only. This means that the Members of CCOP and ASCOPE must forward their requests for seminars either through the CCOP and ASCOPE Secretariats or directly to Petrad. The workshops and seminars are conducted on a cost sharing basis where Petrad takes care of the expenses for the speakers from Norway and own administration whilst the local host takes care of the expenses for the venue and own administration. Participants cover their own cost. There is no seminar fee.
The Members of CCOP and ASCOPE are therefore requested to propose new topics for courses and seminars for 2010.
4. Reports/publications of Petrad activities for dissemination to CCOP and ASCOPE Members All reports from previous Petrad seminars in East and Southeast Asia are available through the CCOP Technical Secretariat in Bangkok.
5. Others Petrad is most grateful for the excellent cooperation with CCOP TS and CCOP Members since 1984 and hope that this cooperation can continue in the future.
