  • Dossier on the Adani Group's Environmental and Social Record
    Dossier on the Adani Group’s environmental and social record Construction of Adani’s Godda power station proceeds on lands acquired from indigenous (Adivasi) farmers near Godda. Two Adivasi look on. Photo by Geoff Law, February 2020 Preliminary Edition, September 2020 Preamble AdaniWatch is a non-profit project established by the Bob Brown Foundation to shine a light on the Adani Group’s misdeeds across the planet. In Australia, Adani is best known as the company behind the proposed Carmichael coal mine in Queensland. However, the Adani Group is a conglomeration of companies engaged in a vast array of businesses, including coal-fired power stations, ports, palm oil, airports, defence industries, solar power, real estate and gas. The group’s founder and chairman, Gautam Adani, has been described as India’s second-richest man and is a close associate of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Adani Group is active in several countries but particularly in India, where accusations of corruption and environmental destruction have dogged its rise to power. In central India, Adani intends to strip mine ancestral lands belonging to the indigenous Gond people. Large tracts of biodiverse forest, including elephant habitat, are in the firing line. Around the coastline of India, Adani’s plans to massively expand its ports are generating outcry from fishing villages and conservationists. In the country’s east, Adani is building a thermal power station designed to burn coal from Queensland and sell expensive power to neighbouring Bangladesh. Investigations, court actions and allegations of impropriety have accompanied Adani’s progress in many of these business schemes.

  • Seeking the State from the Margins: from Tidung Lands to Borderlands in Borneo
    Seeking the state from the margins From Tidung Lands to borderlands in Borneo Nathan Bond ORCID ID: 0000-0002-8094-9173 A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. December 2020 School of Social and Political Sciences The University of Melbourne i Abstract Scholarship on the geographic margins of the state has long suggested that life in such spaces threatens national state-building by transgressing state order. Recently, however, scholars have begun to nuance this view by exploring how marginal peoples often embrace the nation and the state. In this thesis, I bridge these two approaches by exploring how borderland peoples, as exemplars of marginal peoples, seek the state from the margins. I explore this issue by presenting the first extended ethnography of the cross-border ethnic Tidung and neighbouring peoples in the Tidung Lands of northeast Borneo, complementing long-term fieldwork with research in Dutch and British archives. This region, lying at the interstices of Indonesian Kalimantan, Malaysian Sabah and the Southern Philippines, is an ideal site from which to study borderland dynamics and how people have come to seek the state. I analyse understandings of the state, and practical consequences of those understandings in the lives and thought of people in the Tidung Lands. I argue that people who imagine themselves as occupying a marginal place in the national order of things often seek to deepen, rather than resist, relations with the nation-states to which they are marginal. The core contribution of the thesis consists in drawing empirical and theoretical attention to the under-researched issue of seeking the state and thereby encouraging further inquiry into this issue.

  • Undiscovered Petroleum Resources of Indonesia by John Kingston
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Undiscovered Petroleum Resources of Indonesia by John Kingston Open-File Report 88-379 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature 1988 ASSESSMENT OF RECOVERABLE ENERGY RESOURCES The World Energy Resources Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Intends to develop reliable and credible estimates of undiscovered recoverable petroleum resources throughout the world. Initial program efforts have focused on the major producing areas of the world to gain a broad geological understanding of the characteristics of petroleum occurrence for purposes of resource assessment, as well as for analysis of production potential. Investigations of production potential are carried out In cooperation with other U.S. Government agencies; specifically, the studies of the main free world exporting nations, of which this study Is a part, are carried out In cooperation with the Foreign Energy Supply Assessment Program of the Department of Energy. The estimates represent the views of a U.S. Geological Survey study team and should not be regarded as an official position of the U.S. Government. The program seeks to Investigate resource potential at the basin level, primarily through analogy with other petroleum regions, and does not necessarily require, therefore, current exploration Information that Is commonly held proprietary. In conducting the geological Investigations, we Intend to build a support base of publicly available data and regional geologic synthesis against which to measure the progress of exploration and thereby validate the assessment. Most of these Investigations will lead directly to quantitative resource assessments; resource assessment, like exploration, to be effective, must be an ongoing process taking advantage of changing Ideas and data availability the results produced being progress reports reflecting on a state of knowledge at a point In time.

The data were analyzed interactively including data reduction, data display, and verification.In the development, Tidung people in some areas such as in Tarakan are classified as developed; whereas, in other area such as Nunukan, they are classified as people with modest living. The simplicity of Tidung people in Nunukan regency is reflected in their cultural orientation for a homely life. In religious life, Tidung older generation is classified as pluralistic Islam while the young generation tries to release themselves from pluralism in their religion.In this reformation era, the awareness of strengthening political identity is appeared as indicated by the emergence of “Pan Dayak” that reflects brotherhood between the Dayak and Tidung people in PUSAKA (The Association of Kalimantan Natives) organization. The spirit of political identity renaissance should be observed, because Nunukan regency is a pluralistic area especially for the Bugis who control the area, economically and politically.

  • Tarakan Basin, NE Kalimantan, Indonesia: a Century of Exploration and Future Potential
    GeologicaL Society of Ma/nyJw - Circum-Pacific COlil/cil for Energy and "'lintraL &Jowm Tectonic Framework and Energy &!OIlmJ of the WeJtern Margin of the Pacific BaJin November 27 - December 2, 1992, Kuala Ltunpur, Ma/nYJw Tarakan Basin, NE Kalimantan, Indonesia: a century of exploration and future potential A.W.R. WIGHT\ L.R. HARE2 AND J.R. REYNOLDS2 1 Petrocorp Exploration Indonesia Ltd_ 2Sceptre Resources Indonesia Abstract: Nearly a century of exploration in the Tarakan Basin of NE Kalimantan, Indonesia, has yielded four major oilfields, with a total cumulative production to end-1986 of 312 MMBO (million barrels of oil), plus one large gas field and five minor oil accumulations. Reserves reside mainly in stacked, predominantly fluviatile, thick sandstone reservoirs of Pliocene and Pleistocene ages. Multiple reservoirs (up to 90 zones) also occur within shallow marine sandstones of Upper Miocene to Pliocene age Traps are primarily downthrown, independently-closed, roughly north-trending anticlines, ranging between 960 and 2600 acres. Most major accumulations are located on Tarakan and Bunyu islands, with only one on the mainland but as yet none offshore. Over 86% of produced reserves had been discovered prior to 1923 (pamusian, 1901; Bunyu, 1923). Both structures were easily identified by their surface expressions and oil seeps. Recent exploration (post 1970), with over 30 exploration wells drilled onshore and 16 offshore, added the medium-sized Sembakung oil field and the large Bunyu Tapa gasfield. The lack of success offshore is largely attributable to the rarity of sufficiently large, independently-closed structures at shallow depths, within the Plio-Pleistocene sand-prone levels so productive in the largest onshore fields.

First, it analyzes existing trade patterns and competitive advantages of Sabah and North Kalimantan, as well as government objectives in promoting cross-border commercial activities. Second, it proposes a border economic area spread over a wide geographic area that covers a network of interrelated activities. The resulting program provides a fully integrated approach to the border economic area design and implementation. Third, it identifies potential cross-border value chains that can serve as high-profile, demonstrable projects for the border economic area. Fourth, it determines the preference orderings of project features by key stakeholders such as government and development partners, commercial entities, and the local population. Fifth, it estimates the net monetary returns for the project portfolio, ranks stakeholders’ non-monetary preferences, and incorporates the latter results into the project portfolio’s net monetary returns. And, sixth, it provides an overall program appraisal for the set of projects, including an impact analysis of connectivity options.
