SE Asian current tectonic setting and Cuu Long Basin (Pham et al., 2006)
Tectonic setting of
the SE Asia:
Phase 1
(subduction):
from Late Jurassic
to Early
Cretaceous
Phase 2
(transitional):
from late
Cretaceous to
Paleogene
Phase 3 (regional
extension): from
Eocene to Recent
The collision between Indian and Eurasian plates severely deformed much of Southeast Asia
and made it extruded to the SE direction during the Early Tertiary

a. Late Triassic-Late Cretaceous: The intrusive movements created a highly intense conjugate
fracture and fault system, along which various high temperature minerals (metal sulfide,
laumontite, analcime, quartz, calcite) were precipitated.
b. Late Cretaceous-Eocene: Tectonic processes in this period start to lift up and deform the
basement rocks. Many faults, associated fractures, and breccias were formed, together with new
dykes along weakened zones. Weathering processes began and gradually eroded the overlying
metasedimentary suite.
c. Eocene-Early Oligocene: Rifting in the Eocene uplifted the basement blocks to the surface.
These basement blocks were strongly weathered and eroded, creating a weathered layer
capping the fractured basement. In the upper parts, weathering process enhanced considerably
reservoir quality by cracking rocks and dissolving unstable minerals. In the lower parts, fine
materials of weathering together with secondary minerals of hydrothermal process continued to
plug fractures and pores.
d. Late Oligocene: basement was uplifted again by compression by early Late Oligocene.
Basement rocks were strongly deformed as a large displacement (~2000m) reverse fault that was
created along with new associated faults, fractures and breccias. In the uplifted highs, rocks were
continuously weathered. Together these two processes made basement rocks into a potential
reservoir.
e. Miocene-present: The early migration of oil into the basement started in the Miocene,
preserving porosity that was created in previous periods.
Tra Tan Formation (E, D and C sequences) in Oligocene: Subsidence outpaces sediment supply,
long-lived lake sites develop where sub-basins were structurally closed and rainfall was sufficient. The predominant
lacustrine sediments consist of a clastic continental succession of interbedded sandstone and shales, organic rich
claystone and minor siltstone. The grains are poorly sorted, angular to sub-angular shaped indicating short transportation
distance from source area.
Bach Ho Formation (BI sequence) in Early Miocene: The late post-rift thermal subsidence phase is
characterized by low topographic relief as the last of the rift shoulders became buried. The sedimentary section was
dominated by low gradient fluvial or near shore marine/ lake processes depending on basin configuration and eustatic
sea level. This phase of sedimentation is by sequence BI fluvial and fluvial/deltaic fine grained sands and shales. The
top of BI sequence represents a major marine transgressive event that deposited a thick, generally shale prone section,
which acts as a major regional top seal.
Conson Formation (BII sequence) in Middle Miocene: The Con Son formation comprises thick
sandstone interbedded with thin reddish claystone with very gray claystone, very thin greenish gray (from 1800m) and
minor coal, limestone/dolomite stringers. The reddish claystone dominates the upper section and decreases with depth.
On the other hand, the proportion of greenish gray claystone increases with depth.
Dongnai Formation (BIII sequence) in Late Miocene: This formation comprises predominantly
sandstone with thin reddish claystone, very thin gray claystone, siltstone and dolomitic limestone, coal/lignite stringers.
Bien Dong Formation (A sequence) in Quarternary: Bien Dong formation comprises very thick
unconsolidated sand and sandstone interbedded with thin gray, very thin reddish clay/claystone and limestone, dolomitic
limestone, coal/lignite stringers.
Seal 01 : D Sequence, Middle Tra Tan Formation (Middle Oligocene): The D sequence
(known as D shale) is widely distributed across the basin with thickness varying from 300m over the structural highs and up
to a thousand of meters in the central basin.
Reservoir 02: D & C Sequence, Middle & Upper Tra Tan Formation (Late Oligocene):
The Late Oligocene reservoirs can be divided into D and C based on their distribution and facies characteristics. These
sandstone reservoirs were deposited on lake shorelines, fluvial and alluvial environments. Thickness of the reservoir
sandstones vary from a few meters to 30 m. They can be of good quality with total porosity varying from 14-21% and
permeability ranges from 0.1 to 60md.
Seal 02 : BII Sequence, Upper Bach Ho Formation (Early Miocene): The Bach ho shale or
Rotalia shale is a regional marine transgressive shale found on top of the Early Miocene reservoirs. It is the youngest known
regional seal in the basin. The total thickness of this shale is about 200 to 700m, with maximum thickness up to 1,250m. It
is known as an effective seal for the whole Cuu long basin. In addition, local shale layers could act as intra-formational
seals. .
Reservoir 03: BI sequence, Lower Bach Ho Formation (Early Miocene): The last reservoir is
Bach Ho formation, it is widely distributed throughout the Cuu long basin and represents the final marine transgression.
The sequence was deposited in fluvial, coastal plain and shallow lacustrine/marine environment. Thickness of the
sandstones varies from a few meters to 20 meters. The reservoirs can have good quality with 16-25% of porosity and 15000md of permeability
