ABSTRACT

Tanjung Formation in Barito Basin, South Kalimantan there have been oil and gas
exploration since colonial era. It resulted many publication about Barito Basin. The
publication discuss about depositional environtment and facies in Tanjung Formation. There
are many differences about depositional environmet and facies that caused by a wide variety
of data from sudface mapping and wireline log.
The objective of the research is to knowing litology caracterization in Tanjung
Formation so the depotitional environment and facies can be known. The litology
caracterization based on wireline log data and sidewall core that validated by the data of
drilling mud and fossil data from drilling report.
The research used descriptive method that derived from case study and literature from
previous study, The analytical which do litology determination and direct intepretation from
well log data and side wall core data. The well log data that has been intepreted to be
validated with the drilling mud data. It will be corelated with the well data in around to result
the electrofacies intepretation. Description of side wall core have been done to determine in
detail about litology in Tanjung formation to resulted litofacies, while the foraminifera fossil
data would support the intepretation of depotitional enfironment in Tanjung Formation.
The result of descriptive method is to knowing the morphology before depositional in
Tanjung Formation. Before the material sediments filling the basin, there is a widening of the
continent that produce the elevation that resulted the differences of sedimentation in some
wells. Analysis method shows that the dominant litology in Tanjung Formation are sandstone,
mudstone with inset coal, limestone and conglomerate. The depositional environment ranging
from alluvial fan, meandering river, estuarine until shelf. System track that occur in this area
ranging from lowstand system track (LST), trangresive system track (TST), and highstand
system track (HST).
