 Kamundan block is Pertamina own operation area located to the north of Wiriagar Deep and proved the presence of gas bearing in Paleocene turbidite Previous HitsequenceNext Hit. Previous HitSeismicNext Hit acquisition and drilling have proved the economic significance of these discoveries containing about 9 TCF of dry gas. As a frontier area in which data is limited, an integrated modelling acoustic impedance and Previous HitseismicNext Hit facies are aplied to identify reservoir distribution in paleocene turbidite laterally.

Regionally the prospect located in low area whereas the two wells as references Tarof-2 and Ayot-2 lies in high domain. Data obtained from Well corellation only an age of the lithology without knowing their distribution in low area.

The method used to overcome this problem are modelling acoustic impedance and Previous HitseismicNext Hit facies analyses. Sparse spike inversion is done using 2D Previous HitseismicNext Hit data tie in with Wiriagar Deep-1 well. This well is chosen due to its position and has a complete Previous HitsequenceNext Hit from Mezosoic through Cenozoic. Facies analyses is done by determining a Previous HitsequenceNext Hit characteristic in which present from Previous HitseismicNext Hit section and used to control the interpretation of Acoustic Impedance data.

Previous HitSeismicNext Hit facies analyses carried out in this domain shows two type of Previous HitsequenceNext Hit i.e. mounded interpreted as fan system and sigmoid in which indicate a channel fill. Acoustic impedance data shows a low impedance value, equivalent with high porosity, in mounded and sigmoid types in which represent a sandstone distribution in fan and channel systems. In Wiriagar deep this Previous HitsequenceTop is interpreted as basin floor fan from turbidite system and proven as a good reservoir for hydrocarbon. The same exploration play concept identified in Kamundan Block although the reservoir is not as thick as in Wiriagar area. Integrating this two method are found useful in terms of enhance the resolution and confident level to generate new prospect for exploration campaign.
