Abstract

Rembang Madura Kangean Sakala (RMKS) fault zone and W-E structures of Kendeng Zone are the main structural elements in back arc basin, East Java, Indonesia. There are many perspectives about the overpressure zone at the basin. This research focus on the overpressure zone that related with formation and tectonic evolution. The study infer that high overpressure is explained by regional and local mechanisms. The results of analysis of log derived porosities at Karang Mudi-1 (KM-1) well indicate that high overpressure and overpressure was Neogen Formation (Mundu, Wonocolo, Ngrayong). Pore pressure prediction at KM-1 exerted Eaton’s method. There are two overpressure zones at depth 2.680 – 4.900 fTVD (B Zone) and 5.600 – 8.400 fTVD (D Zone). High overpressure D Zone are regionally caused by flexural structure (anticline and fracture) from transpression setting (West – East RMKS). High overpressure in KM-1 is transpression setting early which the overpressure follow the pop-up boundary. Area of high overpressure always related with fault thrust. Static mechanism is possible in the present day interplate stress field. Present the maximum horizontal stress was NEE – SWW. Local mechanisms occurs illitization at D zone from depth 6.800 – 8.400 fTVD. D Zone is unloading mechanism (illitization and lateral transfer open fracture).

Highlights

  • Area of the active margin has specific tectonic and sediment characterization that generate a unique overpressure zone

  • This paper describes regional stress, regional geology, distribution of overpressure, and the seismic around Karang Mudi-1 (KM-1) well

  • The western part of East Java Basin has a structure with NEESWW direction and the eastern part has an E-W structure

Summary

Introduction

Area of the active margin has specific tectonic and sediment characterization that generate a unique overpressure zone. This zone is influenced by the history of tectonic evolution. The East Java Basin is an active sedimentary basin that has several high, normal, low overpressure zones [1]. The tectonic and active sedimentary related with overpressure. In case of the Watukosek fault [2] and the basement configuration appears to control the presence of overpressure [3]. Overpressure mechanisms include loading, unloading and tectonic control mechanisms
