The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) revealed the potential of oil and gas in Arafura Waters, Papua. This is a temporary result of the Center for Marine Geology Research and Development (P3GL) Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Research and Development Agency. The study used a research vessel Geomarin III in Arafura Waters from 21 August to 20 September.
Head of P3GL Ediar Usman said the Geomarin ship belonging to the ESDM Ministry is equipped with 2D seismic equipment, marine gravity meter and geomagnet. He mentioned that there is no research vessel in Indonesia equipped with similar equipment. The tools to determine the model and dimensions of oil and gas basin. Delineation of basins with gravity meter method combined with geomagnet can determine the level of prospect of a basin of oil and gas.
"The output of survey activities will be presented in complete reporting with seismic maps and atlas recordings," Ediar said after the Openship and Business Partner Meeting of Geomarin III Research Vessel at Tenau Port, Kupang, Friday (22/9).
The event was attended by Secretary General of the National Energy Council (DEN) Saleh Abdurrahman, two DEN members Syamsir Abduh and Pudji Utoro, as well as businessmen.
Ediar describes the length of the survey path in the Arafura Sea that is 1,300 kilometers (km), gravity meter and geomagnet 1,700 km. Seawater sampling with gravity corer at 28 points with a maximum length of sample of 2.6 meters. Based on research results, Arafura waters at the beginning of Quaternary is a swamp area.
This is indicated by a sample of seabed that contains organic carbon elements. The interpretation of the gravity meter and geomagnet shows evidence of a dense Akimegah basin that is thickening inland to Papua in the north.

Perairan Arfura Miliki Potensi Migas
Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) mengungkapkan adanya potensi minyak dan gas bumi di Perairan Arafura, Papua. Hal ini merupakan hasil sementara dari Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Geologi Kelautan (P3GL) Badan Litbang Kementerian ESDM. Penelitian itu menggunakan kapal riset Geomarin III di Perairan Arafura sejak 21 Agustus hingga 20 September.
Kepala P3GL Ediar Usman mengatakan, kapal Geomarin milik Kementerian ESDM itu dilengkapi peralatan seismik 2D, marin gravity meter dan geomagnet. Dia menyebut belum ada kapal riset di Indonesia yang dilengkapi dengan peralatan sejenis. Alat-alat tersebut untuk menentukan model dan dimensi cekungan migas. Deleniasi cekungan dengan metode gravity meter yang dikombinasikan dengan geomagnet dapat menentukan tingkat keprospekan suatu cekungan migas.
“Output kegiatan survei akan disajikan dalam pelaporan lengkap dengan peta dan atlas rekaman seismik,” kata Ediar usai acara Openship dan Temu Mitra Bisnis Kapal Riset Geomarin III di Pelabuhan Tenau, Kupang, Jumat (22/ 9).
Dalam acara tersebut dihadiri juga oleh Sekretaris Jenderal Dewan Energi Nasional (DEN) Saleh Abdurrahman, dua anggota DEN yakni Syamsir Abduh dan Pudji Utoro, serta pelaku bisnis.
Ediar menerangkan panjang lintasan survei di Laut Arafura yakni seismik 1.300 kilometer (km), gravity meter dan geomagnet masing-masing 1.700 km. Pengambilan sampel dasar laut dengan gravity corer di 28 titik dengan panjang maksimal sampel 2,6 meter. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, perairan Arafura pada awal Kuarter merupakan daerah rawa.
Ini ditunjukkan oleh sampel dasar laut yang mengandung unsur organic carbon. Penafsiran gravity meter dan geomagnet menunjukkan bukti adanya cekungan Akimegah yang menebal ke arah daratan Papua di sebelah utara.
