ABSTRACT

Asri Basin located in South East Sumatra as the focus of the research. This
study is to analyze the characteriztic and quality of oil and to correlate the oil to
stratigraphy using hydrocarbon geochemistry and gas chromatography massspectrometry data. The characteristization of oil in the research area has a
depositional of shale source rock in oxic and anoxic marine. The study was
conducted to determine the characteristics, quality, and correlation of petroleum by
using geochemical analysis of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon geochemical analysis
performed quantitatively and qualitatively using gas chromatography and mass
spectrometry chromatography. Qualitative and quantitative data used is the ratio
parameter biomarkers. The characteristics of the studied petroleum derived from
shale source rock in shallow marine depositional environment to the terrestrial. Type
kerogen is lacustrine algal type (type I). The maturity level is mature. By the
characterization of oils, showing that the oils in the research area shows that oils
come from the same reservoir rock formation in Asri Basin, South East Sumatra.
