INTRODUCTION
Sedimentation in Malay Basin is very
much influenced by channel deposits
Sepat Field located in block PM313
A gas producing field
Located at central axial part of Malay
Basin
Most of the published study done on this
field focuses on gas seepage and reservoir
characterization
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Sepat Field is masked by gas cloud formation that leads to gas seepage
Structural evolution can be divided into three tectono stratigraphic phases (Tjia,
1994):
Thermal subsidence which took place from Early Miocene to Middle Miocene -
Sediment accumulation was mainly paralic sediments, consisting mainly of coastal plain
sands, muds, and coals with interbedded transgressive marine muds (Group J H)
CONTINUE
Compression stage which happened from Late Miocene to Pliocene Sediment
deposition was mainly within coastal plain to shallow marine environment consisting
of Group F A (Madon, 1999)
Malay basin experienced inversion during the Middle to Late Miocene happened
during the compression stage
Structural evidence - compressional anticlines, inverted and uplifted half graben and
reverse throws on the half graben normal faults

Log Motif Analysis
Similarities:
a) Meandering channels and a straight
channel are observed
b) Oxbow lake and point bars are
observed
Differences:
a) Channels shape are more defined in
spectral decomposition than variance
Channel Direction:
NW SE, NE SW, N - S

Similarities:
a) Meandering channels and straight channels are
observed
Differences:
a) Frequency decomposition showed different
shape of channel that was initially traced in
variance attribute
b) A channel flowing from NE to SW was traced in
variance but not obvious in spectral
decomposition
Channel Direction:
NW SE and N S

arrangements detected

a) Hook channel: l = 10.34km, d=1.39km, w=0.65km (deeply incised valley at the NE of Sepat
field)
b) Others: mostly long with shallow depth varies in width and length
Sediment flow: Thailand highland (2500m) and Eastern Mountain (800m) from Peninsular
Malaysia
The hook shaped river have a high possibility to be a part of the major trunk river, the Chao
Phraya Johore River
RECOMMENDATION
Geobody technique for extraction of fluvial body
Complete sequence stratigraphy study using seismic data, well log data
and core log data to aid in a better developed of depositional
environment
