Exploration play concepts in Indonesia

Indonesia's complex array of hydrocarbon-bearing situations consists of a major oil and gas province where commerical production dates from 1885. Discovered reserves are discussed in terms of prospect concepts (exploration plays), a categorized integration of source, reservoir, and trap requirements. Functional stratigraphic and tectonic factors are thereby directly related to various plays, and these to quantity and quality of oil and gas discovered. Recent exploration efforts are designed to fully assess Indonesia's petroleum potential within a climate determined by integrated national aims. (17 refs.)
