Flood Disaster Prediction Model Using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) in Pekalongan, Central Java.
Pekalongan is located in the northern part of Java Island, directly adjacent to the sea in the north. Natural disasters that often occur in Pekalongan are floods, especially in the north of the area, which has a height of 0 meters above sea level. In addition, Pekalongan also has a relatively low land slope of around 0 – 5%, which makes it challenging to distribute water and construct drainage. This study aims to be able to perform predictive modeling of flood-prone areas for the next five years. This study used eight parameters: rainfall, elevation, slope, distance to the river, distance to the sea, groundwater table to surface, soil type, and land use. This research used the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) method to predict rainfall parameters using the Python programming language with Jupyter Notebook software. Later, the data will be used as training and test data. Training data testing and tests are conducted to find the minimum failure or error value. The weight scoring method is carried out on each parameter to indicate areas with a high flood vulnerability level. The results showed that Pekalongan has a medium to very high vulnerability level, with a dominant high vulnerability level. The very high level of vulnerability is prevalent in the northern part of the research area, which is directly adjacent to the sea or in the North Pekalongan District. Floods that occur in the northern part of the study area are not only due to high levels of rainfall but can also occur due to the inflow of seawater towards the mainland resulting from high tides and high sea waves. The southern region of the study area has a smaller vulnerability level than the northern region, which has a medium to high vulnerability level.Keywords: Flood ∙ Hazard ∙ Precipitation ∙ LSTM ∙ Rainfal
Susceptibility Zoning of Soil Movement in Tawangmangu District, Karanganyar Regency with Bivariate Statistic Method - Weight of Evidence
Tawangmangu district which is located in Karanganyar Regency, Central Java is a crowded area which is susceptible to disaster. Therefore, susceptibility zoning analysis is needed to support the planning and development of the area. The method used is bivariate statistics - weight of evidence which has never been implemented in its location. There are two types of data, data of potential and soil movement case (divided into train data as 61 points and test data as 40 points); and parameter data of soil movement causes. Parameter data of soil movement is processed to be a WoE (Weight of Evidence) parameter map through the use of train data to know the weight. Later on, it will be validated based on the AUC value. If it’s > 0,60, then the process will proceed. Parameter which has AUC value > 0,60 is type of lithology, slope, hill, elevation, slope direction, distance from the fault, and index of vegetation density. All of those parameters are attached and being final validated by test data. Further, the zonation consists of four; zone of very low soil movement susceptibility, low, medium, and high. The area of the very low soil movement susceptibility zone is 19,68%. Zone of low susceptibility is mostly 24,57%. Zone of medium susceptibility is 25,88%. Meanwhile, the zone of high susceptibility is 29,86%. The result of final validation shows that AUC value from the zoning model made belongs to a good category, which is 0,757
Facies Analysis and Reservoir Characterization Using Petrophysical Methods in the Interest Zone in the 'FAN' Field, Kutai Basin, East Kalimantan
One of the most prospective oil and gas producing basins in Indonesia is Kutai Basin which is located in East Borneo. In Kutai Basin there is a natural resource potential in the form of gas which is quite abundant. This is due to the richness of the source rock aspect in the Kutai Basin which is dominated by coal. Besides coal, in the Kutai Basin there is also claystone with rich organic matter (organic shale) that has an important role as a prospective source rock. Therefore, a final project research was conducted in the Kutai Basin, East Kalimantan. The purpose of the research is to identifying the type and content of subsurface lithology and fluids, calculating petrophysical parameters, and making the facies distribution map at the research site in potential and prospective zone to produce hydrocarbons which is called the zones of interest. The research is focused on reservoir rocks at the research site because the hydrocarbons accumulated in the reservoir rocks itself. By focusing research on reservoir rocks, it will be able to describe the modelling and calculation results of petrophysical parameters using several analytical methods such as qualitative and quantitative analysis methods, electrofacies and parasequence analysis methods, stratigraphic correlation analysis methods, facies analysis methods and depositional environments, and facies map analysis methods. In addition, by focusing research on reservoir rocks, it can develop and increase the level of optimization of exploration and exploitation of drilling wells. Based on the analysis data, the research location is included in the transitional depositional environment, delta in particular with distributary channels and mouth bars facies and also it can be identified some lithology such as sandstone, claystone, coal, limestone, and organic claystone and there are fluids with gas and water types
Mineralogy and Ore Characteristics of the Kujang Pb-Zn Skarn Deposit, Sukabumi Regency, West Java
The Kujang Pb-Zn skarn deposit is known to be the newest skarn deposit found in the Sunda-Banda magmatic arc. The skarn orebodies are mostly hosted by limestone which might be the part of the Jampang Formation where dacite porphyry is interpreted to be the ore causative intrusion. Orebodies are mostly found at the contact between marbleized limestone and volcanic rocks and are controlled by NW-SE-trending strike-slip faults. Previous research on the mineralogy and ore characteristics of the Kujang Prospect remains limited on the preliminary studies. Using fieldwork data, petrography, ore microscopy, and assay data from core samples, this study is aimed to characterize the mineralogy of both alteration and ore of the deposit. The alteration of the Kujang Prospect skarn can be divided into 2 phases of alteration i.e. prograde and retrograde. The prograde alteration is characterized by the occurrence of clinopyroxene, wollastonite, and vesuvianite. Garnet is present in very rare amounts. the retrograde alteration is typified by epidote, chlorite, calcite and actinolite. Metalliferous minerals are represented by sphalerite, galena, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite. All ore minerals are formed at the early retrograde stage. the deposit’s average grade is 2.06% Pb, 6.45% Zn and 1.81% Cu
Volume Estimation of the Thickest Scoriaceous Tephra-Fall Deposits on the South-Southeastern Flank of Mt. Raung
Thick scoriaceous tephra-fall deposits are widely distributed in the south to the southeast flank of Mt. Raung, indicating the existence of past large explosive eruptions. The deposits are relatively young as the deposits are situated near the surface. Scoriaceous tephra-fall deposits can be divided into four layers from bottom to top, Scoria Fall 1, Scoria Fall 2, Scoria Fall 3, and Scoria Fall 4. There is no time gap between these layers, as evidenced by the deposits not being separated by any weathered layer or soil, suggesting that the deposits represent an eruptive product of a single active period. We estimated the volume of the deposits using isopach maps following Weibull method to identify the magnitude of the eruption. We limited the estimation only to Scoria Fall 2 and Scoria Fall 3 deposits which were consistently exposed on 13 and 9 observation points, respectively. The volume of Scoria Fall 2 is ~0.54 km3 and Scoria Fall 3 is ~0.26 km3 making the total volume of 0.8 km3 (VEI 4)
Source Rock Quality and 1D Maturity Model in Pendalian Sub-basin, Central Sumatra Basin
Pematang Formation is well known as the main source rock in the Central Sumatra Basin (Mazied et al., 2008). The formation which acts as source rock has been studied thoroughly in the central and eastern parts of the basin, but research regarding source rock in the western part of the basin, which is the study area, is very limited. This paper aims to define the quality of source rock from a geochemical view through the determination of organic content quantity based on the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) data, determining the type of kerogen, and thermal maturity of the source rock according to the values of Tmax and Vitrinite Reflectance (%Ro). Burial history and thermal maturity models (1D basin modeling) were also constructed to understand the timing of hydrocarbon generation. The results show that Pematang Formation among Sihapas and Telisa Formation has good organic content with TOC ranging from 0.2 to 42.48 wt%, and the maturity parameters indicate that the Pematang Formation has reached the mature stage. Both formations are dominated by Type II kerogen. 1D modeling of the SHT-1 Well indicates that the Pematang Formation is currently in the oil maturity window starting from early oil to main oil at 20.61 Ma, but the model of the SMB-1 Well has not reached the oil maturity window. Tectonic activity is estimated to have a significant effect on this difference when the uplift activity of Bukit Barisan in the Middle Miocene increased the maturity in the northwest, but the inversion that occurred in the Late Miocene resulted in uplift and erosion of young sediments, thus lowering the temperature in some area
Initial Geochemical Assessment of Coaly Source Rocks in Sumatera, Java,and Kalimantan
In Western Indonesia’s petroleum system, one of the hydrocarbon source rocks was deposited in parallic-deltaic environment with high organic content, categorizing it as coaly source rock. This study focused on geochemical characteristics of 25 coal and coaly shale samples from rock outcrops and well representing the Central Sumatra, South Sumatra, South Central Java, Barito, and Kutai Basin, with additional data from previous studies. TOC analysis and Rock-eval Pyrolysis were carried out to reveal the geochemical characteristics and maturation pathway of the source rock. The TOC analysis results showed a value of 0.5-67.73 wt%, indicating poor-excellent source rock potential. Further rock-eval pirolysis exhibits kerogen type II/II-III (excluding samples from Ngimbang Fm.), with gas-dominated hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbon Index ranging from 4-308 mg/gC indicates possible low-moderate quantity of hydrocarbon that can be generated by the source rocks. Despite the overall fair-good source rock potential, Tmax of the samples indicates a very poor maturity level, with only Upper Talang Akar as the mature candidate. Thus, it can be concluded that young source rock candidates in Western Indonesia (limited to the basins studied in this research) initially possess potential in generating hydrocarbons, if it is not for the immature level of most coaly source rock formations
Determination of Overpressure Zone and Its Mechanism in Baong Formation of the "Y" Field in North Sumatera Basin
The “Y” Field is one of the offshore areas in the North Sumatra Basin which is believed to have an important role in hydrocarbon exploration in the future. The North Sumatra Basin is known as an area that has high overpressure conditions and sometimes overpredicts in determining the amount of overpressure, especially in the Baong Formation. The purpose of this research is to determine the top and bottom overpressure zones, to know the vertical distribution of overpressure, and to find the main factors causing the overpressure in the Baong Formation.The data used in this study were 5 wells which have wireline log data, formation pressure data, leak of test, final well reports, mud logs, as well as 29 lines of 2D seismic data and 1 3D seismic data. The method used in this study was the Eaton method to determine pore pressure whereas the cross-plot wireline log method, the AI (acoustic impedance) inversion method and the stacking velocity were used to determine pore pressure.The study indicated that the overpressure zone is located in the Baong Formation at 1650 - 2108 m depth with a pore pressure of around 2891.70 - 3580 psi. The overpressure is caused by loading mechanism, namely disequilibrium compaction. This is influenced by the thickness of the formation above Baong Formation
Stability Analysis of Saka DAM Diversion Tunnel Portal
The Saka Dam has a channel in the form of a diversion tunnel. This paper presents the results of rock mass characterization using the Geological Strength Index (GSI) classification and evaluation of the stability of the tunnel portal slope with earthquake loads using numerical methods. Based on the GSI classification, the Saka Dam tunnel portal slope is composed of rock masses that are poor quality, fair, and good. The calculation results show the Saka Dam can experience earthquake loads with an acceleration value of 0.4g. Earthquake loads can cause a decrease in the safety value (SRF) of the tunnel portal slope based on the results of numerical analysis. SRF value of natural portal slope without earthquake effect is 10.23 (inlet) and 1.5 (outlet). SRF value of the design slope portal without earthquake effect is 6.64 (inlet) and 1.76 (outlet), whereas if the earthquake effect is taken into account the SRF value obtained is 20.31 (inlet) and 0.99 (outlet). This shows that the condition of the natural portal slope and the portal slope design planner section of the Saka Dam inlet diversion tunnel is in the safe category. Meanwhile, for the portal slope excavated from the outlet section, modification is needed to obtain a safe slope condition. The results of the modified geometry of the slopes at the outlet section resulted in an SRF value of 1.47 which indicates the slope is stable
Petrophysical Study and Rock Type Determination of Siliciclastic Reservoir: Case Study Sand of Bekasap Formation, AF Field, Central Sumatra Basin, Indonesia
An integrated subsurface study has been performed for a large and mature field at the Bekasap Formation in Central Sumatra Basin. The Bekasap Formation sand represents an undeveloped reservoir because of its heterogeneity. There are five sand reservoirs (BK1, BK2, BK3, BK4, and BK5) from Bekasap Formation, which each zone or layer bounded by a flooding surface. Each sand reservoir has particular characterization based on petrophysical properties that represent geological process. The petrophysical properties consist of shale volume, porosity, and water saturation obtained by wireline log calculation. This study uses conventional core data to validate the log calculation to achieve an accurate interpretation. Bekasap reservoir is a sandstone reservoir deposited in an estuarine with tide-dominated. Formation evaluation was done to determine the interest zone by petrophysical properties. The result well-log calculation and reservoir cut-offs showed the thickest reservoir in the BK 3 with the best average values of petrophysical properties with an average shale volume 0.32; porosity of 0.245. Otherwise, in rock type determination, four lithofacies are divided in the reservoir based on flow units. The sample RT 1 and RT2 provided the best reservoir zones with HFU1 and HFU2. The RT 3 and RT 4 dominated in HFU3 and HFU4 had the lowest potential zones of reservoir. The final findings showed a good correlation between sedimentologic analysis and petrophysical properties in the rock type determination. As a result, the best reservoir quality development is controlled by the depositional environment (texture and structure) rather than the diagenetic process in this reservoir. It is proven by petrophysical properties in BK1, and BK2 is coastal barrier sand (tidal sand bar) has more clean sand rather than in BK3 and BK4 deposited in the offshore bar
