    This document outlines the geology and exploration history of onshore Timor-Leste. It discusses the regional geology, stratigraphy based on correlations with the Northern Bonaparte Basin in Australia. Exploration has included seismic surveys and drilling since the early 1900s that have found oil and gas seeps. Petroleum systems are compared with Seram in Indonesia and source rocks are believed to be in the Permian and Triassic formations with reservoirs in the Triassic and Jurassic. Further exploration is recommended based on this analysis.

    INTRODUCTION

    TIMOR IS LOCATED IN THE TIMOR SEA REGION, NORTH OF AUSTRALIA.

    THE HYDROCARBON PROSPECTIVITY OF TIMOR-LESTE IS PROVEN BY EXISTING FIELD OFFSHORE AND


    NUMEROUS HYDROCARBON SEEPS ONSHORE WHICH REFLECT AN ACTIVE PETROLEUM SYSTEM. THE
    QUALITY OF THE OIL FROM ONSHORE SEEPS HAS BEEN ANALYSED TO BE SWEET CRUDE,
    WITH 30 DEG TO 36 DEG API.

    EXPLORATION HISTORY

    BRIEF SUMMARY OF EXPLORATION HISTORY and PROPOSED PSC AREA

    • The first detail geological study of


    Timor was conducted by Hirschi
    (1907) : who recognized complex
    structures in the region.

    • A reconnaissance work from oil


    company led by Weber from 1910-
    1911 (“but never published). After
    that was recognized later by Wanner
    (1956).

    PROPOSED PSC AREA - TIMORGAP


    EXPLORATION HISTORY- GEOPHYSICS

    GEOPHYSICAL EXPLORATION PROJECT :


     SEISMIC GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY ALONG THE
    SOUTHERN COASTLINE OF PORTUGUESE TIMOR IN
    1966 INCLUDE AREA :
    THE BETANO-SUAI-PROVINCIAL BORDER PROJECT,
    THE BEACO-LUKA PROJECT, THE ALIAMBATA PROJECT.
    THERE ALSO THREE TIE LINES I,II AND III SPACING
    ALMOST 3 MILES.
     A SEISMIC SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED BY C.G.G.
    DURING 1968 THIS SURVEY FOUND AN ANTICLINE
    UNDER CAPE TAFARA A WELL WAS DRILLED TO
    AROUND 6.000 FEET. TIMOR OIL LIMITED ATTEMPTED
    TO FIND COMMERCIAL QUANTITIES BY DRILLING A
    NUMBER OF WELLS NEAR THE SEEPS AND ANOTHER.
     OFFSHORE TAFARA-SUAI, BEACO-MATI BOOT AND
    ALIAMBATA AREAS IN 1970 FROM TIMOR OIL
    LIMITED.

     Source rock : The main potential source rock are believed to be Late Triassic-Jurassic restricted marine mixed carbonate and
    clastic sequence.

     Reservoir rock : For exploration in East Timor up to 1975, the primary reservoir target were lightly compacted sandstone within
    the late Neogene post orogenic basins along the south coast, while the deeper drilling failed to establish reservoir sequences,
    however Sani et al (1995) only described the Plover equivalent in Banli-1, indicating as shallow Marine siliciclastic facies.

     Seal : the primary sealing horizon in Timor is middle Jurassic Shales of the Wailuli Formation which immediately succeeds the
    main potential reservoir sequences of the Malita and Plover equivalent.

    SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
    Summary

    • TIMOR-LESTE IS A COMPLEX TECTONIC AREA, THEREFORE THE STRUCTURES ARE CAPABLE


    OF HOSTING COMMERCIAL VOLUMES OF HYDROCARBON ACCUMULATION.

    • ONSHORE AREA HAS AN ACTIVE PETROLEUM SYSTEM AND THE EARLIER DISCOVERIES IN
    THE SOUTH COAST CAN BE COMMERCIALLY ATTRACTIVE DUE TO THE CURRENT INFRA-
    STRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN SUAI (SSB).

    Recommendation

    • REQUIRES HIGH QUALITY, HIGH RESOLUTION GRAVITY & MAGNETIC DATA TO IDENTIFY
    REGIONAL STRUCTURES.

    • REQUIRES DETAILED SEISMIC SURVEY

    • DETAILED GEOLOGICAL MODELLING TO INTERPRET STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION AND


    HYDROCARBON MIGRATION PATHWAYS, PROSPECT INVENTORY & DRILLABLE TARGET
