<p>Deep sea mining involves the extraction of minerals from the ocean floor. As deep sea mining is a relatively new practice, there is still much to be learned about the technology and the potential risks associated with it by the developing countries. Developing states must ensure that proper safety measures are in place to prevent accidents and minimize the risk of environmental damage. While the potential benefits of deep sea mining are significant, it is essential to ensure that the process is carried out responsibly and sustainably to protect both the environment and local communities. Developing countries face numerous challenges when it comes to actively participating in deep-sea exploration. Some of these challenges include a lack of adequate resources, limited technological capabilities, and limited access to funding. Additionally, developing countries often lack the necessary legal frameworks and regulatory systems to effectively regulate deep-sea exploration, licensing and extraction activities, especially within the continental shelves and the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ). These challenges can make it difficult for developing countries to fully participate in this important area of scientific research for a sustainable blue economy. This paper suggests an effective partnership between oceanographic research institutes from developing countries with research institutes from countries like France, Germany, UK, Belgium, Netherlands, China and International seabed Authority (ISA) in deep sea marine scientific research. The paper identifies the need for a joint collaboration for the purpose of acquiring reliable data on the seabed topography, location, shape, coverage, and abundance of deep-sea mineral resources in the continental shelves, exclusive economic zones of developing countries, and area beyond the national jurisdiction. There is also a need to develop legal framework on deep sea policy for sustainable actualization of developing nations’ blue economy.<strong></strong></p>

“…Kerogen is the content of organic material in a sedimentary rock that is insoluble in organic solvents. There are four types of kerogen, which are Kerogen Type I, Kerogen Type II, and Kerogen Type III (Brooks et al, 1984;Olatunde, 2016;Scheeder et al, 2020).…”

Since conventional oil and gas is under a depletion phase, unconventional oil, and gas have become prime candidates for current and future oil and gas production. Based on this, investment and research have increased significantly related to unconventional oil and gas exploitation, especially in the North East Java Basin, one of the sedimentary basins producing oil and gas. The research was conducted in the form of well-logging, geochemical, and seismic data analysis to determine the quality and quantity of oil and gas reservoirs. The thickness and TOC value of the reservoir were determined using well-logging data using the Passey method, resulting in a thickness ranging from 900-954 ft and an average TOC value of 3.87 Wt% in the Kujung III Formation. Based on geochemical data analysis, the reservoir has type II kerogen with an immature-early mature maturity level (Ro and Tmax). Meanwhile, based on seismic data, the reservoir thickens to the northwest, ranging from 500-600 m. Unconventional oil and gas reservoirs in the research area have the potential to be developed because they meet several criteria, such as being rich in organic material and thick, even though the maturity level is still in the immature phase. It is estimated that deeper areas will produce different levels of maturity as pressure and temperature increase.
