Integrated Subsurface Temperature Modeling beneath Mt. Lawu and Mt. Muriah in The Northeast Java Basin, Indonesia

Abstract

The subsurface temperature has many impacts on geological phenomena such as hydrocarbon generation, geothermal energy, mineralization, and geological hazards. The Northeast Java Basin has various interesting phenomena, such as many oil fields, active faults, mud eruptions, and some active and dormant volcanoes. We measured temperature data from tens of wells along a 130 km survey line with an average spacing of 5 km. We also measured the thermal conductivity of rocks of various lithologies along the survey line to provide geothermal heat flow data. We propose integrated modeling for profiling the subsurface temperature beneath the survey line from Mt. Lawu to Mt. Muriah in the Northeast Java Basin. The modeling of subsurface temperature integrates various input data such as a thermal conductivity model, surface temperature, gradient temperature, a geological model, and geothermal heat flow. The thermal conductivity model considers the subsurface geological model. The temperature modeling uses the finite difference of Fourier’s law, with an input subsurface thermal conductivity model, geothermal heat flow, and surface temperature. The subsurface temperature profile along with survey line shows some interesting anomalies which correlate with either subsurface volcanic activity or the impact of fault activity.

The fall of volcanic material from Mount Lawu, Central Java: a case study of magnetic susceptibility

“…From its peak, erosion has occurred. A 2019 study on geothermal flows shows that Mount Lawu is still active today [21]. Evidence of the eruption of Mount Lawu can be seen in Figure 1.…”

“…This river has a length of 234 km, with a width about 3,656.78 km 2 . This river flows east to west between the Kudus, Pati and Rembang Hills to the north and the Kendeng Hills to the south [34,35]. The geographic area of the study area is shown in We use sample fossil of a deer (Cervidae) and 3 sediments sample from outcrops around sampling area.…”

Time Lapse Measurement of Reservoir’s Parameters Change due to CO2 Injection in Parigi Carbonate West Java

“…[1]- [5]. There are some possibilities in the uniqueness of the Indonesian carbonate characteristics, especially in Java, due to high geothermal heat flow which produced by either volcanism activity or fault activity, see [6] This research may reveal the uniqueness of Indonesian carbonate due to the CO2 injection characteristics.…”
