CHINA
The Vietnam Delegation noted that the Member Country Report of China mentioned
the oil and gas activities of CNOOC in the western South China Sea, without indicating the
specific area. China responded that they would discuss this matter with the Delegation of
Vietnam outside the Meeting.
KOREA
Dr. David Prior expressed great interest in the new development in KIGAM of an
International School for Geoscience Resources. Dr. Prior asked about the participation of the
various countries, the use of invited lecturers and who developed the curriculum. He also
asked about the relationship with Korean Universities and whether the latter see KIGAM as
being in competition with the universities.
The Korea Delegation replied that no adverse reaction due to perceived competition
had so far been recognized. As far as the curriculum was concerned, this was developed within
the school according to the needs and interest of Specific Groups of trainees.
Dr. A.J. Reedman congratulated Korea on their report and particular their interesting
initiative in setting up the International School for Geoscience Resources. Dr. Reedman
wondered with respect to the trainees particularly from CCOP Member Countries, whether
costs were covered by UNDP, KOICA, etc. or whether a Member Country contribution was
needed.
The Korea Delegation explained that costs to trainees were determined on a case by
case basis dependent on the status of the country, but for the first year the budget available to
the school allowed charges in most cases to be minimal.
Dr. A.J. Reedman noted that Korea had mentioned that KIGAM would be starting a
bilateral cooperation project with Timor-Leste involving geological mapping supported by
KOICA. Dr. Reedman wondered whether training in the new International School could be an
element of the programme. Dr. Reedman stated that his experience of such programmes was
that the training element had to be partially separated from the actual mapping activity because
the on-the-job experts were often working to tight deadlines and did not wish to divert much
time to training. Dr. Reedman, therefore, asked if some of the initial training of the
counterparts would be undertaken in the new KIGAM training facility.
The Korea Delegation thanked Dr. Reedman for his observations and said they would
be contacting him further regarding this matter.
Dr. David Ovadia congratulated KIGAM on its important and interesting initiative in
setting up the international school and asked if the school is able to award degrees or diplomas.
The Korea Delegation said KIGAM could not itself award degrees but an arrangement
was being made with the University of Science and Technology (UST) for the award of MSc
and PhD qualifications for work carried out jointly in KIGAM and the UST.

THE PHILIPPINES
Dr. Rien A.C. Dam, The Netherlands mentioned that the inclusion of climate change
effects in on-going focus topics of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) was very good
and important. The Philippines and other countries in the CCOP region are amongst those with
the highest vulnerability to climate change; other countries include Indonesia and Vietnam
(Mekong Delta). He added that Deltares, The Netherlands is willing to collaborate with the
MGB on this topic.
VIETNAM
The Malaysia Delegation questioned the depth for the proposed Deep Groundwater
Project. Dr. Nguyen Nhu Trung of CCOP TS answered that normally the deep
groundwater’s depth is considered as more than 500 meters below surface topography.
4. COOPERATING COUNTRIES’ AND ORGANIZATIONS’ REPORTS
(documents CCOP-47AS/4.1-15 to 4.2-24)
Written reports were filed prior to the meeting and are reproduced in ANNEX VI.
Additional comments following verbal presentation are given below:
CANADA
The Korea Delegation asked if the CGS of Canada has any plan to continue working
on the Mallik gas hydrate project in the Mackenzie area and when will the decision be made on
the new project?
The Canada Delegation answered that they did not anticipate additional work at the
Mallik site. The new project to assess the viability of long term production cannot be done at
the Mallik site. Another site near Tuktoyaktuk is being considered. We expect to make a
decision within a year.
Dr. David Prior asked what lessons had been learned from the onshore Mallik test
about production of hydrates from offshore locations. Dr. Prior then followed by suggesting
that there were special problems with offshore production because of the geometry of hydrate
formations which may be spatially extensive but relatively restricted vertically.
The Canadian Delegation said the Mallik experience suggest that the most effective
way to produce gas is through pressure drawdown. This may well apply to hydrates in the
marine environment. Because of the generally diffuse nature of hydrate in the marine
environment, Canada is focusing its efforts on massive hydrates in vent structures.
GERMANY
The Indonesia Delegation asked the German Delegation about connections with
Universities in Germany. They have projects in Indonesia dealing with geothermal exploration
and reservoir modeling, one of the Universities being GFZ of Potsdam. The German Delegate
answered that she would investigate this and reply back to Indonesia.

NORWAY
The Korea Delegation thanked the Norwegian Delegation for their informative
presentation. They noted that Timor-Leste has a plan to establish a new Institution called IPG
(Institute Petroleum and Geology). Does the Norwegian Government program to Timor-Leste
include helping them to establish IPG in Timor-Leste?
The Timor-Leste Delegation answered the question, saying that establishment of the
Institute of Petroleum Geology (IPG) and the National Oil Company (NOC) is a matter for
Government business or Government policy.
5. PROPOSED CCOP WORKPLAN FOR 2011
(document CCOP-47AS/5)
The Director of CCOP TS presented the Work Plan for 2011 and commented on
various details of the tabled report (ANNEX VII).
Dr. David Ovadia commented that some items needed by Member Countries are
available free of charge in the public domain, for example GSI3D software can be downloaded
from the BGS website (www.bgs.ac.uk). CCOP could act to make the availability of these
items more widely known.
Dr. Reedman, Honorary Advisor, thanked the Director for his presentation of the
proposed workplan for 2011. He noted that many projects were listed that had, as yet, no
assured budget. We all appreciate that external funding is increasingly difficult to attract and
so CCOP has to look internally for project support. The Director’s presentation showed an
appreciation of this fact. It highlighted certain Member Countries’ needs for assistance from
CCOP in several areas and listed other Member Countries who might be able to supply those
needs. Dr. Reedman added that it was his personal view that CCOP was not likely to survive as
a useful organization unless the most technologically and economically advanced Member
Countries provided some of the necessary assistance to the less developed Member Countries.
Member Country initiation of projects that had the potential to benefit several other Member
Countries, such as the training institute project developed in Korea, would also be important in
the future. Dr. Reedman wondered if any of the Member Countries might wish to comment on
this point.
6.
ADVISORY GROUP MEETING
The Advisory Group met in private session.
7. REPORT OF THE CCOP ADVISORY GROUP MEETING
Dr. David Prior, Chairperson of the Advisory Group presented a summary report of
the Advisory Group Meeting, the main points of which were included in a power point
presentation (as shown in ANNEX VIII).
The Malaysia Delegation representing all Member Countries recorded an appreciation
of the continuous support given by the Advisory Group. All the issues identified and
suggestions made, will be carefully discussed and analyzed by all Member Countries during
the Steering Committee Meeting.

8. PROPOSED DATE AND VENUE OF THE 48TH CCOP ANNUAL SESSION
The Malaysia Delegation initiated a “negotiation” among Member Countries and has
come to a conclusion which will be announced by Thailand.
The Thailand Delegation referred to the Rules of Procedure of CCOP, under Rule 15.
Dates and Venue of Meetings:
“Item 15.1 – Hosting of the Annual Sessions shall be rotate among the Member
Countries of CCOP. In the event that there is no offer of hosting, the sessions shall be held in
Bangkok, Thailand, or any other arrangements the Steering Committee may decide”.
Thailand would, therefore, like to offer to be the hosting country for the 48th CCOP
Annual Session and 58th Steering Committee Meeting. Date and venue of the meeting will be
further announced as soon as possible. However, the Thailand Delegation would like to
remind the meeting that in six years time CCOP will have its 50th Year Anniversary. The
annual meeting in that year should be held in Thailand. So, from 2012 until the 50th Year
Anniversary, there should be no further annual meeting in Thailand.
9. OTHER MATTERS
9.1 EAGER Award
The EAGER award for 2010 was presented to Mr. Johanes Hutabarat (Indonesia).

Your Excellency: Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia;
Honorable: Director of CCOP Technical Secretariat;
Permanent Representatives of Member Countries to CCOP, Head of Delegations;
Participants of the 47th CCOP Annual Session and the 56th Steering Committee Meeting;
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen;
Good morning, Assalamu’ alaikum warrakhmatullahi Wabarakatuh
It is my great pleasure, on behalf of the People of North Sulawesi and myself, to
extend the warmest welcome, Salamat Datang, to Manado, the Kawanua City, North
Sulawesi Province. I would like to thank you all for attending the Opening of the 47th CCOP
Annual Session and the 56th CCOP Steering Committee Meeting held here today.
I am very delighted and proud that Manado has been selected by the Government of
Indonesia to be the venue to conduct such a prominent occasion. North Sulawesi has been
proven to be a very secure and convenient place to hold international events, such as the
World Ocean Conference, coral triangle initiative summit and sail Bunaken, that took place
in 2009 as well as other activities with significant success.
It is a province of diverse cultural and social backgrounds with a total population of
approximately two point one million, comprising of three major enthnic groups, among
others minahasa, bolaang mongondow, sangihe and talaud. It is surrounded by the beautiful
nature of magnificent seas, majestic mountains and lush green vegetations, made fertile by
the sulphuric soils and volcanoes. It has also been blessed with much potential of natural
resources in agriculture, marine and fisheries, mining and energy, as well as tourism,
supported by an improving state of human resources, where the availability of good
educational facilities and skilled individual, North Sulawesi has achieved the first rank in the
national literacy rate. Other supporting infrastructures are the Sam Ratulangi International
Airport and Bitung International Harbor, in view of preparing North Sulawesi to become the
gateway to Asia Pacific and from Asia Pacific to Eastern and Northern part of Indonesia.
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,
The presence of the CCOP Member Countries demonstrates the spirit of CCOP
friendship and solidarity to the world. I personally expect that such activity will enhance and
broaden cooperation amongst CCOP Member Countries in utilizing geosciences for the
benefit of mankind, not only in the region but throughout the world. Therefore, in my point
of view, this Annual Session and Steering Committee Meeting should entirely discuss any
aspects involving both technical and administrative matters in regard to the know-how of
geosciences utilization.

Dato’ Yunus Abdul Razak
Chairperson, CCOP Steering Committee
Permanent Representative of Malaysia to CCOP
At the Opening Ceremony of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
17-21 October 2010, Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia
Honorable Dr. Noldy Tuerah, Head of Integrated Economic Development Zone for North
Sulawesi Province, Representing the Honorable Governor for North Sulawesi;
Dr. R. Sukhyar, Head of Geological Agency, Permanent Representative of Indonesia to
CCOP;
Dr. David Prior, Chairman of the CCOP Advisory Group;
Dr. He Qingcheng, Director of CCOP Technical Secretariat;
Distinguished Delegates and Guests;
Ladies and Gentlemen;
Assalamu ‘alaikum and a very good morning!
It is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all of you to the 47th CCOP Annual
Session in this scenic City of Manado. As Chairperson of CCOP Steering Committee, I am
very grateful to Honorable Dr. Noldy Tuerah for taking his time to be with us in this special
gathering and meaningful occasion.
On behalf of the CCOP Member Countries, Cooperating Countries and Cooperating
Organizations, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to the Government of
Indonesia, to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and to the Geological Agency of
Indonesia for graciously hosting this 47th Annual Session, immediately followed by the 56th
Steering Committee Meeting.
I want to take this opportunity to welcome our guests from Lao PDR. I just want to
say that CCOP is more than happy to have you as part of the family. My recent meeting with
your Minister and senior official was a memorable one.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
CCOP has been in existence for more than 40 years and there have been a lot of
changes since the CCOP’s inception. Hence, in order for CCOP to remain relevant and to be
able to stand up against the tide of the contemporary demands, and to be able to project
forward to meet the demands of the future generations, the CCOP, as an organization is in
dire need to effect, and adapt to changes as well. We cannot afford to work at our own pace,
but must instead move faster, act wiser and strategize better.
I would like to commend the good work conducted by CCOP Advisory Group on the
analysis of the issues faced by CCOP through the Brain Storming Sessions. Instead of
spending the Sunday to enjoy the beauty of Manado, you chose to share your experiences and
wisdom to help CCOP. It is imperative that we should address the challenges urgently and
effectively in the context of the global changing environment.
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
Manado, Indonesia, 17-21 October 2010

CCOP Technical Secretariat
The issue of climate change should be one of our top priority concerns. There should
be a concerted will to leverage the role of geosciences to contribute towards managing and
minimizing the effect of Climate Change. The CCOP Advisory Group’s role of providing
valuable recommendations in order to guide and propel CCOP to the proper direction, to the
higher elevation, is hence very highly appreciated.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I would like to remind myself, as well as all permanent representatives that we are
now to walk the talk as expressed in our CCOP Strategic Plan. Preparation of a good Action
Plan and Annual Business Plan (ABP) is a must, to achieve what has been envisioned in the
CCOP Strategic Plan. Revisiting and measuring performance to correct the weaknesses and
to improve the processes are of paramount important for CCOP to continue to play its role
enshrined in its Vision as a Regional Intergovernmental geoscience organization.
In 2009, in order to bring CCOP to the community, we published the CCOP book on
Geoheritage in East and Southeast Asia. I’m happy to report that the mock-up copy of the
book on Geological Museums in the CCOP Region is ready and will be published in the very
near future.
I am delighted to inform the Session that CCOP has extended the scope of
cooperation with other regional organizations such as the ASEAN Senior Official Meeting on
Minerals (ASOMM). The extension and strengthening of this type of cooperation would pave
the way for CCOP to avail to the vast opportunities of improving geosciences knowledge
which holds the key to a safer, healthier and wealthier World.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I wish to take the opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to some of the Member
Countries for having taken the initiative to organize courses with local sponsorship in terms
of financing, providing resource persons for the courses and seminars. I reckon that this
should be the way forward for CCOP and I strongly recommend that this soft initiative,
though still in its infantry stage can be enhanced so that the CCOP would be seen
increasingly as a contributing entity to the world at large in the sphere of geology.
The move by KIGAM to form IS-GEO, an International School to train geoscientists
from this region is something we should all be proud of.
Over the years, the criteria for the financial funding of CCOP activities have become
increasingly complex. These are closely related to the indigenous native and the nature
conservation issues. In order for CCOP to play an increasing important role, I am of the
opinion that CCOP should source its funding entirely from its Member Countries, and
Cooperating Countries.
It is time for us to review the contribution computation of the Member Countries and
Cooperating Countries so that a just, agreeable and workable solution may be formulated.
Indeed sound sustainable funding is instrumental to the very survival and effective running of
the organization. The rate we are paying our annual cash contribution now was set some 23
years ago and has not been revised since.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I consider my humble self to be greatly honored to be given the opportunity to
shoulder the responsibility as the Chairman of the Steering Committee for the last three years.
As my term draws to an end towards the end of this year, I want to take the opportunity to
thank the Advisory Group, the Technical Secretariat, all the Member Countries, all the
Cooperating Countries and Organizations.
At this juncture, I want to reiterate that there is still a lot of room for CCOP to
improve. I want to see CCOP to climb higher and higher, to grow from strength to strength,
becoming a real force to be reckoned with in the region and beyond. I also want to see CCOP
to propel into an era of unprecedented cooperation and solidarity among the Member
Countries and Cooperating Countries in years to come.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you for your attention and I look forward enthusiastically to a productive and
creative 47th CCOP Annual Session and wish all of you a pleasant time in this most
admirable, truly friendly city of Manado.
Thank you and Wassalam!

KEYNOTE ADDRESS
by
Dr. David B. Prior
Chairperson, CCOP Advisory Group
At the Opening Ceremony of the 47th CCOP Annual Meeting
17-21 October 2010, Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia
Dr. Sinyo Harry Sarundayang, The Governor of North Sulawesi;
Dato’ Yunus Abdul Razak, Chairman of the CCOP Steering Committee;
Dr. R. Sukhar, Permanent Representative of Indonesia to CCOP;
Distinguished Delegates and Guests;
On the occasion of the opening of the 47th CCOP Annual Session, I am very pleased
to make some introductory remarks. As Chairman of the Advisory Group I have the honor to
represent 14 Cooperating Countries and Cooperating Organizations, and Honorary Advisors
from several different countries.
First it is my pleasure to join in thanking Dr. Sinyo Harry Sarundayang for taking the
time from his very busy schedule, and gracing us with his presence here today. We all very
much appreciate the Republic of Indonesia for their sponsorship of the meeting, and the
Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources for the welcome that has been prepared, and all
that has been done to make this meeting a success. For many of us this is our first visit to the
beautiful coastal city of Manado - but not our first to Indonesia. Many of us were fortunate to
attend the wonderful CCOP meeting in Yogyakarta. It is a real pleasure to be in Indonesia
again and we are most grateful to our colleagues in the Geological Agency, the Ministry of
Energy and Mineral Resources for their warm welcome.
During our Annual Meeting we will, have many important things to consider,
including a review of the many activities and achievements that have been made by CCOP
during the past year. On behalf of the Advisory Group I would like to congratulate Prof. Dr.
He Qingcheng on his assuming the important position of Director of CCOP earlier this year.
We are very are grateful to China for their generosity in allowing Dr. He to take up this very
important leadership position. Dr. He is no stranger to CCOP - he is in fact an old and valued
friend and he has attended many annual meetings and Steering Committee meetings in the
past.
Most notably he had a key role in the CCOP COASTPLAN project. Some of us were
privileged to work with him when he was leading the Yellow River Delta component of
COASTPLAN. Much of COASTPLAN’s success is owing to Dr. He for his inspired and
energetic leadership and the new information that was forthcoming on one of the world’s
major delta systems. Dr. He is to be congratulated in his very impressive first few months
leading the Secretariat. He is making detailed assessments of the state of projects and
finances as well as engaging in meetings with various Members Countries and Cooperating
Countries. Be assured the Advisory Group wishes to offer support and assistance to Dr. He
in his new role.
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session

CCOP Technical Secretariat
We probably do not need to remind ourselves that the past year has again proved the
importance of the need for geosciences in the economic development and quality of life in the
world’s diverse societies. There is a continually growing international focus on the global
issue of climate change, and global warming. However it also seems generally agreed that
the United Nations climate talks in Copenhagen did not yield the much needed progress. The
recent meeting in Tjian Jin, China was in preparation for forthcoming meetings planned for
Cancun Mexico and all are hopeful for renewed cooperation.
CCOP has always recognized the global importance of climate change and it
especially gratifying that the Steering Committee has chosen to focus on this topic for this
year’s Thematic Session:
“Understanding climatic change in order to enhance geoscientific contributions to society
and its environment.”
We are all most grateful for the organization of this special Thematic Session. No
doubt we can look forward to very important discussions. But as Geoscientists we know that
climate change is only one of several critical issues that have both local and global
significance, along with energy supplies, natural resources including minerals, hydrocarbons,
water availability, and natural hazards.
In the past year we have seen yet again the impact of Geo-hazards causing great loss
of life and substantial impacts on entire national economies. Unfortunately there are many
examples. The Haiti earthquake and its accompanying appalling loss of life and destruction
of much the City of Port au Prince serves to remind us of the vulnerability of developing
societies. The recent catastrophic flooding in Pakistan, Viet Nam, China and elsewhere in
Asia reveals our need to better understand extreme climate events, and the provision of
necessary infrastructure to protect people and their livelihoods.
We have also learned very valuable lessons about Geo- Resources development and
some of the limitations of modern production engineering. Specifically we have been faced
with the fact that oil and gas exploration and development in deep water frontier areas is still
very dangerous, and technically very challenging, even though there are many successful
deep water productions systems. There still remain important investigations into the causes
of the BP Deep Horizon disaster and blowout.
But this event graphically illustrates the need to better understand and manage
combinations of circumstances - partly environment, partly geology, partly technology, and
partly the potential for human error in very complex circumstances if such tragedies are to be
avoided. And of course Geoscientists have important roles to play in better understanding
and mitigating the effects of such oil spills. Now the Gulf of Mexico is unfortunately a major
laboratory for methods of oil spill response, clean-up, and observations of both short and long
term environmental effects. It is already very clear we have much to learn.
Such examples highlight the importance of what is done within our CCOP
organization. CCOP has a very important role to play in such issues. New knowledge is
needed as well as its transfer to others through seminars and workshops aimed at increasing
human capacity in the region. CCOP’s ability to consider such complex issues has always
derived from the willingness of the Member Countries and Cooperating Countries to work
together, forming a powerful network of organizations.

This unique CCOP cooperation has been based upon the shared conviction that
improved geoscience knowledge and education are keys to a safer and better world. But in
order to continue this valuable work it will be evident to all CCOP Member Countries that the
new CCOP Strategic Plan must be fully developed and implemented. New strategies are also
needed for project development and project support, from both within CCOP Member
Countries and from Cooperating Countries. While world economies are emerging from
recession the reality is that that securing the traditional project funds is likely to be more
difficult for the foreseeable future. Very simply CCOP must and can rise to this challenge.
And once again the CCOP annual session provides an opportunity to renew our
commitment to advancing geosciences in the service of economic development and quality of
life in the region.
On behalf of the Advisory Group, I would like to sincerely thank the Government of
Indonesia for hosting the 47th CCOP Annual Meeting. We are most grateful to the Indonesian
people and our Indonesian colleagues for their warm welcome and hospitality.
Thank you.

Members of CCOP Advisory Group;
Ladies and Gentlemen;
Good Morning, Assalamuaaikum wr wb,
First of all on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia I would like to
warmly welcome you all the participants of 47th CCOP Annual Session in Manado. I know to
get Manado you have to fly via Singapura or Jakarta, it is a quite a long jouney from your
country. The choice of Manado as the venue has some reasons. First, the city is one of the big
cities in the country and has attractive tourist and geological destinations that we will
experience in the coming excursion. Second, the city recently had succeeded to host World
Ocean Congress, and other international event such as the record breaking on mass diving. I
believe you will have enjoyable stay and memorable experience in Manado.
Allow me in this occasion on behalf of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources
I should thank to the Governor of North Sulawesi for the support during the preparation for
this event.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The Government of Indonesia emphasizes its economic development on three targets,
namely pro poor, pro jobs and pro growth with remaining to give protection to the
environment to sustain live. The issues are addressed through three focuses, provision of
food, water and energy. Geoscience in the country has to respond to these issues. Oil reserve
is depleting, we have to find in other parts in eastern Indonesia. Water sources are
environmentally degradated.
We are glad that the mainstream of CCOP programs suite to the issues which the
Government here is now dealt with, and CCOP also has responded the issues, which grouped
its programs into geological hazards, geo environment and geo resources. I thank to the
sponsors, as follows: PT. Newmont Nusa Tenggara (private company on gold mining), PT.
Timah (state-owned tin mining company), PT. Freeport Indonesia (private company on gold
and copper mining), PT. Elnusa (the integrated upstream oil and gas services, a subsidiary of
PT. Pertamina), PT. Adaro Indonesia (private company on coal mining), PT. Bukit Asam
(state-owned coal mining company), PT. Pertamina Geothermal Energy (geothermal
company, a subsidiary of PT. Pertamina).

CCOP Technical Secretariat
The theme understanding climate change in this CCOP Annual Session is very much
relevant to the environmental problems, which is now currently taking place. Heavy rain falls
have caused floods and landslides in the country. A few days ago a landslide hit an area
called Wasior in West Papua province killing more than 150 people. The landslide is caused
by steep slope of the morphology, which is triggered by heavy rain falls. The question, is
there any other factor, such as geological factor causing the landslide? This is a challenge of
geoscience, if the rain and the morphology caused the landslide, why it did not happen in
other places where the condition is alike.
A number other landslides also occurred in many parts in the country. Through the
year 2010 we have not felt dry season. Rains fell at singe day. School kids may not believe
that the country has still dry season. We, therefore, call dry season this year as wet dry
season.
Other environmental challenge in geoscience is the subsidence in big cities due to
excessive ground water extraction, which is happening now in Jakarta. I think this can be a
focus of our cooperation. We hope that CCOP can facilitate a program in regard to ground
water management including monitoring system in big cities in CCOP countries.
Ladies and gentelemen,
The role of geoscience become prominent from time to time in Indonesia. A number
of State laws clearly mandate the need of geology in public and corporate governance such as
oil gas law, geothermal law, mineral and coal mining law, law on disaster management,
Water resources law and Land use planning law. However, we admit that the gap in
application of geoscince between scientists and policy makers still exist. Thus, intensive
socialization to government officials and people is encouraged and needed continuously. We
admit for most local government that geological data acquisition is costly or cost center, and
do not give direct revenue to them. This is again a challenge to us here to convince the
importance of geoscience in development decision making.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I think CCOP member countries have common problems, through this goescience
cooperation in CCOP we can share experience to address the issues and problems. This is
also shared by experience and learning that have been obtained by our colleagues of CCOP
cooperating countries.
Nevertheless, I thank you to Technical Secretariat of CCOP for their guide, patience
and cooperation with us the host in making this meeting happen. We wish you all will get
beneficial outcome from this meeting, and contribute it to the government and the people in
this region.
Finally, I declare the 47th Annual session and 57th Steering Committee Meeting
officially open. Have fruitful deliberation during the meeting, enjoyable stay and experience
here in Manado.
Thank you, Wassalamalaikum wr wb.

3) CCOP Book Project 2009: “Geological Museums of East and Southeast Asia”
The planned book is aimed at being a companion volume for the 2008 CCOP book
entitled “Geoheritage of East and Southeast Asia” which was published in December 2008
and has generally been well received. Taken together these two books will complete CCOP’s
central contribution to the UN International Year of Planet Earth.
The ‘Museums’ Project consists of two sub-projects: 1) the book highlighting selected
museums in each CCOP country 2) a database with details of all Geological Museums in the
CCOP Region.
To date, manuscripts from China, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Thailand and
Vietnam have been received. Due to the delay of submission of chapters from the rest of the
Member Countries, it is foreseen that the target date of publication will be delayed. An
Editor’s Meeting at the 46th Annual Session in Vung tau, Vietnam was held discussing issues
faced in editing and selecting pictures among those received for each chapter. It is planned to
publish this book before the 2010 CCOP Annual Session.
The database will soon be compiled after the launching of the book at the 2010 CCOP
Annual Session.

2. ENERGY PROGRAMME
2.1 Summary
The economy of Cambodia is based on agriculture, tourism, and natural resources. In
this emerging economy, Cambodia has promoted some major sectors in order to encourage
foreign investment and to provide business opportunities. The petroleum sector is one of the
major sectors offering such opportunities. With continued economic development and a more
stable political climate in the Southeast Asia region, the need for energy attracts international
oil companies to invest in the petroleum sector.
2.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes/Activities
Legal Framework
The legal framework for petroleum development in Cambodia is still not finalized.
The proposal for a petroleum law to be forwarded to the Parliament has not yet been
approved by the Council of Ministers due in the previous time to a lack of technical experts.
The drafted law has been revised several times by the petroleum legal working group of the
Cambodian National Petroleum Authority in cooperation with international legal experts in
order to improve the law to international standards. Under this law, regulations and
provisions have also been developed to facilitate the implementation of the law as well as to
control activity in the petroleum sector.
As a petroleum act is not yet in place, Cambodia still uses the petroleum Agreement, a
PSA model, for licensing petroleum companies to conduct petroleum exploration. This
agreement is used with reference to the Foreign Investment Law and the Petroleum
Regulation 1991, which is still in effect.
Organizational set-up
The organizational set-up for the management of petroleum resources in Cambodia is
placed with the Cambodia National Petroleum Authority. The Upstream Division,
Downstream Division, Legal, Negotiation and Administration Division of the Cambodian
National Petroleum Authority are responsible for the petroleum resources and petroleum
products sector, which covers all activities related to the sector of oil and gas industry. There
are 87 staff members in the Cambodian National Petroleum Authority. With a recent plan for
development of Oil and Gas, sanctioned by the Royal Government, the petroleum area is to
be prioritized.

Current Exploration Activities
Up to now, Cambodia has seven sedimentary basins which show promise for oil and
gas deposits, and these are divided in 28 blocks and 4 areas. Among these, 22 blocks are
onshore and 6 blocks are offshore (Undisputed area). In addition, Cambodia shares with
Thailand 4 areas in the overlapping area in the Gulf of Thailand (disputed area). Six blocks
offshore are under the operation and study agreement of foreign companies. Also, four
international Oil companies have been awarded four areas which cover 9 blocks in the
overlapping area between Cambodia and Thailand. In 1999, with cooperation between the
Cambodian National Petroleum Authority and JNOC (Japan National Oil Cooperation),
Cambodia has received airborne gravity and magnetic data (Mekong and TonIe Sap basins).
At the present time, the petroleum exploration activity offshore and onshore,
Cambodia has 9 international Operators to carrying out in block A, B, C, D, E, F, 12, 15 and
17.
Onshore Activities
Petroleum exploration activities onshore began in 1997. About 15,600 km of airborne
gravity and magnetic survey has been acquired over two basins (Mekong and TonIe Sap).
The work was successfully completed in May 1998, and Data display (processing and
interpretation) has been received early this year for oil and gas firms, and amount of 22
blocks onshore, 3 blocks of them as block 12, 15 and 17 has awarded to the international oil
companies to exploration and prospect study (prospecting license), and new airborne gravity
and magnetic survey will be starting survey in block 15 in the end of this year.
Offshore activities
The exploration by 2D seismic acquisition has completed around 17,000 km lines and
also about 60,000 km of 3 D seismic line were acquired in the Khmer basin from 1993-2002,
and 32 exploration wells were drilled from 1970-2010. 11 wells discovered in 8 trends of
block A (technical discovery not commercial discovery). By early this year, Chevron was
committed to carrying out about three appraisal and exploration wells and PTTEP one
exploration well.
As far as offshore oil and gas exploration is concerned, the plan is for oil development
and producing of first oil in 12 December, 2012, in the APSARA field of block A. At the end
of this year Cambodian National Petroleum Authority will be issuing the Production Permit
to operator.
Since Cambodia became a Member Country of CCOP, CCOP has played an
important role in developing Cambodian human resources in order for Cambodia to engage
with the petroleum industry. Every year, Cambodia has taken part in many CCOP sponsored
projects. In this year, around ten personnel of the Cambodian National Petroleum Authority
were invited by CCOP to participate in EPPM workshops in Southeast Asia CCOP’s Member
Countries. It is hoped that we will participate in the Evaluation Petroleum Policy and
Management projects (EPPM) in year 2010 and beyond.
2.3 Proposed Future Activities and Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future
Activities
With its strategy for the management and promotion of the petroleum industry in
Cambodia, the Cambodia National Petroleum Authority has identified several important
activities, especially the feasibility study of petroleum exploration, development and
management, including:

international communities, especially from CCOP, to provide more training, workshops and
feasibility study projects for our personnel in order for them to be capable of administrating
and managing oil and gas industry affairs in the future. All kinds of training, workshops,
bilateral seminars and technical expert assistance from CCOP are needed. CCOP assistance
will be required for many of the above activities.

2. ENERGY PROGRAMME
2.1 Summary
By the end of 2009, the accumulative oil reserves in China were 30.25 billion tons
and those of natural gas were 8.61 trillion cubic meters. The remaining oil reserves were
2.949 billion tons and natural gas 3.71 trillion cubic meters.
In 2009, proved geological reserves of about 1308 million tons of oil were discovered
an increase of 16.1% year on year. Two fields reported more than hundred million tons of oil
in newly-found proved geological reserves; the Ta He Oil Field of Sinopec and Hua Qing Oil
Field of CNPC.
In 2009, 773.65 billion cubic meters of natural gas were in newly-found proven
geological reserves, an increase of 46% year to year; and 386.16 billion cubic meters of
natural gas in newly-found proven technical recoverable reserves. More than one hundred
billion cubic meters of natural gas in newly-found geological reserves from Changqing Sugeli
Gas Field of CNPC, Tarim Gas Field of CNPC, Hechuan Gas Field and Xinchang Gas Field
in Sichuan basin were proved.
China’s crude oil production in 2009 was 1.88 hundred million tons, a decrease 0.7%;
and gas production was 84.07 billion cubic meters, an increase of 8.5 %.
2.2 Annual view of technical programmes/activities
2.2.1 Activities of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC)
A. Exploration and production
CNPC is the largest oil and gas producer and supplier in China. Its oil and gas
exploration and development are mainly in Northeastern, Northwestern, Southwestern and
North China. In 2009, CNPC made a number of important discoveries in the main
petroliferous basins such as Songliao, Erdos, Tarim, Junggar, Sichuan and Hailar. Among
these, two oilfields with proven reserves of more than 100 million metric tons and three gas
fields with reserves of more than 100 billion cubic meters were identified.
In 2009, CNPC produced 103.13 million metric tons of crude oil and 68.30 billion
cubic meters of natural gas in China. Especially natural gas has become a new economic
growth point and profit source among the main businesses of the company. Natural gas
output in the four major gas provinces - Tarim, Changqing, Sichuan and Qinghai experienced sustained growth. For example, the Changqing Field, which becomes the second
largest oil/gas field in China, is located in the Erdos Basin and was discovered in 1970. It
enjoys the fastest growth- rate for oil and gas production in China in the past decade. In 2009,
Changqing’s oil and gas production exceeded 30 million metric tons of oil equivalents
making China’s second largest oil field. 3-D exploration stimulated the rapid development of
Changqing which featured the fast growth in both reserves and production. It took the oilfield
33 years to raise its annual output to 10 million metric tons, four more years to reach 20
million metric tons, and only two more years to achieve 30 million metric tons.
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
Manado, Indonesia, 17-21 October 2010

CCOP Technical Secretariat
Thanks to the promotion of an efficient development model for ultra-low-permeability
oil reservoirs and the Sulige gas field, Changqing has experienced more efficient
development and increased production. After many years of research and work, Changqing
has overcome technical difficulties in tapping oil effectively from reservoirs with the
permeability of 1 millidarcy and 0.5 millidarcy, and achieved significant progress in the
research and development of exploitation technologies for reservoirs with a permeability of
0.3 millidarcy, with characteristics of sedimentary facies of most fluvial delta deposits.. At
the same time, 17 technologies in five series were honed, such as quick reservoir evaluation,
advanced mild water-flood, multi-stage fracturing, surface process optimization and
simplication, and low-cost drilling and extraction, resulting in better-than-expected yield per
individual well. An integrated technical solution for the effective development of low
abundance, low permeability and low output reservoirs has been worked out in Changqing to
facilitate the rapid development of natural gas.
B. Joint Exploration and Development with foreign oil companies in China
Authorized by the Chinese government, CNPC cooperated with other international oil
companies in developing domestic oil/gas resources. These blocks and projects are mainly
located in Daqing, Jilin, Liaohe, Dagang, Changqing, Sichuan and Xinjiang, and involve risk
prospecting, complex oil/gas field development, offshore exploration and development,
unconventional oil/gas resources development. For example, in the Changbei Project, located
in the Erdos Basin and covering an area of 1,690.72 square kilometers, Shell is the CNPC’s
partner and also the operator of the project. The Changbei project started commercial
production in March 2007. By the end of 2009, there were 21 dual-lateral horizontal wells in
operation, with the cumulative production of 7.70 billion cubic meters. In 2009, Changbei
block produced 3.32 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
C. Overseas oil and gas exploration
In 2009, a number of important discoveries were made in Niger, Chad, Algeria, the
Pre-Caspian region of Kazakhstan, the right bank of Amu Darya of Turkmenistan, the
Karakul Block and Kara-Dzhida of Uzbekistan, as well as Block 3/7 in Sudan.
D. Oil and Gas Exploration and Development Technology
In oil and gas exploration, CNPC concentrated its R&D resources on theoretical and
technological research associated with lithostratigraphic reservoirs, foreland basin,
carbonatite of marine-facies, natural gas, and fine exploration in the Bohai Bay Basin. New
achievements in joint-sheet processing of super-large-area 3D seismic data laid a foundation
for proving the overall mass reserves in the Qikou sag. In the Qaidam Basin, CNPC gained
new insights into the main controlling factors of reservoir formation and the mechanism of
biogas genesis. CNPC developed the matching technologies for exploration, including jointsheet fine processing of 3D seismic data in the complex southwestern region of the basin,
seismic prediction of gas reservoirs in the Quaternary loose sands of the Sanhu region, and
well-logging appraisal and fluid identification in complex reservoirs. Important progress in
seismic prediction and fluid identification of fracture-cave reservoirs in carbonatite of
marine-facies included new knowledge gleaned concerning the formation mechanism of deep
carbonate reservoirs, and a preliminary technology for quantitative description of karst and
reef beach reservoirs. Our modeling and imaging technologies for complex thrust-folds in
foreland basins also saw remarkable progress. A “stepwise” reservoir formation mode was
formed for deep structures in foreland thrust-fold belts.
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
Manado, Indonesia, 17-21 October 2010

CCOP Technical Secretariat
In oil and gas field development, CNPC carried out theoretical and technological
research on matching technologies for improving the development effects in high-water-cut
oilfields, tertiary recovery for EOR, efficient development of extremely low permeability
reservoirs, effective development of ultra heavy oil, and natural gas development.
E. The seminar on non-structural oil and gas reservoirs jointly organized by
CNPC and CCOP
The seminar on non-structural oil and gas reservoirs and unconventional resources
was jointly organized by CNPC, CCOP, Petrad , MLR and CGS in Dalian, China on August
24 to 27, 2009. The topics of the seminar were mainly focused on lithological and
stratigraphic reservoirs, unconventional resources and their exploration theory, method and
technology, as well as appraisal. More than 76 participants from CNPC, SINOPEC, CNOOC,
MLR, CGS, universities and research institutes attended the seminar.
F. Proposed future activities and assistance required from CCOP in support of
future activities
-NoneG. The seminar on global depositional evolution and petroleum system events of
main foreland basins will be jointly organized by CNPC and CCOP
A seminar on global depositional evolution and petroleum system events of main
foreland basins will be jointly organized by CNPC and CCOP in Fujian Province in
November 2010. The contents of the seminar mainly include the global distribution of
foreland basins and their oil and gas prospect; the depositional evolution and petroleum
system events in the foreland basins of western Canada, North America; the depositional
evolution and petroleum system events in the foreland basin of the Andes, South America;
the depositional evolution and petroleum system events in the foreland basin of Zagros,
Middle East; and the depositional evolution and petroleum system events in he other foreland
basins.
The possibility of joint research in the Ordos basin will be developed on the basis of
the seminar.
2.2.2 Activities of SINOPEC
A. Exploration and production
In 2009, SINOPEC achieved significant exploration progress by investing more
resources in exploration and identifying more traps for future use. SINOPEC acquired 2D
seismic data of 14,515 km and 3D seismic data of 11,069 km; completed 570 exploration
wells with a total length of 1,643 km; added 2.89 billion tons of original oil in place (OOIP)
and 176.3 billion cubic meters of original gas in place (OGIP). SINOPEC also found 36.4
billion tons of economically recoverable oil and 48.9 billion cubic meters of economically
recoverable gas.
In short, SINOPEC made one important breakthrough, significant progress in four
areas and four oil/gas discoveries. Thus, the resource base in eastern China was strengthened;
the increase of reserves and production accelerated in western China and the development of
gas was advanced in southern China.

CCOP Technical Secretariat
SINOPEC made an important breakthrough in gas exploration in middle-shallow
strata in the northeastern Sichuan Basin, where there is great potential with gas reserves over
100 billion cubic meters, and four areas of significant progress, such as (1) significant oil
exploration progress with 125 million tons of OOIP in the Tuoputai area, Tarim Basin; (2)
important progress in exploring hydrocarbons in subtle reservoirs such as bench sandbar,
glutenite and buried hills, an increment of 100 million tons of OOIP each year has been kept
for the past 27 years in the Jiyang Depression; (3) significant gas exploration progress in the
Western Sichuan Depression where 28 wells were drilled and 11 wells flowed commercial
gas , and (4) important marine gas exploration progress in the Yuanba area, northeastern
Sichuan Province, where the gas-bearing acreage was extended.
SINOPEC also made four oil/gas discoveries, such as commercial oil flow in the
Chagan sag in Erlian Basin; high-rate oil flows in the lithologic reservoirs in the Chengbei
sag in Jiyang Depression; high-rate oil flows in deep depression zones in the Biyang sag of
Nanxiang Basin; and a breakthrough in exploration and commercial oil flow in the Jingsha
Formation of the Jiangling sag in Jianghan Basin.
In addition, SINOPEC carried out the resource assessment of coal-bed methane and
conducted related pilot experiments as well as some pre-drilling research on shale gas and oil
shale.
B. Oil development
SINOPEC produced 42.4 million tons of crude oil in 2009, an increase of 610,000
tons compared to 2008. Oil production is stable in the eastern provinces and increasing in the
western provinces.
For each segment, oil production from the eastern provinces increased slightly by
200,000 tons to 34.9 million tons and oil yield from the western provinces rose by 594,000
tons to 7.6 million tons.
In order to carry out the development of EOR technologies in 2009, five key pilot
experiments on EOR in the Shengli oilfield, the Henan oilfield and the Zhongyuan oilfield
were conducted. These experiments covered 19.4 million tons of OOIP and could increase
the recovery factor by 11.4 percentage points.
C. Gas production
SINOPEC’s gas development focused on the Puguang and the Songnan projects in
2009, especially for operation and optimization of development plans. Taking advantage of
integration of production and marketing, SINOPEC achieved goals of safe production and
stable supply and accomplished production and sales tasks.
The commissioning of the Puguang gas field began in 2009. The drilling of the 38
major development wells was completed with a success rate of 100%. The Puguang gas field
started commissioning on November 28, 2009 with a satisfying performance.
The Sichuan-to-Shanghai gas transportation project began commissioning in 2009. On
May 7, 2009, the first station of the Sichuan-to-Shanghai Gas Pipeline (SSGP), the Puguang
station, began to receive gas from the Puguang gas field, which indicated that the first phase
of SSGP was a success. The Sichuan-to-Shanghai gas transportation project includes the
exploration and development of the Puguang gas field, the processing of acid gas and SSGP
which connects Dazhou (a city at northeast Sichuan Province) and Shanghai. With an
investment of 62.7 billion RMB, the Sichuan-to-Shanghai gas transportation project is the

CCOP Technical Secretariat
fifth largest project in China after the Three Georges project, the West-East gas transportation
project, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and the South-to-North water diversion project. When this
project comes on stream, it will vary significantly contribute to improving China’s energy
mix.
Phase I of the Songnan gas field in the South Songliao Basin came on stream on
November 1, 2009. This project supplies 500 million cubic meters of gas to Jilin Province.
By optimizing deployment of development wells and increasing single well production with
horizontal wells, this project has achieved a good performance.
SINOPEC has also taken up its social responsibility in spite of various unfavorable
conditions. In the first half of 2009, hit by the global financial crisis, the domestic gas market
was very weak. So we had to limit our production of the Daniudi gas field in Ordos Basin by
shutting down some development wells. In the second half of 2009, due to frequent cold
weather, a shortage of gas occurred in many places of China. In response, SINOPEC
overcame many difficulties and produced gas with a full load for every gas field to meet the
domestic demand with safe production and transportation.
2.2.3 Activities of China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC)
A. Exploration and production
CNOOC is the largest offshore oil and gas producer in China. CNOOC has evolved
from an upstream company into an integrated energy company, possessing a high
performance core business and other related businesses along the value chain. The Company
is built upon synergetic business portfolios including: upstream (oil and gas exploration,
development, production and sales); mid and downstream (gas and power, chemicals,
refinery, fertilizers); technical services (oilfield services, offshore oil and gas engineering and
construction, logistics services); financial services; and alternative energy.
In 2009, oil and gas production of CNOOC reached 47.66 million tons of oil
equivalents, in addition 32 million tons of refinery and chemical products were produced.
By the end of 2009, CNOOC has proved net reserves of 2.66 billion BOE, including
approximately 1.67 billion barrels of crude oil and 5,944.0 bcf of natural gas. CNOOC
carried out oil and natural gas exploration, development and production activities in the
Bohai Bay, the Western South China Sea, the Eastern South China Sea and the East China
Sea either independently or through production sharing contracts with foreign partners.
Approximately 63.3% of the CNOOC’s net proved reserves were independent and
approximately 51.9% of its production came from independent projects; 33 production
sharing contracts with 27 partners were in force.
In 2009, CNOOC’s independent exploration in offshore China resulted in 15 new
discoveries and 11 successful appraisals, while its PSC exploration efforts resulted in two
new discoveries and one successful appraisal. Its main exploration achievements include:
multiple discoveries in the Shijiutuo Uplift area, which has become a new area for reserves
additions; the discovery of Jinzhou 20-2 North oilfield, representing another breakthrough in
Liaodong Bay; the successful expansion of the Yellow River Mouth trough, increasing the
size of its reserves; the successful expansion in progressive exploration at Weixi’nan; various
breakthroughs in deepwater exploration, including a new gas discovery of Liuhua 34-2 and
the successful appraisal of Liwan 3-1 gas field. Furthermore, the Kenli 10-1 structure was

In overseas exploration, the CNOOC holds interests in oil and natural gas blocks in
Indonesia, Australia, Nigeria and some other countries. In 2009, its exploration resulted in
two new discoveries and one successful appraisal. By the end of 2009, the company’s
overseas net proved reserves and net production accounted for approximately 17.6% and
17.4% of its total net proved reserves and total net production, respectively.
In 2009, the Bohai Oilfield produced 20.13 million cubic meters of crude oil and gas
equivalent, marking a great breakthrough in its history. This has laid a solid foundation for
CNOOC to realize the production target of 50 million cubic meters of oil and gas equivalent
in offshore China for the coming year.
In 2009, Liwan 3-1-2, the first appraisal well at the Liwan 3-1 structure with a water
depth of about 1,345 meters, was successfully completed. Its deliverability is up to 53 million
cubic feet of gas per day, and future deliverability is expected to reach over 150 million cubic
feet per day. The Liwan 3-1 structure is located in Block 29/26 in the Pearl River Mouth
Basin. The success of this appraisal well provided further evidence of the Liwan 3-1 as a
major deepwater gas discovery offshore China. The Liwan 3-1 gas field was jointly
developed by CNOOC and Husky Oil Ltd. (Canada), a subsidiary of Husky Energy Inc.
In December 2009, construction of the CNOOC Zhuhai Deepwater Engineering Base,
with an area of 2.95 million square meters and an initial investment of about RMB1 billion,
was started. It will be used mainly for the fabrication of deepwater offshore oil and gas field
facilities such as FPSOs, deepwater floating platforms and semi-submersible drilling
platforms, as well as research, development and manufacture of new products and supply
support for deepwater workboats. It marks a significant step in CNOOC’s march towards
deepwater oil and gas development.
“Hai Yang Shi You 981”, a 6th-generation deepwater semi-submersible drilling
platform and the first of its kind designed and constructed in China, was successfully docked
at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. on February 26, 2010, indicating that China
is among the leading offshore deepwater equipment manufacturers in the world. With a
maximum operating water depth of 3,000 meters and a drilling depth of up to 10,000 meters,
it is invested by CNOOC and is designed to serve multiple functions of exploration, well
drilling, completion and work-over in deepwater sea areas. Its deck area is equivalent to that
of a standard soccer field and its deadweight exceeds 30,000 tons. The distance from the
bottom of the platform to the top of drilling derrick is 136 meters, and the total cable length is
650 kilometers. Its total cost is approximately RMB 6 billion (about USD882.35 million).
CNOOC continued to keep its leading position in the Chinese LNG industry. LNG
production capacity was further increased on the basis of the Guangdong LNG project. The
Fujian LNG project and Shanghai LNG project were successfully put into production. The
Zhejiang LNG terminal project phase I was formally approved for construction and 3 LNG
filling demonstration stations were built in Shenzhen.
In 2009, CNOOC produced 1.9 million tons of urea, 809,000 tons of methanol and
442,000 tons of phosphate fertilizer, exported 483,000 tons of urea, and imported 570,000
tons of potassium fertilizer and phosphate compound fertilizer. The 800,000t/a methanol

results reached the international advanced level, for the southern Qinshui Basin CBM Field
providing a guarantee of commercial development.
In the CCS technology, CO2-enhanced coalbed methane recovery (CO2-ECBM)
technology is a worldwide cutting-edge technological development. This technology makes it
possible to develop deep coalbed methane resources and study carbon storage technology. It
will be a good way to reduce greenhouse gas and store carbon dioxide. Though the laboratory
study and field tests, the carbon dioxide adsorption-desorption characteristics of coal
reservoirs were studied a field CBM-well test was researched. Basic research on the
technology and micro-pilot test has been carried out.
The CO2-ECBM project was supported by Chinese government and Canada. In two
research projects,192.8 tons and 233.6 tons of carbon dioxide respectively were injected into
coal seams. These projects achieved good results.
By joining the NEZC project between China and England, CO2 injection can enhance
the coalbed methane recovery. China has also appraising the CO2 mothballing potential.
According to its tackling of the key problem of CCS technology, China has improved
the technology of CO2 sequestration and that of enhancesd coalbed methane recovery by CO2
injection, and has built up the appraising method and construction technology of a micro pilot

4.2 Annual Review of Activities
4.2.1 Geological Survey of the coasts of Bohai Bay
(1) This comprises continuous study of strata and geological structure in the coastal
lowland and shallow sea area emplaced since the Late Pleistocene. The drilling and
comprehensive study in 2009 was a continuation of the previous studies. In addition, a singlechannel seismic survey was carried out in the shallow sea area.
The Holocene strata composition and geological structure were further confirmed by
using sub-bottom profiler and borehole drilling during a 4-year-investigation since 2006. Late
Pleistocene strata and geological structure with ~100m thickness extend over 3,000 km2 in
the shallow sea of Binhai New Area was preliminarily understood.
Some palaeogeographical phenomena, for example the buried ancient channels of the
ancient Yellow River and other river, were found on a preliminary basis.
(2) Young sediment dating by 210Pb and 137Cs in the system of China Geological
Survey is carried out since 1999. More than 20 stations were added in 2009. Up to now, about
70 stations were obtained along the coast of Bohai Bay. The results indicated that Jiyunhe
estuary was a high accumulation area with an accumulation rate of >3cm/a, and the
secondary high accumulation areas are distributed as a band in the upper part of the intertidal
zone on the southwest coast of Bohai Bay. The sedimentary rate of the coastal lowland was
<0.1cm/a.
(3) The RTK (Real Time Kinematic) measurement was the third consecutive levelling
in 2009. The result was showed subsidence of the coastal lowland increased. Maps of the
isoline and subsidence centre distribution were drawn.
(4) The observation of groundwater level was carried out in Binhai Nea Area with an
area of 2,000 km2. The results indicated that a funnel has formed between Tianjin downtown
and Tanggu district, and the funnel was about 1.54-4m below the level in the eastern coast.
(5) By re-analysis of the leveling data in the intertidal zone of Binhai New Area, the
coasts with an elevation higher in the upper part of the intertidal zone than the adjacent
coastal lowland were found and height differences were calculated.
(6) Eleven storm surge records were collected in the west coast of Bohai Bay and
Binhai New Area in 2009, and the water levels were changed to the same elevation system,
National 85 Datum. The study indicated that water level records of the storm surges were
inaccurate because of the long term land subsidence. Six factors, including global
temperature rise, sea level rise, land subsidence, net increase of flooding level stimulated by
the sea level rise, mouth-channel effect and the reverse tilt of groundwater level were also
suggested.
(7) Maps of shoreline changes on the west and northwest coast of Bohai Bay with
millennial-scale, decadal and annual-scales were completed. The accumulation and erosion
area and time in the coastal lowland since the early and middle Holocene were preliminarily
identified.
(8) The surficial sediments composition and changes, together with heavy metal
pollution in the intertidal zone and shallow sea, were studied in 2009.

1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
1.1. Summary
Although the regulation of government on minerals and coal mines, as the
implementation of Law No. 4 Year 2009 which regulates the issuance of new mining permit
has not been completed, ming activities continue apace with existing permits. This may occur
either because the price of some commodities tends to remain stable or increase, or because of
government policies that are in transition. Gold and iron ore are commodites whose prices
have tended to increase, while nickel is relatively stable.
Resources and reserves of metallic mineral continue to change in response to
exploration and production activities of existing companies. Grasberg, Batuhijau, Gosowong,
Pongkor are still the largest contributors of resources, reserves and production of gold and or
copper in Indonesia. Soroako, Pomalaa, Weda Bay, P. Gag and Tanjung Buli are the largest
contributors of resources and reserves of nickel. Some locations of existing exploration
companies are still allowed to add metallic mineral resources and reserves such as
Tumpangpitu, Miwah, Sihayo, Papandayan and Lakuwahi (gold), Tayan (bauxite), Dairi (lead
and zinc).
Total resources and reserves of some metallic mineral Indonesia until 2009
is described in table below.

1.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
During the period mid-late 2009 until mid-early 2010, the Geological Agency as the
government institution in charge of doing an inventory and exploration of mineral resources
and the provision of preliminary data have been conducting investigations in some selected
areas with different types of mineral commodities such as minerals that have a content of
lead, molybdenum, gold, nickel, tin and iron.
Exploration activities for galena in Pasaman, West Sumatera founded a potential
source of galena with inferred resources based on geophysical interpretation of 288 634 320
tons with an average content of Pb 2.5693%.
Indication of mineralization encountered in the Waemese area, South Buru, Maluku
based on the results of chemical analysis of rock samples showed six grams of gold / ton, As
2.6 gr / ton and 5.7 g Hg / tonne. This sampled rock outcrop was sampled in a broad zone and
based on the results of chemical analysis, supported by mineragraphic analysis, temporarily is
estimated as a prospect to be researched further.
Rare metal found in soils in the area of Sosortolong South Tapanuli, North Sumatera,
was estimated as the result of weathering of granitic rocks to have an average thickness of 1.6
m. This was localized from interpretation of soil geochemical distribution of rare metal
elements with the threshold value for Ce> 1.7%.

In the area of North Luwu, South Sulawesi, two types of deposit estimated to develop
in this area are metasomatic contact and placer deposits. Alluvial gold deposits were found at
Dodolo and Tedeboek with hypothetical resources 0.107313 tons with a gold content of 50
mg/m3.
Based on the ore-forming zone, the metallic mineralization in Lebak district, Banten is
divided into two zones of mineralization represented by the bottom zone at Ciujung and
Cihinit area dominated by base metals with a mineralogical association consisting of
sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena, and pyrite and the upper zone of mineralization at G. Julang
dominated by precious metals with associated minerals gold and pyrite. Results of chemical
analysis of the lower zone at Cihinit indicated Pb content reaches 18.26% and 4.6% Zn and at
Ciujung area 11.98% Pb and 3.11% Zn respectively. While the upper zone has a relatively
high content of Au ranged from 8.5 ~ 39 g / t Au, and 6 ~ 66 g / t. Ag in association with
propilitic alteration, argillic alteration and silicification. Economically, the content of gold in
this region (G. Julang) has a potential resource estimated as 250,000 tons of ore.
In the border region of Nunukan Regency, gold mineralization was found at Seruyung.
Here the type of alteration and distribution pattern indicate high-sulphidation type with a
assemblage of alteration minerals comprising a silica core covered by advanced argillic
alteration consisting of the silica-pyrite-allunite grades to intermediate argillic broader form of
kaolinite.
The result of the investigation in Nabire Regency, Papua encountered a laterite nickel
deposit in ultramafic rock units and secondary gold deposits in alluvium.
As the result of the investigation in Gayo Lues, Aceh, molybdenum (Mo) was found in
Alur Putih with a total ore resources estimated as 5.585 tons, and galena in the Pepelah area
with 9.24 tons of resources.
In the area of Manokwari regency, Papua, tin and gold of greisen type were found in
the area of S. Moni (Duibay Village, Menyambou District). Gold of metasomatic type
mineralization is estimated to be prospective in the northern region where the indications are
known from the results of panning.
Metallic minerals prospects in Polewali Mandar Regency, South Sulawesi, are in the
form of gold, iron, and galena.
Mineral exploration cooperation with KIGAM entitled the Development of GIS for
Mineral Potential Mapping in Eastern Indonesia is still in progress towards its third year. GIS
training was held on 10 – 12 May 2010 in Bandung by Dr. Saro Lee, and field investigation
will be carried out on August 2010 in Flores Island.

D. Carbon Capture and storage (CCS) Study and Activity in Indonesia
In Indonesia, CCS is possible to be undertaken into several environments or ways in
terms of Geological storage, such as Oil and Gas Reservoirs, Coal Bed Methane Reservoirs
and Saline Water. The CCS-EOR seems to be one of the viable options in financing
demonstration projects, together with government support to render a CCS trust fund.
In order to assess the CCS and its potential combined with Enhanced Oil Recovery
(EOR) in Indonesia, LEMIGAS has conducted preliminary global storage estimates in
Indonesia. A recent study shows that East Kalimantan and South Sumatra region can be
selected as potential candidates for CCS projects as many depleted oil/gas reservoirs are close
to the CO2 sources of oil and gas industry and coal power plan activities. Another potential of
CCS project is in Natuna area in which a giant gas reserves with 70% of CO2 can be used as
CO2 source and then stored into saline aquifer or depleted oil/gas reservoirs.
Figure below indicates the Potential Area for CCS System Application in Indonesia.
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
Manado, Indonesia, 17-21 October 2010

CCOP Technical Secretariat
These recommended areas are based on the initial assessment of the prospect of CO2
storage in Indonesia’s geological formations, includes good reservoir characterisation and
geologically stable as well as existing infrastructure and low population density. It is
estimated that a CO2 volume of 38-152 million tonnes may be possible to be stored in the
depleted oil reservoirs in East Kalimantan region, and potential oil recoveries of 265-531
million barrels could be obtained. In South Sumatra region, a CO2 volume of 18-36 million
tonnes may be possible to be stored in the depleted oil and gas reservoirs with potential oil
recoveries of 84-167 million barrels.
Another possibility CO2 Storage is in unminable Coal, i.e. post production of CBM
reservoir can be also considered. Coal basins are found in Indonesia and further CCS
deployment can be introduced to enhance CBM recovery in the South Sumatra region that
contains abundantly Coal Bed Methane (CBM) resources. The Figure below shows the Coal
Basins in Indonesia.
To implement CCS, since April 2009 Indonesia became a founding member of Global
CCS Initiatives (GCCSI) led by Australia.
The event in conjunction with CCS activity is that there resulted in a launching
Indonesia CCS Study by the CCS Working Group & Joint workshop “CARBON CAPTURE
AND STORAGE IN INDONESIA” been held in Jakarta, on 10 -12 November 2009.
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
Manado, Indonesia, 17-21 October 2010

CCOP Technical Secretariat
The first Indonesia CCS Study, entitled “Understanding CCS Potential in Indonesia”
conducted by CCS Working Group has been presented. The study provided fundamental
principles and preliminary understanding of CCS potential in Indonesia that extend from
capture technology, transportation methods, subsurface geological storage and other key
elements.
The working group is comprised of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources,
Ministry of Environment, Indonesian State Electricity Corporation, Shell, Indonesian National
Committee-World Energy Council and supported by the British Embassy in Jakarta.
On the same occasion, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) and its
Agency of Research and Development for Energy and Mineral Resources (ARDMER), jointly
with the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation
(APEC) Expert Group on Clean Fossil Energy (EGCFE) held a Joint Workshop “Carbon
Capture and Storage in Indonesia”.
The workshop is a part of series of bilateral projects that currently underway among
IEA, MEMR and LEMIGAS to assist the Indonesian Government to increase capacity
building and identify ways to quicken the uptake of CCS key elements. A similar goal is also
owned by the APEC Expert Group on Clean Fossil Energy which aims at exploring the
potential of CCS in the APEC region, raising knowledge and awareness of CCS among
developing APEC member economies.
The workshop recommendation agreed that the commercial deployment of CCS
should be accelerated in Indonesia. Though significant challenges may occur if CCS is to be
successfully commercialized, i.e. the lack of appropriate long–term policy frameworks and
significant financial incentives to justify investment on early demonstration projects. The next
action is still needed by Indonesia such as: Detailed study of CCS; Capacity building
(Technological Transfer); International Funding Pilot Project; and Public support.
A Proposed Detailed CCS Study for action plan in Indonesia: (1) Geological Potential
Storage and Site Characterisation and Selection for both EOR and non–EOR, (2) Laboratory
Research on CO2 Storage in unminable coal seam (CBM reservoir) in Indonesia.
2.2.2. Geothermal
Indonesia is a country that has abundant geothermal resources. They are mainly
distributed along the Indonesian Volcanic Belts, however some are also associated with non
volcanic environments (intrusive, tectonic). By December 2009, there were 265 geothermal
locations on inventory with the total energy potential of about 28.528 MWe. These include
8935 MWe of Speculative Resources, 4551 MWe of Hypothetical Resources, 11704 MWe of
Possible Reserves, 1050 MWe Probable Reserves and 2288 Mwe of Proven Reserves. From
this, twenty six new working areas (WKP) have been issued by the Government, 7 WKP
finished tendering, 14 in bidding process, and 5 ready to bid. These areas include Jaboi
(NAD), Seulawah Agam (NAD), Gunung Talang (West Sumatera), Bukit Kili (West
Sumatera), Liki-Pinangawan-Muaralabuh (West Sumatera), Sipaholon-Ria (North Sumatera),
Sorik Marapi-Roburan-Sampuraga (North Sumatera), Rantau Dadap (South Sumatera),
Rajabasa (Lampung), Suoh Sekincou (Lampung), Tampomas (West Java), Cisolok
Cisukarame (West Java), Tangkuban Parahu (West Java), Ungaran (Central Java), Ngebel
Wilis (East Java), Blawan Ijen (East Java), Kaldera Danau (Banten), Guci (Central Java),
Baturaden (Central Java), Hu’u Daha (West Nusa Tenggara), Sokoria (East Nusa Tenggara),

Atadei (East Nusa Tenggara), Jailolo (North Maluku), Songa Wayaua (North Maluku),
Marana (Central Sulawesi), and Suwawa (Gorontalo).
Indonesia has a set of long term policies for development of geothermal energy, as
embodied in the Geothermal Development Road Map of 2004-2025. Indonesia envisions that
by 2025, about five percent of our national energy needs, will be met through the use of
geothermal energy. So far, Indonesia only used 1189 MWe of 7 locations of the available
resources. This total installed capacity is less than 3 % from the total locations. These include
375 MWe in G. Salak, 200 MWe in Kamojang, 255 MWe in Darajat, 227 MWe in Wayang
Windu, 60 MWe in Dieng, 60 MWe in Lahendong , and 12 MWe in Sibayak.
The geothermal locations are mainly still in the stage of inventory survey (142
locations or 53,58%). To increase the status of survey and to accelerate geothermal
development, in 2010 the Geological Agency conducts preliminary survey, detailed surveys,
heat flow survey, and core hole temperature survey. Preliminary Survey is conducted at 4
locations: Tali Abu (Kepulauan Sula, Maluku), Pasaman Barat (West Sumatra), Kandangan
(South Kalimantan), and Sanggau and Kapuas Hulu (West Kalimantan). Detailed Survey is
conducted at 8 locations: Bora (Donggala, Central Sulawesi), Lili (Polewali Mandar, West
Sulawesi), Tehoru (Maluku), Kapahiang (Bengkulu), Telomoyo (Central Java), Lainea
(Kendari, South East Sulawesi), Gunung Kapur (Kerinci, Jambi), and Arjuno Welirang (East
Java). Heat Flow Survey is conducted at 1 location: Limbong, South Sulawesi. Core hole
temperature survey is conducted at 1 location: Gunung Lawu (East Java and Central Java).
Beside the survey activities, we evaluate the geothermal prospect areas (Danau RanauLampung, Bonjol-West Sumatera, Gunung Endut-Banten, Lompio-Tambu- Central Sulawesi,
and Lesugolo-Eat Nusa Tenggara) and examine the characteristic of non-volcanic geothermal
resources in Central Sulawesi.
The Geological Agency participated in the World Geothermal Congress 2010 in Bali
from 25-30 April 2010. The Congress which had the theme: ‘Geothermal: the Energy to
Change the World’, was held for exchange of ideas and sharing experiences not only on
technical and financing aspects but also on the policy and global politics of the energy sector.
The Geological Agency also had joined cooperation during the fiscal year 2010 with the
Japanese goverment (JICA) in a master plan study of geothermal development in Indonesia.
Base on investigation by preliminary and detailed survey, geothermal prospects are
mostly concentrated in Sumatera (86 locations), Jawa (71 locations), Sulawesi (55 locations),
and the rest are distributed in other islands.
A larger part of geothermal areas in Indonesia (54,34%) are still in the stage of
preliminary survey. These areas need to increase status of survey by government, company or
collaboration with other countries. Particularly for those are of small scale and situated in
remote islands, the government has to be more involved in developing this kind of resource.
There were 266 geothermal areas up to June 2010 having 28,950 MW potential
resources. 204 locations (77%) associated with volcanic and 62 (23%) associated with non
volcanic. However, only 1189 MWe, about 52 % of proven reserve or + 4 % of the total
potential resources be utilized for power plant. The geothermal utilized for power plan are
located at G. Salak (375 MWe), Kamojang (200 MWe), Darajat (255 MWe), Wayang Windu
(227 MWe), Dieng (60 MWe), Lahendong (60 MWe) and Sibayak (12 MWe).

4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME
4.1
Summary
Indonesia is the largest coastal country in the world, having a marine territory of about
2/3 of the whole Indonesian territorial area, with a total number of 17,504 islands and a total
length of coastline of 94,623 km. Shorelines in Indonesia generally characterized by cliff and
rock comprises almost 60% of the total length. The others are characterized by reef, sand and
muddy shorelines. The totals muddy shoreline in Indonesia is at least 5% of the total length,
found in the eastern coast of Sumatera (at least 1500 km), in the northern coast of Java (at
least 350 km), eastern and southern coast of Kalimantan (at least 1500 km) and southern coast
of Irian Jaya/Papua (at least 1400 km).
During the fiscal year 2009 and 2010, the Marine Geological Research and
Development Center, Energy and Mineral Resources Research and Development Agency,
have conducted coastal geological surveys of the Cipunegara Delta, Pamanukan, West Java,
Northertn coast Java.
4.2
Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
Coastal Geological Survey of Cipunegara Delta, Pamanukan.
Geologically, the northern coast of Java which is extends eastward from Sunda Strait
to Surabaya, is a part of the extensive coastal lowland belt mainly built up from
unconsolidated clay and sand. This material is derived from fluviatile (flood plain and channel
deposits) and marine sediments (beach and beach ridge; mangrove swamp; near shore; and
shallow marine deposits deposits), which have been deposited since 6000 years ago with
some beach ridges widening to a deltaic plain.
The problematic and interesting phenomena in this area mainly comes from the
geological aspects and human pressure on the environment. The coastal environments under
study here are on the both land and the marine side. Rapid development along the northern
coast of Java is currently in need of coastal zone management plans as the fastest growing of
the city coastal areas in the northern coast of the island require land resources. Land
requirements will be increasing in the future, and an integrated study of coastal zone and
marine geohazards should be undertaken.
Recently a case study in the Cipunegara Delta and its surroundings has been
undertaken in relation to its environments and their geological hazards. The Cipunegara has a
catchment of about 1,450 square kilometres, with mountainous headwater regions, carrying
relics of a natural deciduous rain forest and extensive tea plantations; a hilly central
catchments with teak forest, rubber plantations, and cultivated land; and a broad coastal plain
bearing irrigated ricefields. The river meanders across this plain, branching near Tegallurung,
where the main stream runs northwards and a major distributary, the Pancer, flows to the
north-east. Aerial photographs taken in 1946, shows that subsequent further advance on the
Pancer delta, and continued smoothing of the former delta lobe to the west has taken place. It
confirmed this sequence with reference to the pattern of beach ridges truncated on the eastern
shores of Ciasem Bay and the 1976 Landsat pictures show that a new delta has been built out
to the north-east. This delta formed after the new northeast channel was built in 1960 to avoid

flooding in the region by the river. Along the coast of Cipunegara delta, the mangrove fringe
(mainly Rhizophora) has persisted on advancing sectors but elsewhere has been eroded or
displaced by the construction of fishponds. There has been widespread removal of mangroves,
in the course of constructing tambak (brackishwater fishponds) in this area starting 1990s, and
with lack of sedimentation in places these are being eroded such as shown along the coast of
Pondok Bali to the Muara Pancer Wetan. The other factor which is an influence on this area is
the subsidence as shown in the seismic reflection profile and sea level fluctuation with ranges
between 9-15 mm/year (based on tide analysis and altimetry satellite data/TOPEX/Poseidon
and JAS-1). Earth.google 2009’s image shows that the newly build northeast delta has
advanced more to the Java Sea and developed 5400 m since 1960 from the Dutch coast of
1942, indicating at least 108 m/year advance.
In order to reconstruct an updated shoreline migration history at annual scale in the
Cipunegara delta and its surroundings, we have recently compiled and calculated the available
data which shows that it is a dynamic area where the shoreline accretion and abrasion can be
found in some places. This is due to the changing of river channels and lack of sediment
distributed to the sea.
Coastal characteristics of the study area can be divided into two types such as sandy
beach and muddy beach. The sandy beach type can be found in the eastern part of the study
area and in Pondok Bali. This is a typically an erosion shoreline with mud deposit of flood
plain found in some places. The muddy beach type can be found along the Cipunegara delta
where good mangrove growth acts as an accretion shoreline. The sea bottom sediments
distribution in this area is also divided into two types such as muddy sediment which can be
found almost in the whole of map area and sandy mud found only in some places. The
bathymetric data shows that the sea bottom morphology is relatively low angle close to the
river mouth of Cipunegara with some places nearly flat with the depth ranges between 2.5 m
to 20 m.

and to provide a volcano early warning system. Instrumentation and methods of monitoring
are always developed. In addition, volcano hazard zone mapping and inventory of potential
locations for volcano tourism were also done.
Earthquake and tsunami mitigation has involved quick responses on earthquake and
tsunami disasters, mapping of earthquake and tsunami susceptibility, monitoring of
earthquake from internet and other mass media, determination of active fault, mapping of
ground amplification, investigation on tsunamigenic earthquakes, and also establishment of a
database of destructive earthquake in Indonesia.
Digital maps concerning earthquake mitigation include maps of earthquake hazard
area in Bali, Yogyakarta, Sukabumi, and Lombok, NTB, map of tsunami hazard area in
Banten and Lampung, also a database of destructive earthquake in Indonesia for period 1629
– 2008, were published.
The landslide program has conducted quick responses on landslide disasters, mapping
of landslide susceptibility, monitoring of landslides on the vital area, survey of landslide and
slope stability on the vital road lane, landslide early warning system and also establishment of
a database of destructive landslides in Indonesia.
Digital maps concerning landslide mitigation including landslide susceptibility map of
Indonesia, landslide susceptibility map of west Java, landslide susceptibility map of Centre
Java Province, landslide susceptibility map of Situbondo, East Java Province, landslide
susceptibility map of Turen, East Java Province and also the landslide susceptibility map of
Kebumen, Central of Java Province were published.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY PROGRAMME
6.1. Summary
During the period of July 2009 to July 2010, the environmental geology activities
covered environmental geological study for landuse planning and regional development, also
environmental geology in some mining areas. The geological study for landuse planning and
regional development was done in the autonomy regions or provinces where they have a high
priority in development or the area that is indicated as having a high risk in change of
geological environment. Environmental geology surveys in mining areas were done in areas
where the presence of illegal mining and unreclaimed abandoned mines and quarries pose
potential environmental problems. Another activity related to the environmental geology
programme is the dissemination of environmental geological information to the provincial and
regency governments.
6.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
• The environmental geological studies for landuse planning and regional development
activities were done in the autonomous regions or provinces where they have high
priority in their development or the regions where a high risk in environmental damage is
indicated. They include the areas in which there is landuse development and spatial
planning undertaken without consideration of geological phenomena. The activities
resulted in environmental geological maps, Quaternary geological maps, neotectonic
maps and reports of geology. In this fiscal year, this activity has been carried out in the
provinces of Central Java, East Java, Bali, South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, Jambi,
and Aceh.
• Environmental geology surveys in the mining areas were undertaken in North Sumatra,
West Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, Jambi, and West Nusatenggara. This activity results
in some recommendations for spatial and landuse planning of abandoned mines and
reclamation and rehabilitation of pits and quarries.

7. GEO-DATA AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME
7.1. Summary
Under the Geodata and Information Sector, the following activities were carried out
during the review period:
a) participation in the Geological Museum book project
b) development of geological information metadata
c) Updating of geological maps using satellite imagery technique
7.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
7.2.1. Geological Museum Book Project
The CCOP book entitled “Geological Museums of East and Southeast Asia” is aimed
to be published as a companion to the previously published “Geoheritage of East and
Southeast Asia” book (published in November 2008). Both of the books are attributed as a
contribution of CCOP to the International Years of Planet Earth (IYPE) global environmental
campaign to save the earth from worsening environmental degradation. The publication
CCOP Geological Museums in East and Southeast Asia was planned to be published for the
56th Steering Committee Meeting at Busan Korea, but due to certain circumstances, it has
been rescheduled to be launched on the 57th CCOP Annual and 56th Steering Committee
Meeting in October 2010 in Manado, Indonesia.
Concurrent with rapid development of geosciences and increasing public demand on
geological information to be used for many purposes, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral
Resources (MEMR) has developed some geological museums in several areas with specific
and important geological heritage sites. These newly built thematic geological museums will
complete the networking of existing Geological Museum of Indonesia in Bandung. The
philosophical background to the decision to develop geological museums is an understanding
that such museums will play an important role as an effective educational facility for the
dissemination of geological information related to natural resources, environment and
hazards.
Nowadays, there are eight museums that can be regarded as geological museum in
Indonesia, as follows:
1. Geological Museum of Indonesia in Bandung West Java
2. Ketep Volcano Museum in Magelang, Central Java
3. Batur Volcano Museum in Bangli, Bali
4. Merapi Volcano Museum in Sleman, Yogyakarta
5. Karst Museum in Wonogiri
6. Aceh Tsunami Museum, Banda Aceh, Nangroe Aceh Darusalam
7. Gawitra Oil and Gas Museum, Jakarta
8. Sangiran Geoarcheological Museum, Sragen, Central Java
The manuscript consisting of the description of these geological museums completed
with related illustrations and maps has been edited by the assigned editors of the CCOP
Technical Secretariat.

Analyses of satellite imagery for geological map updating and database
Integrated IFSAR, SRTM, LANDSAT ETM 7, ASTER satellite imagery
interpretation in Sulawesi, Maluku and Nusa Tenggara for geological map updating from
1:250.000 to 1:50.000 scale. Combination between IFSAR and SRTM data is useful to
determine morphology and geological structure. These data are integrated with active satellite
data acquisition (LANDSAT and ASTER) to be able to analyze lithological aspects. The
geological map produced using satellite imagery analyses is controlled by secondary data
research, conventional mapping and field checking. Using the above techniques, updating of
the 1:250.000 geological map to more detail geological map at scale 1:50.000 can be done
accurately. It is targeted to have 740 sheets completed for Sulawesi, Maluku, Bali and West
Nusa Tenggara in 2010.

GEO-RESOURCES SECTOR
1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
1.1 Summary
By early 2010, almost all metal prices had already recovered to or exceeded those
existing before the economic crisis in 2008. The demand of critical metals such as rare-earthelement (REE) and lithium has been gradually increasing due to the recovery of business
conditions, and the concerns about the future deficiency of the supply of critical metals that
pervades the relevant Japanese industries. On the basis of this background, the public and
private sectors of Japan have actively explored new critical metal deposits worldwide to
obtain their resource interests during 2009 and 2010. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and
Industry (METI) of Japan has aggressively taken diplomatic and budgetary measures to
support the activities above.
1.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
In AIST, similarly to the last two years, the Rare Metal Task Force has conducted
integrated research for material recycling technology, usage-saving technology, the
development of alternative materials, and mineral exploration (Ref. 1).. The mineral
resources research group of the Institute for Geo-Resources and Environment (GREEN) has
been in charge of the mineral exploration, and are continuously conducting following three
programs: 1) study on the concentration mechanism of rare metals and resource evaluation, 2)
the construction of mineral resources database, and 3) international cooperation and
consulting on mineral resources.
For a REE program, the group has conducted the three-year joint project (2007-2009)
of rare earth potentiality in South Africa and other areas with the cooperation of the Council
for Geoscience of the Republic of South Africa (CGS) and the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals
Corporation (JOGMEC). The joint project will be extended by an extra two years based on
mutual agreement.
Figure 1-1 CGS-AIST-JOGMEC
joint survey for REE deposits in
South Africa.
The group, with the University of Tokyo, Kyushu
University and other universities in Japan, has also
conducted a four-year project (2007-2010) for the study
of concentration mechanism and potential evaluation of
heavy REE and indium in the CCOP region with a grant
from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. Of
the projects, the study on REE deposits related to
alkaline igneous rocks and carbonatites in South Africa
was largely progressed (Figure 1-1), and part of the
results are applying for a practical metallurgical program
by private sectors. The group will publish the
1:5,000,000 geologic map of Asia in the late 2010, and
is preparing to publish the 1:3,000,000 mineral resources

map of the central Asia in 2011. GREEN has also conducted a project for the development of
electric exploration techniques (MT and AMT methods) for bentonite deposits in Japan, and
is getting fair results for some deposits in northeastern Japan.
1.3 Other Organizations and Private Companies
In 2009FY, METI took budgetary measures of some 100 million USD for the
securement of stable mineral supply, and 10 million USD for the survey of seafloor
hydrothermal ore deposits. Those budgetary programs are being conducted mainly by
JOGMEC and its subcontractors, and they have carried out mineral exploration programs
worldwide, especially in northern Vietnam, central Asia, Canada, the United States, and
Australia: the targets are mainly base-metal, Li and REE.
Major trading companies and their group companies have also actively invested in
mineral exploration and exploitation programs mainly in South Africa, Australia, and Latin
America: the targets are REE, Li, Ni, Co, PGE, Cu and Fe. The overseas programs above
have been mostly operated as joint-ventures with local companies.
The Society of Resource Geology (SRG) held two symposia related to rare metals in
early 2010. These are “New scope of resource geology; rare metals and rare earths” in the
Japan Geoscience Union (JPGU) Meeting in Chiba (2010.05), and “Lithium and Thorium,
their resources and uses” in the annual meeting of SRG in Tokyo (2010.06).

y
The installed capacity of geothermal power generation in Japan was 535.26 MWe in
March 2009 (Thermal and Nuclear Power Engineering Society, 2010).
The total electricity generation for geothermal energy in Japan during FY2008 (from
April 2008 to March 2009) was 2,765 GWh (Thermal and Nuclear Power Engineering
Society, 2010).
The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO)
continued Geothermal Development Promotion Surveys in four survey fields in FY2009.
Some ministry-level approaches of the development facilitation of the geothermal
resource were started. The Agency of Natural Resources and Energy (ANRE) set up a
committee concerning geothermal power generation in December 2008 and made an
interim report public in June 2009. The ministry of Environment (MOE) carried out the
Study of Potential for the Introduction of Renewable Energy to increase the induction
dose of renewable energy. Geothermal was included in this Potential Study as one of the
major renewable energy sources as well as other three, photovoltaic, wind, and medium
and small-scale hydro.
2.2.3.2 Research Activity in GREEN, GSJ/AIST
AIST's major research themes are (1) assessment of geothermal resources using GIS,
and (2) development of a hot spring power generation system. As the assessment study, AIST
carried out a refinement of the data published as a CD-ROM publication in March 2009. The
refined data sets were used in both ANRE's and MOE's studies (see 2.2.3.1.). As the hot
spring power generation study, AIST continued the cooperative study with the Geothermal
Energy Research & Development Co., Ltd. (GERD) under NEDO's grant. In this study, AIST
made estimation research of market scale of the hot spring power generation and also carried
out research on controlling scale formation from hot spring water.

3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME
3.1 Summary
The Groundwater Research Group of the GSJ/AIST is implementing five research
projects 1) coastal deep groundwater study, 2) study of ground coupled heat pump system, 3)
construction of hydro-environment map, 4) technical transfer for East and South-east Asian
countries, and 5) basic study for groundwater hydrology. We have completed three projects
as Phase I study of CCOP Project through 2005 – 2008. Study of laws and regulations about
groundwater in the CCOP area, network study of groundwater monitoring, and land
subsidence in North China Plane are now understood in the co-operating study on East and
South-East Asian countries.
3.2 Scientific Research Activities for Groundwater
Several subjects concerning groundwater problems have run in the group. The Coastal
Deep Groundwater Study is the intensive work in the projects. The movement of groundwater
in the coastal area is extremely complex, because the interface of saltwater and freshwater
and faults are able to lead the water to upward zone. The existence of upward groundwater
flow has some impacts on human activities, e.g. fisherman’s work, study of marine
biology/geomorphology and hydrogeology work to understand the total water cycle. In the
recent studies, people faced to the large scale water cycle including deeper zone over 1,000
m, for the Nuclear Waste Disposal study and CCS project of the government. We observed
the movement of the interface of saltwater and freshwater through the construction of a huge
tunnel at the coast, and made a water stability model including deep salt/fresh groundwater
by using the results of pF-tests. The coastal deep groundwater study is now very much in the
limelight.
The promotion of geothermal (ground-coupled) heat-pump systems is an invaluable
solution to reduce urban heat-island phenomenon in big cities and total CO2 emission by
saving energy and electricity. In winter, the heat energy of warm groundwater is used for
heating with a heat pump system of each house. In summer, the groundwater is handled for
the air conditioning. The energy in each season is stocked in groundwater, and the usefulness
is substantiated in recent studies. For cost-effective system designs, it is essential to get
subsurface information such as temperature profile, groundwater condition and its flow rate.
The mission of the group is to make clear the underground condition for thermal use, for an
example a map of heat exchange rate in the Fukui Plain was developed for a single ground
heat exchanger (GHE) model (Figure 3-1). The same study is also carried out in Bangkok,
Thailand, in collaboration with the Kasetsart University.
We also made the hydro-geological map of the country. The map gives digital
information in various kinds of hydrogeological understanding. Water quality, temperature,
flow condition, and water level have prepared in the information. The information of
deposited layers about Quaternary and Tertiary of the whole Japanese Island were analyzed

and the total volume of water was estimated during the last year. The information of the
water volume and flow rate analysis in each layer of the 60 groundwater basins, that is the
number of all Japanese major plains and basins, will be released in the new series of the
Hydro-Environmental Map.
Figure 3-1 Map of Fukui plain (left) and the heat exchange rate map (right)
3.3 Activity in CCOP
The CCOP had sustained the DCGM series, during two decades. The last project of
the DCGM series was a groundwater database project. The results of the project presentd the
situation of the groundwater resource in each country, the problems, and the future cooperative work to be carried out by us. Then we started the CCOP/GSJ Groundwater Project,
from 2005. We have completed three sub-projects in the Phase I study through 2005 – 2008;
the study of laws and regulations about groundwater in the CCOP area, network study of
groundwater monitoring, and land subsidence in the North China Plane. All are now better
understood as the result of the co-operative study.
For Phase II of the project, the Groundwater group has organized a groundwater
research project in CCOP from FY 2009 to FY 2012, for which the kick-off Meeting was
held on 1-2 October 2009 in Bangkok, Thailand. It was attended by thirteen participants from
Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines,
Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam and the CCOP Technical Secretariat. The meeting agreed to
release various kinds of hydro-geological maps including the latest scientific information to
end-users at the end of the project in order to dispatch the information of the CCOP area to
the rest of the world. It was also agreed keep contact through the internet for further
discussions concerning the project.
After the kick-off meeting, the CCOP-GSJ/AIST Hydrological Mapping under CCOP
Groundwater Project Meeting was held on 2-3 March 2010 in Bangkok, Thailand. It was
attended by 11 participants from Cambodia, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and the CCOP
Technical Secretariat. Participants confirmed plans to release hydro-geological maps of the
Chao-Phraya Plain, Thailand and the Red River Delta, Vietnam including the latest scientific
information. Moreover, the groundwater survey in Phnom Penh City will be conducted in the
near future. Finally, the participants discussed time schedule for the hydrological mapping.
The hydrological map in the Chao-Phraya Basin and the Red River Basin will be completed

by 2013, as the CCOP phase II Groundwater project. Procedure of the hydrological mapping
is as follows;
1. Preparing base map and hydrological data (~Mar. 2011)
2. Compiling hydrological data on the base map (Apr. 2011 ~ Mar. 2012)
3. Considering description of hydrological data (Apr. 2012 ~ Mar. 2013)
The next working group meeting is expected to be held at the 2nd Groundwater Phase
II Meeting. A training course using groundwater temperature data is expected to be held at
the 3rd working group meeting. The meeting of the mapping project was named as the
“Hydrological Mapping Working Group (HMWG).”

4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME
4.1 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
4.1.1 Coastal Environment of Okinawa Islands, Japan
One of the projects implemented by GSJ is the study of the coastal environment of
Okinawa Islands. The objective of this research is to better understand the relationship
between biogeochemical cycles and climate change at regional and global scales. The project
consists of the analysis of geochemical parameters including elemental and stable isotopic
composition of carbonates, as well as the investigation of biogeochemical processes and
paleoenvironments.
Corals offer rich archives of past climatic variability in tropical and subtropical
regions, where instrumental records are limited. The oxygen isotopic ratio (18O/16O) of the
coral skeleton (δ18Oc) is a function of both SST and the oxygen isotopic composition of
seawater (δ18Ow), which is related to salinity. In oceanic settings where δ18Ow is constant,
coral δ18Oc records SST variability. High-resolution δ18O records from long-lived Porites
spp. corals collected in the northwestern Pacific have been used successfully to monitor
recurrent El Niño events and a long-term rise in sea-surface temperature (Figure 4-1). In the
relatively high-latitude region of the NW Pacific, coral δ18Oc records are a good proxy for
SST because of the limited influence from δ18O-depleted rainfall. A century-long coral δ18Oc
record from Ishigaki Island clearly indicates decreasing trend of about 0.2‰, probably
corresponding to about 1.5°C SST increase in the area.
Our results are intriguing enough to warrant further data acquisition and attempts at
quantitative time-series analysis of coral records. Especially, high-resolution records have
potential for studies of the climate of the recent and distant past, including the middle
Holocene and earlier interglacial periods, which may provide partial analogs for the future
greenhouse Earth.

5.1.1.2 Studies on Seismogenic Processes
GSJ/AIST has been implementing research projects to develop a physically-based
method for long-term forecasts of inland active-fault earthquakes. For this purpose, we clarify
crustal stress fields around active faults, and perform computer simulations of earthquake
occurrences. A nonuniform stress field along the Itoigawa-Shizuoka tectonic line (ISTL)
with a length of about 150 km, central Japan, has been elucidated in terms of a stress tensor
inversion with abundant focal mechanism solutions of ultra-micro earthquakes. We have also
developed a prototype rheological model of subsurface structure of the Japan islands for
numerically simulating crustal stresses and deformation fields around some regions including
the ISTL area. The rheological structure model has been constructed by using many
geophysical and geological data, such as hypocenter distributions of micro earthquake, P- and
S- wave velocity tomograms, strain rates by GPS, subsurface temperatures at a few points
estimated from geological data, and so on. The model will promote a deeper understanding of
strain and/or stress concentration zones in the Japan islands and will be a starting point for
physically-based long-term forecasts of large inland earthquakes.

5.1.1.3. Precise Monitoring System for the Tokai, Tonankai and Nankai Earthquakes
GSJ, AIST has been monitoring groundwater in the Tokai area for earthquake
prediction since the 1970's. Given the “pre-slip” model indicating that slow aseismic slip
occurs at the tectonic plate boundary a few days before an earthquake, our network can detect
the groundwater level changes that may precede the occurrence of the Tokai earthquake.
However, the possibility of occurrence of the Tonankai and Nankai earthquakes has also been
increasing. In addition, recent studies have found that episodic slow slips, which resemble the
pre-slip, occur near the source regions of the Tokai, Tonankai, and Nankai earthquakes.
Therefore we have started constructing the integrated groundwater observatories in and near
the Shikoku and Kii Peninsula since 2006. Each of the observatories includes three wells that
monitor groundwater levels and temperatures, crustal deformation, and seismic activity. We
constructed 14 observatories by February, 2010. The detectability of ESS by the 14
observatories is shown in Figure 5-4. They can detect the episodic slow slips of Mw 6.0-6.5
in and around the source region of the Tonankai and Nankai earthquakes. Such precise
observation together with paleoseismological research on past Tokai, Tonankai, and Nankai
earthquakes will be useful to predict future earthquakes in this region.

5.1.1.4 International collaborative surveys on active faults and paleoseismicity
GSJ/AIST conducted international collaborative surveys on active faults and
paleoseismicity in Asian and Pacific countries, such as Indonesia, Turkey, and USA.
Mapping of an active fault and excavation of a paleo-faulting event were carried out on the
Lembang fault, west Java, Indonesia to contribute the evaluation of earthquake potentials
from active faults. We re-investigated the 1939 Erzincan earthquake segment of the North
Anatolian fault system in Turkey to study the faulting behavior through historical earthquake
cycles. We also performed the investigations of the 2009 tsunami along the coasts of
American Samoa, and paleo-tsunamis along the Sumatra Island, Indonesia to reconstruct the
histories of gigantic earthquakes along the subduction zone between the Eurasian and IndoAustralian plates. In addition, we have co-sponsored the Hokudan International Symposium
on Active Faulting held at Awaji Island, Japan in January 2010 in commemoration of the
15th anniversary of the 1995 Kobe earthquake. The symposium forecast the occurrence of
large earthquakes from active fault in time and space.

5.1.2 Volcanic Hazards
5.1.2.1 Volcano studies
The GSJ/AIST is studying volcanic and magmatic activities from a multi-disciplinary
viewpoint. The eruptive histories of active volcanoes were studied with radiometric dating
techniques and geological mapping. Volcanic activities of volcanoes, such as Sakurajima,
Satsuma-Iojima, Kuchinoerabu-jima volcanoes were assessed by monitoring ground
deformation, heat discharges, volcanic gas and the analyses of eruptive materials. The multidisciplinary project of Izu-Oshima volcano has been carried out on eruptive history using
trenching survey in its caldera, electromagnetic monitoring, and geochemistry.
Volcanological maps of Tarumae and Tokachi-dake volcanoes were published (Figures 5-6

6.1.1 Nuclear Waste Disposal
High-level radioactive waste disposal is the concern of various public and private
institutions whose websites are listed below and GSJ/AIST is actively supporting them
through geoscientific research outlined as follows.
The institute for Geo-Resources and Environment (GREEN/GSJ/AIST) is
investigating groundwater behavior along the saltwater-fresh water interface and developing
high-resolution geophysical imaging techniques.
The Research Core for Deep Geological Environments (DGCore/GSJ/AIST) has two
issues as requirements for the national regulation; studies for reviewing the validity of
preliminary and detailed survey results and studies for the safety assessment at the licensing.
In the former studies, concrete “safety indicators for judgment” will be devised to evaluate
whether the preliminary and detailed survey results by the implementer meet the safety
requirements stated in the Designated Radioactive Waste Final Disposal Act, while in the
latter the basic concepts for the technical judgment at the license application such as general
requirements for safe design and basics on safety assessment will be compiled and safety
indicators for judgment will be devised based on these basic concepts.

6.1.2 Soil contamination
In 2002 the Ministry of Environment enacted the Soil Contamination
Countermeasures Law to protect the soil from contamination and this has been amended in
2010. The law also urges the Japanese Government to establish a national fund programme
for the remediation of contaminated land when the cause of pollution is not clear and local
governments cannot identify the party responsible for the remediation. GSJ/AIST, together
with many private companies (geological consulting, mining, civil engineering, etc), have
been involved in these problems and conducted research and development. In the years after
the enactment of this law, more than several hundred cases of soil contamination were
discovered every year. Most of them require geological survey and corrective actions.
Therefore, we have concentrated on more practical and urgent countermeasures especially for
industrial environmental management. To ensure the smooth implementation of surveys and
countermeasures, GSJ/AIST started a geochemical mapping project for toxic heavy metals at
selected areas in Japan. The surface soil evaluation maps of “Miyagi” and “Tottori” were
published in November 2007 and 2008. The survey and chemical analysis are undertaken for
a soil evaluation map of ‘Toyama’. A geo-informatics project compiled many data and GIS
maps that are needed for environmental risk assessment, land utilization for industries, and an
intellectual foundation. GSJ/AIST intends these maps to be used as reference data for local
governments and various field of private industry and individuals concerned with land use.
An interdisciplinary program among five research units in AIST was being implemented
from 2002 to develop site assessment models and remediation technologies of soil
contamination. We have also developed a site-specific risk assessment system, which is
available for site assessment of contaminated land. A more detailed simulation system was
published and disclosed in 2009. The computer software, Geo-environment Risk Assessment
System (GERAS), has been distributed to more than one thousand companies and
institutions.

6.1.3 CO2 Storage (CCS)
CCS (Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage) is expected to be one of the most effective
CO2 discharge technologies and is discussed and planed in many countries. There are several
options for the CO2 storage but the sequestration in the ocean is hard to be planned because
the dumping of CO2 into the ocean is not permitted under the London Protocol. To suppress
the large amount of CO2 discharged into the atmosphere, geological storage in the subsurface
layers is the most feasible.
CCS is currently conducted by the injection of a large amount of CO2 from a large
emission source such as a power plant. An amount of 100,000 tons of CO2 in a year is being
injected into the depleted gas/oil field in the demonstration project of CO2 geological storage
in Japan. The project is promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI)
and is operated by the Japan CCS Co. Ltd. The project is now in the phase of the site
selection. There are three possible sites and the demonstration plant is not yet constructed in
2010.
The Geological Survey of Japan in AIST has the role of the development of the
support technologies and basic studies on the CCS demonstration plant and executes the
research subjects as follows.

(1) Improvement of the simulation technology
Numerical simulation is a powerful tool to understand the CO2 flow in the aquifer and
the reliable simulation result is obtained with an accurate geological model. To improve the
numerical simulation results we need a highly accurate model by history matching. The
history matching uses well data. The location of the well is, however, very limited.
The geophysical survey data cover the whole area of the CO2 geological storage and a new
numerical analysis method is being developed using the geophysical survey data to improve
the numerical model. Using this method we can make a highly accurate model. In 2009 we
studied the geophysical properties of seismic waves using rock samples where the supercritical CO2 is injected in the laboratory. Using these data we also developed the computer
code to utilize the reflection survey data.
(2) Geophysical monitoring technology
The basic study on rock samples in the laboratory experiment reveals that the seismic
wave velocity does not decrease in the proportion of the amount of injected CO2, implying
that a quantitative analysis of the injected CO2 cannot be expected by the seismic reflection
method. Combination of the geophysical monitoring methods is necessary to estimate the
amount of CO2 in the subsurface aquifer. An effective technique is examined using not only
the seismic wave but also the electric resistivity measurements in the field experiment with a
small amount of CO2 injection into a shallow well.
(3) Evaluation of the seal ability in the sedimentary layers
Geologic layers composed of sandstone and mudstone are observed in the geological
storage site. Sandstone is suitable as the storage strata for CO2 and mudstone is expected as a
cap rock because sandstone has larger pores in size and in number. Several mudstone layers
prevent CO2 from moving upward and detecting as a CO2 leak. The seal ability of mudstone
is dependent on the mineral composition, grain size distribution of the mudstone and so on.
We need these data to evaluate the seal ability in the storage site. In this sub-theme we
measured the capillary pressure in the artificial rock sample made by the sintering of silica
beads and made comparison between the theoretical and the measured pressures.

6.2 Activities of Other Institutions, Universities and Organizations
6.2.1 Kanazawa University
Kanazawa University concentrated its activities in the CCOP region in the second half
of 2009 and the first half of 2010 mainly in Cambodia as follows:
Two research programmes "ERDAC (Environment Research Development in Angkor
Region, Cambodia)" in cooperation with the Authority for Protection and Management of
Angkor and the Region of Siem Reap (APSARA Authority), Cambodia since 2006 and
"EMSB (Evaluation of Mechanisms Sustaining the Biodiversity in Lake Tonle Sap,
Cambodia)" since 2003 with Department of Geology, General Department of Mineral
Resources (GDMR) and APSARA Authority have been implemented during the period.
The ERDAC programme, in which nine Japanese universities and institutions have
been participating, aims firstly to evaluate the present state of the environment, namely
atmosphere, forests, ground- and surface-water and aqueous organisms, in and around the
area of the Angkor Monument Complex, and secondly to realize a pollution-free harmonised
environment between nature, monuments and people in the area. Because phase I of the

8.2 Geopark (Japan Geopark Committee, JGC)
The JGC was established in May 2008 and is the official Japanese organization for
evaluating candidate areas and recommending appropriate areas for registration in the Global
Geopark Network (GGN). The committee comprises specialists in various fields of
geosciences and is chaired by Dr. Kazuo Oike, the former President of Kyoto University, and
the Secretariat is the Geoinformation Center of GSJ. Geoparks have aroused interest in many
sectors in Japan and the Committee sessions are attended by representatives of many
government ministries. The JGC decided at its general session in 28 October 2009 to
recommend San'in Kaigan Geopark, which has been one of national geoparks in Japan since
2008, for application to the GGN. It was selected after careful scrutiny including
geoscientific presentations and field surveys by specialists from two areas recommended by
various communities and sources. JGC also authorized four areas as national geopark. The
four new national geoparks are Amakusa Goshoura Geopark, Aso Geopark, Oki Geopark and
Dinosaur Valley Fukui Katsuyama Geopark.
JGC is now assessing another three applications for national geoparks and two
applications for recommendation to GGN. GGN is now assessing the application from San'in
Kaigan Geopark.

2. ENERGY PROGRAMME
2.1 Summary
Regarding the hydrocarbon upstream activities, the R&D element is mainly carried
out by KIGAM, and the exploration and production operations are managed by the Korea
National Oil Corporation (KNOC). KIGAM has been conducting four hydrocarbon R&D
projects in Korea (Figure 1) and in countries abroad. KNOC has been exploring and
producing hydrocarbon resources domestically and in every part of the world including the
CCOP region.

2.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities
The research project ‘Exploration of Petroleum Resources on the Korean Continental
Shelf’ has been carried out by KIGAM. The main study area of the research from 2010 to
2012 is the Jeju Basin in the continental shelf of South Sea, Korea. In 2010, 2D seismic data
of 780 Line-km were acquired in the Jeju Basin (Figure 2). At the same time, OBS (Ocean
Bottom Seismometer) data of 135 Line-km were acquired in the area where the basement
structure is not clear in the 2D seismic data. To produce seismic sections, computer
processing is being conducted. Previously acquired data in the study area are also being
collected for data interpretation.
Figure 2. 2D seismic data of 780 Line-km were acquired in the Jeju basin
of the continental shelf of South Sea, Korea.
The 'Construction of a Petroleum Information System of the Korean Continental
Shelf' consists of the designing of the data model, development of software system, setting of
the hardware system and collection of petroleum exploration data. The petroleum information,
including well data, seismic data, maps and reports, has been collected from the offshore the
Korean Peninsula and integrated into the software system. The data will also be reinterpreted
and modeled to move to the database system. A Prototype system was completed in 2009.
The system will be upgraded and additional data will be collected and input to the system.
The ‘Cooperative Research for Overseas Petroleum Resources Information and E&P
Technology’ Project of the year 2009 has studied the petroleum geology of the 14 important
petroliferous basins of the nine countries (i.e. Algeria, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Columbia,
China, India, Indonesia, Yemen) and arctic area. The fiscal systems of three hydrocarbonbearing countries (i.e. Brazil, Egypt and Columbia) have been reviewed. The review of E&P
technologies has included geophysical characterization of the fractured reservoir, 4D seismic
monitoring, hydraulic fracturing, DME technology and so on. These data will be provided to
domestic private petroleum enterprises via an online petroleum information system.
For the 2nd Phase of the Overseas Petroleum Resources Project, KIGAM has
commenced the ‘Research on Petroleum Geology of Petroliferous basins and International
Cooperation with Oil/Gas-Producing Countries’ from 2010 through 2012.

With regard to the ‘Gas Hydrate Development’ project, a total of 6600 Lkm of multichannel seismic reflection data were collected by the Korea Institute of Geoscience and
Mineral Resources using the research vessel, Tamhae II. 3D seismic data was also acquired
for assessing the gas hydrate reserves near the drilling sites of UBGH-09 and UBGH-10. An
ocean-bottom seismometer survey was also carried out in the Ulleung Basin wherein UBGH9 and UBGH-10 sites are included. A 13 sites’ data set was acquired using 8 OBSs and R/V
Tamhae II. Analysis of the acquired seismic profiles associated with drilling data reveals
several distinct seismic signatures indicative of the existence of natural gas-hydrate in the
basin that is associated with vertically and/or laterally stacked mass-transport complexes.
Among them, the BSR associated with enhanced reflections is most commonly found over
much of the Ulleung Basin indicating a physiochemical boundary of gas hydrates overlying
free gas. In the Ulleung Basin, seismic chimneys are also characterized by velocity pull-up on
the seismic records (Figure 3), which appear to be caused by active migration of fluid gas
vertically into the gas hydrate stability zone.
Sediment cores obtained from the Ulleung Basin Gas Hydrate Expeditions were
analyzed for the following purpose: Identification of ground truth indicating presence of near
seafloor gas hydrate and gas flume; Estimation of index properties for environmental impacts
due to exploitation of gas hydrate; development of well bore stability model for gas-hydratebearing formation; characterization of methanotrophic microorganisms and dissolved
methane concentration; estimation of molecular biomarkers of methanotrophic
microorganisms, and so on.
Figure 3. Multi-channel seismic profile showing seismic chimney
associated with pockmarks.
On the other hand, KNOC has been conducting exploration and production of
domestic and overseas hydrocarbon resources including the CCOP region.
Domestic E&P: After commencing production at the Donghae-1 gas field in July
2004, another gas layer, designated the B5 Layer, with reserves of 42 billion cubic feet, was
discovered in early 2005. With the completion of the layer development in November 2009,
the company started the production of natural gas and oil by linking with existing production
facilities at the Donghae-1 gas field. During 2009, the overall production at Donghae-1 gas
field grew by 2 million barrels compared to the previous year, totaling 3.8 million barrels.

Meanwhile, KNOC drilled 1 well(BP-1X) to explore untapped oil reserves under the
continental shelf at Block VI-2 in the Jeju basin between November 2009 and February 2010,
and found oil and gas shows from Eocene sandstone. From January to July 2009, while
evaluating exploration potential on Block VIII in the deep waters of the East Sea through
joint operation with Woodside Energy Ltd. Australia, KNOC and Woodside jointly found
prospective resources and entered into the second two-year exploration period in August
2009 which is the first deep water drilling campaign in Korea.
Overseas E&P: Through its expansion strategies, KNOC is transforming itself into a
world-class national oil corporation with a daily production volume of 300 thousand barrels
and reserves of 2 billion barrels by 2012. KNOC took a step closer to these goals with the
acquisitions of SAVIA-Peru, Harvest Energy Trust in Canada and Sumbe in Kazakhstan in
2009.
In Exploration and Production, KNOC will stimulate the efficient and optimal
operation of its existing production fields by stabilizing the operations of newly-acquired
blocks and implementing an integrated HSE management system. The company expects an
annual and average daily production volume to reach 53.8 million barrels and 148 thousand
barrels, respectively, by the end of 2010. Moreover, the company's construction of production
facilities are continuing on schedule for the BlackGold oil sands block in Canada, the ADA
Block in Kazakhstan, and the Block 4 in the Yemen, as well as LNG production facilities in
Yemen.

3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME
3.1 Summary
KIGAM has conducted its work “Integrated technology development for securing and
applying groundwater resources to cope with earth environmental changes” as a basic project.
The research is composed of the following sub-topics: (1) vulnerability of the groundwater
resource and recharge characteristics in Geum river area, (2) managed artificial recharge as a
groundwater source security at Jeju and Nonsan-si and (3) prospecting for high-mineral water
and CO2-rich water in Jeju Island.
KIGAM newly commenced “Assessment of Sustainable Groundwater Availability
and Development of High Value Added Groundwater in Jeju Island” for sustainable and
higher value-added groundwater development in Jeju Island in October, 2009.
3.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
(1) Vulnerability of the groundwater resource and recharge characteristics in the Geum
river area.
Watershed scale vulnerability of the groundwater resource and recharge
characteristics were evaluated in response to climate change in Geum river area. Evaluation
of the changes in climate and land use in the past, measurement of base flow to evaluate

CCOP Technical Secretariat
groundwater recharge, analysis of long-term changes in groundwater level and quality,
lineament analysis, evaluation of the effect of climate change on the surface water, evaluation
of infiltration characteristics of contaminants, evaluation of vulnerability to contamination,
and environmental ecological evaluation were carried out in this study. A preliminary water
balance model was formulated to quantitatively evaluate spatial and temporal distribution of
groundwater recharge through the analysis of change in water balance induced by the change
in climate and land cover.
This study also focused on applying forecast methods for comparative analysis on the
vulnerability of groundwater to contamination in order to propose a standardized method to
forecast groundwater contamination. DRASTIC model developed in US EPA, M-DRASTIC
model upgraded from DRASTIC by Greek researchers, and a logistic regression model were
applied to the Geum river watershed, and forecast of each model was comparatively analyzed
and efficacy was examined using BOA (Buffer Overlay Analysis). Long-term monitoring of
water quality in alluvial deposit was carried out to evaluate how surface contaminants
infiltrate into the groundwater system, and the results showed that vertical change in water
quality was determined by geological conditions. Also, biological reaction to contaminant
(arsenic) was studied and an environmental ecological evaluation method was established.
(2) Managed artificial recharge as a groundwater source security
Managed artificial groundwater recharge has a great potential as a promising
technology to address the threat to water supplies posed by climate change. Two managed
artificial recharge application sites have being investigated and constructed at Jeju and
Nonsan-si. A modified aquifer storage, transfer and recovery (ASTR) method is adapted to a
site beside Han stream in the northern part of Jeju island to secure groundwater for future
needs and to mitigate a disaster from a severe flood. A protected cultivation system by
greenhouse capable of geological circulation of groundwater and rainfall artificial recharge is
conceptually designed and developed and applied to an artificial recharge site in the Nonsan
area.
The Jeju artificial groundwater recharge project, which directs water from seasonal
flash flooding into a volcanic aquifer, is being conducted in a high-elevation area at a site
adjacent to Han Stream. Jeju is a volcanic island composed of overlapping permeable
structures, such as clinker and scoria, and less permeable structures, such as tuff, massive
volcanic rock body and fine-grained volcanic material. Multi-depth injection tests were
performed during drilling to evaluate the unsaturated zone permeability above the regional
aquifer in the vicinity of the proposed artificial groundwater recharge site. Infiltration
characteristics indicate that the clinker zones more than 40 meters from surface would be the
likely most suitable for artificial groundwater recharge within the vadose zone. Mt. Halla is
situated at the centre of the island and the area above approximately the 600m contour is a
protected as national park that is good for source water quality from stream discharge
occurring in case of precipitation over about 80 mm/day. Jeju island has a very thick vadose
zone more than 100 meters in high-elevation area which is good condition to inject source
water through the vadose zone and then to naturally filter the injected water during long-term
transport. A Jeju-friendly aquifer recharge technology (J-ART) was conceptually designed
based on these hydrological, meteological, and geological properties. This artificial recharge
system using a reservoir adjacent to the stream could reduce the threat of flooding and secure
groundwater resources for Jeju Island.

CCOP Technical Secretariat
There are more than 150 clustered areas of protected cultivation with geothermal
heating systems using groundwater during winter. Most of the protected water curtain
cultivation systems dispose the used groundwater to nearby ditches, which is a main reason to
cause the groundwater level to decline. To solve this problem two basic element systems are
developed: geological recirculation system of used groundwater and artificial recharge
system of rainwater on the rooftop of greenhouses. The protected water curtain cultivation
system is designed for heating greenhouses preventing groundwater level decline from late
fall to early spring. Used groundwater is not directly sent to a ditch. Instead, it is injected
back to the aquifer through an injection well adjacent to the pumping well to prevent
depletion of groundwater resource, and to make continuous water curtain cultivation possible.
Rainwater on the rooftop of greenhouses during the rainy season is collected by rainwater
collection and injection system, and injected into the groundwater system to recover the
groundwater level that was lowered due to water curtain cultivation during the winter.
Rainwater collection and injection system is an appropriate method for the recent situation in
which natural recharge gradually decreases due to more frequent heavy rainfall for a short
duration which was known to be the typical precipitation pattern in Korea caused by global
warming.
(3) Prospecting for high-mineral water and CO2-rich water in Jeju Island
Groundwater in Jeju Island is known to have low-mineral contents due to high
permeability of volcanic rocks and high precipitation. Recent work shows high-mineral water
and CO2-rich water occur in some parts of the island. The new types of groundwater were
investigated for the mountainous area in the southwestern part of Jeju Island by integrating
the results from geology, mineralogy, hydrogeochemistry, electrical survey and borehole
logging. Lithologic evaluation for the three drilled-cores (BH, BH2 and BH3) revealed that
each core contained various lithologic units such as trachyte, trachybasalt, trachyandesite, tuff,
scoria with the minor presence of basanite and basalt. Thick tuff layers underlie at the bottom
of each drilled-hole. For Holes 1 and 2, underground water was labeled at the lithic clinker
layer on top of tuff layers. It is apparent that the occurrence of a lithic clinker layer on top of
tuff layers is a necessary condition for the existence of CO2-rich water.
Hydrogeochemical study on the mountainous area was carried out on the
southwestern part of the island. Regional study revealed CO2-rich water and high-mineral
water occurred in the area higher than 200 m, but only low-mineral water occurs in the lower
land. Groundwater was classified as low-mineral water, high-mineral water, CO2-rich water
based on mineral contents and PCO2. Water with higher mineral contents is estimated to
occur in narrow zone within 1 km and has various chemical compositions depending on
lithology. Resistivity survey was performed to identify the scale of CO2-rich water producing
zones. In the shallow depth, low-resistivity area was found, where upper groundwater mainly
occurs and trachytic rocks was also found. These complex structures suggest that highpermeable zones and low-permeable zones are mixed.
3.3 Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities
KIGAM has started new framework of 3-year project under the Ministry of
Knowledge Economy (MKE) which deals with groundwater resources in relation to climate
change. Any information on global or regional climate change needs to be shared and we
need the assistance and support from CCOP in relation to those subjects.

3.4 Assistance Offered to CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future
Activities
An international network is required to solve the groundwater problems in relation to
climate change, since it happens globally. Also, groundwater modeling coupled with global
climate change is required for the assessment of groundwater resources, for which we
strongly need the assistance from other Member Countries.

4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME
4.1 Summary
The government plays a major role in policy-making and execution of coastal zone
programs in Korea in order to secure and maintain national wealth and public welfare. Most
of the long-term national programs are conducted either by governmental sectors or by
government organizations. Representative entities of the former could be listed with the
Ministry of Land, Transport and Marine Affairs (MLTM), the Ministry of Knowledge and
Economy (MKE), the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MIFAFF) and
the Ministry of Environment (ME). Examples of the latter are the Korea Hydrographic and
Oceanographic Administration (KHOA), Korea Oceanographic Research and Development
Institute (KORDI), Korea Maritime Institute (KMI), Korea Environment Institute (KEI) as
well as the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM).
Large-scale coastal zone programs are also conducted in several areas by public
enterprises or private companies mainly through government investment. Korea Electric
Power Corporation (KEPCO), Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Company Ltd. (KHNP), Korea
Rural Community Corporation (KR), Korea Water Company (KOWACO), including major
private companies (Samsung, Hyundai, Daewoo, etc.) could the representative examples.
International cooperation programs are continued, and apparently increased, in order
to enhance academic achievement or to support the UN’s millennium goals. Most of the
programs are executed dominantly by the Korean International Cooperation Agency
(KOICA), the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST), MLTM and MKE
based on topic-oriented supporting projects.

geodetic surveys and tide gauges measurements
The KHOA has been making continuous surveys along the coastlines in order to
determine precise boundaries of Korean territory as well as to better use and preserve the
coastal zones. Information is acquired on changes of the coastline itself, sizes or characters of
adjoining environments, tourist sites, reclamation areas, wastewater release, land use, tidal
ranges, water depths and topography, which are finally collected in databases to be used to
ensure the environment-friendly development and use of our coasts.

4.2.2 Inundation risk area estimation based on precise elevation models in the
southern coast of Korea
Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data and digitized map data were
compiled by KIGAM with a geographic information system (GIS) in order to construct
digital elevation models (DEMs). The objective of the project is to supply local and regional
high-resolution topographic data so that the areal distribution under inundation risk could be
estimated for enhancing the storm-induce surge forecast of the Korean Meteorologic Agency
(KMA). KMA developed its own numerical forecast model to secure life and properties in
the coastal zones.

4.2.3 Sediment dynamics and beach morphology evolution along Korean coasts
Sediment dynamics of the mid-eastern Korean coast was studied by KORDI on the
basis of precise morphologic surveys using LiDAR and multi-beam echo-sounder data. The
characteristic coastal morphology and geology could show morphodynamic responses to the
local or regional hydraulic system. The results are expected to contribute to establishing a
sustainable management plan as well as to mitigate potential geohazards in an environmentfriendly way.

4.2.4 International training on coastal geology and geohazard mitigation for
human resources development in the Asia-Pacific region (GeoCoast)
KIGAM launched an international training course on coastal geology and geohazards
in order to support human resources development of the Asia and Pacific countries. The
course will be opened through the international school of KIGAM (IS-Geo) and is mainly
arranged for government staffs, researchers and students working in the geosciences-related
sectors. The in-house lectures will be made by distinguished professors and researchers from
various countries together with field trips to representative sites on Korean coasts.

4.3 Proposed Future Activities
As the influence of global climate change and its impact on human society increases,
the number and dimension of coastal zone programs is expected to be expanded. Because of
their spatial and temporal scope, either domestically or internationally, the government and
governmental organization will seemingly continue its main role to establish and execute
various projects on coastal zones. ‘Green’ issues together with globalization are also expected
to become more important motives to promote coastal zone programs especially on
management of coastal wetlands, renewable energy generation, shallow gas, CO2 storage, etc.
International cooperation and support programs either through UN or through nongovernmental organization would be enlarged mainly by government and government

5.2.1 Earthquake
KIGAM and the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) operate seismic
observatories in over 130 sites in order to monitor earthquake activities in the Korean
Peninsula and its vicinity. KIGAM is operating 8 arrays and 33 single stations (Figure).
KIGAM has been playing the role of the National Data Center (NDC) of Korea since 1996
related to Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT).

KIGAM replaced obsolete equipments at old stations in Gyeongsang Province so that
seismogram is transmitted to KIGAM in real time. In 2010, KIGAM installed one more
borehole seismometer at Chulwon area (Figure). The upgrade and new installation of the
equipment will improve the data quality for seismic study.
Figure: New borehole seismic station at Chulwon
KIGAM has been studying seismo-acoustic signals from various sources since 1999.
With the unique data base of seismo-acoustic signals for the last eleven years, KIGAM is
developing a technique of discrimination between man-made events and natural earthquakes.
An investigation on the relationship between propagation of seismo-acoustic waves and
media is another important issue on which KIGAM is focusing.
KIGAM has performed several R&D projects for seismic hazard mitigation. KIGAM
developed a real-time strong motion monitoring system for important infrastructures, such as
gas facilities, the international airport and the high speed rail system.
5.2.2 Landslides
KIGAM performed a research project to assess landslide susceptibility and
mitigation measures for a slope of coal mine waste. There is a landslide on natural terrain
with huge stack of coal mine waste at Dogye, Gangwon Province, Korea. Because the
landslide is located very near a residential area composed of 40 houses, it has a high potential
to cause huge damage to the civilians. It is supposed that the landslide has been occurring for
the past four or five years due to the large amount of coal mine wastes, as much as 3.2million
tons over an area of 0.5km2. The geologic hazards department performed detailed field
survey and field measurement to analyze the mechanism and the state of slope displacement
at the area and to suggest optimal countermeasures. For the field survey, detailed field
mapping for slope geometry and crack distribution was performed. The mapping data were
compared with old topographic data to recognize the current amount of slope displacement.
Seven boreholes were drilled to identify the composition of soils and rocks of the slope.
Slope movement was measured with field measurement sensors such as inclinometers,
tension meters and a laser distance measurement sensors. Groundwater level was also
observed to understand the relationship between slope displacement and fluctuation of
groundwater level. Based on the results of field measurements, it was revealed that the slope
has high movement velocity and continuous displacement along the boundary of basement
rock and soil. KIGAM plans to observe the long term behavior of the landslide and to suggest
optimal countermeasures to mitigate damage induced by the landslide.

In case of the research on manmade slopes, the Korea Institute of Construction
Technology (KICT) continuously constructs a database using the cut-slope management
system (CSMS).
5.2.3 Erosion and Sedimentation Disaster
KIGAM undertook fingerprinting of pond sediment to assess pond sediment sources
and their seasonal variation for a small mountainous catchment in central Korea. Source
fingerprinting of pond sediment was conducted using the fallout radionuclides. KIGAM also
have monitored and analyzed overland flow and soil erosion under different canopy species.

5.2.4 Seawater Intrusion
In Jeju Island, KIGAM studied the characteristic of the eastern coastal aquifer using
hydrochemical logs such as temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, and Redox, DO and
turbidity, and earth tidal data in seawater intrusion monitoring. Using the periodical data we
understood the change of vertical profiles of hydrochemical logs and the effects of earth
tidal variation.
Figure: The change of hydrochemical logs (left) according to earth tidal in borehole
JD-1, and time series of hydrochemical data (right) in the depth of 30 m and 90 m,

Korea Agricultural and Rural Infrastructure Corporation (KARICO) is continuing
operation of a National Seawater Intrusion Monitoring Network and long-term monitoring of
groundwater level, temperature and electrical conductivity in the coastal area. Currently a
total of 97 monitoring well all over the country are in operation, and data from them have
been accumulated and analyzed in a geostatistical approach.

KOICA INVITATION TRAINEE PROGRAM
7. Introducing More About KOICA Invitation Trainee Program
7.1 Summary of KOICA Program
The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) was founded as a government
agency on April 1, 1991, to maximize the effectiveness of Korea's grant aid programs for
developing countries by implementing the government's grant aid and technical cooperation
programs. In the past, development cooperation efforts were focused on meeting the Basic
Human Needs (BHNs) of developing countries and on fostering their Human Resources
Development (HRD). However, the focus has now shifted to promote sustainable
development, strengthen partnerships with developing partners, and enhance the local
ownership of beneficiaries. Additionally, global concerns such as the environment, poverty
reduction, and gender mainstreaming, have gained significant importance in the international
community. KOICA is striving to adapt to these changes by using its limited financial
resources effectively in areas where Korea has a comparative advantage. In particular, Korea
has the unique experience of developing from one of the poorest countries in the world to one
of the most economically advanced, "and know-how gained from this experience" is an
invaluable asset that helps KOICA to efficiently support the sustainable socio-economic
development of its partner countries. KOICA has 8 aid theme programs, including education,
health, governance, rural development, ICT, industry & energy, environment & gender, and
climate change. KIGAM’s Mineral Exploration and GIS/Remote Sensing Program
corresponds to KOICA’s Industry & energy aid theme, and that encouraged KIGAM to
provide 4 KOICA invitation trainee programs for mineral experts from 21countries over the
last 19 months.

JOINT COMMITEES FOR ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES
9. Introducing Joint Committees for Energy and Mineral Resources Cooperation
9.1 Summary of Joint Committees for Energy and Mineral Resources Cooperation
Korea is extremely sensitive to energy and mineral resources issues. The imminence
of scarcity increases potential threats to Korea’s economy and stable development of
industrial growth. The Korean government, quasi-government research institutes, and private
sector companies are fully aware of possible imminent crises, and to resolve and to relieve
the burdens of the lack of natural resources, the government is very actively engaging in
energy diplomacy among other developed countries. As for the first step to energy diplomacy,
agreements between governments are contracted for founding Joint Committees for Energy
and Mineral Resources Cooperation. The Korean government has contracted the agreements
with 32 countries so far, and those committees function as the primary channels between
Korea and partner countries to link public and private sectors inclusively, regarding mineral
ores and petroleum explorations and developments. With versatile investing and
collaboration channels, inter-contracts such as MOU with similar industries are encouraged
and expected to expand inter-cooperation concerning major resources. KIGAM supports Joint
Committees for Energy and Mineral Resources Cooperation numerous times, and assists
government’s energy diplomacy by attending with VIPs and high-level government
officiaries.

1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
1.1 Summary
The national programmes of mineral exploration and investigation, and mineral
research and development in Malaysia were mainly carried out by the Minerals and
Geoscience Department Malaysia (JMG). During the review period, reconnaissance mineral
exploration for metallic minerals, follow-up or detailed surveys over previously identified
anomalous areas and investigation of industrial minerals such as dimension stone, limestone,
feldspar source, construction and river sand, clay and other minerals were conducted in
various states. Coal exploration was continued in the states of Sarawak and Sabah. Research
programmes continued for clay, silica, rock, advanced materials, metallurgy, mining and
quarrying technologies.
1.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
1.2.1 Mineral Exploration for Metallic Minerals
Regional reconnaissance geochemical surveys were carried out mainly in the states of
Sarawak and Sabah. Surveys were also carried out in Kedah and Kelantan. The total area
covered was 2,720 km2.
Follow-up geochemical surveys were carried out in the states of Johore, Negeri
Sembilan, Perak, Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Sarawak and Sabah over a total area of
318.78 km2. Gold anomalies were detected in several areas in the states of Johor, Kelantan,
Pahang, Sarawak and Sabah. Several areas in Pahang had also shown tin prospects. A
significant amount of iron reserves were identified in Terengganu.
1.2.2 Industrial Minerals / Non-metallic Minerals
Reconnaissance and follow-up surveys for dimension stone, limestone, clay, feldspar,
sericite, construction sand and silica sand were conducted in several states of Peninsular
Malaysia and in the states of Sarawak and Sabah.
Coal exploration and evaluation was carried out in the states of Sarawak and Sabah,
covering a total area of 150km2. The coal evaluation study in Sarawak has successfully
delineated 3 coal seams with thicknesses ranging from 5.0m to 12.0m. Chemical analyses
show that the coal is of high volatile bituminous grade. In Sabah, various coal seams ranging
from 0.30m to 6.75m were encountered. The coal is also of high volatile bituminous grade.

1.2.3 Mineral Research and Development
The main scope of the mineral-based research and development projects was the
production of value-added items from local sources of silica sand, clay, kaolin, rocks and
advanced material from local mineral and metal resources.
The clay based research activities involved the states of Perak, Kedah, Kelantan,
Pahang and Sabah. Eleven clay body formulations for earthernware, semi-porcelain,
porcelain and stoneware were produced.
For the silica based technology, 1,460kg of crystal glass pellet, 13 Tritan glass
formulations, and 3 tests of waste optical glass recycling were carried out.
The rock based research embarked on the study of precipitated calcium carbonate
(PCC) synthesis from low grade limestone by using sucrose as a promoter to enhance the
formation of PCC in the ionic calcium hydroxide solution. A study of recycling of rock wool
industrial waste was also undertaken.
During the period, advance material studies were carried out on the synthesis and the
production of artificial bone material, hydroxyapatite, by using limestone and silica sand
from local sources, and synthesis of nano hydroxyapatite using local limestone by
mechanochemical method. Cytotoxicity tests carried out on the products showed no toxic
effect on the cultured tissues.
The research on metallurgy technology is aimed at the optimization of the use of local
mineral resources by undertaking studies to improve the processing techniques. The study
was focused on the characterisation of sericite and feldspar. This would enhance the
production of higher valued products and hence would promote better usage of local
resources. The study on the use of Titanium Doping on Silica (SiO2/TiO2) catalyst in waste
treatment was also carried out. The main focus of this research activity was to produce a
suitable catalyst for the removal of highly toxic and non-biodegradable pollutants which are
commonly present in the waste produced by mining and processing industries.
Research on mining and quarrying technology was focused on detailed studies of clay
mineralogy and morphology by using the Scanning Electron Microscope in order to
understand the clay’s occurrence and characteristics. The study, which involves clay and
kaolin from different parts of the country, will assist in the development of better clay
products from local resources. Studies were also conducted on the use of local mineral
resources for producing zeolite. Experimental studies on methods to neutralise and treat acid
waters from mines were also carried out.
A series of studies on reclamation and rehabilitation of ex-mines and quarries were
also conducted.
1.3 Proposed Future Activities
Malaysia will continue with:
(i) Data collection through mapping, geochemical and offshore surveys.
(ii) Exploration and evaluation of non-metallic resources.
(iii) R&D work on local mineral resources.

2.2 Oil and Gas Policy Research
2.2.1 Summary
The Southeast Asia Disaster Prevention Research Institute (SEADPRI), National
University of Malaysia (UKM) undertakes the oil and gas policy research.
The CCOP-SEADPRI Collaborative Project on Feasibility of Networking Petroleum
Geoscience Institutions in East and Southeast Asia was divided into 2 phases: Phase 1 for
petroleum geoscience with a duration of 6 months (May to October 2009) and Phase 2 for the
other disciplines of geoscience that will take 12 months to complete. The CCOP Technical
Secretariat contributed USD45,000 for Phase 1 of the Project while SEADPRI-UKM will
support Phase 2.
2.2.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
The purpose of the Phase 1 Project entitled Feasibility of Networking Petroleum
Geoscience Institutions in East and Southeast Asia is to determine whether a platform could
be provided for promoting sharing of knowledge, human, financial resources, facilities,
experience in curriculum development and conduct of joint activities in petroleum
geoscience. The immediate objective is to determine whether it is feasible to establish a
regional petroleum geoscience network and to propose a collaborative mechanism for this
purpose.
A network of networks framework is proposed. This is envisaged as a CCOP
Network of Networks comprising each a network for the petroleum geoscience, geohazards,
environmental geology, mineral and groundwater resource sectors, etc. Each sector also
constitutes a Sector Network of Networks comprising linked national networks, regional
network of universities, and regional organisations. Besides networking within the sector, the
proposed CCOP Network of Networks can facilitate cross-disciplinary sharing, exchange and
collaboration. The central hub of all the networks is the CCOP Technical Secretariat, which
serves as the Anchor Organisation and manages the networks. The Project proposed that the
Network of Petroleum Geoscience institutions be established by building on the existing
EPPM network to include other institutions that have petroleum geoscience activities, to
expand the scope of the activities beyond EPPM, and to enhance the level of sharing and
collaboration among the network members. The proposed framework could also provide an
opportunity for CCOP to harmonise its existing institutional arrangement. The final report of
the Phase 1 Project on Feasibility Study of Networking of Petroleum Geoscience Institutes
and Organizations in the CCOP Member Countries was submitted to CCOP on 15 November
2009.
Phase 2 focuses on developing a network of researchers on climatic hazards. It draws
on a LESTARI-UKM project entitled “Assessment of Higher Education Needs for Climate
and Ecosystems Change and Adaptation” that commenced in December 2009. The study is
undertaken within the framework of the University Network for Climate and Ecosystems
Change Adaptation Research (UN-CECAR). The objective of the assessment is to map the
genuine need for enhancing climate change and related degree programs. The findings will
serve to inform CCOP on the potential multidisciplinary expertise available in East and
Southeast Asia.

3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME
3.1 Summary
Groundwater is increasingly playing a more important role in supplying the domestic,
industrial and agricultural water needs of the country. As such, groundwater investigation,
development and monitoring continued to be actively carried out in all the states of the
country during the review period. Most of the groundwater programmes in the country were
carried out by JMG. However, in recent years, through the Malaysian government’s
promotion and encouragement, the private sector is increasingly playing a more active role in
the exploration and development of groundwater.
3.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
3.2.1 Groundwater Exploration and Development
Groundwater investigation and tube well development were carried out both in
shallow/alluvium aquifers and in hard rock, generally deeper, aquifers.
A variety of methods including geophysics besides conventional drilling were
engaged in the exploration of groundwater. Geophysical 2-D Resistivity Imaging surveys
were conducted to determine the depth of hard rock and also to identify structures in the rock
formation for groundwater aquifers. Geophysical surveys employing the Transient
Electromagnetic (TEM) method were also conducted to determine fresh water, brackish water
and salt water boundaries and also to detect saline water intrusion. Conventional pumping
tests were carried out to determine the aquifers’ transmissivity (T), hydraulic and optimum
yield.
The increase in groundwater usage and demand in Selangor and Kelantan prompted
the need for re-modelling of the groundwater resource so as to ascertain the safe yields from
the respective basins. Additional wells were drilled at Sungai Langat Basin and Kelantan
Basin to acquire additional geological data for the study.
Upgrading and maintenance of the Simple Groundwater Filtration System (SPATR)
which was pioneered by the JMG were conducted in many rural areas in Sarawak.
Development of groundwater wells for peat fire fighting was also successfully
implemented in Selangor and Pahang. The wells were equipped with abstraction systems and
could be used at any time by the Fire and Rescue Department in the event of peat fires.
3.2.2 Groundwater Monitoring
A periodic groundwater monitoring programme was carried out by JMG to determine
groundwater quality and its risk of contamination. The monitoring work involved
measurement of groundwater level, water sampling for geochemical analyses, and well
maintenance and refurbishment in the field. A total of 440 water wells were monitored during
the review period. Data from monitoring work indicated that there were no significant
changes pertaining to the water level and water quality, hence the risk of groundwater
contamination was considered low.
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
Manado, Indonesia, 17-21 October 2010
179
CCOP Technical Secretariat
In Kelantan, monitoring land subsidence at the well fields and monitoring of
groundwater contamination were also implemented. So far, only negligible changes were
recorded.
3.2.3 Participation by the Private Sector
Besides JMG, increasingly more private entities have begun to embark on large scale,
systematic groundwater exploration and development for water supply purposes especially in
the states of Perak and Selangor. These companies mainly focus on developing fractured rock
aquifers and deep-seated alluvial aquifers.
3.3 Proposed Future Activities
Malaysia will continue with:
(i) Development of groundwater resources in various parts of the country.
(ii)Modelling work and delineation of wellhead protection areas (WHPA) in critical
areas.
3.4 Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities
Assistance from CCOP is required in groundwater resource assessment and monitoring.

4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME
4.1 Summary
The sustainable management of the coastal zone in Malaysia is an integral part of
coastal development and therefore continual efforts are made by the government in funding
numerous projects on our coastal zone resources and its ecological habitats. A number of
projects are being carried out under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9-MP) programme during this
5-year period (2006-2010).
This year, Malaysia through the National Oceanographic Directorate (NOD) has
embarked on preparing the National Ocean Policy for Malaysia. However, the preparation is
still in the infant stage and is envisaged to take at least 2 to 3 years before completion.
4.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
i. Coastal Programmes undertaken by Department of Irrigation and Drainage
The Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) undertakes various coastal
development and mitigation work such as beach nourishment, erection of structures for the
prevention of coastal erosion, dredging of river mouths for navigation purposes and the
preparation of the Integrated Shoreline Management Plan (ISMP) for Malaysia’s coastal
zones, which is being carried out inseveral stages. At present ISMPs for the states of
Malacca, Penang, Sarawak (Miri) and Labuan Federal Territory are underway.

north and east coast of Sabah (Sulu Sea) and for the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
ii. Coastal Programmes undertaken by JMG
a.
Coastal Geology Mapping in Penang Island
Under 9-MP, a coastal geological mapping around Penang Island was completed as
part of a study to address development-related impacts on the coastal region. A nearshore
sampling survey was undertaken in November 2008 and a multibeam survey was undertaken
in September 2009. Detailed geological mapping of all the beaches has been carried out
progressively around the island to study its status and vulnerability to coastal development.
Presently the data is being interpreted and a report will be prepared.
b.
Coastal Studies at One Fathom Bank, Straits of Malacca
Under 9-MP, a marine study is being undertaken at the One Fathom Bank (OFB) area
in the Straits of Malacca, off Port Klang. The purpose of the study is to understand the coastal
processes and the formation of the sand banks in that area so as to formulate strategy for
proper management and sustainable mining of the offshore sand resources in that region.
A sediment sampling survey was done in December 2006. That was followed by a
detailed multibeam survey in July 2009 to study the seabed morphological and sediment
changes to understand the dynamics of the sand banks. The multibeam survey was carried out
jointly with the Marine Department of Malaysia. An ADCP current meter is presently
deployed in the area (since September 2009) to monitor the current and tides in the region.
The monitoring is to go on for about 1 year, and thenceforth to be followed with some
hydraulic modelling.
c.
National Offshore Sand Resource Study – Phase 2 in Offshore Sarawak
Under the 9-MP programme, Phase 2 of the National Offshore Sand Resource Study
was carried out off the waters of Sarawak. The study is to determine the potential sand
reserves and the potential impact of sand mining on the environment. The study commenced
in December 2008 and will be completed in December 2010.
A coastal geological mapping programme that included a survey of fishing habitats
and activities was carried out in October 2009 along the coastal areas of Sarawak to study the
impact of sand mining activities on coastal areas.
An exploitability ranking methodology criterion is being prepared to address the
potential sand areas where sand can be mined with minimal impact on the environment.
Presently the data are being interpreted and a main report will be prepared for the study,
which will include legal and institutional framework for sand mining.
iii. Extended Continental Shelf Project
Malaysia signed UNCLOS 1982 on 10 December 1982 and ratified the Convention on
14 October 1996. Under the provision of Article 76 of UNCLOS 1982, Malaysia has
entitlement to establish the continental shelf beyond its 200 M line off Sarawak and Sabah in
the South China Sea. Malaysia collaborated with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to make a
Joint Partial Submission over a ‘Defined Area’ beyond the 200 M lines of both the coastal
States. The two coastal States made this Joint Submission in accordance with Rule 4 of
Annex 1 to the Commission’s Rule of Procedures to the Commission through the SecretaryGeneral of the United Nations on 6 May 2009. Malaysia and Vietnam made their joint
plenary presentation to the Commission on Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) at the 24th

ANNUAL MEMBER COUNTRY REPORT
Country:
Papua New Guinea
Period:
1 July 2009 – 30 June 2010
GEO-RESOURCES SECTOR
1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
1.1 Summary
Final copies of the airborne geophysical survey datasets were delivered earlier during
the year, and subsequently presented at the 2010 PDAC conference in Toronto. The survey
area covers the Central Highlands of Papua New Guinea and the eastern Papua ultramafic
belt. At this conference mention was made of the stream sediment multi-element
geochemistry survey also captured as part of the MSSP project F (GEOMAP) outcomes.
Both datasets were released on April 14 for general purchase at a cost of $5000 US plus $200
US for handling. A Geological map publication series from the collaborative GEOMAP
project will produce comments on the mineral occurrences in the area of the highlands.
Production of this series is scheduled for 2011.
1.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
The Geological Survey Division began producing interpretation maps of the airborne
magnetic and radiometric datasets based on the 1:100 000scale map sheets. This year was
concentrated on the Double and Porgera 1:100 000 map sheets. The objectives were to
identify target areas using magnetic and radiometric datasets for extensive follow-up in the
field. Only images for the Double 1:100 000 map sheet could be completed in time for the
field mapping.
Further work will continue on 1:100 000 map sheet productions to cover the entire
airborne geophysics survey area. This includes completion of maps from the highlands and
the Sepik (Area 1 and from the peninsular (Area 2).
1.3 Proposed Future Activities
Ground geophysical mapping of small mineral target areas of the areas covered by the
airborne survey is planned. It is recommended to carry out a new geophysical survey to infill
the region between the highlands and the peninsular. This survey would look at the
fundamental change in tectonic fabric between these regions and would greatly enhance
concepts regarding the mineral resource potential of PNG.
1.4 Assistance Required from CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of
Future Activities
Require assistance in enhancing and interpretation of geophysical images; in
association with other available geological and geochemical datasets (see 1.1).

1.5 Assistance Offered to CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future
Activities
It may be possible that our experiences in processing and interpreting geophysical
datasets, especially airborne magnetic and radiometric datasets, and their usefulness in field
geological mapping, can be highlighted or presented in a workshop to other CCOP members.
This would be particularly related to interpreting such data along an active plate margin.
1.6 Others Comments
There is a strong need for the procurement of appropriate tools (e.g. software and
hardware) to enable integrated interpretation of geophysical datasets. Current configurations
do not allow for smooth processing of the large datasets generated during the MSSP program
in PNG. Subject to funding, new configurations are being planned with updated hardware
and software.

5.1 Summary
The Geohazards Management Division of the Department of Mineral Policy and
Geohazards Management continues its mandated role to monitor and assess geological
hazards, like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, landslides and mass erosion events through it
three Branches, Rabaul Volcano Observatory, Port Moresby Geophysical Observatory and
Engineering Geology.
5.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
The Rabaul Volcano Observatory (RVO) is the beneficiary of an Australian
Government funded (AusAid) twinning programme. The Geoscience Australia (GA) and
RVO are partners in this programme. The first twinning programme that ran for 3 years
ended in the middle of this year and a request for an extension for another 3 years was
granted and official signing of the MOU for "Strengthening Natural Hazard Risk Assessment
Capacity in Papua New Guinea" took place on 01 September 2010.
The Port Moresby Geophysical Observatory is a beneficiary of EU support. SOPAC
is managing funds provided by the EU and the Observatory benefits through a nationwide
seismic monitoring network with the installation of seismographs at 10 sites throughout PNG,
rebuilding and upgrading the main hub and improving the communication system. It is
envisaged the commissioning will be concluded before the end of 2010.
All three Branches of the Geohazards Division will benefit from the intervention by
UNDP/ SOPAC. As part of the Disaster Risk Management programme by UNDP in
partnership with SOPAC the following areas for funding have been identified: (1)
Engineering Geology- Pilot Landslide Susceptibility Map; (2) Rabaul Volcano ObservatoryGIS/ RS Capacity Development; cross-cutting also applicable to other two branches; (3) Port
Moresby Geophysical Observatory- National Seismic Hazard Model/ Map at 1:250K scale.
Apart from above normal ongoing monitoring of volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis
and landslides is maintained.
5.3 Proposed Future Activities
• Ensure that all that is mentioned above is attained
• Continue to restore and upgrade monitoring equipment at Rabaul and the other high-
risk volcanoes.
• Upgrade the data transmission mechanisms from the remote high-risk volcanoes to
RVO at Rabaul. The current system uses modem-configured HF radios. Upgrade of
this system is year-marked for the next two years; however, there are plans to phase
this out with VSAT systems. The outcome of this will depend on funding.
• Improve power supply systems for volcano monitoring at selected high-risk volcanoes
including Ulawun and Lamington with the installation of solar farms.
• Relocation of the Volcano Observatory to a new location and fitted with a state of the
art volcano monitoring system.

7. GEO-DATA AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME
7.1 Summary
Papua New Guinea is a highly prospective region in Asia Pacific region. PNG’s
unique geology and substantial mineral resources result from its position on the Pacific “Rim
of Fire” the interactive tectonic boundary between the Indo Australian Plate and the Pacific
Plate. These geological interactions and the complexities of tectonic relationships influenced
the mineralisation process of PNG. Such a geological framework may be explained to, and be
appreciated by, a layman of earth sciences in order for them to understand the geological
events that led to mineral formation in PNG.
MRA is the regulator of exploration and mining in Papua New Guinea. Information
given here highlights the role of the Authority; and provides relevant information for
potential investors who want to know about doing business in the mineral sector. Promotional
and Investment information plus geospatial information products are available at the MRA
through the GIS Information & Marketing Branch of the Geological Survey Division.
Depending on the uses of the information, it is either given free or at a minimal cost.
Recently MRA took delivery of new Aeromagnetics, Radiometric, and geochemical data.
To attract investors into Papua New Guinea for mineral exploration, they need to
know the intricacies of conducting business and MRA does provide this information too.
These can be obtained by direct contact, or through mail and internet.
This article is in two parts; Part A: The relationship between Papua New Guinea’s
geology, mineralization and the occurrences of some major exploration and mining projects;

B. Library
The MRA library contains thousands of volumes of exploration reports, geotechnical
& other technical reports, memoirs, BMRs, and almanacs. The Library is currently in the
transition stage from the former Department of Mining (DoM) to the Mineral Resources
Authority (MRA); however clients can still access reports and other information.
The library is using a file track and retrieval system called the KOHA, open source
library management control system software. Koha is only built into an internal network, and
is not accessible through the internet. The Library is manned by two Librarians.
The Library is operational whilst undergoing restructuring to have all volumes
recorded and shelved in the new facility. The library is open to public 5 days in a week, from
8:00 am to 4:30 pm.
7.3 Proposed Future Activities
The last WBTA 1 geochemistry digitization project increased tremendously
exploration activities in Papua New Guinea. Of almost 2 million geochemistry data points,
only about 700,000 points were captured in the last project.
Currently Papua New Guinea has the WBTA2 project. A TOR for the digitization of
the surface data points and drill holes has been accepted by the WBTA 2 Management Team.
A Tender for the project will be called for in the fourth quarter of 2010. The project will
further enhance the exploration programs and increase new exploration activity.
7.4 Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future Activities
CCOP could assist the Geological Survey in the following areas;
i. PNG’s Potential in Construction Material
An economic analysis of the country’s granite and other construction rock materials
resources; with the objectives of determining if there are resources available that are worth
mining.
ii. Capacity Building in Remote Sensing
CCOP facilitate training, either in country or in a CCOP Member country. Training
could start with introductory courses in data enhancement and move to more specialized
training in topics such as resource analysis.
7.5 Assistance Offered to CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of Future
Activities
Papua New Guinea has an advance system for administering and managing land
issues and land owners issues relating to mining activities. It has proven to be effective and
the World Bank has shown some interest in it. PNG through the Mineral Resources
Authority’s Development Coordination Division can provide training/workshops to colleague
mining liaison officers and coordinators of CCOP member countries.

1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
1.1 Summary
Through the Program of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) on the
Revitalization of the Mineral Industry – Development of Mining Projects, the Government is
actively promoting a number of priority mining development and exploration projects. These
projects could respond to the nation’s need for investment and employment generation, to
assist in the Government's program on poverty alleviation and contribute to the general
economic well being of the nation.
Following the Memorandum of Understanding between the China Geological Survey
(CGS) and the MGB, geochemical mapping for nickel and copper mineralization was
conducted in Surigao del Sur and Surigao del Norte in Mindanao in June 2010.
1.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
a. New Activities
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed on November 29, 2007 by the CGS and
the MGB to carry out geochemical mapping in central and southern Philippines and generate
a metallogenic map of nickel and copper mineralization in Mindanao. Based on these
activities, the Nickel and Copper resources potential in the mapping area will be evaluated. In
November 2009, the CGS carried out field investigation in the area to choose the
geochemical mapping sites and gathered some samples to conduct preliminary geochemical
mapping tests.
In June 2010, the CGS and the MGB conducted geochemical mapping work in
Surigao del Sur and Surigao del Norte. About 1690 samples were collected from an area of
2000 sq.kms. The samples were sent to the CGS Nanjing Geological Services Center for
laboratory analysis. Further exploration in the aforementioned area is planned in November
2010 for a follow-up study on geochemical anomalies. The metallogenic map of nickel and
copper mineralization is scheduled to be finalized in December 2010. A new agreement will
be discussed and implemented subject to the availability of funds, to continue the
collaborative project in a more detail.
b. Ongoing Activities
b.1. Promotional Activities for the Mining Industry
Foreign and local mining investment road shows were conducted to promote the
Philippine minerals industry to prospective investors. These events include: the World

CCOP Technical Secretariat
Economic Forum Workshop in September 2009; Mining Philippines in September 2009 in
Pasay City; Asia Mining Congress in Singapore in April 2010; and Shanghai World Expo
exhibits in May 2010.
Several important activities were also dovetailed into the Mining Philippines 2009
Conference and Exhibition. These were the Launch of the Philippines-Australia Resources
Education Excellence Program (PAREEP) and the Philippines-Australia Mining Officials
Meeting. PAREEP was launched with Ambassador Rod Smith and Mr. John Hartwell, Head
of Resources, Australian Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism. PAREEP is a new
mining industry-funded scholarship program administered by the Australian Government Aid
Program. It is designed to attract students into the mining sector by offering scholarships and
by supporting Philippine mining schools.
The metallic minerals sector, in particular, soared to greater heights during the period
as production value moved from approx. US$730 Million in 2009 to approx. US$1.10 Billion
in 2010. Since 2004, the revitalization of the minerals industry has generated approx.
US$2.936 Billion in total investments and 27,256 jobs. Twenty four (24) projects in the
Operating/Expansion stage have a total investment of US$2.067 Billion since 2004, with
employment of 21,400 jobs.
Twenty four (24) projects are classified as Priority Mineral Development projects, of
which eight (8) are in the Construction and Development Stage, twelve (12) are in the
Feasibility/Financing stage, and four (4) are in the Advanced Exploration stage. These
projects have contributed US$835.27 Million in investments to the economy since 2004.
Three (3) projects are mining assets of the PMO, and are currently being developed,
promoted and managed by the Philippine Mining Development Corporation. Another twenty
four (24) exploration projects have also contributed to the total investment.
A Special meeting last September 11, 2009 of the Investment Promotions Working
Group on the finalization of the Guidebook on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was
held to guide the mining companies in optimizing mining benefits accruing to the community
in compliance with the Mining Act of 1995. The meeting was held at the office of the
Chamber of Mines in Ortigas, Pasig. It was also participated by the CSR consultants of the
private sector. The guidebook has been submitted and distributed to all the member agencies
concerned, together with the schedule for the multi-stakeholder consultations in 2010.

2. ENERGY PROGRAMME
2.1 Summary
The goal of attaining energy self sufficiency through the search for indigenous oil,
gas, coal and geothermal resources has accelerated with the conduct of the Philippine Energy
Contracting Round (PECR). For the contracting round in coal, sixteen (16) Coal Operating
Contracts (COCs) were awarded out of the 30 coal areas offered in PECR-2009 last
September 16, 2009 and November 18, 2009. Likewise, two (2) COCs in coal frontier areas
in Toledo City, Cebu were awarded last March 24, 2010. For geothermal, the DOE has
awarded eight (8) contracts for the exploration, development and utilization of geothermal
prospect areas in Daklan, Acupan-Itogon, Natib, Montelago, Labo, Isarog, Mainit and
Maibarara.
Oil production from July 2009 to June 2010 has reached 3.13 million barrels (MMB),
posting a significant increase over the July 2008 to June 2009 output of 690 thousand barrels.
Main production came from the Galoc Oil Field which completed its extended production
testing last June 2009 and is currently producing at an average of 8,000 to 10,000 barrels of
oil per day. On natural gas production, Malampaya gas field produced 129 billion standard
cubic feet (BSCF) of gas. This reflects a 2.3 percent decrease in gas production from the
previous level of 132 BSCF due primarily to the scheduled production shutdown last
February to March 2010. Malampaya also produced a total of 5.04 million barrels of
condensate for the period in review.
The DOE estimated the country’s total coal resource potential at about 2.37 billion
MT, the estimated proven (in-situ) and mineable reserves stand at approximately 439.7
million MT (MMT) and 327.02 MMT respectively in June 2010.
For geothermal, the total electricity generated was 10,218.66 gigawatt-hour from July
2009 to June 2010.
2.2 Annual Review of Technical Activities
2.2.a Philippine Energy Contracting Round (PECR)
The Philippine Energy Contracting Round for Coal (PECR-Coal) provides an
opportunity for investment through public contracting rounds for awarding coal operating
contracts. It is the desire of the Department of Energy (DOE) to adopt the most effective
strategy for promoting and attracting local and foreign investment to accelerate the
exploration, development and production of the country’s indigenous coal resources. The
contracting round is consistent with national interest and policy for energy strategy and
security.
PECR-Coal 2009 was launched on April 14, 2009 in step with the publishing of the
Department of Energy’s Department Circular DC2009-04-004 to promote and offer
prospective coal areas to both local and private investors for coal exploration, development
and production.
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session

Thirty (30) coal areas were offered
situated mostly within the major coal basins
of the Philippines the majority of which were
areas nominated by the proponents while the
rest are DOE offered areas. Submission of
the proposals started last May 8, 2009 until
June 8, 2009. Twenty-five (25) proposals for
seventeen (17) areas were received during
the opening round by June 9, 2009.
Sixteen
(16)
Coal
Operating
Contracts (COCs) were awarded out of the
30 coal areas offered in PECR-2009 last
September 16, 2009 and November 18, 2009.
Likewise, two (2) COCs in coal frontier areas
in Toledo City, Cebu were awarded on
March 24, 2010.
For geothermal, after the technical,
financial and legal evaluation of prospective
proponents, the DOE awarded eight (8)
contracts for the exploration, development
and utilization of geothermal prospect areas
in Daklan, Acupan-Itogon, Natib, Montelago,
Labo, Isarog, Mainit and Maibarara.
To date, there are three (3)
Geothermal Service Contracts (GSC) under
PD 1442, seven (7) GSCs were converted to
Geothermal RE Service Contracts (GRESC) under PD 9513, two (2) Geothermal RE
Operating Contracts, and 12 GRESCs for exploration. This brought to about 24 the total
number of geothermal service/operating contracts in the country.
2.2.b Production
Oil production has reached 3.13 million barrels (MMB), posting a significant increase
over the July 2008 to June 2009 output of 690 thousand barrels due to increase in the
production output from the Galoc Oil Field which is currently averaging 8,000 to 10,000
barrels of oil per day.
On natural gas production, Malampaya gas fields produced 129 billion standard cubic
feet (BSCF) of gas. This reflects a 2.3 percent decrease in gas production from the previous
level of 132 BSCF mainly due to the scheduled production shutdown last February to March
2010.
Malampaya also produced a total of 5.04 million barrels of condensate compared with
about 5.4 million barrels last year.
Coal production reached 6.17 MMT for the period July 2009 to June 2010 or an
increase of 35.91% from about 4.54 MMT from the previous year.

2.2.c Power Generation
For the review period, the total electricity generated by the country’s geothermal plant
was 10,218.66 gigawatt-hour of electricity compared to 11,382.91 gigawatt-hour of
electricity or a decreased of 10.23% from July 2008 to June 2009 period.
3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME
3.1 Summary
This is a regular on-going program in support of the government’s thrust to provide
safe and dependable water supply source in the entire country. Hydrogeological, groundwater
quality and georesistivity surveys are conducted in specific areas to assess and delineate
potential groundwater supply sources. The main objective is to delineate potential
groundwater supply sources in the various rock units underlying areas surveyed and to
determine groundwater quality. Surveys are also conducted upon the request of Local
Government Units for their local water supply projects. There is in general no systematic
effort to study the groundwater system in their respective regions. This is due mainly to
budget constraint, lack of equipment and trained personnel. The present program may be
effective in the government’s immediate objective of providing water supply but a systematic
approach will be beneficial in the long term.
3.2 Annual Review of Technical Activities
For the period July 2009 to June 2010, the Central Office and 14 Regional Offices
conducted groundwater resource assessments on 17 localities nationwide. During the first
quarter of the year, groundwater resources assessment was conducted in northeast Luzon to
address the prolonged dry season (El Nino) affecting the region.
3.3 Proposed Future Activities and Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future
Activities
For Calendar Year 2011, the Philippine Government has put great importance on
groundwater as an alternative water source and intends to implement the Groundwater
Resources Assessment of 20 priority provinces identified as vulnerable to drought conditions.
Funding will be sourced from the National Government.
GEO-ENVIRONMENT SECTOR
4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME
4.1 Summary
As a component project/activity of the National Geohazard Mapping and Assessment
Program of the MGB, coastal hazard assessment activities were carried out that included
shoreline mapping seabottom topographic measurements, beach profiling, aerial/satellite
photo interpretation, and sediment sampling along the priority coastal municipalities.
Information Education and Communication campaigns were likewise undertaken among the
coastal community populace relating to coastal and marine geohazards, their causes and
effects including the recommended preventive and mitigation measures in order to promote
and enhance public awareness. The final outputs of the coastal and marine geohazard survey
shall be translated into maps indicating the degree of vulnerability or susceptibility of the
coastal areas to a particular geohazard. These thematic maps will be useful not only to the
concerned local residents but also as to the local community policy makers and land use

4.2 Annual Review of Technical Activities
1. Field surveys were carried out in the following areas:
¾ Along the coastal municipalities of Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur in Northwest
Luzon in November-December 2009.
¾ Along the coasts of Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental in the Visayas in
March 2010.
¾ Along the coast of the provinces of Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur and Agusan
del Norte in Mindanao from April-May 2010.
¾ Along the Eastern, Western and Southern Leyte Province in the Visayas in June
2010.
2. Initially, the results of the digital comparison of old topographic maps and the
gathered shoreline data highlighted the rates of erosion and accretion along the
particular vulnerable coastal stretches or corridors marked as Low (< 1 meter/year),
Moderate (1-4.99 meters/year) and High (≥ 5 meters/year).
4.3 Proposed Activities and Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of Future
Activities
To achieve a comparatively more comprehensive implementation of the projects
under the coastal zone program, aside from the current activities relating to the mapping and
assessment of coastal areas critically vulnerable/susceptible to geohazards, initiatives will
further focus on the study of sea level change as affected by climate change and geological
factors as well as on the delineation of the Philippine continental shelf under UNCLOS.
5. GEOHAZARDS PROGRAMME
5.1 Summary
The Geohazards Program of the Philippines is being implemented by the MGB, the
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), and the Philippine
Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Administration (PAGASA). These agencies are
collaborating with the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) and the National Mapping and
Resource Information Authority on Hazards Mapping and Assessment for Effective
Community Based Disaster Risk Mitigation (READY) Project under the framework of the
National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC). The MGB is principally involved in the
mapping and assessment of landslide and flood-prone areas. PHIVOLCS is involved in
earthquake and volcano monitoring including tsunami whereas PAGASA deals with raininduced flooding and storm surges in the country. The complementary work being
undertaken by these agencies on geohazards mapping and assessment has been proven
effective in addressing the immediate concern to manage if not mitigate the detrimental
impacts of natural hazards on the populace.
5.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes/Activities
A. Program of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau
The National Geohazards Mapping Program of the MGB is now in its fifth year of
implementation. The following are the major activities covering the second half of 2009 up to
first half of 2010:
In 2009, a team of geologists form the Central and various Regional Provinces in
Luzon conducted geohazard mapping and assessment of the province of Benguet. Six
municipalities (53 barangays) were covered during the conduct of the survey. From July to
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
Manado, Indonesia, 17-21 October 2010
204
CCOP Technical Secretariat
August, another composite team of geologists from the Central Office and Regional Office
No. 10 conducted field survey and assessment in the Mindanao provinces of Bukidnon and
Misamis Oriental. The survey team assessed 8 municipalities (154 barangays) in Bukidnon,
and 6 municipalities in (217 barangays) in Misamis Oriental.
The onset of the typhoon season in July saw the suspension of most mapping and
survey activities. A series of intense typhoons wreaked havoc in the ensuing months up to
October. Field survey and assessment resumed in November when better weather conditions
arrived. The province of Pangasinan was assessed by a team of geologists from the Central
and Regional Offices from late November to middle of December 2009. Covered by the
assessment was 23 municipalities comprising of 768 barangays. Most of the assessed areas
comprise the western portion of the province. The completion of the assessment of the whole
province was scheduled for the month of January the following year.
In the first quarter of 2010, geohazard mapping resumed to complete the assessment
of the rest of municipalities of Pangasinan done the previous year. Eleven (11) municipalities
comprising of 219 barangays were assessed by the survey team. Simultaneously, another
team was dispatched to the province of Negros Oriental in Central Visayas. Thirty two (32)
municipalities consisting of 619 barangays were assessed.
Two more teams were dispatched in April to cover areas in the Visayas Region. The
first team was sent to the island provinces of Cebu and Siquijor. The assessment team
covered 19 municipalities (410 barangays) in Cebu, and 6 municipalities (134 barangays) in
Siquijor. The second team conducted assessment in the province of Western Samar where
they covered 12 municipalities (419 barangays).
In summary, 123 municipalities covering 2,993 barangays were covered by the
Geohazards Mapping and Assessment Program throughout the entire country during the
period July 2009 to June 2010. To date, a total of 1,540 municipalities out of the 1,618
municipalities comprising the country had been covered by the program. The total number of
geohazard maps in final digitized format is around 750 quadrangles.
Another major activity of the MGB’s geohazards mapping program that directly
impacts on disaster management and rehabilitation is the conduct of suitability assessments of
possible relocation sites. The MGB is in the forefront of this very important undertaking, and
these are carried out in close coordination with the Local Government Units (LGUs), the
NDCC, the OCD, Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), NonGovernment Organizations (NGOs), Philippine Red Cross, civic organizations and other
relief and rehabilitation agencies and institutions of government and the private sector. After
a series of devastating typhoons that hit Luzon during the months of August to October 2009,
geologists from the various MGB regional offices in Luzon where dispatched to conduct
assessment of suitable relocation sites for the displaced communities. Damage to properties,
infrastructures and agriculture amounted to billions of pesos, hundreds of lives were lost, and
millions of people were severely affected by floods and landslides triggered by the
continuous heavy rains. Notable amongst these calamities were Typhoons Ondoy (Ketsana)
and Pepeng (Parma) which hit the country in late September and early October, respectively.
Extremely high rainfall from Ondoy resulted in record-high flood waters which inundated
much of Metro Manila and nearby provinces of Bulacan, Laguna and Rizal. Just a week after
Ondoy, typhoon Pepeng came with heavy rains inundating vast areas and triggered landslides
in Northern Luzon. The provinces of Pangasinan, Benguet, La Trinidad and several other
provinces in the mountainous regions of the Cordilleras were the hardest hit. To make things
worse, conditions in portions of Metro Manila, Laguna and Rizal were further aggravated as
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
Manado, Indonesia, 17-21 October 2010
205
CCOP Technical Secretariat
flood waters had yet to recede from the previous typhoon. Most of the severely affected areas
were visited by MGB geologists both from the Central Office and the various Regional
Offices. Of the more than 50 possible relocation sites assessed, 20 were identified as suitable
for resettlement. In addition, critical areas (i.e. areas where future landslides or flooding
could occur) were identified in order give appropriate warning to the residents living in those
areas. 1:10,000 scale flood-hazard mapping of Metro Manila was also conducted in October
2009 after Typhoon Ondoy. Twenty quadrangle maps have been covered.
In terms of the Information and Education Campaign (IEC) activities of the program,
direct advisories of landslide and flood/flashflood threats were provided to all barangays
covered by the program for the year. Posters, geohazard maps and information VCDs were
also provided to all municipalities aside from the geohazard advisories. Formal and informal
lectures and discussions were also held with the local government officials, people’s
organizations, and other civic groups during the course of the program.
B. Hazards Mapping and Assessment for Effective Community-Based Disaster
Risk Mitigation (READY) Project
One of the MGB’s commitments in the multi-agency UNDP-READY Geohazard
Mapping Program is the conduct of 1:10,000 scale detailed landslide hazard mapping of
growth areas throughout the country.
As a component of the READY Project, province-wide IECs were also conducted in
the areas covered by multi-hazards mapping by the various agencies involved (i.e., MGB:
rain-induced landslides, flooding; PHIVOLCS: earthquake and volcanic hazards; PAGASA:
meteorological hazards). Seminars and workshops were conducted for the Local Government
Officials and teachers to explain the results of the multi-hazards mapping in their respective
jurisdictions. The MGB participated in the province-wide IECs in Ilocos Sur (AugustSeptember 2009) and Zambales (December 2009).
Another component of the project is the installation of landslide warning signs in
areas identified in the 1:10,000 scale mapping as extremely critical. One such site in Little
Kibungan, Brgy. Puguis in the town of La Trinidad, Benguet Province, was identified by the
MGB in 2006. A landslide signage was erected at the site in 2008. The installation of the
signage was done in coordination with the local government and the communities involved.
An IEC was conducted for the communities to explain the hazards that could potentially
affect their villages. The residents were advised to relocate or at least evacuate during intense
rainfall. Unfortunately, the warnings were not heeded. Catastrophe struck when torrential
rains brought about by typhoon Pepeng (Parma) triggered massive landslides in the area and
vicinities. The landslides buried scores of houses in Little Kibungan, including the signage
installed in the area. This taught everyone a bitter lesson that the populace should listen to the
advice of experts especially when lives are at risk, and that the local government must be firm
in imposing forced evacuation in areas classified by the authorities as extremely hazard
prone.
5.3 Proposed Future Actiivities
The 1:50,000 scales mapping under the National Geohazards Mapping Program is
expected to be finished by the end of 2010. The last few months of 2010 up to the early
month of 2011 will be devoted to integration of maps covered by the 1:50,000 scale mapping
of the whole Philippines. The next logical step is the conduct of a more detailed geohazard
mapping and assessment. This will involve a thorough assessment and mapping at 1:10,000
scale, of areas previously identified as hazard-prone. The proposed program will start in 2011
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
Manado, Indonesia, 17-21 October 2010
206
CCOP Technical Secretariat
and is projected to be finished up to 2015. Intensified IEC campaigns throughout the country
of areas previously covered by the 1:50,000 scale mapping will be part of the continuing
activities for the next few years.
Although most of the geohazard maps finished have been physically distributed to
various stakeholders (i.e. LGUs, planners, students, etc.), there are still a lot of sectors that
need to be provided with the said maps. Today, the internet remains to be the fastest means of
disseminating information. To maximize the use of this technology in the distribution of
geohazard maps, the following course of action is envisioned:
1. A map viewing software (ArcGIS Server Standard Enterprise) will be utilized as a
platform in the uploading/viewing of geohazard maps in the MGB website. This will be
installed in the current MGB server. The data to be uploaded are in vector format, a data
format which is easier to manage and consumes less space. This is contrast to the present
maps in raster/jpeg format uploaded to the website which are slow to download and view due
to the large memory space required. As the acquisition of a full license of the software takes
time and requires a sizeable fund, a temporary ArcGIS Server Standard Enterprise license
will be requested from Geodata, the sole distributor of the software in the Philippines.
ArcGIS is also the platform that will be utilized by the DENR-Integrated Geographic
Information System (IGIS), a system that is setup to share data among inter-DENR agencies.
2. The housing of the geohazard maps at the MGB website will be on a trial basis until
such time that the space/speed allocation of the present MGB website is upgraded in order to
accommodate the additional load required for the uploading of the software as well as the
maps. Another option considered would be the creation of a purely dedicated Geohazard
Mapping Program website. This will be a totally separate site with a unique address. The
same structure/setup will be utilized as proposed above with the only difference being that it
will be housed on a separate server. This server will be physically installed at the Lands
Geological Survey Division of the MGB. As it is completely dedicated to the housing of
geohazard data, there would be greater ease during data manipulation, updating and
integration.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY PROGRAMME
6.1 Summary
6.1.1 Solid Waste Disposal Site Assessment
Under RA 9003 of 2002 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act) and its
Implementing Rules and Regulations, the MGB was mandated to provide assistance to Local
Government Units (LGUs) in the selection and evaluation of suitable solid waste disposal
(SWD) sites. The criteria used for selecting suitable SWD sites is contained in RA 9003 and
DENR Administrative Order 98-49 & 50. The criteria for SWD site selection (based on DAO
50 s. 1998) generally require an ocular inspection although MGB personnel considers other
parameters like ground stability and groundwater vulnerability in their evaluation.
6.1.2 MGB Climate Change Program
The MGB is pursuing a Climate Change Program that entails the continuation of its
present activities on geosciences and mining/mineral resources sectors relevant to the
provisions of the Philippine Change Act of 2009, Philippine National Framework strategy on
Climate Change 2010-2022 and Philippine strategy on Climate Change Adaptation 20102022.
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
Manado, Indonesia, 17-21 October 2010

CCOP Technical Secretariat
6.2 Annual Review of Technical Activities
6.2.1 A total of seventy-nine (79) sites were evaluated during the reporting period. One
or more possible landfill sites are chosen by requesting LGUs for evaluation.
Accomplishments for this activity depend on request from LGUs received by MGB’s
Regional Offices. As most open dump sites have been closed or converted to controlled dump
sites since 2005 as mandated in RA 9003, the majority of requests for site assessment are for
sanitary landfills. MGB is also providing technical assistance to LGU’s for more detailed
studies in suitable sanitary landfill sites subject to financial co-sharing agreement with
LGU’s. The decrease in solid waste sites assessed compared to earlier years indicate
compliance of most LGUs to RA 9003.
6.2.2 The MGB Program on Climate Change is anchored on the provisions of the
Climate Change Act of 2009, the National framework Strategy on Climate Change and the
Philippine Strategy on Climate Change Adaptation. The objectives and plan of action of the
Program are focused on the vital contribution of the mining/mineral resources and
geosciences on climate change knowledge through improvement of information on
geosciences and hazards, on the integration of climate change adaptation and mitigation in
the implementation of the various MGB programs/activities on mining such as the
Environmental Protection and Enhancement Program (EPEP), Final Mine Rehabilitation
and/or Decommissioning Plan (FMR/DP), Environmental Work Program (EWP), and Social
Development and Management Program (SDMP), on climate proofing of present and future
mining operations and infrastructures and on the application of disaster risk assessment and
capacity development, including geoscientific data gathering and dissemination of climate
change-related reports and maps for planning purposes.
™ Mining/Mineral Resources Sector
The MGB has required mining companies to prepare and submit Environmental
Protection and Enhancement Program (EPEP), Final Mine Rehabilitation and/or
Decommissioning Plan (FMR/DP) and, Social Development and Management Program
(SDMP) to address the adverse impacts of mining operations. As of February 2010, these 94
EPEPs have a total financial commitment amounting to about Php 24.5Billion with 80 mining
companies already implementing their pertinent EPEPs and 27 approved FMR/DPs with total
financial commitment of about Php 575.4Million. In addition to this, the establishment of
mining forests within specified area by mining companies is being implemented under
EPEP/FMRDP.
Hence, with the enactment of the Climate Change Act of 2009 (CCA) and under the
guiding principles ,pillars, and strategic priorities of the National Framework Strategy on
Climate Change to take precautionary measures to anticipate, prevent or minimize the causes
of climate change and its adverse effects and to collaborate and integrate climate change
adaptation plans for infrastructures with other stakeholders there is a need to integrate climate
change adaptation and mitigation in the implementation of the various MGB
programs/activities such as EPEP, FMR/DP, EWP, and SDMP including the formulation and
implementation of climate change adaptation guidelines on the assessment, monitoring, and
reporting of mining operations and future mineral resources development nationwide.
Furthermore, as also provided in the CCA and the mitigation pillar of the National
Framework Strategy on Climate Change (NFSCC) that the strategy shall take the form of
nationally appropriate mitigation actions and taking into account the rising emissions growth
rates of the developed countries, including the Philippines, an integrated approach involving
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
Manado, Indonesia, 17-21 October 2010
208
CCOP Technical Secretariat
mitigation of greenhouse gases and adaptation to climate change by the mining companies is
proposed .In order to achieve this, a greenhouse gas inventory, which is an accounting of the
amount of greenhouse gases emitted to or removed from the atmosphere over a specific
period of time, will be conducted on the mining companies. This greenhouse gas inventory
also provides information on the activities that cause emissions and removals, as well as
background on the methods used to make the calculations. A survey will also be conducted to
assess the effects of climate change to mining companies and how they will adapt to these
changes. This will include among others, the type and efficiency of greenhouse gases
reduction technologies being employed.
The potential impacts of climate change could directly and adversely affect mining
operations, specifically the infrastructures and facilities, such as flooding of tailings
ponds/dams, massive erosion or landslides on mining/quarry areas. As such and with the
cross-cutting strategies on capacity development of concerned institutions in the area of
systems improvement for undertaking climate change initiatives as provided for in the
NFSCC, the proposed establishment of the MGB Rock Mechanics Laboratory would then
play a very vital role in the sound engineering designs of open pit and underground support
systems and dams/reservoirs through precise determination of the mechanical properties of
rocks ensuring safe and efficient mining operations and thereby protecting the mining camps
and adjoining communities during severe rainfall or extreme weather conditions.
™ Geosciences Sector
The current MGB Geohazards Mapping and Assessment Program is anchored well on
the provisions of the CCA and the NFSCC specifically on the Adaptation Pillar which
provides for the development of science-based approach to climate change adaptation which
requires the establishment of a comprehensive knowledge system and vulnerability
assessment from potential hazards to the population and to existing infrastructures. Under this
Program which focuses on the mapping of flood-prone and landslide-prone areas in the
Philippines, the MGB would conduct detailed hazard assessment at a scale of 1:10,000
towards vulnerability mapping related to disaster risk reduction, management, and
preparedness of specific community sites that are or may be affected.
This activity would also essentially and similarly require the establishment of a rock
mechanics laboratory. Rock samples would be gathered during the actual geohazards
mapping. Such rock mechanical properties are vital to the design and construction of civil
works and other engineering interventions which could effectively mitigate landslides and
slope failures in vulnerable areas.
Also coastal geohazards assessment is being conducted by MGB as component of the
National Geohazards Mapping Program based on priorities but on limited resources. The
proposed nationwide coastal geohazards mapping and assessment of the MGB which is also
consistent with the NFSCC not only on vulnerability assessment but as well as on the
required capacity development in systems improvement, is envisioned to capacitate the MGB
Regional Offices with the necessary equipment technology and eventually towards the
identification, characterization, and assessment of the Philippine coastal areas vulnerable to
coastal erosion/accretion, inundation and other hazards as induced by climate change.
The Information, Education, and Communication campaign being actively undertaken
and pursued by the MGB as a major component activity under the National Geohazards
Mapping is well stipulated in the strategic provisions of the CCA and the NFSCC to educate
the public and private sectors to secure broad public awareness, support and cooperation in
disaster risk reduction, mitigation and adaptation programs on climate change.
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session

CCOP Technical Secretariat
Relatedly, the coastal geohazards mapping and assessment could include the study on
groundwater degradation by seawater intrusion induced by sea level rise through
georesistivity surveys and groundwater quality measurements and integration of the resulting
data with relevant hydrogeological information available. The much needed equipment and
instruments being proposed in this activity is for the capacity building of the MGB Regional
Offices nationwide.
Moreover, the above-cited activity could also integrate the sample gathering and
documentation of Cenozoic fossil corals, foraminifera, and mollusks in the Philippines for the
research on Cenozoic paleodiversity in the country and its response to climate changes,
tectonic movements, and other paleoenvironmental developments.
6.3 Proposed Future Activities and Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of
Future Activities
The MGB is proposing the following projects under its Climate Change Program for
possible funding assistance from CCOP Cooperating Countries:
¾ Capacity building thru acquisition of georesistivity meters and required software
models for the project on Groundwater Degradation by Seawater Intrusion and
Associated Hazards as induced by Sea Level Rise due to Climate Change and other
Geological Factors.
¾ Capacity building through the provision/grant of laboratory equipment and
construction of laboratory building under proposed Establishment of Rock Mechanics
Laboratory.
¾ Capacity building through training in the use of mass spectrometer and in isotope
analysis and interpretation under the Research on Cenozoic Paleodiversity in the
Philippines: Response to Climate Changes, Tectonic Movements, and other
Paleoenvironmental Developments.

GEO-RESOURCES SECTOR
1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
The year 2010 is a difficult year for many sectors, especially on the mining side.
Mineral Resources continue to be important for the development of the country’s social and
economic development. However, due to the concern for the environment and promotion of
the principle of sustainable development, it is important that all mining projects carry out a
proper BIA process, with selected mega projects also required to perform special HIA and
SEAs. Furthermore, mining projects must be approved by the local communities and the
relevant NGOs.
The situation mentioned above is not necessarily bad, rather it gives many
stakeholders opportunities to develop their ability, knowledge and performance, and use this
to adjust their programs and management. This has caused many of the responsible offices to
initiate green projects and, through their work, to evaluate their geological and mineral
resources so as to sustain resources for the new generation to come.
The work on Geo-resources is summarized below;
1.1 Summary
During the reporting period (fiscal year 2010), the Department of Mineral Resources
(DMR) has carried out the technical projects which are the “Mineral Exploration Program
outside Legally Conserved/protected Areas” and “Mineral Zoning and Geological Resources
Management”.
1.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities
1.2.1 Project: Mineral exploration activity outside legally conserved/protected areas
Established since 2007, the project is planned to be completed in 2010. It was
implemented by subcontracting private exploration companies under the supervision of the DMR.
Duration: 28 January 2010 – 4 October 2010.
Objectives: to investigate mineral potential areas and mineral deposits for further
development and to be used in the national management and planning of natural resources.
Project Areas:
The project working areas are “Kaeng Krachan” area covering parts of Phetchaburi and
Prachuap Khirikhan Provinces, approximately 3,000 km2. The work has now been completed.

1.2.2 Mineral Zoning and Geological Resources Management
Project Background: Mineral resources development involves several stakeholders in
society. Systematic management of mineral resources is needed in terms of effectiveness and
fairness. Participation is needed from relevant stakeholders. This project was set up in 2006
to propose the management measures in each individual province for effective planning and
management of its geological resources.
Initially, DMR compiles various data, information, maps at 1:50,000 scale of the
geology, mineral potential and mining license areas, natural parks, forests, wildlife reserves,
other restricted areas and land-use conditions, conservative geological sites, national and
local economic situations. The next step is to define the areas for potential development,
considering the land-use conditions by laws and regulations. At this stage, the areas for
mineral utilization have been divided into three groups namely;
(1) preserved areas (e.g., national parks, forest parks, wildlife sanctuaries, area of no
animal-hunting, pollution control areas and mangrove preserved zones) : mineral resources in
these areas will be preserved and are the last-priority for utilization,
(2) conserved areas (e.g., reformed land for agriculture, watershed areas class one,
economic mangrove zone 1, forest zones restricted by laws, regulations, cabinet resolutions,
mineral research survey areas designated by Mineral Act B.E. 1967, Section 6 bi): mineral
resources are planned to be used in the near future, or at present with certain conditions,
(3) development areas (e.g., economic mangrove zone 2, economic forest zones,
industrial rock zones, mining license areas and mineral development areas designated by
Mineral Act B.E. 1967, Section 6 quad): mineral resources in these areas have no law,
regulation or public restrictions on development. Prioritization of the development areas of
each mineral commodity is considered by economic, social and environmental factors.
All the mineral zones in these three areas are also graded by their value. Measures
and recommendations for effective mineral planning and management are then proposed in
the preliminary report of each province. Finally, these reports are be sent to the relevant
stakeholders for comments. Consultation meetings will be organized in every province prior
to submission of the final report to the cabinet for approval. Executives and technical people
as representatives of relevant agencies such as DMR, Department of Primary Industries
and Mines, Office of Natural Resources Policy and Planning, Provincial Offices and Local
Administrative Offices will be invited to join the consultation meetings.
After four years (2006-2009), the project has been carried out in 38 provinces
covering:
Northern region; Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang, Lamphun, Mae Hong Son, Nan,
Phayao, Phrae, Uttaradit, Phetchabun and Phitsanulok.
Central region; Nakhon Sawan, Saraburi, Lopburi, Phichit, Sukhothai and Uthaithani.
Eastern region; Prachinburi, and Rayong
Western region; Kanchanaburi, Tak, Prachaub Kiri Khan, Phetchaburi and Rachaburi
Southern region; Chumphon, Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phattalung and Trang
Northeastern region; Loei, Kanlasin, Udonthani, Nong Khai, Nongbua Lampu,
Khonkhean, Mahasalakham and Roi-Ed

During this year work was carried out in eight selected provinces in the southern part
of the northeastern region, namely Chaiyabhum, Nakhon Ratchasima, Burirum, Surin, Sri
Saket, Ubon-Ratchathani, Amnajaroen and Yasothon.
1.3 Proposed Future Activities
The Mineral Exploration Program outside Legally protected Areas will also require
similar work on different areas next year and the Mineral zoning and geological Resources
Management Program will continue to next year in a number of selected provinces.

2. ENERGY PROGRAMME
2.1 Summary
Exploration activities include seismic surveys (2D and 3D) together with drilling of
wells both onshore and offshore. The high crude price during the year 2006 - 2008 was the
major driver of the aggressive E&P activities. The last two successful petroleum concession
bidding rounds are evidence of success. The latest, 20th bidding round, was a record breaking round. As of the end of September 2010, 25 blocks have been awarded.
The crude oil production rate during July 2009 to June 2010 was 155,600 barrel per
day (bbld), a slight decrease from last year’s average rate of 156,800 bbld per day. About
21% of crude oil production is from onshore oil fields including the production from a new
onshore oil field which added up to another 2,500 bbld to the total production. Many newly
awarded blocks are still in the exploration phase but exploration results indicated petroleum
potential in many areas which can be developed into commercial production.
The natural gas production rate was 4,400 MMscfd, an increase of 15% from last
year’s average rate of 3,500 MMscfd. The mainstream of natural gas (96%) was produced
from fields in the Gulf of Thailand, and the remainder was from onshore fields - 2 fields in
the NE of Thailand (120 Mmcfd from the Sin Phu Horm and Nam Phong) and some
associated gas of about 20 MMscfd from the Sirikit Field in the central plain basin.
Condensate production slightly increased from last year at an approximate rate of
94,400 bbld in 2010 compared with 88,100 bbld in 2009.

However, the total amount of petroleum production in the Kingdom can only meet
approximately 57% of the total country demands (Figure 2) though the indigenous supply
increased about 22% from last year.
As of 2009 year’s end, Thailand’s proved reserves (P1) as announced by the Department
of Mineral Fuels (DMF) are 11 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas, 255 million barrels (MMbbl)
of condensate, and 180 MMbbl of crude oil.
Concerning coal, the total coal consumption in 2010 is 34.87 million tons per year, a
slight increase compared to that of last year of 34.38 million tons. The domestic coal
production can supply only 17.93 million tons or 51.4% of the total demand. The amount of
domestic coal production is almost the same as last year (17.95 million tons in 2009 and
17.93 million tons in 2010). Total imported coal also increased from 14.88 million tons in
2009 to 16.87 million tons in 2010.
2.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities
2.2.1 Petroleum Concessions
The results of the 20th Bidding Round (23rd May 2007 to 22nd May 2008) can be
summarized as follows:
A total of 65 blocks, 56 onshore and 9 offshore blocks in the Gulf of Thailand,
were put to bid. The bids were very competitive compared to other rounds in the past.
37 concessionaires submitted 74 bidding forms for 52 blocks. By end of June 2010,
22 concessions for 25 blocks (14 onshore and 11 offshore blocks) had been awarded. Four
onshore blocks were signed in 2010 (Figure 3).
2.2.2 New Petroleum Licensed Applications (PLA)
At end of June 2010, 6 new production area applications (PAA) have been granted.
One area is located in the Gulf of Thailand (North Kung), 3 areas are located in the
Phitsanulok Basin, 1 area in Phetchabun Basin, and 1 area in Suphanburi Basin.
2.2.3 Exploration Activities
Exploration activities continued over the period of July 2009 to June 2010. This
resulted from several geophysical surveys carried out in the blocks awarded in the 19th and
20th Bidding Rounds. 2D seismic survey of 5,838 km was acquired (about 8,666 km was
acquired last year). Of these 5,838 line km, about 1,827 line km were from onshore areas and
4,011 line km from offshore areas. Most of 2D seismic survey in this period was performed
in the NE region.
A total of 2,663 km2 of 3D seismic survey were conducted both onshore (about 540
km and offshore (2,123 km2), a slight increase compared with last year 2,232 km2 as 3D
seismic survey seems to be a new key to the NE region in better identifying the fracture
system in carbonate reservoirs.
2)
On the drilling, a total of 15 exploratory wells were drilled during July 2009 to June
2010 - 9 wells in the onshore basins and the other 6 wells in the Gulf of Thailand.
Development wells were reported as 466 wells - 77 wells drilled in the onshore areas and 389
wells drilled in the Gulf of Thailand. 6 water injection wells were also drilled in the onshore
areas whilst 5 wells were drilled in the Gulf of Thailand.

2.2.4 Coalbed Methane (CBM) and Oil Shale Projects
In 2009/2010, the Department of Mineral Fuels (DMF) in cooperation with Colorado
School of Mines carried out a study on “Characterization for Possible Utilization of the
Mae Sot Basin Oil Shale.” Preliminary conclusions show that Mae Sot oil shale, if stabilized
and upgraded, can produce shale oil. Utilization of spent shale for cement manufacturing is
recommended for further study, especially an evaluation of thickness, overburden depth, and
continuity of the richest seams. DMF plans to conduct a feasibility study on the use of Mae
Sot oil shale as fuel and raw materials in the cement production process.
2.3 Proposed Future Activities and Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of
Future Activities
a) Training on conventional oil and gas.
b) Training or some short courses on thin sand reservoir or tight sand reservoir
development - To gain new techniques that can be applied to developing multilayered thin sand reservoirs and some tight gas sandstones in NE region of Thailand.
c) Training or some short courses on carbonate reservoirs - To better understand the
reservoir properties in northeastern Thailand where most fields are carbonate plays.
d) Training or some short courses on conflict negotiation and public awareness.

3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME
3.1 Summary
The Department of Groundwater Resources (DGR) is taking part in the group project
of Hydrological Mapping under the CCOP Groundwater Project. Apart from CCOP related
projects, DGR also conducted other important projects concerned with groundwater well drilling
and construction of clean water system for schools, for drought, groundwater assessment
projects in Islands, and groundwater mapping at 1:50,000 scale.
3.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities
3.2.1 Groundwater and Land Subsidence Monitoring
The history of over pumping of groundwater in Bangkok and its vicinity has resulted
in a decline of water levels in the main aquifers. This caused a groundwater crisis and land
subsidence. The monitoring data showed a clear correlation between total land subsidence and
the piezometric level decline. Several remedial measures have been implemented since 1983 to
solve these problems.
The controlling of groundwater use and collecting of groundwater fees and
groundwater conservation tax in the critical areas results in increasing of water levels and
decreasing rates of land subsidence. At present, the most affected areas that undergo subsidence
at the rate of 20-30 mm/year are the southeast and southwest suburbs. For the general whole
area the rate has decreased to 10-20 mm/year.
Currently, DGR has launched a new project namely “Development of Geographical
Information System for Groundwater Critical Area”. This project aims to produce a
numerical groundwater model coupled with a geographical information system. It is an
important tool for decision support such as permitting groundwater use and improvement to
the framework of groundwater conservation taxation. Moreover, INSAR technology will be
used to map the land subsidence area and the rate of land subsidence. This new technology will
enhance the efficiency of land subsidence detection in addition to the conventional ground
survey.
3.2.2 Groundwater monitoring system
Monitoring wells are very useful for inspectation of contamination. Changing of water
levels or water qualities can clarify the status of groundwater resources. In a sub-group
project with CCOP, KIGAM (leader of sub-group in Groundwater Evaluation Using
Monitoring Systems) recommended and introduced the way to optimise the total number of
monitoring wells. Currently, DGR have a total of 1,786 monitoring wells throughout the
country. (Figure 4)

stations through out the country.
3.2.3 Clean Drinking Groundwater for Schools
It is reported that over 50 % of schools in Thailand have a lack of clean drinking
water especially during dry seasons. DGR has aimed to construct the clean drinking
groundwater system for schools which face severe shortage of drinking water. A total of
2,478 systems were implemented. The system consists of groundwater well, water
purification system and water supply system. Some schools have planned to create learning
centers for the system and also develop small scale businesses for bottling water. (Figure 5)

3.2.4 Groundwater Assessment
Groundwater potentials are very important in terms of water management. Sustainable
development is promoted worldwide, especially for water resources. DGR intends to evaluate
groundwater potentials of every significant basin. Currently, the main basins consisting of
unconsolidated rocks are regionally evaluated- Chiang Mai basin, Upper Chao Phraya basin,
Lower Chao Phraya basin, Mae Klong basin and Hat Yai basin. In 2008, DGR has worked in
the Tha Chin and Mae Klong basins by using mathematical models and concluded that
groundwater can be exploited safely up to approximately 600 million cubic meters per year.
Detailed hydrogeological mapping at a scale of 1:50,000 was also implemented in the Upper
Chao Phraya basin. (Figure 6)

3.3 Proposed Future Activities and Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of
Future Activities
1. To support the project of offshore hydrogeology and deep groundwater proposed by
CCOP/Petrad. This project would be very useful for groundwater management in critical
areas (Bangkok and adjacent areas).
2. To create some projects concerning karst hydrogeology which is specifically an
aspect of groundwater of concern to Thailand. DGR suggests that CGS has much more
experience in this topic and should be the leader of this project.
3. In the past few years the joint projects with CCOP, actually concentrated only in short
course training with nothing to be implemented for the country members. It would be better if
the project leader can design the project structure and provide some funding to implement in
selected areas.
4. The wide development of industrial estates can actually be the cause of toxic
groundwater contamination, especially from petrochemical industries. CCOP should provide
the projects such as groundwater sampling techniques or monitoring in order to create
benchmarks for early warning.

4. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMME
4.1 Summary
The Thai coastal line is 2,667 km. long and coastal erosion takes place in all coastal
provinces on both the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand coastlines. All 23 coastal
provinces, especially, at the upper Gulf of Thailand running from Bangpakong estuary down
to Mae Klong estuary in the area of five provinces, namely, Chachoengsao, Samutprakan,
Bangkok, Samutsakhon and Samutsongkhram, are the sensitive areas where the most severe
coastal erosion is found. Some of these areas are eroding at the rate of over 25 meters per
year.
The coastal areas along the shorelines of the Gulf of Thailand, running from the
easternmost coast of Trat province down to the Thai-Malay borderline in Narathiwat Province,
is 1,653 km long, 485 km of which have encountered serious coastal erosion at the rate of 5
to over 20 meters per year. The total length of the Andaman Coast is approximately 1,014
km, 114 km of which has encountered coastal erosion problems. When considering the total
coastal area countrywide, it is shown that 599 km or 22.5 percent of coastlines of the country
are eroded at an alarming level.
High rates of coastal erosion in Thailand occur along the total distance of approximately
204 km or 7.7 percent nationwide; and at medium level about 395 km. or 14.8 percent; while
stable coast accounts for 1966 km or 73 percent and depositional coastal around 162 km.
or 6.1 percent.
The coastal environment is very dynamic with many cyclic and random processes
owing to a variety of factors. It plays a vital role in the nation’s economy by virtue of its
resources. Recently, this environment is changed by both natural processes and
anthropogenic reasons. Coastal change, in particular coastal erosion, causes significant
economic losses, social problems, and ecological damage. The problem of erosion is
widespread along Thai’s coastlines, both in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea, and
has a trend of increasing magnitude in some localities. Therefore coastal erosion was raised
up to be on the national agenda for disaster reduction planning.
Roles of the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR)
The DMCR, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE), plays an
important role in policy formulation and planning, involving processing laws and legislation
and their enforcement. The DMCR works in cooperation with related agencies who share the
same missions and action plans under the strategy aimed to prevent and resolve coastal
erosion. In addition, the DMCR monitors and carries out research and development, as well
as conserves and rehabilitates the coastal resources.
Solution Methods of Coastal Erosion in Thailand and Their Consequences.
There are three options available for solving the coastal erosion problems:
a) Shoreline position versus time with “retreat” option.
b) Shoreline position versus time with “armoring” option.
c) Shoreline position versus time with “restoration” option.
The decision for selecting the method depending on the cause, the cost and the site.

CCOP Technical Secretariat
Department of Mineral Resources (DMR)
Implementation by Bureau of Environmental Geology and Geohazard
A strategy for coastal erosion prevention and mitigation management has passed the
approval of the National Environmental Commission in 2008 with the general objectives of
strengthening knowledge integration and co-ordination between all levels of government and
other stakeholders on coastal management, providing an effective coastal erosion mitigation
plan, developing and improving the coastal zone database to support politic planning and the
decision making process, and promote public awareness of those responsible for coastal
change management and introduce knowledge of coastal processes and the effects that these
processes have on shoreline evolution.
The DMR as the government agency of Thailand responsible for geological hazard
management and geological survey takes action to support the strategies by conducting the
projects to monitor physical change of the coastal zone and to evaluate the geological factors
in conjunction with meteorological and oceanographically factors which cause coastal
change. Additionally, the studies on other geohazards which will affect the coastal area are
considered as a part of coastal management. The issues will principally be used as the
database for sustainable coastal management.
Implementation by Bureau of Geotechnology
One important mission of the Department of Mineral Resources is to record geological
characteristics of the coastal area, beach structure and coastal currents which are the factors
affecting the accumulation of sediments and beach erosion in order to manage and develop
coastal areas along with the study of changes caused by human activity.
4.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities
The progress of DMR by the Bureau of Environmental Geology and Geohazards
and by the Bureau of Geotechnology is as follows:
4.2.1 The coastal change along Andaman sea coast and the Gulf of Thailand by
Bureau of Environmental Geology and Geohazard:
The study on the coastal change of Thailand was a project conducted by
Environmental Geology Division of the Department of Mineral Resources. The overall goals
are to monitor the physical change of the coastal zone, to evaluate the causes and magnitude
of coastal change, to improve the coastal zone database by updating the coastal geological
data, meteorological data and oceanographically data related to coastal change processes and
to provide guidelines for coastal erosion prevention and mitigation plans. The detailed
studies in Chumphon province and Suratthani province were conducted from October 2009 to
October 2010. The monitoring of coastal changes was carried out through the comparative
analysis of the past-shoreline and the present-shoreline based on satellite image and field
survey data. The beach profiles were respectively obtained in severely eroded areas in order
to show the relationship among seasonal changes, coastal morphology and causative factors.
The submarine morphology and distribution of depositional features of marine sediments
(within 2-3 km. toward the sea) were examined using echo sounding (Parametric echo
sounder) and shallow marine seismic reflection profiling data and grab sampling. The real
time current velocities, velocity directions, temperatures and the water depth were obtained
using Acoustic Doppler Current Profile (ADCP) (Sentinel Workhorse Rio Grande 600 kHz
series). Additionally, DMR also pays attention to monitor the coastal engineering structure
effects on shoreline change. The detailed field surveys such as beach profile survey, offshore
bathymetry survey, oceanographically survey and sediment sampling are conducted before and
after the hard structure construction. The aim is to construct the database on coastal

geomorphology, sedimentary and oceanography along the coastal zone before and after hard
structure construction. The accurate coastal zone data helps an understanding of the scale and
composition of the factors that contribute to coastal erosion which is very important
information that contributes significantly to rational coastal development plans and
management practices.
4.2.2 Climate change adaptation and mitigation related to geological aspect by the
Bureau of Environmental Geology and Geohazard:
Global warming has attracted people’s attention worldwide. It is likely that global
warming has contributed significantly to the observed sea-level rise, through thermal
expansion of seawater and widespread loss of land ice. The sea-level rise would impose
serious impacts on the natural systems and human society in the coastal zone such as
inundation and beach erosion. However, there are huge uncertainties still remaining over the
magnitude and rate of sea-level rise, which is usually based on the regional scale studies
through tectonic and geologic processes.
In 2010, DMR carried out 3 projects concerning climate change mitigation and
adaptation consisting of:
- The land subsidence assessment was conducted in coastal zones such as Samut
Prakran province and Chacheangsao provinces using the Precise Point Positioning surveying
technique.
- Studies to determine the rates of vertical land movement at tide gauges. Vertical
land movements are an important signal in sea level records therefore DMR incooperation
with Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, are presently trying to measure the rates of vertical
motion of the earth's crust using new geodetic techniques such as Continuous Global
Positioning System (CGPS) and the microgravity technique with the aim of eventually
removing the land movement signals from the sea level records. The pilot project has been
conducted in Chunburi province and Chumphon since 2009. However, long term data
collecting is needed for accurate movement trend prediction.
- The vulnerability area of flooding due to sea-level rise in coastal zone such as Samut
Prakran province and Chacheangsao provinces were assessed based on land subsidence data,
sea level rise data, detailed topographic maps, and land use data.
- Organized training on climate change protection for youth in order to promote
information to gain local people’s understanding.
4.2.3 The Coastal change of Thailand by the Bureau of Geotechnology:
Marine geophysical and coastal hydrographic survey to explore depth and seafloor
topography, record shallow marine seismic profiling to study geology under the seafloor and
measuring velocities and directions of coastal currents.
The study on the coastal change of Thailand using echo sounding (Parametric echo
sounder) and shallow marine seismic reflection profiling data and grab sample data. The real
time currents velocities, velocities directions, temperatures and the water depths were obtained
using Acoustic Doppler Current Profile (ADCP).
In 2009, DMR carried out studies in 4 areas (Figure 7) consisting of;
- Takuapa District, Phang-Nga Province area
- Khlongwan District, Prachuapkhirikhan Province area
- Lamae District, Chumporn Province area
- Khlong Tha Muang District, Suratthani Province area

DMCR activities in response to coastal management can be summarized as follows:
An important current activity is the development of a database on the country’s
biodiversity. The development has also proposed appropriate sites to protect marine and coastal
resources. In other words, the DMCR is a key organization whose major roles involve proposing
of policies, plans and measures to prevent unbalanced use of natural resources. DMCR also
enforces relevant laws and regulations to prevent damage and promote sustainable utilization.
There are many areas pertaining to natural resources that need to be urgently
managed, such as decreasing mangrove forests, coral reefs, sea grass beds and erosion of
coastal areas. However, we have to accept that it is not possible to do everything all at once.
At present, the Sub-committee on Regulating Coastal Erosion and Preparation of the master
plan on prevention and solution of coastal erosion in Thailand stated that the most important
thing is to have tools and mechanisms in place to prevent and solve problems in coastal areas.
This will require laws and legislation to promote marine and coastal resources management

and research and capacity building. The information obtained can be used to identity a
conservation model for the country.
DMCR has recently submitted the Framework on an Integrated Budget Plan for the
Prevention and Solution of Coastal Erosion to the cabinet and the plan was approved on 20
April 2010. The total budget is 19,580.8 million baht. DMCR is main responsible office.
4.3 Proposed Future Activities and Assistance Required from CCOP in Support of
Future Activities
On the basis of present information, the coastal changes are caused by both natural
processes and human activities. The reduction of the coastal sediment budget related to
development and changing of land-use, the influence of the movement of tidal current and long
shore current, the increasing in frequency and degree of storm, and sea level rise are the
factors related to coastal erosion on the coastline of Thailand. Due to insufficient geological,
oceanographical and meteorological data, as well as land-use change patterns and coastline
development projects, the research for coastal erosion protection cannot obtain much reliable
results for designing an appropriate protection structure and policy for coastal zone
management. However the Bureau of Environmental Geology and Geohazards, with short
period of data collection, concludes that the results of the study do not clearly indicate how
those factors would influence the coastal change process. The assessment with the support of
geological study, coastal engineering study and other techniques are necessary i.e. developing
and applying relatively simple coastal erosion models, developing predictive models for
assessing impacts of the related coastal erosion factors, and long-term coastal monitoring
measurement. Then the reliable assessment and sustainable mitigation plan can be obtained.
The Bureau of Technology were study and survey for database since 1979 to 2008, covering
about 70% of all coastlines. The 2011-2018 plan is to study and survey other areas for
complete coverage all of all Thailand’s coastal zone.

5. GEO-HAZARDS PROGRAMME
5.1 Summary
Generally in the past it has been believed that Thailand is located in a low seismicity
area and no earthquakes effect the people. Intense seismic activity caused by major
earthquakes has never occurred inside Thai territorial areas except one event in history was
recorded that describes the collapse of a town in the northern part by a big earthquake more
than thousand years ago. With the passage of time, many important events that panicked people have
been forgotten. However, in the past 3 decades moderate earthquakes occurred more
frequently and caused considerable public panic. Some locations of moderate earthquakes that
have not harmed people in the past record, initially cause some damage to vulnerable
constructions.
Additionally, geohazards such as landslides, mudslides and flash floods occur in
many provinces of Thailand and seem to cause more and more damage both to properties and
to people. The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) as the government agency of
Thailand responsible for geological hazard management has selected the prototype areas for
sustainable rehabilitation including 2 areas in Uttaradit province and 1 area in Chiang Mai
province. The mains activities comprise detailed geological mapping at the scale of 1:4,000,
adjusting the existing streams and establishing rehabilitation planning with the local
population.
5.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities
5.2.1 Active fault study
The major goal of DMR’s study by the Environmental Geology Division in 2008 was
to delineate the characteristics of the Mae Tha and Thoen Faults and to define, wirh rhe
assistance of active fault maps, the means for earthquake mitigation on several communities
affected by these two fault groups passing the study areas. The area under investigation
covers several district areas where Mae Tha and Thoen Faults pass including those of Chiang
Mai, Chiang Rai, Lamphun, Lampang and Phrae Provinces.
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
Manado, Indonesia, 17-21 October 2010

CCOP Technical Secretariat
Based upon the results on earthquake geology along the faults from this survey,
summary is made in the following aspects as:
(1) Results on geological, geomorphological and geophysical data reveal that both the
Mae Tha and Thoen Faults show evidence of movements during the Quaternary Period. The
Mae Tha fault, approximately 180 km-long, can be subdivided into 20 fault segments
whereas the Thoen Fault, approximately 190 km-long, can be divided into 17 segments.
Based on age dating data, Doi Chom Hot, Nam Mae Khot, Ban Tham and Nam Mae Sapuat
segments of the Mae Tha Fault, Wang Khon, Long, Phrae and Sob Prab segments of the
Thoen Fault are regarded as active faults;
(2) Doi Chom Hot segment, with a northerly strike and westerly dip, shows a reverse
sense of movement. The surface rupture length of about 30 km is estimated to yield the
maximum paleo-earthquake of about 6.8 on the Richter scale with a slip rate of 0.5 mm/year;
(3) Nam Mae Khot fault segment, with a northerly strike and westerly dip, indicates
the reverse sense of movement. The surface rupture length is about 25 km and considered to
produce a paleo-earthquake magnitude of about 6.7 on the Richter scale with a slip rate of 0.1
mm/year;
(4) Ban Tham fault segment with a northerly strike and dip towards the east, shows a
normal sense of movement. The estimation of the surface fault length is 12 kms and
considered to produce a paleo-earthquake magnitude of about 6.3 on the Richter scale with a
slip rate of about 0.1 mm/year;
(5) Nam Mae Sapuat segment with a north-easterly strike and dip towards the
northwest, shows the left lateral sense of movement at present. The estimation of the surface
fault length is 33 km and is considered to produce a paleo-earthquake magnitude of about 6.8
on the Richter scale with a slip rate of 1.0 mm/year;
(6) Wang Khon fault segment with a north-easterly strike and dip toward the
northwest
shows
the
left
lateral
sense
of
movement.
The estimation of the surface fault length is 39 km and considered to produce a paleoearthquake magnitude of about 6.9 on the Richter scale with a slip rate of 0.4 mm/year;
(7) Long segment with a north-east strike and dip towards to the west, shows the left,
lateral sense of movement at present. The surface rupture length of about 42 km is estimated
to yield the maximum paleo-earthquake of about 7.0 on the Richter scale with a slip rate of
0.4 mm/year;
(8) Phrae fault segment with a north-easterly strike and dip towards the southeast
indicates the left lateral sense of movement. The surface rupture length of about 49 km was
determined to yield the maximum paleo-earthquake of about 7.0 on the Richter with a slip
rate of 0.6 mm/year;
(9) Sob Prab segment with a north-easterly strike and dip toward the northwest shows
the left lateral sense of movement at present. The surface rupture length of about 34 km is
estimated to yield the maximum paleo-earthquake of about 6.8 on the Richter scale with a

8. THE FACE OF PRIMATE: Siamopithecus, Age 35 ma, Krabi Province
New Geometric-Morphometric Evidence for Its Anthropoid Status.
8.1 Summary
This research is a cooperative project for mammal study between the Department of
Mineral Resources, Thailand (DMR) and the University of Poitiers, France. The project is lead by
Dr. Yaowalak Chaimanee and colleagues from the Bureau of Fossil Protection, DMR. It
involves new maxillofacial and associated mandibular remain of Siamopithecus eocaenus, an
amphipithecid primate from the Late Eocene of Krabi Province (Thailand) (Figure12). It
currently represents the most complete specimen (right side of lower jaw and both of upper jaw
with eye socket) belonging to this group. They were discovered from coal deposits in Nuea
Khlong Coal Mine, Krabi province.
8.2 Annual Review of Technical Programmes / Activities
The geometric-morphometric method is the technique for making three dimentional
morphology photos by computer at the University of Zürich, Switzerland. The result of this
research shows that the face of Siamopithecus had high evolution characteristics such as
shorten face, forward eye and was similar to recent gibbon.
Siamopithecus significance
The Siamopithecus is very important because it is the oldest primate to be recovered
in Thailand, with age about 35 ma. This evidence indicates that Southeast Asia is the origin
and evolution place of a high-grade primate (evolution line of human). This discovered fossil
is the best specimen and highest evolution which has a similar face of Miocene primate.
Geometric-morphometric analysis of the reconstructed specimen within a comparative
sample of recent and fossil primates clearly associates Siamopithecus with the anthropoids.
Like modern anthropoids, Siamopithecus displays a relatively short face and highly
convergent and frontated orbits, the lower rim of which lies well above the alveolar plane.
Scientists believe this short face characteristic of primate is showing only in close relatives of
humans of primate group or ape which begin in the Miocene. However, this research proves
that the characteristic occured at least in the Late Eocene and might continue to evolves to be
primate which is a close relative of humans today.

GEO-RESOURCES SECTOR
1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
1.1 Summary
The government of Timor-Leste through the State Secretariat for Natural Resources
(SSNR), National Directorate for Geology and Mineral (NDGM) has been implementing a
number of activities including field work to produce a Geological Map. The Geological
Mapping Project is one of SERN’s six programs that will be conducted in the next few years.
The mineral sector remained one of the important sectors in the development of Timor-Leste.
A Draft Mining Law is still in progress and it is expected to undergo the process for
approval by the National Parliament of Timor-Leste. This is expected to be done after the
approval of the Land Ownership Law which is currently under public consultation.
1.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
The Geological Mapping Program was established in June 2008 and it has been
progressing steadily with the assistance of 12 geological experts from Indonesian Universities
providing field work training and guidance to 8 technical NDGM staff and 15 field assistants.
The Geological Mapping Project has completed almost 37 Km square area in the
District of Covalima in the south west part of Timor-Leste.

including public consultation and debate with the relevant institutions.
Engagement of a qualified local consultant to carry out a study and produce a report
identifying potential Minerals ready for exploration.
Provide assistance to the Department of Ground Water Management to carry out a
study on ground water in Timor-Leste.
Continuing development and training of Timorese for future geological survey
activities.
1.4 Assistance Required from CCOP/Other Member Countries in Support of
Future Activities
Propose a visit to Timor-Leste by a CCOP delegation constituted by representatives
of countries that can share their similar experience with Timor-Leste. One of the objectives of
the visit would be to raise awareness of Timor-Leste’s executives about CCOP as an
organization and to highlight the importance and benefits of Timor-Leste as a member.
1.5 Others Comments
The National Directorate for Geology and Minerals has a relatively young team of
geologists mostly recently graduated from Indonesian University. We realize the lack of
practical experience due to limited activities in the sector in Timor-Leste. Great efforts have
been put on getting as many people as possible qualified and experienced by sending them
abroad and into local Universities.

2. ENERGY PROGRAMME
2.1 Summary
It is recognized that Timor-Leste has considerable hydrocarbon resources, both
offshore and onshore. As exploration continues, there are optimistic signs for some
significant hydrocarbon finds in the TLEA, one of the three exploration areas in Timor-Leste.
The three exploration areas in Timor-Leste consist of the Joint Petroleum
Development Area (JPDA), the Timor-Leste Exclusive Area (TLEA) and the TL Onshore
area. The JPDA is a joint Off-shore area administered by the Autoridade Nacional Petroleum
(ANP) for Timor Leste and Australia, with revenue split of 90/10. ANP is also responsible to
administer all other petroleum activities in the Off-Shore Timor-Leste Exclusive Area and the
TL On-shore area.
There are over 20 oil and gas seep occurrences on-shore in the south coast area of
Timor-Leste. The current government has no immediate plans by to start exploration onshore. In 2006, six contract areas out of eleven in the TLEA were awarded to two different
companies, Reliance and Eni Timor Leste. Due to various technical difficulties, scheduled
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session

CCOP Technical Secretariat
drilling for late 2009 in the TLEA was postponed until the 3rd quarter of 2010. In the JPDA
numerous petroleum prospects and leads have been identified since exploration started in the
1970s. Fifty exploration wells have been drilled and four commercially viable fields have
been identified and developed. Bayu Undan (JPDA 03-12 & 03-13) continues to produce oil
and gas at a steady rate since its first production in 2004. The Greater Sunrise field, (JPDA
03-19 & 03-20) which is mainly natural gas is at the phase of development option selection.
However, intense negotiations between the operator, Australian and Timor-Leste are still
underway to agree on the best option. Kitan oil field (JPDA 06-105), which was declared
commercial in 2009, had its development plan approved in April 2010.
2.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
Joint Petroleum Development Area (JPDA)
1. Bayu Undan (JPDA 03-12 & JPDA 03-13)
Bayu Undan is the only current producing field providing the majority of income to
Timor Leste. Bayu Undan was discovered in 1995 and commenced production in February
2004. The field lies in 80 meters of water, 50 kilometers south of Suai, Timor-Leste, and 500
kilometers northwest of Darwin, Australia. The reservoir gas is stripped of its liquid (LPG
and condensate) which is then stored in the FPSO Liberdade. The lean gas is piped 500km
southeast to Darwin where it is processed into LNG. The Operator is Conoco Phillips with
the partners is INPEX, Santos, Tokyo Electric Power, Tokyo Gas.
The Bayu-Undan Field is a gas–condensate field with a raw gas-initially-in-place
(GIIP) of approximately 8 Tcf including propane plus (C3+) in-place of 683 MMstb.
Production from the field is supported by a very strong aquifer and partial recycling of lean
gas. Total raw gas production is approximately 1.1MMscf/day. This yields about 102, 000
bpd of condensate and LPG. Approximately 500 MMscf/day is exported to the LNG plant in
Darwin and the remaining gas is reinjected.
In 2009, the field was developed with nine producers (more than 7,000 acre/well
spacing).

Woodside Petroleum is the Operator and Shell Development, ConocoPhillips and
Osaka Gas are joint venture partners in these two PSCs covering the Greater Sunrise field.
The operator has put forward three development plan options for consideration by Australia
and Timor-Leste; the options are Pipeline to Darwin Australia, Pipeline to Timor-Leste or a
floating LNG processing plant. The operator has expressed their preferred option to be a
floating LNG plant. The field is estimated to contain recoverable reserve of 5.7 tcf dry gas
and 299 Mmbbls of condensate.
During 2009 the PSC has been working on the interpretation of the reprocessed 3D
data over the field, as well as incorporated well results from the last well drilled, Sunrise 3.
These studies were performed to mature the subsurface understanding, as well as to prepare
for development of the Greater Sunrise Field. Engineering work as well as commercial
evaluation has also been performed throughout 2009.
3. JPDA 06-101(A)
The Anita 2D Data Acquisition Survey was completed by Minza on 7th September
2009. Approximately 937 line kms of data were acquired, resulting in over 800 kms of full
fold data, in comparison to Minza’s minimum PSC commitment of 500 line kms. The aim of
the survey is to enhance the understanding of the Chuditch field and adjacent prospects in
preparation for drilling a well in 2010.

Petronas and Joint Venture Partners Korea Gas Corporation, Samsung Corporation
and LG Corporation completed processing and interpretation of 645 square kilometres of 3D
seismic data over JDPA 06-102, in preparation for drilling a three-well drilling campaign that
commenced in the fourth quarter of 2009. The Makikit-A well was spudded on 20 September
2009 by the Ocean Shield jack-up rig, and reached a TD (total depth) of 3,460 metres. No
commercial hydrocarbons were detected and further drilling of this target is planned as part
of the on-going drilling program into the first quarter of 2010. Kurita-1 well was the second
well in the drilling campaign and was spudded on the 7th of December 2009, the objective of
the well is to explore the hydrocarbon potential in the Elang and Plover formations.
5. JPDA 06-103
Oilex (JPDA 06-103) and Joint Venture partners Videocon, GSPC, Bharat Petro
Resources and Japan Energy completed drilling two out of four commitment wells in 2009.
The two wells were drilled by the semi-submersible drill rig Songa Mercur over the period
November 2009 to January 2010. The first well, Lore-1 reached a TD of 3,581 metres within
the target Elang-Plover Formation. The second well, Lolotoe-1, reached a TD of 3,935
metres. Although neither well detected movable hydrocarbons, trace amounts of oil and gas
were found in the Lolotoe-1 well in the Flamingo Formation and in the Elang/Plover
Formations in the Lore-1 well. The data and information gained from this program will be
used in planning the remaining two commitment wells for 2010.

GEO-RESOURCES SECTOR
1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
1.1 Summary
In the report period from July 2009 to June 2010, the Department of Geology and
Minerals of Vietnam (DGMV) and other agencies conducted many activities related to the
Mineral Programme of the Geo-Resources Sector including geological mapping, mineral
investigation and solid mineral potential assessment as detailed below.
1.2 Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
1.2.1
Regional Geological Survey
DGMV continued geological mapping and mineral investigation at the scale of
1:50,000 in Cao Bang, Quang Nam, Yen Bai, Tuyen Quang, Bac Giang, Ninh Binh, Gia Lai,
Kon Tum and Tay Ninh provinces.
Some notable results of geological mapping and mineral resources investigations at
the scale of 1:50,000 were as follows:
-
Geological mapping and mineral investigation in the Lang Son map sheet was carried out
over 2,440km2. As a result, several important geological and mineral findings were made.
Findings of geological significance include: the first discovery of ammonites from the
early - middle Devonian period; identification of three episodes of Mesozoic eruptions;
detection of pillow basalts in late Permian formations. Regarding minerals, sixty-nine
deposits and mineral prospects were discovered and registered. These comprised 4 newly
discovered deposits, 28 prospects and 16 mineral occurrences, including 13 kinds of
minerals: brown coal, iron ore, copper, lead - zinc, bauxite, gold, barite, crystalline quartz,
cement limestone, building stone, facing stone, brick clay and sand and gravel for
construction. Of these, economically promising minerals are construction materials,
bauxite, gold and barite. Based on this, eight prospective mineral areas have been
delineated to propose for further investigation.
-
Geological mapping and mineral investigation at scale of 1:50,000 in Krong Pa sheet was
carried out within an area of 2,250km2. Geologically, several significant discoveries have
been made such as detection of Pelecypoda fossils in Sinemurian stage (early Jurassic);
additional detection of diatomite-trepel, kaolin in volcanic tuffs and early Neogene
sediments. Regarding minerals, 68 deposits and mineral prospects have been recorded and
registered, of which new discoveries included 23 deposits, 19 prospects and 11
occurrences, including 15 kinds of minerals: brown coal, lead - zinc, tin, gold, fluorite,
barite, feldspar, kaolin, diatomite - trepel, quartz, facing stone, construction stone, sand
and gravel, brick clay. Twelve promising mineral areas have been delineated to propose
for the further investigation.

The on-going projects of geological - mineral mapping at the scale of 1:50,000 have also
initially resulted in some significant geological and minerals findings such as detection of
iron ore in Cao Bang, Quang Nam, gold in Cao Bang, Yen Bai, Quang Nam and kaolin in
Tay Ninh.
-
As regards geophysical survey DGMV has completed one project with a final report and
has 5 on-going projects. The report "Detailed examination of aeromagnetic anomalies in
Thuong Giap area, Tuyen Quang province" has been prepared and submitted to the
archives. As a result, one magnetite iron ore body and five lead-zinc sulphide ore bodies
have been discovered and some promising areas have been delineated to propose for
further investigation.
1.2.2
Solid mineral potential assessment
a) Completed Projects
DGMV has completed and approved 7 reports on investigation and assessment of
mineral potential, including: lead - zinc: 2 reports; copper: 1 report; tin and rare metals: 1
report; magnesite: 1 report; facing stone: 2 reports. As a result, most of the minerals subjected
to investigation and assessment have reached or exceeded the resource targets.
Lead – Zinc Ore:
In Dien Bien, 22 lead - zinc ore bodies have been delineated and assessed. The ores
are of hydrothermal origin at low - medium temperature. The Pb + Zn grade is from 4.97 to
28.70%, the average Pb grade is 3.97% and average Zn grade is 6.16%. The discovery and
assessment of these lead - zinc ores are very meaningful and open up a perspective for
investigation and discovery of this type of mineral in the Northwest region.
In Yen Bai, 6 ore bodies have been delineated and assessed. The ore bodies are of
pocket and lode form extending in sub-longitudinal and northeast - southwest direction with
total lengths of 300 to 1,000 m, thickness of 1.2 to 2.5 m. Pb + Zn grade is from 7.19 to
14.98%.
Tin and Rare Metal ores:
In Quang Ngai province, 40 lithium - tin bearing ore bodies and pegmatoid mineral
bodies have been discovered. Amongst these, 20 ore bodies of industrial grade have been
identified. The ore bodies are often 300 to 500 m in length from and 0.7 to 3.0 m in thickness.
The average Sn grade is from 0.1 to 1.4% and of Li2O is from 0.18 to 0.67%.
Facing Stone:
In Nghe An province, 11 bodies of granite bedrock and 11 areas of boulders of
industrial value have been delineated. The bedrock bodies have the length varying from 400
to 1,240 m, and width 100 - 440m. Most of the boulders have sizes ≥ 3 m3. This is the largest
granite facing stone deposit investigated in the North Central region so far.
b) Ongoing Projects
As the initial result of the project "Investigation and assessment of titanium - zircon
placer potential in the red sand formation in Binh Thuan and North Ba Ria - Vung Tau”, 540
km2 of red sand containing titanium and zircon have been delineated in North Phan Thiet
area. The ore bodies have thickness from 8 to 166.5 m, with average from 49 to 88.5 m. The
grade of heavy minerals in the ore bodies varies from 0.51% to 2.0%, with an average of
0.69%. The titanium - zircon ore concentrate resource in North Phan Thiet area alone is
preliminarily prognosticated to reach over 300 million tons. The project is still ongoing.

2. Review of current technical activities and geoscience programs in the CCOP Region
(Multilateral or Bilateral)
Natural Hazard Risk Assessment initiatives in the Australasian Region.
GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA provides technical support to AusAID in the form of
capacity building in natural hazard risk assessment in the Australasian region. This work is
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
Manado, Indonesia, 17-21 October 2010
265
CCOP Technical Secretariat
being conducted in several countries in the region through country-specific funding as well as
humanitarian and disaster risk reduction funding.
Natural hazard risks being addressed are earthquake, tsunami, volcano, severe wind
and flood. The hazard mapping involves understanding the origins of hazard sources,
propagation of hazards (e.g., wind, ground motion, or tsunami waves), and local
amplification effects (e.g., topographic effects on wind or amplification of ground shaking).
Risk assessments focus on engineering assessments of physical damage to structures
and economic losses which flow from damage impacts. This work involves the development
of information on community assets (buildings, infrastructure, people) and demographics,
and the assessment of vulnerability of those assets to different hazard types. The estimation
of loss requires converting damage estimates into economic terms, including direct costs of
reconstruction, as well as indirect costs associated with loss of income and broader economic
activity.
GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA has a partnership with AusAID in the AustralianIndonesian
Facility
for
Disaster
Reduction
(AIFDR)
in
Jakarta:
http://www.aifdr.org/aifdr_public_website/. As part of this commitment, GEOSCIENCE
AUSTRALIA has seconded 4 technical staff to the AIFDR office in Jakarta to manage and
support the Vulnerability and Risk Stream of the facility.
GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA is supporting Australian participation as a public
sponsor in the Global Earthquake Model: http://www.globalquakemodel.org/. The Global
Earthquake Model will provide an authoritative standard for calculating and communicating
earthquake hazard and risk by developing much-needed global datasets, building open-source
tools, and engaging scientists and engineers and users around the world. GEM is structured as
a public-private partnership that serves a humanitarian imperative while offering a key to
sustainable development. On 26-27 May, GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA together with GNS
in New Zealand and the National Technical University in Singapore, held a regional
workshop on GEM to share earthquake hazard and risk information and to encourage the
development of a GEM regional program in the region (referred to by GEM as the South East
Asia Region). Representatives of geoscience agencies and academic institutions participating
in the forum were: The Philippines, Myanmar, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia,
Laos, Indonesia, Singapore, New Zealand, and Australia.

ANNUAL COOPERATING COUNTRY REPORT
Country/Organization:
CANADA
Period:
1 July 2009 – 30 June 2010
1. Summary
Canada continues to engage in a number of bilateral projects with Member Countries
principally in the areas of gas hydrates, earthquake and landslide hazard research.
2. Review of current technical activities and geoscience programmes in the CCOP
Region (Multilateral or Bilateral)
There is ongoing collaborative research with Japan through a number of Japanese
agencies and universities. An important element of this collaboration is a cooperative study of
the hazard posed by subduction earthquakes. This research focuses on a comparison of the
Nankai and Cascadia subduction zones. Highlights this year include the deployment of 33
ocean bottom (Japanese) seismometers on the Cascadia margin offshore British Columbia,
Canada and development and transfer of new instrumentation for deployment in seafloor
observatories in the Nankai Subduction Zone. The latter instruments will continuously
monitor pressures and temperatures in the subduction zone and will have the capability to
sample crustal fluids. Information derived from both deployments is expected to significantly
advance understanding of the seismic hazards and earthquake cycles in both subduction
zones.
There is also ongoing collaboration with Japan, principally through the Japan Oil, Gas
and Metals Corporation to study terrestrial gas hydrates beneath the permafrost in Canada’s
Mackenzie Delta. Final results of the highly successful 2007-08 production test at the Mallik
site in the Mackenzie Delta, northern Canada will be released at a jointly organized
symposium in Tokyo in November, 2010. The results demonstrate ‘proof of concept’ of
commercial-scale production rates from gas hydrate by controlled pressure draw-down.
Collaborative activities continue with Korea, through KIGAM. These activities focus
on our mutual interest in marine gas hydrates occurrence and formation in Ulleng Basin and
elsewhere. Of particular note is the completion of planning for a widespread coring and
drilling program designed to establish the extent of gas hydrate-bearing sand bodies in the
Ulleung Basin. That program got underway in July 2010.
The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and China Geological Survey (CGS)
completed a collaborative multi-year effort to apply Canadian RADARSAT technology to the
assessment of landslide hazard within China- specifically on the Danba landslide located west
of Chengdu, Sichuan Province. Monthly RADARSAT imagery of the site was used to
successfully document changes (mm scale) in slope movement and to build capacity in China
for the application of this technology.

FINLAND
Period:
1 July 2009 – 30 June 2010
1. Summary
Finland joined CCOP as a cooperating country in August 2008, after being an
observer to CCOP since 2004. Since recently GTK has started project activities in Asia and in
the CCOP region. There is a large potential for cooperation in the field of geo-data
management, geological and ore prospecting, geochemical baseline mapping and
environmental geology, as well as in hazard and risk assessment. GTK comes to CCOP with
extensive experience of cooperation in Europe, a strong and continuously growing
cooperation with NIS and central Asian countries, as well in as Eastern Africa.
As a government agency operating primarily within the minerals, construction and
energy sector, GTK plays a vital role in providing geological expertise to government,
industry and the wider stakeholder community. Specific responsibilities include the
promotion and implementation of sustainable approaches to the supply and management of
minerals, energy and construction materials, and to ensure environmental compliance through
monitoring, assessment and remediation programs. GTK also contributes to a wide range of
international geoscience mapping and environmental monitoring projects and is active in
developing multidisciplinary research programs with universities, government agencies and
stakeholders across related sectors. The GTK research programs and services comprise:
Mineral Potential; Energy; Urban geology; Environmental impact; Groundwater; Minerals
and processing; Geophysical applications and Geo-information.
A CCOP delegation composed of Director Prof. Dr. He Qingcheng and Geoenvironment Sector Coordinator Niran Chaimanee visited the Geological Survey of Finland
on the 22nd of September 2010. The purpose of the trip was to foster future cooperation
potentials. The representatives from GTK were: General Director Prof. Elias Ekdahl, South
Finland Office Director Keijo Nenonen and the senior scientists Dr. Timo Ruskeeniemi, Dr.
Timo Tarvainen and Dr. Philipp Schmidt-Thomé. Followed by an introduction of recent GTK
activities of potential interest to the CCOP region, Prof. Dr. He Qingcheng outlined the recent
development in CCOP and potential fields of cooperation (especially climate change
adaptation, carbon capture and storage as well as medical geology). GTK presented and
discussed four main fields of activities, i.e. geological modeling for nuclear waste disposal,
geochemical baseline mapping (also suitable for medical geology), latest techniques of
implementing laser scanning techniques for geological purposes and climate change
adaptation. It was agreed to hold further talks on theses issues during the CCOP Advisory
Group meeting at the CCOP Annual Session in Manado and in side meetings.

2.1 Lao-Finnish minerals sector institutional project - "LAOFIMIN"
The Lao-Finnish minerals sector institutional project - "LAOFIMIN" has developed
further very well and is on course to achieve its aims. It is conducted by the Department of
Geology and Department of Mines (Ministry of Energy and Mines), Lao PDR and the
regional northern Finland office of the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) (Ministry of
Economy and the Employment). LAOFIMIN consists of four Components:

CCOP Technical Secretariat
In the implementation of all above Components emphasis is given to capacity
building through tailored courses, hands-on practices, field visits, seminars and co-working in
the facilities and with existing tools of MEM and GTK.
The overall objective of the project is parallel to the long-term goal of the Lao government to
support the development of the minerals sector as the fundamental driver of the country’s
economy. This is done by strengthening the capacities of DOM and DGEO in the governance
of national mineral resources in a sustainable and economically viable manner using
geoinformation as a decision- making tool and for promotion of minerals investments. As a
concrete result of the project administrative procedures existing geoinformation is being
compiled into spatial geodatabase available for both internal (decision making, planning,
guiding and monitoring) and external use (promotion). Availability of all this information
will lead to increased transparency of minerals sector administrative procedures and keep the
level of investments and activities at a high level. The project duration is 2 years and the
overall budget is 0.5 million €. The GTK project coordinator: Dr. Esko Korkiakoski
2.2 Malaysia/Thailand.
In 2008 GTK has organized workshops on natural hazards, climate change and risk
under the auspices of the National University of Malaysia and in cooperation with the Thai
Department of Mineral Resources. The aim of these workshops is capacity building, as
GTK has considerable experience in implementing climate change and natural hazard
adaptation for land use planning in several countries in the Baltic Sea Region. Representative
of the Geological Survey of Finland: Dr. Philipp Schmidt-Thomé
In April 2004 a delegation from Singapore visited GTK to learn more about
underground construction techniques, especially the modeling process behind their planning
(fractures, etc). Several presentations discussed the latest GTK involvements in urban
geological projects, e.g. in building a new metro line, as well as understanding urban risks
from a geological perspective.
2.3 Mongolia
In 2009 the Central Geological Laboratory (CGL) of Mongolia and the Geological
Survey of Finland started a World Bank financed project:
Improvement of Mineral Processing Services of Central Geological laboratory
(CGL), Mongolia
The Project Purpose is to improve the service capacity of CGL in the area of
technological research of mineral processing and in operational processes of CGL concerning
general and cross-cutting issues. The overall objective of the Project is to improve the
capability of the Central Geological Laboratory (CGL) to produce correct and up-to-date
research information for the minerals sector of Mongolia to be utilised in technical-economic
evaluation of mineral resources and in subsequent decision-making. GTK’s role in the project
is to ensure:
-
Improved skills and knowledge of the CGL staff in mineral processing;
Updated research tools and equipment of the mineral processing laboratory;
Improved processes of CGL organization regarding generic and cross-cutting issues;
Enhanced cooperation and networking of CGL within the minerals sector.

2.4 Kyushu University, Japan - GTK geoenergy research cooperation
The GTK Kokkola regional office has commenced geoenergy cooperation with Japan,
focusing on on Thermal Response Test (TRT), especially the thermal properties of energy
wells, influence of ground water and modelling. The cooperation is based on a cooperation
agreement in geoenergy with GTK in connection with the large national Finnish geoenergy
project GEOENER. The project is lead by Chief Scientist (Phil.Lic.) Jarmo Kallio; the
Associate Professor Hikari Fujii and Mr. Keita Nishi from Kyushu University, Japan.
2.5 Memorandum of understanding between the China Geological Survey and the
Geological Survey of Finland
The MoU as well as talks during further meetings in 2009 point out that several topics
offer the potential to rapidly open the practical cooperation gate, concentrating in the geoenvironment sector, particularly in:
• geologic support to large infrastructure projects (e.g. roads, bridges, tunnels, and
railroads);
• prediction of and preparedness for geo-environmental hazards;
• the importance of relative sea level changes for infrastructure and urban planning:
groundwater issues;
• environment issues in and services for the mining sector;
• background concentrations (baseline) of elements in the environment and/or
• utilization of geological and geochemical data in spatial planning and reduction of
land-use impacts.
3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support of current and future
activities
3.1 Cooperation potential between CGS and GTK
Since many of the above subjects are currently ranked as priority areas for
development in both CGS and its regional organization and the GTK, it is logical to propose
that first practical cooperation project would focus on one or more of these areas. Geoenvironmental applications present an important opportunity for both organizations to
increase the degree of processing and value addition for their geological and geochemical
data and expertise. In the near future, this focus topic will obviously be of the utmost benefit
to both organizations and to Chinese and Finnish society.
Another, entirely different topic for building Chinese-Finnish cooperation could be
the concept of raw materials-based sustainable development (RBSD). Both China and Europe
depend much on imported raw materials. The CGS and GTK could jointly elaborate the
implementation of RBSD to enable minerals rich but poor producer countries to fully take the
opportunity that mining can provide for their development and, thus, secure raw materials
supply in the long term.
Both the geo-environment sector and RBSD concept could also offer opportunities to
develop CGS-GTK partnership and joint consultancy projects in third countries. More
detailed identification of themes for cooperation might be best achieved through meeting of
expert teams from both organizations. To enable a rapid start, it is recommended that the
cooperation project would be first implemented through mutual change of expert teams and
other resources based on "in kind". Representatives of the Geological Survey of Finland:

German-Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System” (GITEWS) – Component Capacity
Building
GITEWS is a contribution on the part of the German government to the rebuilding of
early warning infrastructures in the region of the Indian Ocean. The project is funded by the
German Federal Ministry of Educational Research (BMBF). The German contribution to the
detection system of earthquakes and tsunamis relies on a marine measurement procedure and
a seismological research network. Together with national and international partners, a concept
is being developed under the guidance of Geo Research Center Potsdam (GFZ) that will
significantly reduce the warning time of a tsunami using real-time data transfer,
predetermined flooding scenarios in coastal regions as well as by creating warning reports
directly.
The Institution Building component is a joint initiative by the Indonesian Ministry for
Research and Technology (RISTEK) and BGR. It focuses on analysis of mandates of
authorities involved in InaTEWS (Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System), concept
elaboration for the organisational setup of the early warning chain, strengthening of interinstitutional communication, identification of training needs (administrative, political) and
support in implementing guidelines for the InaTEWS. The project started in June 2006 and
was finalized in December 2009.

the Beijing region. As first steps the seismicity has been analyzed and local velocity models
have been derived. The next steps planned are the further refinement of the velocity structure,
the integration of neighbouring stations of the Chinese networks and the incorporation of
geological (tectonic) models of the area into the interpretation of the observations.
Geo-Environment:
Investigations for the final disposal of radioactive waste
On the basis of the fruitful cooperation between BGR and BRIUG, a new
Memorandum of Understanding for the next five years was signed by both presidents in 2010.
The working fields are continually focused on:
- the methodological study of site characterisations,
- the study of the stability of underground excavations and underground repositories,
- the study of the mechanical and hydraulical properties of the granite of the Beishan
site (Gobi desert) in China,
- the study of migration of radio nuclides in fractured rock.
A joint paper on the work was prepared by BGR for the international conference
IRSM 2011 in Beijing.
BRIUG is involved in the EC-PEBS project coordinated by the BGR. The project
leader from BRIUG has visited BGR and jointed in the Kick-off meeting held in April.
Additionally, the Chinese partner is preparing the data from the site investigation of
Beishan for BGR, which is necessary for the build up of a geological model.

Coal fire project „Innovative Technologies for Exploration, Extinction and Monitoring of
coal Fires in North China”
Since March 2007 the second phase of the coal fire project is active. Whereas in the
first phase the exploration and understanding of mechanisms of coal fires had priority, the
ongoing work concentrates on extinction techniques, extinction verification and clean
development mechanisms (CDM) as defined under the Kyoto protocol. BGR is especially
involved in the development of techniques to estimate the exhaust gases and the fire
propagation of coal fires including geophysical, geochemical and petrological investigations.
These studies form a base for CDM studies. In this special application, coal fire extinction
shall be certified within the Kyoto protocol annexes in order to generate certified emission
reductions for international CO2 trading. The project will end in fall 2010. Project results
were be presented in an international workshop in spring 2010.

ANNUAL COOPERATING COUNTRY REPORT
Country/Organization:
THE NETHERLANDS
Period:
1 July 2009 - 30 June 2010
1. Introduction
During the reporting period the Dutch government, agencies and institutes only
passively collaborated with CCOP. However, as is reported below, there is substantial
activity in the CCOP region, notably in Vietnam and Indonesia and to a lesser extent in Korea
and the Philippines. The Dutch Government is changing its international cooperation policy
in view of globalization and the (very) recent elections and installment of a centre-right
government.
The focus of Dutch collaboration is very firmly on the general topic of water (as one
of the main issues in Millennium Development Goal 7), in the recent “Water Mondiaal”
programme with some association with general geoscience issues (water hazards, water
supply, partly from groundwater, and IWRM in coastal and delta zones). As a matter of fact,
the Water Mondiaal programme (Figure 1) has a relevant focus on countries in SE Asia,
namely Vietnam (Mekong delta) and Indonesia (greater Jakarta area), in addition to 3 other
delta areas in Bangladesh, Mozambique (Incomati-Limpopo delta) and Egypt (Nile Delta).
Traditional ODA (Overseas Development Assistance) is generally focusing on the poorest
countries, notably in Africa, and covers several of the most pressing MDG’s.
The worldwide increasing attention for climate change and the urgency in combating
its consequences (and natural hazards) leads to renewed interest in environmental
geosciences from the government. As recently discussed with the CCOP Technical
Secretariat Director Dr. He Qingcheng, chances for Dutch funding of (a) CCOP project(s)
may still exist through funds that are centrally managed for the Water Mondiaal programme
and could involve, on a bilateral basis, geoscience agencies in CCOP member countries (see
also below).
In addition to the Water Mondiaal programme there is support for international
cooperation from Dutch Government business development instruments. Applicants from
partner countries (in the CCOP region) may obtain partial grants for the purchase and import
of Dutch technology and expertise for development-related investments or create
opportunities in niche-markets for Dutch companies (viz. water technology, coastal and
offshore engineering, delta technology, climate change mitigation, environmental consulting).
These programmes are being pursued actively in country-to-country initiatives outside the
direct context of CCOP or geosciences. Furthermore, possibilities of research cooperation
exist in the EU framework programmes (KP 7).
Re-orientation and institutional reorganization of the Netherlands national geoscience
programmes have major consequences also for international collaboration. The Geological
Survey of the Netherlands (GSN), formally under TNO (Netherlands Organisation of Applied
Research) focuses more and more on its core information management tasks for the
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session

CCOP Technical Secretariat
Netherlands territory. Applied research and advisory tasks that formerly belonged to the GSN
have been transferred to Deltares, the autonomous knowledge institute for delta technology
(including many geoscience aspects of delta and coastal areas). Deltares is also the main actor
for international cooperation, knowledge transfer and specialist advisory projects. Deltares
and the Geological Survey of the Netherlands may collaborate in specific international
projects when needed. Below, an update is provided of international, CCOP relevant,
collaborations.
Figure 1: An overview of the delta regions of the Netherlands Government “Water Mondiaal”
programme. Focus is on addressing integrated water and delta environment issues. Specific
geosciences issues such as groundwater, subsidence, coastal and continental shelf process, climate
change mitigation will also be taken into consideration.
2. Current technical activities and geoscience programmes in the CCOP Region
(Multilateral or Bilateral)
China: Collaboration with Qingdao Institute of Marine Geology (QIMG), Geological
Survey of China. The project “Institutional collaboration on marine and coastal geosciences”
was completed. An MoU was signed between QIMG and Deltares on continuation of the
cooperation. Delegations of QIMG twice visited The Netherlands. Dr. Gualbert Oude Essink,
a senior groundwater expert of Deltares participated in case studies of QIMG on salt water
intrusion in coastal aquifers. Discussions on the content of ongoing collaboration, are being
coordinated by Mr. Cees Laban of Deltares / GSN.

CCOP Technical Secretariat
Korea: 4 Rivers Restoration project and Saemangeum land reclamation
Deltares has entered into cooperation with K-Water to assist with water management
expertise in the context of the “Four Rivers Restoration project”, focusing on the Han, the
Nakdong, the Geum and the Youngsan Rivers; and 14 tributaries to these rivers. Key issues are
management of flooding and drought. In a related development there is collaboration in studies for
land reclamation and geo-enmgineering (Saemangeum).
Vietnam: Mekong Delta programme. In a context of bilateral cooperation under the
Netherlands “Water Mondiaal” programme the Vietnamese government, through the Ministry
of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE) has requested The Netherlands to support a
Delta programme for the Mekong Delta. In this collaboration, high-level and technical
working groups will focus on developing a long-term, intersectoral (spatial planning, water
management, agriculture, infrastructure, etc.) development and climate change adaptation
plan for the 13 provinces in the Mekong Delta. It is envisaged that technical studies on land
and water (flood and drought management, salt water intrusion, subsidence, soil degradation,
coastal erosion, aggregates extraction) will make important contributions to the overall
strategic plan. Partners in the collaboration are MoNRE and MARD (Ministry of Agriculture
and Rural Development) and several technical institutes in Vietnam, and in The Netherlands
the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management, knowledge institutes
Deltares, Alterra, the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL), as well as
parties from the private sector.
Indonesia: Jakarta and peat lowlands: In a context of bilateral cooperation under the
Netherlands “Water Mondiaal” programme the Indonesian government, in particular also the
authorities of the Jakarta Capital region have engaged Netherlands expertise to address
flooding, environmental and spatial planning issues. Technical studies include (among
others): water resources planning, assessment of subsidence because of groundwater
extraction, assessment of high sea level induced flooding and further studies into the possible
future impacts of sea level rise and climate change. Studies for the Jakarta coastal region have
relevance for the management of coastal cities elsewhere on Java (Semarang, Surabaya,
Cirebon, etc.). In a second part of the bilateral programme attention is on management of
coastal peat lands (Kalimantan, Riau, Papua New Guinea). Over the past decades large-scale
conversion of these vulnerable peat lands for palm oil plantations has lead to massive
degradation. Oxidation of peat deposits forms a major contribution to Indonesia’s Green
House Gas emissions, while the detrimental affects of primary forest conversion leads to
unsustainable land use.
3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support to current and future
activities
Deltares and the Geological Survey of the Netherlands will continue to seek funding
for collaboration projects and appreciates initiatives from member countries, geoscience
agencies and state oil companies for opportunities to cooperate. Initiatives in the named delta
regions and adjacent coastal and offshore areas are particularly worthwhile for follow-up, as
well as pertinent climate change issues that affect multiple CCOP member countries.

4. Reports/publications of technical activities for dissemination to CCOP Member
Countries including contributions to GRID-Net
IGRAC: During the 4th World Water Forum in Mexico City, Mexico, 2006,
UNESCO and WMO reconfirmed the importance of sustainable groundwater management
and support of IGRAC. In April 2007 the Executive Council of UNESCO formally accepted
the proposal to establish IGRAC as a Category II UNESCO Institute in The Netherlands,
hosted by the Geological Survey of The Netherlands-TNO (now part of Deltares, see 5.). The
Centre operates a Global Groundwater Information System, promotes and develops
guidelines and protocols, exchanges groundwater information and addresses global
groundwater issues and trends. The member countries are invited to consult the web under
www.igrac.net to be informed about the results so far and also contribute to the benefit of the
groundwater community worldwide. The website also provides access to a number of
interesting products (maps, reports, videos), such as the recently completed map:
Transboundary Aquifers of the World (1: 50.000.000), 2009.
It was recently decided that IGRAC will be supported by the Netherlands Government
for another period of 5 years.
Geological Survey of the Netherlands: Petroleum Geological Atlas of the Southern
Permian Basin Area (Doornenbal and Stevenson (eds.), 2010; 342 pp.
www.eage.org/bookshop
The Southern Permian Basin Area (SPBA)-project is a joint project of the Geological
Surveys of Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom.
The aim of the Atlas is to present a comprehensive and systematic overview of the results of
over 150 years of petroleum exploration and research in the Southern Permian Basin Area.
The Atlas is published in paper (13 kilograms!) and digital (GIS) format. The project is
supported by a wide range of Petroleum Exploration & Production companies, licensing
authorities, research institutes and universities. It follows the successful launching in 2003 of
the "Millennium Atlas: petroleum geology of the central and northern North Sea". The
Geological Survey of the Netherlands and partners are now preparing for a comparable
project for North African oil & gas basins, the NAPGA initiative.
Deltares: Deltares prepares diverse technical papers and thematic reports. Most of
these provide state-of-the-art knowledge and views of Dutch and international experts.
•
Towards Sustainable development of deltas, estuaries and coastal zones:
Description of eight selected deltas / Trends and Responses (2009). Booklet and

•
Land and Water Management in the Urban environment (2009): This report
presents views of how to manage urban land & water in a robust and sustainable way.
What do we see as the future of cities worldwide? And how do we contribute to that
future? What are our aims and objectives, the values that merit protection and that we
work to support? The role of Deltares is to help governments, profit and non-profit
organisations and consultants with expertise acquired in a wide range of earlier
projects. We disseminate scientific developments and knowledge about urban land &
water systems to society as a whole, developing new concepts, innovative solutions
and new technologies in an integrated, interdisciplinary approach.

areas that are threatened by floods. Climate change will increase the probability of
extreme events, whereas population growth and economic development will increase
the potential impact of flooding. This report provides state-of-the-art views regarding
Flood Risk Management.
5. Other information
5.1. New Dutch Institute for Delta Technology: Deltares
In the preceding period, part of the Geological Survey of The Netherlands, namely the
Subsurface and Groundwater Division, became a founding member of a new institute in The
Netherlands, called Deltares. As from 1 January 2008, a new and independent institute for
applied research and specialist advice has been created from parts of Rijkswaterstaat / DWW,
RIKZ and RIZA, WL|Delft Hydraulics, GeoDelft and the Subsurface and Groundwater
Division of TNO Built Environment and Geosciences. The knowledge institute Deltares
(research institute for delta technology, water and subsurface issues, www.deltares.nl)
employs about 850 people and has comprehensive knowledge and experience in the field of
water, soil and the subsurface. The initiative for the formation of the institute has been
approved by the Dutch Parliament in the light of the global challenges The Netherlands faces
in the spatial planning, design and management of vulnerable deltas, coastal areas and river
basins. In The Netherlands, Deltares is the frontrunner in the development, distribution and
application of knowledge for meeting these challenges, not only nationally, but also
internationally. Deltares works for and cooperates with Dutch government, provinces and
water boards, international governments, knowledge institutes and market parties. The
institute is located in two cities: Delft and Utrecht.
Deltares seeks the right balance between consultancy and research at both the national
and international level. Deltares is concerned with areas where economic development and
population pressure are high, where space and natural resources both above and below the
surface have to be used and managed in multi-functional and intensive ways.
Background of the founding institutes
• WL | Delft Hydraulics: water-related issues worldwide.
• GeoDelft: issues in the field of geo-engineering.
• Geological Survey of The Netherlands - Subsurface and Groundwater Division:
groundwater management, subsurface/soil remediation and the management and use
of the subsurface domain, including the UNESCO Category II Institute IGRAC.
• The
Department of Transport, Public Works and Water Management
(Rijkswaterstaat): flood protection and safeguarding adequate supplies of clean water
for all users. Rijkswaterstaat has transferred knowledge development for delta issues
to Deltares.

under the P1 and P3 projects, and Petrad, supporting the P2 project. Agreement on
cooperation between CCOP and NPD, and between CCOP and Petrad where signed 9th
October 2008.
The project also includes a Feasibility study on Networking of Petroleum Geosciences
Institutes and Petroleum Geosciences Organizations in the CCOP Member Countries. This
study considers including the Asia Institute of Technology (AIT) as regional partner of the
CCOP Technical Secretariat for the networking. The inclusion of AIT is in accordance to the
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between CCOP and AIT, signed 13 June 2005.
During the reporting period, a total of six capacity‐building workshops have been
conducted; one for project P1, two for project P3, and three for project P2. Details of the P2
projects will be reported separately by Petrad. The workshops for P1 and P3 were as follows:
1. EPPM P1W2:
The second workshop of P1: North Sumatra - Mergui Basin Case Study: Basin
Analysis & Technical Fieldwork was carried out in Medan, Parapat and Bahorok in
Indonesia, 27 – 30 April 2010.
From CCOP MC a total of 49 persons attended the workshop. Resource persons from
Norway were Mr. Jan Stenløkk and Mr. Knut Henrik Jakobsson, both from the NPD.
The program covered topics like basin evolution and sedimentation, basin modelling,
sequence stratigrapic analysis, included host countries presentations of interpretations of
integrated seismic and well data. Also, technical fieldwork with various locations of outcrops
of basement, source rock and reservoir rocks in North Sumatra, was included as part of the
workshop.
2. EPPM P3W2:
The second workshop of P3: Metadata on Natural Gas Resources of the CCOP
Region, Metadata System Development, was carried out in Davao City, Philippines, 7-9
October 2009. The workshop was organized by CCOP Technical Secretariat with the
cooperation of Philippine Department of Energy (DOE) and Norwegian Petroleum
Directorate (NPD).
The CCOP Geoscience metadata system, as developed by the China Geological
Survey (CGS), was presented. It was agreed to use this system, with necessary adjustments to
accommodate specific items for oil and gas, as the EPPM system. As a consequence, there
will be only one metadata system for CCOP.
The member countries presented the status of the oil and gas activities in their
countries. Also, the metadata system development in Norway was presented. To help
identifying good metadata sub-categories a user-profile focusing on investor was chosen and
subject for group activities.
From the CCOP MCs a total of 43 participants attended the workshop. Mr. KjellReidar Knudsen, and Mr. Knut Henrik Jakobsson, both from NPD, shared NPD’s experience
on metadata.

ANNUAL COOPERATING COUNTRY REPORT
Country/Organization:
U.K./BGS
Period:
1 July 2009 - 30 June 2010
1. Summary
During the reporting year BGS has continued to pursue long-term projects in Papua
New Guinea (geological mapping and mineral potential assessment), Nigeria (geochemical
mapping) and the United Arab Emirates (detailed geological mapping and mineral
assessment), with funding respectively from EDF, the World Bank, and the Government of
UAE. Projects related to groundwater have been undertaken in Ethiopia and the Limpopo
Valley. Collaborative work with researchers in China has continued on several fronts,
including: (1) the Edinburgh Anisotropy Project (EAP), which has been focusing on the
application of seismic anisotropy for fracture characterisation in hydrocarbon reservoirs; (2)
research into carbon capture and storage (COACH); and (3) application of carbon isotope
analysis in determining the source of estuarine organic matter. Papers emanating from all of
these research activities were published during the reporting year and are listed under section
4 below.
The First World Young Earth Scientists (YES) Congress was held in Beijing in
October 2009 and was attended by BGS staff members Charlotte Vye and Chloe Wright, who
delivered presentations on OneGeology, landslide hazards, mineral planning in England, and
volcanism and mapping in the Afar region of Ethiopia. BGS hopes to play an important part
in maintaining a YES national network in the UK.
2. Review of current technical activities and geoscience programmes in the CCOP
Region (Multilateral or Bilateral)
The EDF-funded geothematic mapping project in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea
(GEOMAP) saw further progress during the reporting year with the completion of another
five 1:100k-scale geological and geochemical map sheets. To date, the project has collected
several thousand rock samples, prepared some 2000 thin sections (many with detailed
petrographic descriptions), approximately 370 whole-rock chemical analyses have been
obtained, and 570 rock samples have been sent for palaeontological determination by a range
of experts. In March 2010 GEOMAP handed over to the PNG Mineral Resources Authority
(MRA) the fully validated (QA/QC) digital geochemical stream sediment analytical data
which was released for sale in mid April. At the same time the final processed geophysical
data from the Highlands region and the Papuan Peninsula became available. To date, several
major exploration companies, including Harmony Gold, Rio Tinto, Newmont, Anglo
American, Marengo Mining, Barrick, Khor, Eng Hock & Sons, Highlands Pacific Group, and
BHP Billiton, have either bought or expressed an interest in buying the geophysical and
geochemical data. The GEOMAP project, which is being undertaken in conjunction with the
South African Council for Geosciences (CGS), Deutsche Montan Technologie GmbH (DMT)
and the Mineral Resources Authority, is due to complete in 2011.

Current status of geological and geochemical 1:100k mapping in PNG (GEOMAP) up to June 2010
BGS has been a principal partner in the Cooperation Action Carbon Capture and
Storage China-EU project (COACH), a three-year EC Framework-6 co-funded collaborative
project with Chinese and EU partners which finished in October 2009. The project
investigated geological storage options in the Bohai Basin (see map below) for CO2 generated
by coal-fired power stations in Shandong Province, where emissions are increasing as China’s
economy grows. Interim assessments have been made of the storage potential of the Dagang
oilfield complex (Tianjin Municipality), deep saline aquifers in the Jiyang Depression
(Shandong Province), and the Kailuan coalfield (Hebei Province). It was concluded that the
greatest capacity for storage appears to lie in the Jiyang Depression, although further
investigation will be needed to remove current uncertainties (Vincent et al. 2009).
3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support to current and future
activities
The EDF-funded GEOMAP project in PNG is due to run until 2011. A number of
map-sheets at a scale of 1:100 000 are currently in press.
BGS international activity is in large part dependent on the availability of external
funding, but there are currently no signs of similar large projects with EU or development

ANNUAL COOPERATING ORGANIZATION REPORT
Country/Organization:
PETRAD
Period:
1 July 2009 – 30 June 2010
1. History
Dr. Oystein Berg, was invited by CCOP/ASCOPE in March 1984 to lecture on R&D
in Offshore Safety at a seminar arranged at Pertamina in Jakarta. During this seminar he was
asked by Mr. Warga Dalem, then Secretary-in-Charge of ASCOPE, if he could assist
ASCOPE in arranging courses and seminars on Offshore Safety and Environment. Dr. Berg
was at the time Director of Marine Technology at the Safety Division of the Norwegian
Petroleum Directorate.
This also became the start of the cooperation between ASCOPE and CCOP through
the activities arranged by Dr. Berg. Numerous activities were conducted together until Petrad
- International Programme for Petroleum Management and Administration was established on
1 January, 1989.
Petrad is a Norwegian Government Foundation established by Norad - Norwegian
International Agency for Development Cooperation and the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate
to coordinate and facilitate sharing of knowledge and experience within the Petroleum Sector.
This is done through tailor- made courses, seminars and projects in cooperation with
Government Institutions and National Oil Companies in developing and industrializing
countries. A total of nearly 14500 managers and experts from 103 countries have participated
in the Petrad programs so far. Experts and lecturers for the various activities come mainly
from the Norwegian Petroleum Authorities, Norwegian and International Petroleum Industry,
Universities and R&D Institutions. However, a large number of international lecturers have
also made their contributions. Petrad draws each year on the expertise of approximately 200
lecturers from more than 150 government agencies, companies and organisations
Petrad has conducted a total of 188 courses and seminars together with ASCOPE and
CCOP Member Countries with a total of approximately 8000 participants as of August 2010.
Petrad has in addition had 189 participants from the region attending the 8-week
courses held in Stavanger, Norway, every year since 1991. Most of these participants have
received scholarships worth approximately USD 25.000 each. These scholarships have been
made available through Norad and the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.
Petrad also arranged EPF/94 - Exploration Promotion Forum in conjunction with the
World Petroleum Congress in Stavanger, Norway, in June 1994. This was a great success.
Petrad sponsored on this occasion 26 experts from 6 ASCOPE and CCOP Members. Petrad
together with the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate also assisted ASCOPE/CCOP with the
arrangement of another EPF in August 2002 in conjunction with ONS - Offshore Northern
Seas Exhibition and Conference. The Official Delegation consisted of 25 persons. In addition
there were another 25 representatives from ASCOPE/CCOP Members who participated in the
ONS-EPF.
Proceedings of the 47th CCOP Annual Session
Manado, Indonesia, 17-21 October 2010

CCOP Technical Secretariat
Petrad has in all the years since the cooperation with ASCOPE and CCOP started had
a large number of requests for tailor-made courses and seminars.
Petrad has with very limited financial support from the Norwegian Government
(Ministry of Petroleum and Energy Funding) tried its best to keep up the cooperation with
CCOP and ASCOPE and its Members. This has been possible because many of the speakers
used by Petrad who come from Norwegian Petroleum Authorities and Petroleum Industry,
have been willing to assist on courses and seminars without any charge for time and have in
very many cases also covered their own costs for travel and accommodation. .
All logistics and practical administration for the Petrad seminars in East and Southeast
Asia is done by the CCOP Technical Secretariate in Bangkok in cooperation with the host
organization.
2. Petrad activities with ASCOPE and CCOP Members in the period July 2009 – June

3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support to current and future
activities
It should be noted that all Petrad - CCOP/ASCOPE Workshops and Seminars are
tailor-made on request only.
This means that the Members of CCOP and ASCOPE must forward their requests for
seminars either through the CCOP and ASCOPE Secretariats or directly to Petrad.
The workshops and seminars are conducted on a cost sharing basis where Petrad takes
care of the expenses for the speakers from Norway and own administration whilst the local
host takes care of the expenses for the venue and own administration. Participants cover their
own cost. There is no seminar fee.
The Members of CCOP and ASCOPE are therefore requested to propose new topics for
courses and seminars for 2011.
4. Reports/publications of Petrad activities for dissemination to CCOP and ASCOPE
Members.
All reports from previous Petrad seminars in East and Southeast Asia are available
through the CCOP Technical Secretariat in Bangkok.
5. Others
Petrad is most grateful for the excellent cooperation with CCOP TS and CCOP
Members since 1984 and hope that this cooperation can continue in the future.

CCOP SECRETARIAT
Some questions to guide how the Secretariat optimizes implementation of Strategic Plan:
¾ What are the core functions of the Secretariat ?
¾ How should the Secretariat add value for the Member Countries ?
¾ How should the Secretariat be organized ?
¾ How should it be funded ?
ƒ
Advisors Suggestions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Critical review of the core functions of the Secretariat was needed in relation to the
Strategic and action plan.
Reorganization / restructuring were recommended to address core functions.
Sector Coordinator system should be discontinued
- Not generally successful in coordinating across Member Countries experts
- Not generally successful in generating new projects and revenues
After determination and prioritization of core functions by the Steering Committee,
appropriate funding and staffing must be identified and secured.
Secretariat core functions should be entirely funded by Member Countries
contributions - not rely on external project funds.
(Estimated present shortfall - $100 - 150,000 per year)
Increase Member Country contributions ?
BALANCED BUDGET
•
•
•
•
The Advisory Group congratulates the Finance Committee and the Secretariat for
analyzing and addressing the current budgetary situation of CCOP.
Budget can be balanced in short term using project budgets carried forward.
There is concern about the dependence on future project revenues.
Secretariat costs need careful management.
URGENT NEED FOR NEW PROJECTS
•
•
•
•
•
CCOP should use its strategic plan and action plan to identify and secure new projects
to fulfill its mission.
Present project inventory dependent upon a few organizations thus limited
diversification.
Many current projects end in 2011.
Concerning that new projects have not been identified yet nor fund confirmed for the
future.
CCOP should indentify Member Country matching funds contributions as leverage
for external support.
EXTERNAL FUNDING
•
•
•
•
Changes are taking place in the way Cooperating countries prioritize and provide
funding support.
The Advisory Group has some understanding of the complexity of the process of
securing external funding for projects and recent changes in government policies.
The CCOP Strategic Plan and the action plan being developed can be an important
guide for new project needs and priorities for the region.
When the approved action plan is available the Advisory Group could lead a
workshop to identify sources of funding.
